Chapter 238: Change

After the members of Princess made their decision, the production of their regular album was immediately put into the schedule, and the promotion of "Nobody" was fully announced, and the members' schedules were reduced one after another, freeing up time for Princess to devote herself to the production of the new album.

The title song "FallingLove", the other nine songs are the English version of "FallingLove" and "Nobody", the hiphop-style "DoyouLoveme", and the R&B-style "It's Okay, It's Love!" ", as well as the fresh "JomaJoma", electronic dance songs "Flyhigh" and "IwantYouback", and the last two songs are two English songs "WishingAstar" and "Vacation" temporarily added by Lee Jun-hee in order to let Princess break into the European and American pop music scene.

Nine new songs, different versions, and the quality of each song can be used as the title song, such a luxurious combination, put in one album, except for saying that Lee Jun-hee is willful, there is really no other idea.

Princess was also shocked when she heard the demos of these songs before recording, not only because of the super high quality of these songs, but also because the style of these songs is so ~~~~~~~~ and complex!

The unity of the song style of an album, or a musical group, is very important, because after accepting a style of a musical group, fans suddenly make a change make fans feel unprepared, and whether they can accept it or not is a question.

“oppa! I think~~~~ I want to ask, what is our style? Cui Zhina couldn't help frowning when she looked at it. Of course, she likes these songs very much, but if you put these songs together, the style is too inconsistent, what is the positioning of Princess?

Sexy? Lovely? Retro?

Still is~~~~~~~~~~~

For Princess's question, Lee Jun-hee had thought of it a long time ago, so the answer he gave was: "Variety!" ”

From the very beginning, Lee Jun-hee never thought of stipulating princesses in a certain category, nor did he want to bring shackles to their development, so. Before Princess's debut, Lee Jun-hee had already made plans for their future development.

At the same time, in the field of music, Lee Jun-hee also hopes that these girls can try different music genres and develop more comprehensively, if Princess just sings the toxic retro song of "Nobody" all her life, even if it is a big hit for a while, but after a long time, people who listen to it will feel aesthetic fatigue, which is unavoidable. Therefore, from the initial stage of Princess, the style type that Lee Junxi set for them is varied.

Seeing that the girls were a little confused. Lee Jun-hee explained: "The variety of styles I am talking about is to let you be on the stage, you can say that the cute girl next door can be a noble princess. At the same time, it can also be a seductive goblin, so that fans will constantly feel the freshness of your group, I say. Do you understand? ”

"Does OPPA want us to dance on stage?" Lin Zhenna whispered.

When Li Junxi heard this, he almost didn't choke to death by this girl, what does he want? It's like he's a weird uncle.

Seeing Lee Jun Hee's embarrassing appearance, the girls couldn't help laughing, if Lee Jun Hee talked to them about "variety style" before their debut, they would definitely be suspicious, but now, after the success of "Nobody", the girls have absolutely unconditional trust in Lee Jun Hee, just like they accepted "Fallinglove", a reggae-style dance song as the title song of their new album, almost without much hesitation, Lee Jun Hee positioned them as "Variety." "Styling, the girls are also unconditionally accepted.

Princess is going to release a regular album, and the official website of the NRG company released the news in due course, and after the hype of the media, people's expectations for this album are no less than the popularity of the seventh album when NRG launched the seventh album before.

On Princess's fan club, fan messages have accumulated to more than 100,000 in just one day.

"I'm looking forward to the princesses' new work, is it the work of Junxi Oppa?"

"Produced by NRG company, it must be a high-quality product, the princesses' "Nobody" craze has not passed, and a new album is about to be released, is this going to be a posture in the Korean music industry?"

"I'm looking forward to the princesses' new album being of the same quality as 'Nobody', and when will it be released!?"

"I love Princess, but the promotion of "Nobody" is not over yet, and a new work is about to be launched, can the princesses' bodies be able to eat? Must be healthy! ”

Because of the success of "Nobody", Princess now has a faint trend of topping the top spot of the Korean girl group, which is no doubt, before Princess, the Korean girl group market is basically a vacuum, although there are also Suger and Seeya, but because the style is too similar to the previous SES, although the strength is good, but it can't arouse people's interest at all.

