Chapter 53: Blues Rap
"But it's not too late." Li Mochou cheered up, her eyebrows fluttered when she spoke, and she was very emotional, "With the songs I received from the company, plus the songs you prepared for me, I can create a boutique album." ”
"The only pity is that your song is in English, I don't know if the fans will buy it."
Li Mochou was not sure.
Because of the relationship with the world, the penetration rate of English in China is still relatively high, it is much higher than the penetration rate of local languages such as Cantonese, but compared with Chinese, the penetration rate of English is nothing.
Abandoning the vast Chinese song market and turning to English, even Li Mochou is not too sure.
But let her give up these fine songs to sing those inferior Chinese songs, she is also unwilling.
"Try it." Li Lin said: "When the time comes, I will first release an English song to try the response, and if it works, I will include all the songs I gave you." ”
"If it doesn't work, then find a way."
Li Lin also didn't have a good idea, because of some historical policies, the record markets of various countries in this time and space were separated, and it was difficult for each other's records to enter the record markets of other countries.
"Okay." Li Mochou said 'yes' and pulled Li Lin to the recording studio, "I'm going to record the 'PriceTag' you wrote for me now." Come with me! ”
She is inviting Li Lin to sing with her.
PriceTag is not a duet song for men and women, but there are also male voices in it, and in Li Lin's previous life, this song was sung by JessieJ and Bobby Jr.
"Okay."
Li Lin and Li Mochou walked into the recording studio together, and all the staff in the recording studio were preparing and could enter the working state at any time.
Li Mochou picked up the headset and handed it to Li Lin, "Here, I hope we have a happy cooperation." ”
"It's a pleasure to work with." Li Lin took the headset and put it on top of his head, and then constantly adjusted his state, and hummed along with the music score, looking for musicality.
"Who's that man?" While preparing, several staff members were whispering on the side, "I can actually cooperate with a big-name singer like Li Mochou, it doesn't look like a senior in a certain music industry." ”
"Maybe it's a newcomer."
"I'm really envious, I can actually cooperate with a big name like Li Mochou, and when Li Mochou's album is released, he can also be familiar in front of fans."
"Familiar? People's faces have long been familiar. One of the people next to him sneered, "You haven't read the nearest newspaper, have you?" ”
"The scandal between him and Li Mochou has made a lot of noise, and he has long been familiar in front of fans, and I heard that Li Mochou personally went to ask Wang Xide for him, just to make him a student of The Voice."
"It turned out to be a little white face."
"Rely on women to get on top."
"It's disgusting."
There are many strange ways to get on the top in the music world, but singers who rely on women to get on the top are the most despicable, and they will be looked down upon everywhere they go.
"Okay, no more talking." The recording engineer walked over, and just now he also heard his colleague's words, "It has nothing to do with us whether others rely on unspoken rules to get to the top, we just need to do our job." ”
"It's not that it's none of our business." Just said that Li Lin was sneered at by the staff who were on top of the unspoken rules, "What ability can a singer who relies on the unspoken rules have?" He came to cooperate with Li Mochou, wouldn't it make us ordinary staff suffer?! ”
"That's just as well." The sound recordist's eyes flickered a few times.
Singers who don't play well in the studio often drag the staff into endless work, and this colleague of the recording engineer is not unreasonably worried.
But then the recording engineer shook his head, "Forget it, no matter what, Li Mochou is also our gold master, what is it to suffer a little." ”
That being said, but the recording engineer was still worried when he returned to his post, if Li Lin's singing skills were not good, with a lot of Li Mochou, then they would be forced to do so.
He'd heard that there was a recording studio that recorded a song for a singer and it took two months to record it.
"Let's get started!" The recording engineer shouted, the rest of the staff were ready, the accompaniment sounded, and Li Mochou sang after reciting a short R&B.
"Seemslikeeverybody'sgotaprice"
Iwonderhowtheysleepatnight
Whenthesalecomesfirst
Andthetruthcomessecond
Juststop, foraminuteandsmile (pause for a moment and smile) ....... ”
Li Mochou sang happily while swaying to the rhythm, using his hands and feet together, swaying his head with a headset, completely immersed in the ocean of music.
Seeing this, Li Lin was also taken aback, "I didn't expect that she could play to such a point when she arrived in the recording studio." ”
However, although he was surprised in his heart, he did not show it.
When Li Mochou finished singing his own part and pointed his finger at himself, Li Lin took Li Mochou's words and began to rap.
“youcan‘tputapriceonlife
Wedothisforthelove,
sowefightandsacrificeeverynight
Soweain‘tgon‘stumbleandfall,never……。 ”
Li Lin's part is a rap part, which is not very difficult, and he adds a blues style when he raps, and his body is also swaying, and the tips of his fingers are cocked, imitating the customary 'up and down' movements of Arthur Kid when singing yes.
The simple movements were combined with Li Mochou's random swing just now, intertwined into a simple dance.
"How is that possible?"
"Not really."
"This rap sounds very American."
The recording studio suddenly exploded, many of these people have gone to the United States to study, after all, modern pop music is the best developed in the United States, and people like them are embarrassed to say that they are in this business if they don't go to the United States to get in touch with the most fashionable and cutting-edge music styles.
Rap is separated from black music, and the specific origin is impossible to verify, but there is no doubt that the most mature place for rap music is in the United States.
And during the time when Li Lin just now, although he added the blues style, his pronunciation when singing was close to the United States, no, it was simply pure American style.
If you don't look at people just by listening to the voice, American fans will think that this is some newly debuted black singer playing rap.
"Shut up." The recording engineer glanced at his staff unhappily, and then looked at Li Lin's eyes full of surprise.
Li Mochou played well, that's for sure, but it's a surprise that a singer like Li Lin, who doesn't know where the road pops out of nowhere, sings so well.
He originally thought that he was guilty, but now it seems that not only will it be easy to suffer, but he also vaguely feels that he should record a song for the two people in front of him with the most severe attitude, and strive to squeeze out all their potential.
