Linkeddb News November 16& have spent Guide language: In the era of music industry reshuffle, but did not waste a point of their talent. Variety, film and television, hot style divine comedy, concept album, and LIVE CD sound quality, all covered and highly rated. If the album and solo singing as a personal senior and senior examination, her above minor and major are the right points. Whether it's just issued at the end of last month. The aurora & quot; Concert LIVE album, or the year-end release of a personal album, in such a steady state of mind " The examinee & quot; Before, all destined to become a series of her music MVP career milestone.

The most successful music talent show in the Chinese music industry in the past decade. TheVoiceOfChina ". And the most successful person to come out of this stage , is not Diamond Zhang This third season champion.

Since winning the title in 2014, the tianjin girl has been in the country for four years. In the past four or five years, it is the rising tide of the Chinese music industry.

The "copyright wars" that took place from 2015 to 2018 have made the Internet, which focuses on online traffic, the dominant force in popular music. A number of streaming artists have dominated the Chinese entertainment ecology, from movies and variety shows to music. To be well known, 70 percent of a singer relies on variety shows, talent shows, movies and television music, 15 percent on web celebrity "divine comedy," 10 percent on live performances, and probably less than 5 percent on albums. In this environment, Diamond Zhang has become a rare emerging musician with high production and no vulgarity.

First, her voice is uniquely recognizable. Nowadays, among the female singers in the Chinese music industry, the high-pitched singers are quite common. For example, Diamond Zhang's voice is not only stable in high pitch, but also natural in middle and low bass.

Second, she is not only a capable singer, but also a talented singer. Diamond Zhang has performed the works with great difficulty and span, and she can handle them with ease. This is both based on the ductility and plasticity of her voice and also on the understanding of her works. Even a piece of pop music can be handled well.

In her case, she has gathered some of the most representative pop elements in today's Chinese music industry in the past decade, including the integration of international perspective and academic background. She is a talented university student in the foreign language university and has been enrolled in the Korean women's team for further study. Become famous in the mainland talent show stage, "good voice" "masked singer" "singer" have left the representative work; Dramas almost arranged in recent years, the most popular songs, known as the "OST queen", a "cool" the screen on each big music APP for a whole year - Diamond Zhang, these three words is the buzzword of the Chinese music over the years without name, but everybody is familiar to her at the same time, but no one can feel this name anything because of the popularity, on the contrary, there are a lot of people think of her works has its tonality, just like her voice characteristics.

From her album and personal concert, it can be heard that she has her own unique preference in aesthetics of music, but also has a very straightforward persistence.

For album producers, for example, there's a new album coming out this year, from arai zhuanglang, who made his debut in 2016 Zheng Nan , the ideas are very consistent: full authorization, all the dishes are handed over to the same person; Young and new, the most talented post-80s musicians of the day; Tonality literature and art, in the past the production of singers are mainstream with a bit of independent temperament. Similarly, the co-songwriters from the previous feng han Ming, Chet Lam , liu hu Li Jian Green to this yearWu Tsing - FongIt is not hard to see that Diamond Zhang loves individual musicians with independent temperament.

In her concert, this personal color is even more intense than the album. Take her first concert two years ago. Since the act the role ofing & quot; On stage, the possibility of release on soul and jazz is far beyond her OST music. However, in June, 2018, Beijing " The aurora & quot; During the concert, the keyword changed from "possibility" to "main tone", and she began to put concepts and tones into her concert as if she were making an album.

Cover songs are much less written than before, and the direction is clearly defined by the Hong Kong and Taiwan singers of the past two decades, and the coverage of foreign covers is mainly Japanese - in my opinion, no matter Mika Nakashima When the surrounding by the cherry blossom (sakura color dancing う こ ろ) ", derived from Okinawa folk masters pleased, changji the "flower" of the original "Lydia" with J POP flavor, and Diamond Zhang's own "listen to snow" "cool" and so on ancient costume martial arts drama OST song big heat, the Oriental aesthetic purport of the internal is very consistent. Thus also sent to make this "aurora" the tone, and even the singer's own interpretation, but also with the eastern way of poetic remote, heavy and introverted show.

Two years ago it was the golden rule. Since the act the role ofing & quot; This is an oil painting of brutalism. The aurora & quot; It is a roll of literati meticulous brush painting. To some extent, the two concerts with different themes after two years can be regarded as the masterpiece of Diamond Zhang's personal music career as well as the album of the same period. Only after listening to them deeply and carefully, can we truly understand her music aesthetic and pursuit.

& have spent In Diamond Zhang's heart, she may never regard those popular movie and TV songs, those bitter and lyrical pop music, as her goal, but she does not reject these popular elements. In this era of digital music, which is the king of traffic, we should make good use of the topic works such as cool and cool, which are closely related to popularity and popularity. TheNutcracker With such a strong musical style of personality, Diamond Zhang keeps a delicate balance. Diamond Zhang has played two CARDS: follow the mainstream, and create web celebrity and hot style. One hand is elaborately carved quality, first from sound tension to create personality, then music style to reflect personality, and then individual creation to show individuality. In the new generation of singers, it is rare to have such a sense of balance, may be only her and Yoga Lin The duo also sing along with Zheng Nan, the producer.

As with the album producer's choice, she is also impeccable with the music director's choice for the concert. Two years ago, tan yi zhe and this year's andong, looking around their past album production and live performance supervision, can be said to have both quality and fan industry conscience. In the "midnight in the morning" of the "aurora" concert, the tension between the band and the singer can be clearly heard -- this UpBeat, UpBeat song is both a test of the band's harmony and sound dynamics, as well as a test of the singer's stage performanceKim Seok - hunBut the song ended up being one of the highlights of the show, thanks to the power of the singer.

& have spent & have spent & have spent & have spent In an age when traffic is king, it's probably rare to hear a singer being dubbed the walking CD. But Diamond Zhang is just such a person who has strict requirements for his live singing skills. In this solo performance, you can hear that she has improved a lot in the past two years, such as her low-throat performance, which is obviously much easier to handle, and the high-pitched closing after a long time is also more stable than two years ago, whether it is the wide range of "cool" or the high-tempo "dyeing". Torn "Live sound is the same as CD sound.

However, it is still not enough for Diamond to restore CD sound quality on site. For a long time, many people have misunderstood the skill of singing as pure singing technology, but forgot that the real skill of singing should integrate the skill with emotion, personality and music sense. It's like she always pays homage to a solo Jacky Cheung with Eason Chan "Is the goal of her art.

As she performed in the field of "Torn", "ROCK", "hope", the sudden burst of power is unlike any studio production. And the greatest charm of the scene comes from the improvisational inspiration, the emotional delivery, the rough edges with the temperature, but with the unknowable, real and touching attraction. Perhaps because of this, the LIVE album recording the "aurora" concert is also made into an open, authentic recording of the lack of beauty in the performance, real reproduction of her sound, emotion and body temperature, no matter it is her recording of others or her own original works.

Reality is the most striking power of this era -- for example, her new album "see and not see" written by her grandfather, which has her as a simple and ordinary person Donnie Yen The family. The show and TheNutcracker, which she also wrote herself, had musical elements she loved that conflicted with drama. What she wrote to herself and sang to herself was her most essential and authentic side.

Likewise, this is where the appeal of the general public is most striking in this age of traffic. The beautiful song never need too much whitewashing, just do themselves, slowly and gradually, and ride the wind, like her magnetic sound line, thick and firm.