Until Princess was born, it quickly filled the gap in the Korean music industry girl group market, and people suddenly found a new bright color in the song world full of dazzling male groups.

In terms of popularity, the current princess is no longer weaker than the original three girl groups, and the only thing they lack is qualifications, which is the work.

Therefore, Lee Jun-hee couldn't wait to produce a regular series for Princess when the publicity work of "Nobody" was not completely over.

After all, no one is a fool, seeing the success of Princess will definitely stimulate those brokerage companies and make them re-attach importance to the girl group market, according to the latest news, S.M companies are already working on building their girl group, and DSP seems to be making moves.

These two brokerage companies originally created SES and Fin.KL. For the operation of the girl group, it can be said that it is very familiar, once the girl group of these two brokerage companies debuted, Princess has not been able to establish her status in the Korean music industry, with the background of the NRG company, in terms of operation, it will definitely not be as good as the two old companies, and at that time, the best situation is to let Princess join the melee of the girl group.

But it's obviously not what Lee Jun-hee wants to see!

Therefore, Lee Jun-hee's positioning of Princess is changeable. He wants people to see the qualities they see in other girl groups, and he wants to make Princess a unique existence in the Korean music industry.

In order to achieve such a goal, whether it is Lee Junxi, the maker, or Princess, the protagonist, they must be 100% involved.

In the recording studio of NRG, Princess is recording the title song of their new album "FallingLove", and Lee Jun-hee's attributes of excellence as a producer have exploded again. The girls have been recording for four hours, and they have sung a song over and over again, intermittently nearly a hundred times, but unfortunately they still can't satisfy Lee Jun-hee.

Although the girls are trying to play a reggae style. But they have never really been exposed to this type of music, so they can't really grasp the essence of reggae music at all.

Reggae music originated in Jamaica, and when it comes to the origin of the name of this reggae, it actually comes from the name of a street in Jamaica. It refers to the trivial things in daily life.

The early reggae music was actually a way for a group of poor people living in the city to express their protests, so most of the content was written about social revolution. Fateful remarks. Or it's just a bunch of radical words, and sometimes I really think that the lyrics are so bitter and ironic!

However, of course, not every lyric is so angry, and some lyrics convey justice, hope, and noble and great love!

In the '40s, reggae's main sound equipment, such as turntables, amplifiers and large speakers, could be moved on trucks, which not only made it easier for performers to move around, but also made reggae more common.

By the 60s, reggae music was becoming very popular in Jamaica, and it gradually became popular among various discos.

DJs in the dance hall add a lot of rap to reggae music, which not only strengthens the rhythm of the music, but also makes the dancing crowd more energetic!

Reggae music combines traditional African rhythms, American rhythms and blues, and original Jamaican folklore, a style that includes "downbeat alto savings", "upbeat guitar strumming", and "vocal chorus", with lyrics emphasizing social, political, and humanistic care.

Today, reggae is not only a happy melody, it has become a Latin American phenomenon recognized all over the world. Reggae is considered Latin hip-hop because, in addition to his melodies and sensual tones, it is more of a way for younger generations to express their emotions and thoughts about the issues that affect Latin American society today.

Originating in the Spanish-speaking countries of the Caribbean, this sensual melody blends elements of rig, hiphop and Latin music to create a zào full of joy and sensuality.

Of course, Princess's song "FallingLove" does not have that profound meaning, it expresses a simple happiness and freedom, but Princess has never been able to grasp this feeling, and they seem to care more about their skills in singing songs than enjoying the joy of music.

Calling the princess out, the girls couldn't help but feel a little worried when they saw Li Junxi's face was very bad, in fact, they felt that they had sung very well, but they didn't know why, or they didn't know what was wrong, Li Junxi was just not satisfied.

Li Junxi had already disciplined them several times just now, and this time it seemed to be stricter than just now, but the problem was that they were dissatisfied with something, they didn't know what they were dissatisfied with, and even if they wanted to, there was no way to correct it.

“oppa! We ~~~~~~~~"

Song Qian wanted to say something, but Li Junxi interrupted her with a wave of her hand, rubbing her swollen brows. Tomorrow will join the group to shoot "Those Years", but so far the recording of the album has not progressed at all, which makes Lee Junxi a little anxious, and his temper is a little big.

