Brando wasn't optimistic about Beichen, but out of a sense of customer supremacy, he agreed anyway.
Garnier laughed heartily: "Thanks, brother. As for how powerful these Kyushu people are, we'll have to wait and see."
With the good news brought by Garnier, Beichen also began to make preparations.
Soon after, Brando picked up the microphone: "Ladies and gentlemen, today we have friends from Kyushu who have come all the way here to showcase their electronic music. Let's give them a warm welcome!"
However, the atmosphere at the scene was not as enthusiastic as expected, and it was like a stagnant pool.
"It's okay, I'm here to cheer you on!" Lu Jiuning said, raising his fist.
This reminded Bei Chen of the first song, "Ugly Monster," when no one believed in him, only Lu Jiuning cheered him on.
History always repeats itself in such an astonishing way.
After touching Lu Jiuning's hair, Bei Chen walked step by step towards the stage.
That time, Bei Chen was filled with anger.
This time, Bei Chen came with the intention of conquest.
He took out a USB drive containing instrumental tracks for songs that Bei Chen had prepared for opening the Beehive Bar overseas.
All of them were carefully selected, and each one has its own unique charm.
Song: "Cradles"
Singer: Bei Chen
Lyrics and music by Bei Chen
(Actually, it comes from Sub Urban, a promising young alternative singer from the United States!)
This time, Bei Chen did not intend to use the nickname "Mr. Mask" to hide himself.
Since I no longer need a mask to hide myself, I might as well sing a good song.
As the spotlight shone on Bei Chen, the song began!
The moment you hear it!
A cacophony of malfunctioning bass effects swept in.
This approach quickly creates a strong sense of distortion, swiftly drawing the listener into a depressing and gloomy atmosphere.
Using such a melodic foundation is especially rare.
However, it was precisely this unconventional prelude that elicited a reaction from the customers present.
"Shh, keep it down, this intro is pretty novel, give it a listen!"
"I've listened to a lot of electronic music, but this is the first time I've tried this genre. Let's give it a listen!"
"This Kyushu person might bring some surprises..."
Many songs, you can tell whether they have anything to offer just from the intro.
The reason why "Cradles" was able to garner 1 billion views on TikTok in its previous life in 2021 is because it captivates listeners from the very first note.
At the 12-second mark, the heavy drumbeat appeared, simultaneously introducing Bei Chen's singing:
"I live inside my own world of make - believe"
(I live in a fictional world that I have imagined.)
“Kids screaming in their cradles profanities”
(The babies in the cradle are crying so loudly, it's really annoying.)
"see the world through eyes covered in ink and bleach"
(The world I see is only black and white)
"..."
Bei Chen sang in a hoarse voice.
His singing voice is full of hesitation, and on the already unique accompaniment base, he blends in a heavy-hearted monologue.
Surprisingly, the melancholic voice and the accompaniment didn't feel out of place at all.
The heavy bass drum sound, as if imitating a human heartbeat, combined with Bei Chen's melodious singing, created an indescribable feeling of tightness in the listener's heart.
It seems like there's something hidden inside that they have to say.
The audience fell completely silent; they were all captivated.
The gentleman holding the glass and the beautiful woman who was talking eloquently both stopped talking at this moment and sat quietly in place.
Even the waiters carrying the drinks slowed down, afraid to make too much noise for fear of disturbing the performers on stage.
They were captivated by the singing and the melody.
“Fire 's spreading all around my room”
(The fire spread in my room)
My world's so bright.
(My world suddenly became so bright)
"' s hard to breathe but that ' s alright"
(Although it's a little difficult to breathe, it's okay.)
“Hush sh”
(Quiet)
The original heavy bass glitch effect disappeared, and instead, a large number of crisp, percussive samples were used as the base melody to enhance the song's rhythm.
The singing also became softer and deeper.
It seems they want to use this brief moment of tranquility to welcome something.
Sure enough, after the "Hush sh" boos, a unique interlude followed.
The crisp sound of the music box, combined with the heavy, slow bass drum, creates a very striking contrast.
The interlude instantly exudes a sense of coldness and an ever-present sense of absurdity.
Not to mention that ordinary customers had never heard such an interlude before, even the locally well-known DJ Brando was encountering such a melody for the first time.
Someone actually incorporated music box melodies into electronic music—that's incredibly bold and unique!
Brando, who had previously underestimated Beichen, now put aside his contempt.
He could already sense something different in the song.
Listen carefully, and you'll hear trilled sounds and hissing sounds added to the melody of the music box.
