King of Stage

Since the end of the Grammys, the topic of One Day King’s second album has been brought up intermittently, and Ronan’s answer has always been consistent:

The creation has been going on all the time, but there are no plans for the second series for the time being.

But now it seems that compared to Ronan’s uncertainty about "opening up all possibilities", Atlantic Records has a more detailed and clearer development framework-

The first album is still on sale, and the subsequent waves caused by the Grammy effect continue to spread, but the concert and the second album are already on the agenda.

Using the concert as a bridge can not only promote the first series, but also preview the second series. After waiting for the six-month tour, we can usher in the second series as a matter of course, and maximize the Grammy effect step by step. And really establish the brand effect belonging to the band.

Such a plan is unusual.

Because the road to the rise of the king in one day is extraordinary, the transition from being unknown to flying into the sky is too sudden and too ferocious, so a tailor-made plan is needed to pave the way for future career development and make it more special. The plan gives the King a day more possibilities for development.

So, while planning the concert, I started to prepare for the second album, which is truly different.

Of course, the most important thing is that Atlantic Records believes in the creative strength of the King in One Day! This dared to put the second album on the production agenda early, and it was such a bold and risky attempt. Without some courage and confidence, I am afraid that no record company would dare to try.

Such a special plan is completely consistent with Ronan's ideas.

Before the Coachella Music Festival, Ronan put forward the concepts of "fresh start" and "set sail", removing the baggage of Grammys and returning to the world of music again, so the band performed two new songs with special significance. Repertoire, "Strangers" and "Embracing the Newborn".

And now, the band has truly embarked on a new journey, starting from the concert and walking on the road again.

From this perspective, Atlantic Records undoubtedly understands King One Day and at the same time accommodates King One Day.

They did not hope to take advantage of Grammy's east wind, strike while the iron is hot, and ask the king to release one or two albums that cater to the market's preferences a day, so as to boost sales, establish a position, and gain a firm foothold.

It's like the magic red of the year.

In 2005, the Magic Red Band won the Grammy Newcomer of the Year Trophy with the album "Love Song to Jenny". The single "This-Love" from the same album also won the best pop for them in the next year. The gramophone trophy of the Band Award is nothing short of a time, and countless people have high hopes.

However, it took four years for the album "A Love Song to Jenny" from the release to the award. The Magic Red Band does not want to repeat the same mistakes. When making a new album, they hope to produce a more popular and popular album. , So he invited Grammy-level pop producers to check and create the band’s second album "It-Won't-Be-Soon-Before-Long".

In terms of commercial performance, "No need to wait" did usher in a huge breakthrough, and once again won the Grammy Best Pop Band trophy for the Magic Red Band the following year; but in terms of style and characteristics, the Magic Red Band was lost. With his initial sharp edges and corners, he gradually merged into the mainstream market, and no longer has his own color.

From 2007 to 2013, after a long trough in the commercial performance of the Magic Red Band, they rebounded again. However, their recognition among the Grammys and professional music critics has shown a plummeting posture, and they have never been able to. Win the gramophone trophy.

Even the album "No Need to Wait", the work "Makes-Me-Wonder" that won the Grammy for Magic Red is not a new creation, but a demo recorded in 2003-that is to say , Still before the success of Magic Red.

After 2013 and into the more distant future, the music performance of the Magic Red Band has become more and more "fluxed", that is to say-

The performance of singles is getting better and better, the more the battle is getting more brave, almost every album's first wave and second wave of the title song can create good results; but the album sales have been steadily declining, and there are fewer and fewer diehard fans willing to buy albums. Then, the Magic Red Band became the same flow singer as the Jonas brothers.

Sorry?

There is no need, because the magic red band still achieved excellent commercial results, which can be described as a success.

Are you strangled?

It is undeniable that since 2011, the Magic Red Band has never been able to win any Grammy nominations. The rock genius who once relied on their amazing talents turned out to be submerged in the commercial torrent, although they have achieved great commercial success. , But his own color has almost disappeared. Between gains and losses, it is difficult to tell whether it is good or bad.

Take Magic Red as an example, not to say that this is not good, but to say that this is a choice, and a choice without regrets. At the same time, Atlantic Records does not want the King to make such a choice one day.

Atlantic Records first signed a contract with King One Day because they were optimistic about the talents and characteristics of this band. They hoped that the band could bring more outstanding works in rock and roll. Now there are many outstanding pop bands in the commercial market, but they have personality. Outstanding rock bands are rare.

Even Lincoln Park is thinking about transformation.

For the commercial market, there is no king for a day, only a dispensable role is missing. They may not be able to make a **** road in the fierce competition; but for independent music, it is not, for the king of the day. Color is indeed a special presence in the current market.

It is precisely because of this that Atlantic Records cherishes the talents of King One Day, and sincerely hopes that they can break into a world.

Therefore, Atlantic Records gave full support to the idea that the King would embark on a journey again one day, and this was the situation.

The two parties ~www.readwn.com~ can be said to hit it off, this cooperation is still in the honeymoon period——

In a sense, the tolerance and boldness of Atlantic Records contributed to the success of "Seven". One day, the King also returned the appreciation of Atlantic Records with excellent results. Now, the two sides will continue to achieve each other, looking forward to the next album can still achieve each other.

As far as Johnny is concerned, the same cannot be more satisfied.

He sincerely hopes that his singer can remain professional and pure, although in the aura of Vanity Fair, this is indeed very, very difficult; but from jazz to rock and roll, Johnny's pride and persistence have never changed.

Johnny admits that he is selfish, and he hopes to realize the jazz dream he has been pursuing but never realized on the king in one day. Therefore, for the current cooperation model between Atlantic Records and King of the Day, Johnny raised his hands and feet in agreement, and looked forward to the results.

Johnny has enough patience, step by step, starting from the concert, and then to the next album, to see what sparks such a collaboration can bring out.

For the King of One Day, he couldn't help but start to look forward to more.
