Album information for the music mix

Introduction

Hu Yanbin's third album "MuSiC Hybrid" was released simultaneously across Asia on August 25, 2004!

The album is based on rock and roll, mixing British rock, hip-hop, rap rhythms, fashionable electronics, etc., as well as a re-arranged R&B version of "My Future is Not a Dream", which is bound to set off a new wave of mashup music. !

All the possibilities and impossibilities of music, commercial and non-commercial spirits, stand together.

How can you only listen to music in one way when the chaos of cross-border music is settling down? When the chaotic tide of music rose, Hu Yanbin, a naughty boy who played all kinds of dazzling and difficult music skills in the waves, sent the most refreshing set of MUSIC mixed drinks in the cool summer of 2004, "MuSiC Mixture".

Similar to surfing in the ocean, no matter how the environment changes, you should always be the one who cannot be impressed. The music scene is changing so fast that no one knows what the latest, coolest, and most popular music is. No matter how the tide changes, Hu Yanbin dares to play with various musical forms at the palm of his hand, and just creates a series of beautiful combinations by himself.

"My Future Is Not a Dream", the first of the group of "MuSiC hybrids" prepared by Black Pine Beverage spokesperson Hu Yanbin, is like Black Pine Deep Sea Water FIN, an old song that Zhang Yusheng sang famous more than ten years ago. It is a deep water flow that has circulated in the ocean for a long time. Once it is manipulated by Hu Yanbin's skillful hands, it becomes active again. The refreshing instrumentation and clean voice blend Yusheng's high pitch and sharpness into the joy of chasing dreams on a sunny beach. As the advertising song for the "Black Pine" series of beverages, Hu Yanbin uses his own voice to interpret the meaning of "Dreams and Happiness".

Hu Yanbin, who has grown to 20 years old, may be able to try more than before. He used to use music to make sweet soft drinks, but this time he wants to add more powerful elements to his music. Rock, this powerful form of music, is also his current favorite. Just like the different feelings of the first three bites of black pine root beer, there are also three very special rock songs in Hu Yanbin's new album. Hu Yanbin's 2004 Asian Cup theme song "Declaration" is a mouthful, with "a unique taste and an extraordinary refreshing taste", which made all fans burst out with passionate shouts and power at the scene. He shouted " "Young people are crazy about love, and my words are the most arrogant." Could it be that he wanted the tens of thousands of people in the finals to create a wave of people for him to attack?

If "manifesto" is the first taste, then "can't help" and "just do it" as coined by famous poet Yao Qian are two tasters with a different flavor. After "Declaration" makes your blood flow backwards, "Can't help it" and "Just do it" control the rate of your heartbeat again. From "cool and refreshing, cooling my heart" to "soothing my body and mind, the more I drink, the more I want to drink, and I can't stop drinking" is just like the gradual feeling of listening to these refreshing works. Both songs have a very British rhyme and rhythm. Hu Yanbin hummed in English and the DEMO had been put on hold for several months but he had no words to fill it. If Yao Qian hadn't come up with the pen to help, he might have had to wait until he released an English album. Opportunity included. The Chinese words fit perfectly in such a British rhythm. Every word is really perfect and perfect.

Of course, if the whole album is hardcore, you will inevitably sweat too much after listening to it, and of course there will be refreshing tea to cool you down. The theme song "Beautiful Beauty" and another song "Waiting For You" from "Legend of Jing Ke" can be regarded as real black pine tea. The former is about making tea and wiping swords while chatting and laughing about the hero's no regrets and the beauty's disputes, just like a cup, sipping slowly. The fragrance of Kung Fu tea fills the lips and teeth; the latter is rose tea in a crystal cup. The emotions in the song are like the petals in the cup sinking and floating in the water, swirling and spinning, drawing out the traceless track of love.

The most popular summer drink for girls is the beauty drink. Black Pine has fiber juice, and Hu Yanbin has "I Wanna Be" specially made for Maybelline New York. If it is like the lyrics, In this way, after use, "the eyes are as transparent as rainbows after the rain, and the eyelashes and birds want to come and stop." Such a SEXY transformation, it is estimated that many beauties need to listen to it religiously several times every day like morning bells and evening drums.

If drinking alone is a bit boring, Hu Yanbin finally prepared two cups of black pine nut with different fruit flavors for you, "One person... two people", a dance music style that has never been tried before. In this work, you can choose how many people will drink a cup of "one person...two people" when you are handed a drink at a hot dance party.

