In just three days, Yan Zi’s digital album “Saying Goodbye” sold over 200,000 copies.
At the same time, it entered the top 30 of Yunsheng's weekly new song chart on Monday, and was ranked 24th as soon as it entered the chart. I believe it will soon enter the top 20.
It also entered the top 50 in the BGM hot song rankings that all have short videos. The lyrics "I pretended not to see, but found that I couldn't do it." "I said goodbye and found that I would never see each other again. Can I just hold back the tears?" and "My hands can't forget the warmth of your hands. My heart is broken and I can't get back the heartbeat I had before." These lyrics frequently appear in various emotional videos as BGM.
Some music reviews from professional music critics have also come out.
There are praises.
"This is a rare masterpiece in recent years. Many people say that the record market has withered and is slowly dying. I cannot deny this statement, but music has not withered and will not die."
"Today's pop music is spreading in a new way. Many songs can become popular with just one catchy lyric or melody. But this popularity is unhealthy. Many people only know one or two lyrics and don't even know the name of the song."
"Even if you play the first half of the song for them, they don't know what song it is until the chorus comes on and then they suddenly realize, oh, this is the song."
"But this song 'Saying Goodbye' is different. It's a highly complete piece of work. From the buildup at the beginning to the emotional ferment at the end, everything happens naturally. I even feel that this song can't be separated from any of the lyrics in it. It's not like those internet-famous songs that only have a chorus to them."
Of course there are also criticisms.
"It's a good song, but I feel that the singer Yan Zi's voice is too clear, which makes me only hear the sadness in this sad song without feeling the pain."
"For example, the opening line about fallen leaves drifting on the lake, asleep, actually gave me the feeling that the leaves were about to wake up. Overall, the singer's vocals need to improve, otherwise it would be a demerit for such an excellent song."
"If I were to give it a score, I would give it 8.5 for the lyrics and music, but I would subtract 1 point for the singer's performance. In the end, it's about 7.5. If you are short of songs or have similar emotional experiences, you can go and listen to it."
You should know that music critics and film critics in this world need to register. If you are not registered, you can only be called an ordinary listener or audience. Once you are registered, you can be called a professional music critic or film critic.
If a music critic or film critic is found to have accepted bribes and written reviews against his or her conscience, not only will his or her qualifications as a music critic be permanently revoked, he or she may even face administrative penalties, and in serious cases, criminal liability may be pursued.
So music critics here can praise a song to the heavens or criticize it to the ground based on their own subjective will, but if you are paid to do so, the consequences will be very serious. Therefore, the reviews of most professional music critics and film critics are very valuable for reference.
Most music critics gave Yan Zi's song a high score of over 8 points. Even a few critics felt that the song was above the passing line.
Among all the music critics' comments, the most popular ones are those by professional music critic and composer Zhou Tianhua.
That’s right, it was Zhou Tianhua who originally wrote “One-Winged Butterfly” for Yan Zi but had it later returned.
"To be honest, before I heard this song, I was quite disdainful of it."
"Why? Because Yan Zi's agent is an old friend of mine. She once called me to arrange a song. I gave her one of my latest songs. But after a weekend, she came back and said sorry, she couldn't use my song this time."
"Many songwriters have encountered this kind of thing. If it was a song written by a colleague or senior, I think it would be understandable, after all, it was a new artist's first single album. But my friend actually said that this new singer wrote the lyrics and music himself over the weekend."
"They say intellectuals look down on each other. I was thinking, 'What ignorant youngster is this who dares to look down on me like this?' When the song comes out, I'll criticize her to pieces."
"After I listened to it for the first time, I didn't seem to find anything obvious to criticize. So I listened to it a second time, a third time, and a fourth time."
"I finally found it."
"I found myself crying, and I found myself feeling empty inside. I found myself not even saying goodbye to the girl who used to love singing and laughing."
"When I reviewed a song in the past, I would analyze it from every aspect, including the composition and arrangement, the rhythm of the lyrics, and the singer's voice, timbre, singing skills, and emotions."
"But today I realized that all that's bullshit. When a song truly touches your heart, reminds you of someone, and brings you to tears, it's a good song."
"I'm very grateful to the singer Yan Zi for choosing the song 'Saying Goodbye' instead of my song 'One-Winged Butterfly'."
"At the same time, after listening to this song, I also gained a lot of feelings and inspiration. I rewrote "One-Winged Butterfly", and I personally feel that this version is more sincere and heartfelt than the last one. If possible, I hope to collaborate with singer Yan Zi again on this new song of mine, "One-Winged Butterfly". @Yan Zi"
The comment section below was also bustling with activity.
"Thirty-year-old man Zhou Tianhua, large and really fragrant, hahaha."
"Let's be honest. If Lao Zhou hadn't revealed this himself, we wouldn't have known that the song he was asked to sing was rejected. Lao Zhou is a very honest person."
