Recently, the shortlist for the 28th Golden Melody Awards was announced. Zhang Yusheng 's name appeared among the names of singers. The Golden Melody Awards will award him the "Special Contribution Award". This year marks the 20th anniversary of Zhang Yusheng’s death. Although he has left us, his music has been sung to this day.
His apprentice Zhang Huimei later also posted on Weibo: "It is never too late for your glory, as eternal as your music."
As one of the most influential Chinese music circles in the 1980s, Zhang Yusheng, what is he? What's so great about it?
"The Sea" " My future is not a dream " " Miss you every day " " The fish swimming all day long "... These songs can probably be passed down for a lifetime, right? Today, many contestants and well-known singers are still covering these songs. The most important thing is that they will never feel outdated no matter when and where they are placed. Are there any singers whose songs can be loved by people of all ages for a lifetime? Zhang Yusheng is probably one of the few.
In terms of arrangement and knowledge and understanding of music, Zhang Yusheng is so advanced that people can’t help but admire him. Many people say that Zhang Yusheng's "Karaoke·Taipei·Me" album is 20 years ahead of Chinese music. Its genre spans hardrock, rb, classical and other music styles. The entire album's songs were composed by Zhang Yusheng and were performed in a band live format. It also created the longest album in Taiwan's pop music industry (the entire album is about 69 minutes long). The album
is a "concept album" that is popular among singers nowadays. Although not many people listened to those songs at the time, if they were published now, they would definitely surprise the public.
Generally speaking, singers who write good songs will be slightly inferior in singing skills, but not Zhang Yusheng. His clear voice is an innate talent, but what is rare is that his voice is also very stable when singing high notes, which can be heard in many of his songs.
There was a classic scene where Zhang Yusheng and Lin Zhixuan sang high notes to each other on the show. From it, you can also hear that Zhang Yusheng's high notes are indeed outstanding.
The most valuable thing about Zhang Yusheng’s songs is that they are full of rich humanistic color. For example, "How I Want It" is about abused children, "The Elegy of Animals" is about stray animals, "The Street Chief of Yonggong Street" is about old people living alone, and " China from the bottom of my heart" is sung to China.
Li Jian , who became popular on " I am a singer ", is actually because he has humanistic care in every song selection. However, there are too few singers like this, which makes us even more regretful of Zhang Yusheng's departure.
Everyone knows that Zhang Yusheng is the noble man who single-handedly made Zhang Huimei famous. Without Zhang Yusheng, there would be no today's diva Amei . Zhang Huimei's first two albums "Sisters" and "Bad Boy" were produced by Zhang Yusheng. In addition to lyrical slow songs such as "Cut Love" and "Relief", Zhang Yusheng created wild dance music for Zhang Huimei, which also made her lively and sexy. The character is shown vividly.
Judging from the song "Sisters", Zhang Yusheng made this song very fashionable, and added ethnic style into it, which is very suitable for Zhang Huimei, who is an Amis, and makes people want to dance along after listening to it. impulse.
Zhang Yusheng's death is a pity for the entire Chinese music world. It takes no telling how many years it will take for such a genius to appear. If he could live to this day, what would be the situation of Chinese pop music?