During the final finishing work of the album, there was a big "internal strife" within the record company staff. It turned out that the company wanted this new album to bring everyone a different audio-visual experience, especially for the album. Two different CD and poster covers were designed for the album, which were chosen by the staff. But when everyone saw these two designs, the staff immediately divided into two groups, respectively supporting these two different design plans. Seeing this situation, in order not to delay the normal release plan of Hu Yanbin Records in August, but also in order to After a broader understanding of the fans' thoughts, the company finally decided to let the fans make the final judgment. Because Hu Yanbin has received the greatest support from fans in the past, the cover selected by them will definitely be the cover that everyone is most satisfied with.

Both these two styles are derived from the latest European and American design concepts this year. They are intended to express Hu Yanbin’s endless youthful vitality and creative talent, and highlight Hu Yanbin’s musical transformation from a boy to a man.

Hu Yanbin’s “MuSiC hybrid” is like a large refrigerator filled with delicious drinks. Open it and choose. If it’s hard to choose, then take it home quickly. There are ten flavors to choose from. You'll have a great time this summer!

I am very happy that this song can be recognized by the vast majority of people."

After the passionate European Cup, the Asian Cup is about to start in Beijing. Works by Hu Yanbin He stood out among many artists and sang the Chinese and English theme songs of the Asian Cup. As the world's number one sport, football is a symbol and testimony of passion, sweat and muscle. Hu Yanbin's performance in "Manifesto" also changed from his past delicate and elegant style. His singing voice is very masculine and sexy. It is the first time I have heard it. It was completely unimaginable that such a passionate singing was actually performed by a weak boy in his 20s.

3. The ending theme song "Beauty" created for the large-scale historical TV series "Jing Ke Assassins Qin"

This drama is a famous historical drama co-starring Liu Ye, Qu Ying and other popular film and television artists. The story of Jing Ke's assassination of Qin, the ending song "Beautiful Beauty" sung by Hu Yanbin did not focus on the heroic feats of the first assassin in history, but quietly slipped into the heart of this strongest and resolute man, to discover the resolute appearance. The small piece of soft field under the sun is the secret destination of the hero at sunset. It is the only tenderness of the iron man. Such a feeling is all poured into the song "Beautiful Beauty". Swords and wine are tasteless. Drinking a cup is Who...

4. The first activity theme song "I Wanner Be" in Asia by an internationally renowned cosmetics brand.

This is the first time that an internationally renowned cosmetics brand has entered the Chinese market.

In just two years, he has become a popular creative king throughout Asia. Both albums have sold over 250,000 genuine copies, are famous musicians in the Asian music scene, have music brand guarantees, and are constantly invited to sing by big names... Hu Yanbin's rapid popularity and record sales that have become popular in the recession are undoubtedly the best in recent years. A legend in the mainland record market.

He attended the Conservatory of Music in middle school and began to learn vocals, formed a band and became a popular figure on campus. He got his first guitar at the age of 15 and started composing. At the age of 16, he participated in the Asian Music Festival and won the "Most Potential Singer" Newcomer Award. , so he was signed by a record company, released/produced his first album at the age of only 18, and was successfully loved by music fans and recognized by musicians.

It can be said that Hu Yanbin is born to make music! Powerful singer Su Yongkang said, "I remember Huang Zhanyu lamented in the album 20 years ago, why there is no Michael Jackson among the 1 billion Chinese, but 20 years later, there is an 18-year-old Hu Yanbin today. Uncle Zhan's expectations are just around the corner!" Well-known Hong Kong musician --Lei Songde even described him as "A natural bone singer!"

Music mixture: this time playing Rock!

The young Hu Yanbin is like a hyperactive child. He is never willing to let go of any new things on the music road. His first album "Civil and Military" attracted attention with its smooth R&B. His second album "Civil and Military" attracted attention. The upgraded version of "Shuangquan" is based on R&B, which is good at, and incorporates elements of Hip-Hop and Rap. He is like young people today: changeable, fickle, fun-loving, but also very good at playing music.

In the summer of 2004, Hu Yanbin, who had just turned 20, released his third album "MUSIC Hybrid", and "Rock" was the new toy in the hands of the music prodigy. When we asked Hu Yanbin what was his creative idea for this album? He replied with a hint of shyness but also a hint of confidence: "If you are not willing to be restrained, then come and listen to me! I think I can satisfy you."

Decadent rock hit "Can't Help It"< /p>

The first wave of hits, "Can't Help It", is a slightly decadent rock song with a heavy guitar part, plus bass and drums. Hu Yanbin called it "a masterpiece of rock and roll." After completing the composition and arrangement, he liked the British rock melody very much and couldn't help but fill in two versions of the lyrics, but he still felt that his words could not match the music. When he was worried that there were no suitable lyrics to complement a good song, he thought of Brother Qian (Yao Qian) whom he had met because of his cooperation with Elva in the past. Unexpectedly, as soon as the song came into Brother Qian's hands, it immediately turned from a difficult production to a finished product. , Hu Yanbin shouted happily: "Brother Qian's lyrics are so emotional when sung!"

