the less soul-like album from the Soulboy , this album has more flavor of Blues and Folk music , Khalil learnt and picked up many licks from famous pieces . Do not forget that Khalil was self-taught to be a musician , as what the cover of the album showed , most of his albums' drum , guitar&bass and keyboard instrumental were done by himself , at least he was huge part of it
abuse of time for listeners . abuse of time and work for the collaborators , abuse of your fame Kanye . not your priviledge to do this , if all your former pieces were ghost-written and this is the only thing you can self-produced , then what I said was nothing
performance art is neither PERFORMANCE nor ART
How do you define theft ? What is the point of signing your name at the credit though there was nothing to be produced actually , as a protest it could be an announcement on paper , if you want me to treat this as music then you get a 0
the band's comeback is with some Earth,Wind and Fire reminisence , voicing not that clicky as before . Also some soulful features added up to their collaboration , in both smoothy way and swingy way
isn't this title chinese character?
//I suddenly remembered that Mr.Nozuka is with some Japanese descent , so it might not be 'Chinese' character , and he's fine to use that
not a good sign ... really below average production . Some magic seemed lost without using those typical sample packages , the modulation of synths not RAGE enough , and mixing just not fitting in .
/p.s. someone remind me of the conceptualization , I think it is even worse ... I mean what's your purpose to construct a project from this point of view ?
fusionistic , constructed from a modern rock album outline , infused with folk melodies , with jazz instrumental intertwined . From the easy-listening-ness and the content included I could say it is the album of the KMA2025
BAD!
should not release these if you are ambitious about your name credited for BAD! songs
the most completely blended / fusionistic album of Khalil Fong , from the albums before this , he was more likely trying to imitate and pay tribute to the classic soul pieces , melodically and instrumentally . But in this album , he managed to simplify the chords progression , constructing songs only by adding up patterns , which also happened a lot in his albums after this . Khalil Fong still provided some melodic hits like '特别的人' , at this transistion of his career
it is actually fine to explore something new , by the way I donnot remember how it felt to listen to them when I was younger ... being mean should not be a way of getting praised , hate the community being this way
most unexpected ever ... never thought that kickbass could be used as a lead-in this way
Should I say disappointing? ... Been listening to Saya Gray since her last several experimental projects , pretty impressive for me that time . But I re-listened to those days before this release , the Grays absolutely kept those producing techniques , and their former projects sounded more experimental because they were highly fragmental , glitch-y , not song-like . When Saya set down to write some lyrics to form a song , I think this would happen sometime , that this project just sounded like ... read more
The chinese comments are still debating whether the producer should be considered rapper or not . From my point of view , the musicality construction in this project is more similar to <肥瘦音乐FakeSoul Music> of Dizkar , the producer made tribute and transcription to Boney M.'s 'Sunny' in track2 : 'Clouds' , exactly the same way Major Yao and Dizkar did in 肥瘦音乐 , taking the familiar melody to his own production . Some tricksters compared his being in ... read more
same guitar sample in 'CBZ' to KISSOFLIFE's 'Bad News' , but this one has more texture i favor , might because of the faster tempo and plugins . However , using the same sample still bores me . By the way track3 has the most MIDI-like instrumental i've heard recently , only if it was part of the retro concept
From what I witness here in CN , I considered the existence of 时代少年团Teens In Times to be a SOCIAL EXPERIMENTA . Productionally speaking there is no big faults about their production , and they often collaborate with some 'highly-praised' produce-ers from arranging , mastering&mixing and etc. Like SBMS(Speedbumps Music Studio) ,Watersound Studio , youcan see these names a lot from the Chinese credits . But the point is , they also buy off accomplished songs just like ... read more
above average OPUSCULUM .Recently alternative R&Bs have been kinda flop-py after several disappointing releases , Christian's comeback sounds different alot from his last collaboration with Braxton Cook , back to how we love alternative R&Bs .
