Chapter 12: Album "Faded" (Ask for Recommendation Votes)

Early the next morning, Severn drove his silver-white Lamborghini to EMI's headquarters again in a sky blue casual suit, slim black slacks, and white Adidas sneakers.

"Master Severn, you're here. It was still Bob Smith who greeted Severn, and although Severn's gambling agreement with EMI seemed to Bob Smith to be a clown, it didn't show it.

After the polishing of society, he has already become extremely sleek, not to mention that Severn is still the son of the Earl of Spencer, no matter how bastard he is now, when Severn inherits the title, he will definitely be the top group of people in Britain in the future, so Bob has no reason to offend Severn.

"I'm going to trouble Mr. Smith again this time. Severn said apologetically.

"Hehe, it's okay, these are all things I should do. Bob Smith didn't care.

"I wonder if the studio is ready?" Severn asked.

"It's all ready, I'll take Young Master Severn over. ”

Bob Smith took Severn to the elevator, and after passing room after room, Bob Smith stopped and opened the door to a recording studio.

"Young Master Severn, this recording studio is specially prepared for Master Severn, all the equipment in it is top-notch, and there will be professional personnel to come later to help Master Severn record the album. Bob Smith said to Severn.

Severn walked into the recording studio, looked around, and found that these devices were all new, it should have only been installed for a short time, and at the same time Severn tried the microphone and stereo, and I have to say that the sound quality is very good.

"Not bad. Severn was satisfied.

"Young Master Severn is satisfied. Bob Smith dismissed Severn's praise because he was used to hearing it, and how could a recording studio at a big, deep-pocketed record label like EMI be bad.

A moment later, a group of people walked in.

"Hello Master Severn, I'm EMI's music director, Tom Reeves, and this time I'll be helping Master Severn record the album. ”

A middle-aged man in his thirties in a suit and leather shoes said that EMI was very magnificent, and although he signed a gambling agreement with Severn, he still sent a music director to help Severn record the album.

Severn looked at the gentlemanly man in front of him, he was very satisfied, clean and capable, and personable, this was his first impression, and he helped supervise Severn's album, and Severn felt a little at ease.

"I'm going to bother you for the next while. Severn said modestly.

"It's okay, I don't know if the song recorded by Master Severn has been brought?" asked Tom in a fluent English accent to Severn.

"Brought. ”

Severn took out the USB flash drive from his coat pocket and gave it to Tom Reeves, Tom's expression did not change, he took the USB flash drive and plugged it into the computer, and began to read the lyrics written by Severn.

The first song is "Rolling In The Deep", Adele's masterpiece that later became Adele's masterpiece, which won the first place on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart, occupied the top spot of the Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart for seven weeks, and became the year-end ranking champion of the Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart!

It also won three awards from the Grammy Awards: "Song of the Year", "Production of the Year", and "Best Short Film MV". Although "Rolling In The Deep" is a female voice, thanks to Severn's unique voice, Severn sings no worse than the Adele of the previous life!

《I am You》

A little lyrical song.

《Apologize》

The song drove Timbaland's album "Timbaland Presents: Shock Value" to over five million sales, causing a huge sensation!

The more Tom Reeves looks, the more excited his heart becomes, and his hands tremble uncontrollably, any song on this album is a classic, and now they are placed on an album, Tom Reeves can't imagine the sales of this album.

One hundred million?

No, far more than 100 million!

Tom Reeves thought to himself.

"These songs....... You wrote it?" Tom Reeves looked up and looked at Severn as he struggled.

Severn nodded and said, "Of course." What, isn't it?"

"No, very good, these songs are very good!" Tom Reeves excited, "I suggest you make these songs into singles and distribute them better than into albums, and you do that, it's really ....... What a waste!"

If these songs are made into singles, they make several times as much money as an album! In the UK, a single costs £50 and an album costs £25.

Of course, this refers to the comparison of a good single to a regular album, but in any case, for the company, making these songs into singles is more profitable than making them into an album!

The more he thought about it, the more excited Tom Reeves became, as if he had seen the rise of another pop king, and his eyes were full of burning color when he looked at Severn.

But Severn shook his head, what he urgently needs now is fame and money, if every song is made into a single, then it will undoubtedly cost Severn more time and energy.

"Thanks to Mr. Tom's kindness, I decided to make an album of them. ”

Hearing this, Tom Reeves sighed with a little regret, "Okay, you get ready, let's start the official recording next." ”

"No problem. Severn nodded.

In between Severn's songs, Tom Reeves left in a hurry and went to the top of the company to find EMI's CEO, William Barley Vaughn.

Knock~knock~

"Please come in. William Barry Vaughn's voice rang out from the room.

"Boss. Tom Reeves said respectfully as he walked in.

"Oh, it's Tom, what's the matter, it's done so quickly, how does it feel?" asked William Barry Vaughn casually.

"Boss, no, didn't finish recording. I might have bad news for you. Tom Reeves whispered.

"What's going on?" said William Barry Vaughn, putting down the papers in his hand.

"Our bet against the son of Earl Spencer, we could lose. Tom Reeves smiled wryly.

"Oh?" said William Barry Vaughn, "tell me about it." ”

"Yes. Tom Reeves moistened his throat and began: "I think the lyrics written by Master Severn himself, how to say it, each one is a masterpiece, and it is the number one existence in the music charts."

But Young Master Severn put them all in one album, I'm afraid that the sales of this album of Young Master Severn will really exceed 100 million!"

"Are you sure?!" asked William Barry Vaughn, whose calm face finally moved a little, in a surprised tone.

"Sure!" replied Tom Reeves.

"Whew~"

William Barry Vaughn exhaled lightly, leaned back in his chair, lit a cigar and smoked slowly, his expression was uncertain, he was sure of Tom Reeves's level, he said that if the sales could exceed 100 million, it would probably be more than 100 million.

"Boss, what are we going to do?" asked Tom Reeves.

William Barry Vaughan thought for a moment before he resolutely said: "If the quality of his album is really that good, then use all the company's resources to promote it! The sales volume is over 100 million! There are several people in this world who have achieved such achievements, and this is undoubtedly an opportunity for our company to get one step closer!"

At the level of William Barry Vaughn, it is no longer a matter of personal gains and losses, but the development of the entire company, and it is clear that he sees an opportunity for this development in Severn!

"During this time, you help him record the album well, and I will arrange someone to do the company's publicity. William Barry Vaughn waved his hand.

"As for VAM agreements......... We don't have anything to lose, and if we really sell more than 100 million, we can still make a lot of money, can't we?"

"Yes, boss. Tom Reeves stepped back.

For the next three days, Severn stayed at EMI to record songs, and finally left on the fourth day. Because today, it is the time for the release of his new book, "The Da Vinci Code"!
