Chapter 201: The Importance of Album Song Selection
After twenty minutes, Chen Yichen gently put down the song sheet and breathed a long sigh of relief. It can be seen that he should be very satisfied with both songs.
'How about Ethan, do you still like these two songs?' β
Putting down the coffee in his hand, Ye Zi asked with a smile.
Chen Yichen breathed a sigh of relief again, picked up the coffee in front of him and took a sip, and then nodded very certainly: "Xiao Yezi, I like both songs." But...... But is the song "Unparalleled in the World" a little bland in melody? β
'Oh? Do you think the song "I Have Nothing" is better? Ye Zi did not answer his question, but asked how he felt about another work.
Chen Yichen hesitated for a moment, then scratched his head, and said with a little hesitation: "I just think...... The song "I Have Nothing" is a little more exciting, and the lyrics seem to have been written to my heart, what a ghost, I like it. β
That's right. Ye Zi smiled: "Ethan, these two songs will suit you." But like you said, this song "I Have Nothing" is more suitable for your personality, but if you want to say that it is outstanding, it must be "Unparalleled in the World" is even better. β
I myself prefer this song "Unparalleled in the World", it's cheaper for you. β
Chen Yichen hurriedly explained: "Xiao Yezi, I don't dislike this song "Unparalleled in the World", I just think that its melody is the kind that flows slowly, and it feels a little flat for me. β
'I prefer the melody to be a little bit bigger'
It's introverted, not bland. Ye Zi shook his head and corrected Chen Yichen's statement: "So I'll give you a JianyΓ¬, this song "I Have Nothing" can be directly used in the first album, and put it together with the songs "Song of the Times" and "I Wait for the Flowers to Thank You". β
As for this song "Unparalleled in the World", I suggest that you put it on your second or third solo album. β
'Why?' Chen Yichen asked.
'Why?' Ye Zi repeated with a smile: "Do you want to listen to the truth?" β
Chen Yichen frowned. Then he calmly said, 'Of course. Xiao Yezi, say whatever you think, I can accept other people's opinions. β
'Good. Ye Zi was also very simple: "There are two reasons. β
'First, you don't need every song to be good on an album, which is a basic principle of making an album. You can ask Keny, and he will explain to you in detail the rationale and benefits of doing so. I won't explain it to you here. β
Chen Yichen nodded: "Well, Brother Keny has analyzed this with me, he said that there is no need for this, is this what he means, Xiaoyezi?" β
'Pretty much. Ye Zi took over: "Anyway, there are many factors that have decided, ten songs on an album, and it is absolutely enough to have three or four songs, at most half of which are relatively good." You see that many albums on the market are just one or two title songs, and the rest are all messy songs, and people still sell well? β
If all ten songs are the best of the best, this album doesn't really get the point. The party will also lose money. How can there be so many good songs for you to choose from? So Ethan, from the point of view of making an album, in the first album, you'd better use only one of these two songs. β
'Knowing Xiaoyezi, this truth was also mentioned to me by Brother Keny before. Chen Yichen happily accepted this reason: "Is there any other reason, Xiaoyezi?" I heard you just say that this is the first, but what about the second? β
'Second? Ye Zi repeated Chen Yichen's question again, and shook his head slightly: "Ethan, are you sure you want to listen to this reason?" β
Obedient and listening. Chen Yichen was stunned for a moment, and then smiled. Laugh bluntly. Smile calmly.
Ordering Ye Zi across the table, Chen Yichen shook his head and smiled.
'You...... Xiaoyezi, you also underestimate me too much, right? Am I that vulnerable? You just don't say that I know, it should be that my current singing strength is not enough to sing this song well, right? Like I've always thought the melody of this song is a little flat, am I right? β
Ye Zi pursed his lips deliberately, and also smiled, smiling easily. Laugh heartily. Chen Yichen has set out the necessary conditions for becoming an excellent singer, that is, to correctly measure his current strength and achieve a target.
This is very important.
From the perspective of song singing, there will be no problem with high singing strength, but it is difficult to ensure the effect if it is low or high. It's not good. A good song loses its original charm. This kind of thing has happened countless times in the music industry, and it will continue to happen countless times.
Ye Zi didn't want such a situation to happen. But if you tell him bluntly, I am afraid that Chen Yichen's face will not be able to hang up. After all, people also have strong singing strength, and Ye Zi's statement is tantamount to a direct slap in the face.
This is not a suitable way to deal with problems between friends, but fortunately, Chen Yichen has a correct understanding and measurement of his strength, which also avoids the embarrassment that Ye Zi faces.
'Ethan, your current strength is not bad, and you can still perform this song, but it will be a little lacking in charm. It's like you think the song is a little bland, but it's actually a very restrained song, and it's a charm to sing and listen to. β
If you put it on for a while, after the tempering of one or two albums, your su zhΓ¬ in all aspects will rise to a higher level, and at that time to sing this song "Unparalleled in the World", it will definitely be a little more suitable than now. β
'What do you think?' β
Ye Zi asked with a smile.
Chen Yichen patted the table lightly and smiled: "Then listen to you." When I can feel the charm of this song, I will record this song again at that time. β
'Good! Great! Ye Zi raised the thumbs of both hands and praised loudly.
This is Ye Zi's heartfelt praise. Chen Yichen can say such things, as a singer, his high heart has been fully reflected.
"You have won awards, you don't have to be so polite, Xiaoyezi. β
Ye Zi's praise made Chen Yichen smile, but he still said modestly: "I still have a lot of shortcomings, I have to continue to study and improve, hahaha"
'Cut~~~'
Ye Zi put down the thumbs of both hands and raised the middle fingers of both hands high at the other party.
β¦β¦
Actually, there is a small factor. After laughing for a while, Ye Zi returned to the topic just now: "This song "Unparalleled in the World" can be launched as the title song of the album, and the song "I Wait Until the Flowers Are Thanks" can also be released, but "I Have Nothing" cannot. β
So all things considered, the first album includes the title song "Flowers", plus this song "I Have Nothing" and the "Song of the Times" that you have already launched, and this album is about the same. β
If you put another song "Unparalleled in the World", it will feel like it will be a little too much, and it will be difficult to balance. Even when doing publicity, it is not easy to grasp the key points. β
Ye Zi said his conclusion.
Well, listening to your analysis, I think it should be okay with that. Chen Yichen replied very seriously: "Then I will go back and start practicing these two songs." β
'Okay, feel free to call me if you have any questions. Ye Zi nodded: "We keep in touch." When I come to Xiangjiang again after the New Year, I will help you record these two songs in the studio if I have time. β
'Really? That's great. β
Chen Yichen was very happy. Ye Zi is the creator of these two songs, and if he can come during the recording, it will definitely be of great help to the recording of the songs.
'Little leaf, then it's decided! Don't change anymore! Chen Yichen directly knocked Ye Zi to death about this matter.
Isn't it a prison barn? What a big deal. β
Ye Zi learned a mantra that Yanjing's children were used to, waved his hand, and said lightly.
Well, ahem, it's really a bit overdone. (To be continued.) )