“ok! It's not your problem! Lee Jun-hee took out his phone and called his assistant Bae so-kyung, "Find some Bob. Marley's record comes, it doesn't matter who he is, as much as possible! ”

Lee Jun-hee said Bob. Marley and his orchestra are the originators of reggae music, although for today's young people, Bob Murphy is the originator of reggae music. Marley's age is too old. But in Lee Jun-hee's opinion, to listen to the most authentic reggaeton, it must be Bob. Marley.

Lee Jun-hee asks Bae so-kyung to go to Bob. Marley's record is just to give Princess a good feel for the essence of the most authentic reggae music.

It didn't take long for Pei Xiujing to come back, but what she got back was not a record, but a USB flash drive, obviously. Bob. Marley's record is too unpopular in South Korea, and Bae so-kyung, who was forced to helpless, could only download some songs of the late old gentleman on the Internet to revive his life.

"Listen to it, and feel the joy and freedom that I just said to you! And feel the rhythm of real reggae! Do you understand? ”

After Li Junxi finished speaking, he directly plugged the USB flash drive into the device. Find the text and click play.

The music sounded, and Princess, who had never really been exposed to reggae music, seemed to be thrown into the primeval forests of the Americas at once with the music, and the sounds of many Jamaican unique ethnic instruments. At the same time, there is also an electronic voice, and the male voice who sings seems to be not just singing, although his words are very clear. But there were also some tone words, some yelling, sighing, at first it sounded a little noisy, but after really listening to it, they immediately discovered another world that they had never been in contact with.

After all the songs downloaded by Bae so-kyung were played, Lee Jun-hee said to Princess, "How did you feel just now?" ”

The girls pondered the class, or Cui Zhina said: "I can't say the specifics, in short, I feel very comfortable, in fact, I don't think this Bob. Marley sings so well, but listening to him just makes people feel so comfortable, and I can't help but want to dance along. ”

Choi Ji-na's answer is not what Lee Jun-hee wants, but compared with just now when he couldn't find the door at all, it's still a little better: "Reggae music, not to mention those lyrics that reflect social issues, what its tune really wants to convey to people is actually a happy feeling, including reggae style dance is the same, reggae dance doesn't need to have much advanced dance skills at all, and even people who can't dance, as long as he is willing to show himself, he can stand up and dance, this is reggae, it's not that complicated, Try to put aside all the thoughts in your mind that show your singing skills and singing skills when you sing, and just enjoy the music, and when you go back in, remember to laugh when you sing, understand? Laugh out, don't make yourself so nervous, you are on this path because you love music, don't turn yourself into a tool to show music! ”

Li Junxi didn't know if he could understand what he said about these girls, but after starting recording again, at least this time, it felt like he had caught it, and Li Junxi took the opportunity to stop twice, commented again, and recorded again, this time, it felt right.

In fact, if you want to say something wrong with Princess's singing just now, I can't say anything specific about Lee Jun-hee, the music itself is a kind of sensory thing, and if it's right, you can naturally feel it, and if it's not right, you feel awkward no matter how you listen to it.

Princess, who completely found her senses, finally sang the whole song completely this time, and when the music ended, they seemed to feel it, and after reacting, they all looked at Lee Jun-hee for the first time.

Lee Jun-hee felt the girls' gaze and gave them a thumbs up with a smile!

After the recording of the most difficult song, the other nine songs are much simpler, except for the English version of "Fallinglove", the other songs focus on singing skills.

For Princess, they are constantly honing under the demanding maker of Lee Junxi, and they are definitely experienced in a hundred battles, and then recording other songs, it will be much easier, at most, in terms of pitch and harmony, let Lee Junxi say a few more words, and they can do the rest themselves.

The speed of work accelerated, and Lee Jun-hee's tense nerves relaxed instead, and he really enjoyed the joy of music with the girls.

The moment the sky brightened, all ten songs were recorded, and the girls were rushed to rest by Li Junxi, and the excited Li Junxi couldn't sleep at all, so he copied the book and began to write the MV of these songs, and then he was going to enter the crew of "Those Years" and start the filming of the movie.