Infatuated rock recommendation "Waiting For You"

Renewal of love contract Xiaofeng, AKen has a poignant ending, and another popular rock love song "Waiting For You", which is paired with the Korean drama My Gangster Girlfriend and is highly popular, expresses Hu Yanbin's other thoughts on rock: Does rock have to be angry? The answer is not necessarily. He believes that rock music can also be sweet and romantic. The arrangement of this lyrical rock piece was specially produced in Korea. The chorus uses acoustic guitar as the main melody, which sounds quite comfortable.

In order to match the infatuated atmosphere of the whole song, the record company specially invited a screenwriter to extend the plot of the popular idol drama Love Contract and bring the love story of Xiaofeng and Ken to a poignant end. The ending of the MV is like a modern version of Romeo and Juliet. Ariel Ariel, who plays Xiao Feng, thinks this song is so soulful! Although the drama has been completed for two months, as long as the music of "Waiting For You" is played at the filming site, she seems to be Xiaofeng in the love contract again! No wonder she says that beautiful songs can put people into the mood better than acting classes. Although He Junxiang (Xiao Mei), who plays Ken, suffered a lot in the MV, from drowning while swimming to being beaten by gangsters, he was still very excited to shoot the MV for "Waiting For You" because The singer, Hu Yanbin, is only 20 years old like himself, and he can do all the lyrics, music, and arrangement. In his eyes, Hu Yanbin is simply the same creative genius as Jay Chou! Yichen specially described this collaboration as "Triple Lucky": Hu Yanbin is so lucky to have such a creative talent, music fans are so lucky to hear Hu Yanbin's creations, Yichen and Xiaomei are so lucky to be able to play Hu Yanbin MV!

Youth Rock Classic "My Future Is Not a Dream"

As a musician, Hu Yanbin certainly has people he admires in music. Among Taiwanese artists, in addition to Mayday and Chang Chen-yue, who are about the same age as him, , Huang Lixing and others, Zhang Yusheng, an early young creative representative, is also his eternal idol. By chance, he finally had the opportunity to re-arrange and sing Zhang Yusheng's famous song "My Future Is Not a Dream" in this album. "I think this song is influential to people born in the 1970s, and as a person born in the 1980s, I want to use a different way to illustrate this spirit." He said seriously. For this reason, Hu Yanbin tried nearly 20 different arrangements. The one he finally chose to include in the album was the R&B version that he believed best expressed the song's freedom and skillful transposition skills. I believe that Hu Yanbin has heard of it. Everyone who works on this song is looking forward to this R&B song "My Future Is Not a Dream".

A mixture of images: punk + British rock

In order to match the music style and highlight the spirit of Rock, this time the hairstylist specially added shoulder-length hair to Hu Yanbin. Use a jagged wolf cut to create a layered look, and the long black hair that follows the clip has a punkish and unruly look.

Hu Yanbin, who usually likes to read Japanese fashion magazines and has recently become obsessed with British rock style, also has great ideas for this look. He volunteered to wear "clothes with a bit of an old feel". The stylist also helped him prepare two sets of clothing that met his requirements.

One set is a plain white shirt with a black vest underneath, paired with a pair of second-hand jeans with fine textures. The slight snagging and holes give it a rocker-like decadence. The other set is mainly black, with sleeveless punk style shirts. The cold tone of the whole body is black, and the elegant and exquisite pins set off the gorgeous and decadent feeling of "can't help it".

The photographer used a lot of music elements when shooting the cover, projecting pictures of ancient radios and mixers onto him, and even specially found a fiery red guitar for him to bring into the shot. The director even specially created a gorgeous 3D banquet set for him that was comparable to the movie Van Helsing, allowing Hu Yanbin, holding a flaming red guitar, to rock 'n roll in the retro banquet hall. From hairstyle, styling, photography, to MV, all ideas revolve around the album's main theme "Rock".

Positioning hybrid: no matter what you say, I just do myself!

As for the future and music, the young Hu Yanbin still has a lot he wants to try. There are many elements that have not been played yet, and there are many musicians that have not yet been collaborated with. However, what is the next dream of this "youngest producer in history"? "I want to make a female singer!" Hu Yanbin said that the reason for making a girl is that he wants her to try musical directions that he, as a boy, cannot achieve. As for this female singer, she will be a newcomer, preferably with a small stature and a powerful voice. At present, he is still looking for his musical destiny.

Many people are curious: How does it feel to have such great success at such a young age? "For music, I definitely put in 100% effort, although my music may not be 100%." ??Hu Yanbin answered. No matter what the outside world thinks of him, he believes that he just tries his best to do what he wants to do.

He doesn’t feel particularly pressured by the media calling him “Little Tao Zhe.” “I have to remember my own way. As long as the music is what I like, that’s it!”
