Chapter 2 Europe and the United States

New year, new atmosphere.

Although the clouds of 911 have not completely dissipated, after the New Year's bell rings, both the public and people in the entertainment industry want to face the coming year with a new mood.

In this context, Viking Records, a subsidiary of Fire Lion Records, once again released the last three songs from Sid's debut album, and this time the direction of the release is not only North America, but most of the developed regions in Europe and the United States, including European radio!

After more than a year of integration, Fire Lion Records completely ate the resources of the previously acquired Viking Records, and the former CEO of Viking Records, Jason Furlong, was reappointed as the COO of Fire Lion Records, and participated in the Fire Lion record business as Barry Weiss's deputy, while the rest of the Viking executives were also carefully selected and spun off to join the management of Fire Lion Records.

After a boiled frog-like makeover, Fire Lion Records finally became a quasi-large record label with branches across North America, Europe, and even the Far East.

And this time, Sid's three singles were broadcast simultaneously on North American and European radio stations, which was actually a test for the nascent record department.

"Good morning everyone, today is Tuesday, January 1st. It's great for you to listen to FM355, we're here for 'pop music'. "A local radio station in London officially started the day at 9 a.m.

"I don't know how everyone spends Chinese New Year's Eve this year, whether they are at home with their families for a big meal, or go to the banks of the Thames with their lovers to watch the beautiful flowers of the London Eye?" said the middle-aged handsome host into the microphone.

"Okay, without further ado, it's time for us to listen to a new song when the New Year comes. I know we have a couple of the freshest singles here. The beautiful partner of the middle-aged handsome guy couldn't help but smile and urge.

"OKOK, my partner is really anxious. So the first thing I want to recommend to you are the three new songs by American singer Sid Leonhardt, produced by Viking Records. The middle-aged handsome host said.

"Oh——, I know that. The beautiful partner continued, "But is Sid Leon really a singer?"

"Hmm, what do you mean?" asked the handsome middle-aged host, puzzled.

"I mean, isn't Sid a famous director? Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone is still what he directed? What would happen if he actually sang? I'm curious. "The words of the beautiful partner do represent the opinions of many people.

"Ell, as far as I know, Sid performed a song at a charity concert in New York last year, and it was said that he still sang very well. The middle-aged handsome host said.

"That being said...... "The beauty partner smiled and shrugged.

Although the time has come to 2002, the information exchange in the Internet world is still dominated by text and pictures, and even in areas with low network speed and bandwidth, it is still easy to "kill cats".

The number of viewers of the "New York Charity Concert", which was only broadcast on Fire Lion TV and NBC TV Network, is relatively limited, especially for viewers outside North America, and even more so about Sid's singing, which has only been heard of and not seen with personal eyes.

So for listeners in Britain and even other European countries, Sid's singing is still a "rumor".

"Well, since everyone is so skeptical, let's listen to it as soon as possible, whether the rumors are true or not, we will know after hearing it. The handsome middle-aged host gestured to the assistants outside the recording room as he spoke, and then a staff member announced Sid's latest chart-breaking single "It's going to be me".

"Oooo

As soon as the song begins, the rhythmic beat immediately catches everyone's attention.

"It's definitely me—" an electronically mixed male voice sings the song's title.

Then the song officially kicked off with a dynamic rhythm.

"You may have been hurt, baby—that's not a lie—you watched them come and go——, remember you telling me—that made you believe that there are no tears without men——, maybe that's the reason—everything I've done to you—never good enough for you—"

Completely different from the ethereal and clear singing in "Hold My Hands", in order to better interpret these TeenPop songs, Sid also learned her alto and transposition skills from Britney, especially her glutinous sticky voice.

It's a big killer to sing this kind of TeenPop song.

"You don't want to lose anymore - but I'm not like them - baby, you're going to fall in love with someone else in the end - guess what?—— that's me!"

"It's going to Be Me" is a TeenPop-style love song, but with a little more tenderness and momentum than the rhythmic and action-packed backstreet boys.

This mix of styles gives young listeners a unique freshness, and as the song plays, both the studio host and the listener at the radio can't help but hum along to the tune and beat.

"Guess what I've done for you—it's never good enough for you——, you don't want to lose it anymore — but I'm different from them — baby, you're going to fall in love with someone else in the end — guess what?—— it's me!"

"Wow, it's pop music!" exclaimed the middle-aged handsome host, who had heard Sid's first few songs before, whether it was "Hold My Hands" or others, all of them were very unique and soothing.

But he didn't foresee that the single that was released in the end would actually be pop!

"Don't you think this kind of tune is very TeenPop style?" The beautiful partner is a younger grade, and she has a lot of treasures about the style that young people like the most.

"Uh, you're trying to say that it's a lot like your favorite backstreet boy, right?" laughed the handsome middle-aged host.

"That's right!" the beautiful partner clapped her hands and laughed.

"I don't think so, although the song "It's going to Be Me" is also TeenPop style, but I think Sid has made his own interpretation and interpretation of the backstreet boys' style, and I feel better. The middle-aged handsome host said after tasting it.

"No way, no way, no one can compare to my backstreet boy!" the beautiful partner shook her head in disagreement.

But the middle-aged handsome host is not so easy to be convinced, he just deliberately wants to provoke such a controversy, so that interested listeners can participate, so that the listening rate will be guaranteed.

"Well, it seems that Jenny and I can't convince anyone, I wonder what you listeners and friends think of Sid's new song "It's going to Be Me"? ”
