Chapter 409: Recording a new album

Gu Cheng deliberately investigated.

Pop country music has a growing audience around the world, and the default first channel on many private cars is country music channel 92.3.

Country music has a strong rustic flavor.

The singer uses a chatty tone, a thick nasal voice, and easy-to-understand lyrics to tell a story that ordinary people understand.

The unswerving loyalty of love and the warmth of family have become typical characteristics of country music.

This country album is their second and possibly last country music album in Europe and the United States.

With the accumulation of the electronic music specialty "Storm" and the foreshadowing of the previous country music, Gu Cheng is full of confidence in the next album.

Universal executives took this country music album very seriously.

In order to let Gu Cheng devote himself to creation.

Universal's music director George not only personally deigned to be their music producer, but also arranged the top music production team in Europe and the United States for Gu Cheng to send at will.

Look at this musical genius who has changed the entire European and American music market by himself.

George was really excited.

"Gu Cheng, how many songs do you plan to release on this album?"

"Ten songs!"

George thought about it for a moment.

"Neet You Now" at the American Music Awards, "Love Sto" on the billboard

y", and the Grammy's Yeste

day O

ce Mo

e", "500 Miles", so far they have released four hits.

"There are still six tunes left to make an album, and if it is fast, it will be able to complete the recording of the album in three months."

"A week!"

George was stunned, "What week?" ”

Su Qi smiled and explained for Gu Cheng: "What he means is that this album will only take one week!" ”

George suspected he had misheard.

"Gu Cheng, are you kidding?"

"Mr. George, am I joking?"

Gu Cheng will be busy with the wedding next, and he will also prepare a confession album under Su Qi's nose.

How can you spend so much time here?

So before he came here, he thought about the new album to be a quick one.

Gu Cheng took out the two copies of the music sheet he had prepared and handed them over.

"Mr. George is not happy with you saying that I have already written the songs on this album."

"Here are two of the songs, "Lemo

T

ee and Tea

d

ops o

my guita

》。 ”

"So fast?"

George took the letter suspiciously.

As soon as he got his hands on the manuscript, his eyes widened instantly.

Gu Cheng didn't bother him.

Compared with other pop music in Europe and the United States, he has less contact with country music.

Most of the songs he is familiar with are those that are known all over the world.

So for the fifth song, Gu Cheng's first thought was the English introductory song "Lemo".

T

This country song is from the German band Fool's Ga from the nineties of the last century

de

hand, cheerful, playful and slightly sad tunes became popular all over the world, making this originally unknown 5-member band of country D popular all over Europe at once, and it also became well-known to Chinese people after being covered by Su Huilun.

The lyrics of this song are about one of the most beautiful sorrows in life - the attempted first love.

Every time he heard this song before, Gu Cheng's heart would stir up a kind of sadness that could not be explained.

The sixth song is "Tea," which is a country pop diva

》。

The works before the 1989 album were basically in the style of country music, with albums and singles.

The song "You Belo

g With Me and Love Sto

Y" is a masterpiece of early country music.

A small amount of rock elements are added to Y Pop, making the whole song compact and completed in one go, and the whole song is full of youthful songs on campus, with a brisk style and strong rhythm, which makes it feel hearty to listen to in one breath.

Both of these songs are very good works.

After half ringing.

George looked up in amazement.

"Gu Cheng, these two pieces are your original works?"

Gu Cheng smiled and nodded, "It's like a fake!" ”

George swallowed.

"Gu Cheng, can you tell me how long did you use these two songs?"

"Less than half an hour!"

George: "........."

So this genius is not exaggerated by the outside world?

Su Qi smiled: "How is it, is there a problem with these two songs?" ”

George immediately shook his head, "No problem! No problem at all! ”

If there is a problem with such a song, then those traffic songs on the charts are rubbish.

"Since there is no problem, let's record!"

These two songs are not very difficult for Su Qi, and she has already memorized them by heart as early as when she was in Huaxia.

And Universal's production team, every musician is the best in the industry.

So the whole recording process was very smooth, and it only took one day to complete the recording.

Jack couldn't believe it.

In his career, he had never seen a singer finish recording so quickly.

However, what shocked him even more was yet to come.

After recording these two songs.

Gu Cheng actually handed him the seventh song directly.

"Mr. George, this is the seventh song."

"It's not pure country music, it's a rock country."

Although country music is an American folk song, it is a kind of pop music with the unique characteristics of country M, but its original roots do come from the Y folk song.

Whether it's country or rock, it's all about different musical styles.

Different musical styles have their genres, and it is only when it develops widely and influentially that we remember to recognize this genre and define it as a certain musical form.

Folk songs have different forms of expression in various countries and nationalities, and when it has a wide audience, it can also become a certain form of music under folk songs.

For the seventh song, Gu Cheng chose the Beatles' never-fading classic "hey Jude".

If jazz and rock are "urban" music, they promote and highlight rebellion and violence.

Then the leisure of country music is more suitable for interpreting sweetness and warmth.

Upon its release, "hey Jude" immediately became the hottest single in many countries around the world with its positive energy and unique arrangement, becoming the best-selling single of the year in 1968, topping the U.S. B chart for 9 consecutive weeks, and has sold about 8 million copies worldwide.

This legendary band born in country Y has overwhelming record sales in the world, with the highest record sales statistics of various records in the world, and hundreds of millions of records sold worldwide.

Classics have their own unique colors in any era, and Shenzhen can be said to be more authentic and flavorful the older the classics.

Every Olympics before London had a theme song, but London invited the Beatles directly.

The power of music can travel through time.

When 10,000 people sang "hey Jude" in unison, it really showed that this is the real world harmony.

But when Jack got the score, he quickly frowned.

Because the song is significantly longer than the average song, but halfway through the song, there are no clear lyrics, and instead there are paragraph after paragraph"

He said euphemistically: "Gu Cheng, why is this song so long?" ”

Gu Cheng didn't even raise his head.

"Before the emotion arrives, a song should not end, and when the emotion arrives, it will naturally end when it is over."

George: "......"

Su Qi looked at his ugly face and said with a smile: "Mr. George, don't you think this arrangement is very unique?" ”

"A song that doesn't keep people going on is a minute, and if it's inspiring, I don't think there's a long or short song."

Jack couldn't argue with that.

The song is really inspirational, and the whole song conveys the inspirational belief of "being brave to pursue love, and taking the future into your own hands".

You don't have to think about it, you can infect the young people of today.
