Chapter 140: The First Chinese RAP!
On February 19, the headlines of the entertainment pages of major newspapers came out. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
As no surprise to everyone, every headline today is reporting on the terrifying first-day sales of Hong Ning's new album "Fantesi".
Netart News - "Mei Tianhou was defeated by him, and the future king was born!"
Tengfei News - "Hong Ning! The Real Successor of the Chinese Music Scene!"
Sohu News - "The Real Musical Genius!God Holds His Hand and Writes Songs!"
The media who were not optimistic about Hong Ning before the release of this album were of course completely slapped in the face, and some of them chose to keep silent and never mention this matter again, but after all, this is a big event that has shocked the entire Chinese music scene, and how strong Hong Ning's future will be is almost foreseeable, from now on, he will definitely be a pivotal heavyweight in the Chinese music scene in the future.
Therefore, the vast majority of media musicians still chose to come out and apologize for their previous remarks.
Of course, there are also many professional musicians who have commented on the six songs on the "Fantesi" album.
Among them, there are two of the most famous music critics in China, one is Ren Yunlong, the royal music critic of the magazine "Listening to the World", who once commented on Hong Ning's "Sunny Day", and the other is Zhao Hong, the royal music critic of the magazine "Popular Music", who has commented on "Listen to Mother".
This is Ren Lao's Weibo evaluation of "Fantesi":
"From last night to now, the entire Chinese music scene has been like an earthquake with a magnitude 8.
All of this comes from a little guy who just came out, hehe, maybe it shouldn't be said, he already has so many excellent works.
To be honest, I was probably half an hour away yesterday after listening to the six songs on this album, and there was only one thought in my mind at that time: the Chinese music scene is finally saved!
Without further ado, let's cut to the chase first.
The name of this album is called "Fantesi", which is a literal translation of English Fantasy, which means fantasy, I heard that this name was also taken by Hong Ning himself, I guess, he should just want to say, this album embodies his musical fantasy, of course, this is just my guess.
But there is no doubt that this album does show us that he is musically beyond ordinary people's imagination! People who have no imagination for music will never be able to write a song like "In the Name of the Father", I can't even imagine who else in today's Chinese music scene can make this album, really, Mei Ruxin's "Crescent Moon" may be similar to that of many female singers in China, Yang Yicheng's "Leaving the Injury" There isn't much of his uniqueness, not to mention, none of the songs on their albums were written by themselves, and the arrangements were not their credit, they were just responsible for singing, at most they performed the songs well.
And Hong Ning's "Fantesi" this time, the lyrics, music, arrangement, and singing of the six songs are all on him......
The contrast between the two can be seen.
I won't say too much about professional terms or anything, the specific analysis of each song will appear in the next issue of "Listen to the World", my Weibo, not so much a music review, is actually an expression of my admiration for this junior, that's right, just like you young people, I also worship Hong Ning now! He is indeed worthy of your worship!
Before he released this album, some people said that he was arrogant, yes, this young man was indeed arrogant! Because he dared to go against the market! He dared to do powerful things when he had idol popularity! He dared to release an album without singing love songs, all singing Hip-Hop! He can make the non-mainstream mainstream!
I'm just going to give this album a score for "Fantesi", and the same as most of you who decisively put a five-star rating on the software, let me do it, and I'll give it a perfect score!
If someone asked me about Hong Ning's musical talent, I might say: genius, ghost talent, etc., but now someone asks me what his musical talent is...... I think I'd say something like:
For example, Hong Ning and other top singer-songwriters are racing on the track, his strength is enough to run before others reach the finish line, he himself runs back and forth, and when he returns to the starting point, he picks up his mobile phone and continues to sprint towards the finish line......
And tell me: I'm going to add an egg.
Then put down your phone and keep running, overtaking everyone again!
To put it simply, his musical talent is far from all the singer-songwriters in the current Chinese music scene, and I can tell you very clearly that the myth of Hong Ning has just begun!
