Chapter 40: The Second Mini-Specialty
"I just wanted to say, we've done a couple more songs and want you to record a new album. Max said.
"That's all?" asked Sid warily.
"That's all. Max nodded.
"No, I still have to prepare a movie, I don't have time. Sid didn't even want to veto.
"Don't just say no. Marx said helplessly.
"Even if I don't talk about your pranks, I really don't have time right now. Seeing Max's appearance, Sid's tone relaxed, but he still didn't let go.
"Don't talk nonsense, I've already asked Lindsay, you don't have any other work at the end of the month. The Oscar nominations are about to start, and you're not in the mood for anything else, hehe. Max laughed and poked.
"Cut, you clever fellow. Sid pouted, not objecting this time, "But are you sure that just one week is enough time to record an album?"
Generally speaking, it takes more than half a month to record an album with already written songs in the studio.
"It's not a studio album, it's a mini-album. Max Martin said with a smile, "There are only 7 songs in total, and most of them are TeenPop-style 'old songs', so it's not that difficult to sing." Moreover, our recording studio for the past two weeks has also been specially set aside for you to record for you. As for MTV, it will be filmed on the following weekend. β
"You've already settled your feelings, haven't you?" Sid couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard Da Lai's careful arrangement.
"Or would I have come here with such a big grin?" said Max Martin with a grin.
The scheduled break before the Oscar nomination ceremony was also ended by Max's "mess in", and Sid now has to record all day in the studio every day.
And this time, Max Martin and they prepared for Sid exactly the album songs from "historical" Superboy after he joined Jiva Records.
"POP", the title song of Superboy's last album in history, is the culmination of TeenPop music, and only Max Martin and his team could have created it.
And Superboy was able to overtake the Backstreet Boys, and this song definitely contributed to it.
In addition, several other soothing or lyrical songs such as "Girlfriend", "Gone" and "Senorita" are not only contributed by Max Martin, but also joined by soul boss Farrell Williams.
Although Sid's debut album has several clear and striking souls, he is not weak in his grasp of pop and soul music.
Whether it's the more "simple" TeenPop or the soul music that is similar to the soul music, Sid is able to control the pace of real and false sounds.
Another person in history who can play like this is only the magic red lead singer and Saodang, who can't kill the fake pitch.
"You're a good girl, make me trust so much-lurk in the dark and secretly say to you--when you are touched by me, you will find my difference-"
Sid wore headphones and sang freely in the studio, his voice was long or short, falsetto high or low, although Sid was naturally "impressed" by these familiar songs.
But now that it's his turn to sing, of course he will want to sing in his own style, but as the saying goes, it's easy to judge and hard to judge, even Sid is hard to know how well he sings when he sings with sound-isolating headphones.
And now this song "Like I Love You" is a choral song.
After Sid raises the end of the refrain with falsetto, 50Cent's rap follows.
"Mom, what do you do at the bottom line?ββ I'll stand in front of you-grab a buddy, the joy of flying together-or you and I can perform on stage-kids in the mall, how to turn down the volume-don't hear it, wow! It's just as exciting here!ββ"
Although in the recording studio, it is not necessary to connect the two singing scenes, but if you can connect them in one go, of course, it is also the best result.
Whether it is the harmonious cooperation between the two singers or their mastery of the song, it is beneficial and harmless.
When 50Cent was recording some of the four-person group's hip-hop songs before, he found that he was unscrupulous and scolding street rap, and he had a high harmony with Sid's scheduled and rhythmic singing, which means that they worked together very Feel!
Therefore, in this song "Like I Love You", Sid and Max also thought of him first, which led to this collaboration again.
"Mom, understand the implication - let me run free - the name is Malicious, let me indulge now - 50Cent and S Leonhardt - this is great!"
50Cent is worthy of being a powerful rap cutting-edge, rapping in one go, and the rhythm and pace are well grasped.
Sid listened with a smile and snapped his fingers with a smile.
Just as 50Cent finished rapping, Sid and the assistant singers who sang the background harmony live next to him were ready to follow the lyrics.
"Maybe tonight we can fly togetherβ" The backing vocals sang the lyrics together, and then Sid opened his mouth and pulled the "I" sound out of his throat: "I just want to ......"
At this moment, the door of the recording engineer was kicked open with a "ββ!bang", and a petite figure with blond hair "brushed" intruded, blinding everyone on the spot!
"Britney?" 50Cent asked subconsciously.
If anyone else "dares" to break into Sid's workplace so facelessly, there are only two little princesses in the fire lion, Britney and Lindsay, and the only blonde is Britney!
"No way, my Britney can't be so short (flat). Sid only glanced at the intruding figure, and immediately shook his head in denial.
And the blonde girl who broke in, with a flick of her long hair, finally revealed her delicate and pretty face, "OK, who do you think you are?!......!
Then the blonde girl saw Sid and 50Cent standing in the large glass of the studio, and her delicate face was cold for a second before she reacted, "OMG! It's Sid Leon!?"
Just when everyone was stunned because of the blonde girl's intrusion, another voice followed: "Ivy, I said it all, don't be so excited-"
It was a bearded man in a suit who followed the blonde girl, apparently following in an unsuccessful attempt to stop him, but as soon as he looked up, he saw Max Martin, the creative director of Fire Lion Records.
"Mr. Martin, I'm sorry, I didn't know you were here. The other party immediately secretly shouted in his heart, he was the blonde girl's music agent.
The blonde girl is a new singer under the Fire Lion Records, although she is young, but she has a good talent, so she has always been unique among the new singers of the Fire Lion.
