If the first group of people who bought the album were fans of Moonlight Girl, or because they trusted the quality of the album, then as music reviews and netizen comments gradually came out, more and more people wanted to buy the album.
Liu Xihe took off her headphones at this time, and based on her thoughts after listening to the song, she gave a digital album to everyone in her studio without hesitation.
"Sister, so generous?" the agent asked in surprise.
"Don't think I don't know that you've always liked their songs," Liu Xihe smiled and said, "Okay, let's go listen to their songs after work!"
For her, she prefers Blackface's albums to Redface's because Blackface's songs are very rhythmic, especially after listening to "Havana" and then "Nobody", she feels like she can immediately rush out to the street and run a thousand meters.
After listening to "look what you made me do" again, Liu Xihe felt that he could go to Paris to walk the runway.
However, Liu Xihe and Yue Shao are not from the same company. Even if she likes this album very much, she can't post on Weibo to promote it.
But it’s different for those music critics who specialize in this field. Of course, they will rush to release such a popular album and strive to be the first to try it out.
Lao Hei, a venomous music critic, has always been contemptuous of traffic singers. Although Moonlight Girls never claim to be traffic stars, their traffic is indeed very high.
Yue Shao’s first two albums did not receive particularly high praise from him, so many fans will pay attention to his feedback this time as soon as possible.
After all, there are too many people praising Moonlight Girl, and a different opinion is more eye-catching.
When I saw the news about Moonlight Girl's new album, I immediately logged in and bought it. Then I realized, wasn't my behavior just like a fan? I have to say, Mr. Zhou's marketing skills are amazing.
[Speaking of music itself, I used to criticize Chow Yun Fat for being too stingy, not including new songs in his albums. How is that any different from a greatest hits compilation? Maybe Chow Yun Fat finally heard me. This time, he actually released an album with new songs.]
The concept of a red and black album is pretty good for both languages, but it's not fresh enough. I listened to the red side first, and aside from the two older songs "Strange Beauty" and "Blue and White Porcelain," the four newer songs are all good.
[Both songs "Both Boredom" and "Stillness" have a rock vibe, and I'm really looking forward to their live performances.]
"Dama Dan" and "Chinese Language" are both traditional Chinese-style songs. I had never imagined a girl group could combine this style with traditional Chinese music. How should I put it? They're very fresh and eye-opening. Personally, I prefer these two songs; they've shown me the musical styles that domestic girl groups should learn from and adopt.
[I won't comment on Blackface. I haven't done much research on English music. I imagine that since this new album is being released globally, international music critics will likely rate it, right? If you're interested, you can check it out by going over the Great Firewall.]
[Finally, out of 10, I'd give Red Noodle a 9, with 1 point being room for improvement.]
Zhou Yiyang naturally also saw this Weibo post. Of course, he did not search for it on his own initiative, but someone sent him a screenshot.
"Mr. Zhou, I didn't expect Lao Hei to give such a high score of nine." Bai Yangyu knew Lao Hei and naturally knew how difficult it was for him to get nine points.
"Really?" Zhou Yiyang was a little surprised himself: "Nine points is so rare, I thought he gave this score to everyone!"
"That's not the case," Bai Yangyu suddenly laughed. "He only gave Luo Chen's album a five-point score before, and he said it was because of the songs you, Mr. Zhou, wrote for him."
Of course the fans are happy. Even a sharp-tongued music critic like Lao Hei gave such a high score, which means that the reputation of this album will definitely not be bad.
Although listening to music is a very personal matter, for fans, high scores also mean that they can produce evidence when they quarrel in the fan circle.
Tang Yue was also reading Lao Hei's music review at the moment. After reading it, he was reminded by Lao Hei and looked directly at Lin Xuan'er beside him: "Xuan'er, let's stop practicing for now and take a break."
Lin Xuan'er, who was standing in front of the mirror, had to stop and turned around to ask, "What happened?"
"Let's take a look at the reviews online. Aren't there a lot of music review agencies out there? Let's see how high our score is!"
"It's not just institutions," Su Yin, who had already learned from netizens, said, "There's also a website that specifically collects these music reviews and calculates an average score. And this website is very prestigious, and almost all awards use it as a reference."
"So impressive?" Wang Xingrui said in surprise. "Then why didn't our previous album get any points? Just because we didn't have any English songs?"
"That's not the case. Logically speaking, they will count any albums in any language as long as they have scores. It's just that the scoring organizations and magazines they recognize generally don't review Chinese albums." Su Yin continued to read the comments, and suddenly felt that their fans knew a lot of things.
"Hey," Lin Xuan'er also became curious: "What about this time's 'The Red and the Black'? Will there be a rating?"
Tang Yue had already climbed over the firewall to access the external network and opened this website by the way.
What she didn't expect was that when she entered the English name of "The Red and the Black", she actually saw the exclusive page and score.
"75 points, it should be out of 100. Is this score high?" Tang Yue still recognized numbers and asked immediately.
"It seems quite high," Wang Xingrui also checked. "Online, they say a pop album with a score of 60 or above is considered good. And the quality of music reviews has nothing to do with the commercial performance of the album. There are many albums with scores of 30 or 40 that have won the annual sales championship. And the more organizations that review, the lower the score will be. How many organizations are giving us scores now?"
Tang Yue immediately clicked on it and took a look, then shook her head. "Not many, just three. Let me translate the page... The first one is a Washington newspaper. They gave us four stars. I wonder what that translates to. They said this is a dance album destined to go down in history? How could they not give it five stars with such a high rating?"
"There were two other media outlets, both of which seemed to be from England. Their reviews all thought our album was surprisingly good. I suspect the points were deducted because they didn't understand Chinese."
Su Yin hummed. "I think it's better to focus on sales than on vague music reviews. Anyway, we're unlikely to participate in international awards."