If the Chinese music scene has the strength to compete with Japan, South Korea, Europe and the United States in the future, then he must be the one who takes the lead!
Finally, thank you Hong Ning for this New Year's gift to me - "Fantesi"!"
The latest issue of another music critic Zhao Hong's magazine "Popular Music" has come out, and Mr. Zhao Hong has spent a full three pages on each song of Hong Ning's new album to make a detailed analysis, and like Ren Lao, he is also extremely praising Hong Ning and this album.
"Seriously, I don't know how to praise this talented musician, but after the release of this work of art, I think his talent is far beyond all of our imagination!
Whether it's the lyrics, the arrangement, or his singing, the six songs on this album are absolutely perfect, and if I had to pick out the shortcomings, I can only say: it's perfect!
I still can't believe that it was really done in a month......
Oh my God, this is crazy! Someone asks if there is anyone else in the Chinese music scene who can make this album, and I can tell you: there is probably no second person in the world who can do it!
I tell you very seriously: The complexity of the arrangement and production difficulty of the song "Flurry Dance" alone has surpassed the entire album of many domestic singers!
Every Chinese who loves music should be glad that such a peerless genius was born in our China, and we should also be glad that he appeared in this era! Even if it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a gift from God!
Let's talk about it first, I haven't received money from Hong Ning or anyone in his company, you should also know that I, Zhao, am not that kind of person, maybe some people will think that I said too much, maybe some people will listen to this album and think it's not enough, but ...... In a few years, more than ten years, if you listen to this album again, you should know that I am definitely not exaggerating!
There is a great chance that this "Fantesi" will be the pinnacle of Chinese rap music for decades to come!
I said it before, I was pleasantly surprised by his rap in "Listen to Mom", I really didn't expect him to release an album with rap on every song so quickly, it seems that he has also been "planning for a long time", hehe.
There should also be music lovers who understand rap and feel that his rap seems to be a little different from those singers in Europe, America, Japan and South Korea abroad, indeed, Hong Ning's rap is not a standard Rap to be precise, his songs are a mixture of RnB and Rap, completely forming his own unique Hip-Hop style, I will call this "Hong-style rap", yes, he is a pioneer!
On this album, he not only created his own rap style, but also created dark styles such as "In the Name of the Father" and "Chapter 7 of the Night".
He also created Chinese-style hip-hop music such as "Nunchuck" and "Flurry Dance"!
This has never been seen in the Chinese music scene before!
And these songs are all in this album!
Do you have any reason to deny that this is a divine album?
In fact, Rap music was also controversial when it first appeared, and it was slowly accepted, music is such a thing, in the final analysis, it is to make people feel good, as long as someone thinks it is good, then it has the meaning of existence, obviously, Hong Ning He did it, it has been proved that his fusion is very successful, he does have this ability to make people instinctively feel good.
Indeed, rap music has always been considered unsuitable for the aesthetics of Chinese, and no rapper in China has been able to succeed in the past, and gradually this has become a minefield, and no one dares to do rap music in China.
I have been thinking about how to make rap music that is acceptable to Chinese, but I didn't expect that this young man did it, he taught me a lesson, and he also taught all Chinese musicians a lesson, rap must die? No!
There is no doubt that Hong Ning is the first person in the Chinese rap industry at present! This "Fantesi" is a work that proves the strength of Chinese rap to the world!
Next, I will analyze each song, and let more people know what is so great about the songs on this album in addition to being good.
The first song ......"
Obviously, whether it is Ren Lao or Zhao Lao, their positive attitude towards Hong Ning's album is extremely consistent, not only the two of them, but many professionals have expressed their admiration for Hong Ning's production of this album in the past two days.
Hong Ning's acquaintance and "national husband" Tang Jing also posted a long article on Netart Cloud to comment on this "Fantesi", the title is:
"The first person in Chinese RAP!"
