Adore Jay Chou 's musical paranoia
The person who had the greatest influence on Liu Haolin's early creative style was Jay Chou. Because of his similar voice and singing, his previous songs were published by pirates as Jay Chou's works.
Because of his admiration of Jay Chou, Liu Haolin in junior high school felt that "music creation" only needs to study Jay Chou's songs, figure out his spiritual content, and proceed under his pattern and framework.
At that time, he thought that writing songs was easy, but later found that the creation of this model did not think about how to improve his songwriting skills, so he was unable to follow up.
Since 2005, he has locked himself at home and spent several years teaching himself music theory, musical instruments, orchestration, harmonics and other related knowledge of music creation. He also began to try to contact different types of music, and no longer set limits on himself.
In 2006, Liu Haolin wrote "Lonely Child", which is his first creation in the strict sense. At that time, he sealed up a very bright room in his home into a small dark room, because he believed that making music was accompanied by loneliness.
So he stayed up late in this little dark room, watching movies, listening to old songs, and spending every day in the interweaving of self-affirmation and self-denial. As a result, he wrote the song "Lonely Child", which expresses that period of complete self-isolation.
recalled his early creative years. Although he was a little green and lacking in spirituality, Liu Haolin felt that that was his state at that time.
mentioned his own paranoia, Liu Haolin said with a smile:
"The friends I have come into contact with, who are from the academic school, they compose and arrange music are meticulous and productive. They may not need to be emotional when creating, because they can rely on theory and experience. But When I first started writing songs, it was mostly done by feel.Looking back on the works at that stage now, although it seems naive, the style of music made at that time reflects the most real state of the present. "
In 2012, Liu Haolin stood on the stage of the first season of "The Voice of China", not only soaring high-pitched with Jike Junyi , but also singing Rap, it seems difficult to talk about him at that time and now holding a guitar It is even more difficult to see that this is a singer who is deeply influenced by Jay Chou's music.
Xingzhou Music Review: Throughout the Chinese music scene, there are many musicians influenced by Jay Chou, Liu Haolin can sing Jay Chou-style songs, And the sounds are very similar. is easy to imitate, but the soul cannot be copied. It took a long time for Liu Haolin to get out of the traces of imitation, expand the style of songs he writes and sing, and form a personal style with strong characteristics.
4 After several attempts,
finally found the right location for
"The Voice of China", which made Liu Haolin "fire". He gradually stood in front of the stage and became known to everyone. This opportunity in the music career has not only changed Liu Haolin's life, but also It gave him and his family a lot of encouragement. The problems that
could follow made Liu Haolin feel frustrated. He was arranged by the company to receive many "hilarious" commercial performances, singing miscellaneous songs, and traveled all over the country. Large and small counties and prefecture-level cities.
Liu Haolin found that they didn't want to hear me sing, but just wanted to watch "The Voice of China", join in the fun, and draw a fresh . That time not only consumed Liu Haolin's energy God, it also made him lose the joy of singing. For more than two years after
, he couldn't write anything, didn't know what to express, and didn't want to express,
"At that time, I was a little disappointed about singing, Without music in the heart, there is no music in the hands.
The encouragement of his family allowed him to slowly pass through that period of depression. Listening to his early creations and ignoring the impetuousness after a little achievement, Liu Haolin realized that creation only needs to truly sing his own things. After
experienced self-isolation in the early stage of creation and the frustration of commercial performances, Liu Haolin gradually realized that the music at each stage of actually only represented the concept at that time, and the current style of folk songs is only his current . And he I don’t want to blindly form a certain style, and I don’t want to be surrounded by what I like at the moment like in the past.
Until Liu Haolin started working with lyricist Tang Yingfeng, Liu Haolin’s music bottleneck period was over.
"Meet Tang Yingfeng12 Years, he was more like a friend than a relative, and he dragged me unhurriedly. "He would listen to various styles of music with me and study how to write songs with me." Liu Haolin said, "When I collaborated with him on "Childhood", I was pleasantly surprised by myself. "Childhood" is based on a There are only 5 Hexuans in the main project of Xuan. It is very simple, but it really moved me.”
In 2014, Liu Haolin and Tang Yingfeng founded Kuyusi Music Studio in Beijing together, the meaning of the name is The original intention of "a shop selling dried fish" was to create some textured music.
During this period, Liu Haolin's music creation moved closer to a more independent style. In 2016, with the successive releases of "Childhood" and "Landing Guy", this young man with outstanding creative talent returned to people's field of vision with a musical style that was very different from the past.
In 2017, Liu Haolin released his first physical album "Dried Fish Shop". Liu Haolin said:
"The album "Dried Fish Shop" reflects his truest state and restores the first feeling of the work.
Liu Haolin is very satisfied with his current living state.He found like-minded music partners in Beijing, founded a music studio, and found a lover who supported his music career.
Nowadays, Liu Haolin doesn't want to participate in music programs anymore. He said, "I just want to sing simply now." Jay Chou, Liu Haolin finally found his own music style, plain but full of surprises. In the Chinese music scene, independent and original musicians like Liu Haolin have increasingly become an important force in the Chinese music scene. The cultural value and economic value of original music are closely intertwined. We also sincerely hope that more Liu Haolin will emerge in the future. In the Chinese music scene, make an effort for the colorful music scene.
