is four years away from the previous album. Looking through the autumn water, Lin Youjia released his fifth album "Today in Business" in 2016. Of course there are changes. In addition to Lin Youjia’s two songs, I personally think that it’s worth noting that this album did not have Wang Zhiping’s participation, so compared to this album, it can be said that Lin Youjia himself thinks more. What is the effect?
Let’s talk about the song sequence as usual: "Let the world destroy", "Innocent and evil", "Bad and worse", "Blood Rogue", "I already dared to miss you", "A little bit", "Fly", " "Dreaming about you dreaming of me", "Still Open After 10 PM", "Day of the Moon", "Beloved", "Don't Forget You", "Off, Do Not Disturb". Among them, "Still Open After 10 PM" and "Off, Do Not Disturb" were designed for the album's cutscenes and demos, and also echoed the album name.
's opening "Let the World Destroy" is a pleasant surprise. The prelude is as magnificent as a meteor falling and exploding, then slowly rises up in the ruins and ashes, and then enters the main song. The picture is full.
The guitar is like a ray of light in the dark, so Yoga's voice moves slowly along with it. Others, whether it is a piano or a synthesizer, are like dust flying along the way. After the rush of Pre-Chorus... this occlusal of lyrics and composition makes the song very compact, and from the second time the drum in this place is pushed forward, as if the footsteps are getting heavier and heavier, especially before the chorus That fragmentation creates a running atmosphere. Arrangement is a plus. The singing method of the chorus of
gave me a feeling of Whatever, "It’s like this anyway, there’s no way to save anything." That kind of aimless and a little incompetent shouting, I think this choice of song It's a match. But I think the chorus harmony can be layered a little bit more so that when returning from the vortex created by the electrons in the bridge, the last chorus that connects can be more contrasting, but the overall flaw is not concealed.

The main lyrical "Innocent and Evil" is one of the only two compositions of Lin Youjia's album. Frankly speaking, I was surprised by Lin Youjia's lyrical song which is mainly vocal. The lineup can actually invite Huang Weiwen, Arai Eleven, and Zhao Zhao to make this song. They have such high standards at the beginning of the creation, and the treatment is good.
also, although it is only a lyrical song based on singing, this pattern is not simple at all. The piano and strings at the beginning are beautiful and full of storytelling. For the first time, Pre-Chorus started to include the guitar. The plucking is too gentle, the second time I used the drum kit to exchange it without losing its style, and it also allowed the two choruses to gradually increase in strength. For the last chorus, it’s not uncommon to find time to accompany it again, but the turbulent technique is indeed very effective.
Huang Weiwen's lyrics also fit well, and it can even be said to be a bridge between arrangement and music. In the case of easy-to-understand vocabulary, the golden sentences are also endless, with both depth and expression. I feel that Huang Weiwen's words to Lin Youjia are becoming more and more sincere, and the next song can also testify to this.

As Lin Youjia’s first Cantonese song: "Bad and Worse", the team is also very Hong Kong-style. It can be seen that it is not a ticket. The biggest gimmick is undoubtedly the producer Eason Chan, but don’t worry. , And there is no shadow of Eason Chan. In this regard, Lin Youjia has long since got rid of the previous album.
I like Huang Weiwen's poem so much, I encourage people pessimistically, and don't give up the choice even if the choice is bad. I have heard that some people in Hong Kong also resonate with this phrase because of the current situation, and realized that it can be applied to so many occasions.
The opening guitar is bleak and the topic is a bit disappointing. Even with the addition of drums, the whole song is still dark and sad, but I think this drumming is very important, and it affects the first chorus of the chorus, but the chorus is supplemented by strings. The whole atmosphere is like stopping and sighing deeply, and then slowly trying to comfort myself, the first paragraph is created so that it makes people gloomy.
The bridge through the wind music is attractive to Lin Youjia’s interpretation of the last chorus. The beginning of the almost a cappella makes the false sound the cleanest in this song at this moment. The second sentence "If you don't choose / you will be assigned" "Assign", follow the drum to pull out a wave of force I really like (this sentence is also my favorite sentence of this song). I didn't use too much effort at the end to keep the whole song in the same situation, I think it was a good grip.

"Hot-blooded Rogue" sounds not passionate at all. I don’t know if it’s because of the production or actually the song. I don’t know it very well, but whether it’s "Wo oh oh" or the "Rogue" at the end of the chorus. It sounds weak and incompetent (it may be due to a slippery relationship.), making even the drum feel all for blood and blood, and the feeling of sorrow is a bit of a shell but no soul.
Therefore, Lin Xi's words are also a little bit awkward, not to mention that there are two good words by Huang Weiwen that have been used for comparison, which pales in comparison.
, on the contrary, "I Dare to Miss You" is a very interesting single, worthy of this powerful band. I think it’s not a complete description. It presents a very comfortable posture. Guitar, bass, drums, piano and vocals are all stacking up their own music styles, all in this piece of music. Blended properly, and then embellished by a little harmony. Then you are surrounded by all sides, and you are surprised to appreciate which side is enjoyable. You can enjoy the enjoyment of each musician, and then whisper: "This is the music."
is very light but very delicate presentation , Against each other, the first chorus left enough space for Lin Youjia's voice to express cleanly. At the end, Lin Youjia also faded out and let the piano be a beautiful Solo to finish. And Chen Xinyan also continued to make good use of his love lyrics style, writing feelings in the most simple words, making people feel the most empathetic, making this meticulous arrangement closer to the audience, and he does not deny that he is really the best in this way.

I think it’s very interesting that the concepts of these five songs are actually very consistent. They all have a negative and pessimistic attitude to transform and encourage oneself-"It doesn’t matter to be a useless person/ but it’s back to the original point. ”, “Suddenly understand that selfishness is not too much / better than self-immolation for you”, “I choose a minor injury to be smarter”, “Failure is too happy / say Hi to it vigorously”, “I am at peace with my memories/ not boneless Do not remember / do not force to forget". (Suddenly it seems that the "hot-blooded rascal" is also a little uncomfortable at this moment?)
I don't know if it is deliberately arranged or I am born to make up for it, but I personally like to read it this way, and it happens to be half of the album.
is followed by Lin Youjia’s last composition from the album: "A Little Bit". Still really feel a little bit. First of all, I think the arrangement is very good. There is a little warm gleam slowly passing through the clouds and through the window, but it is like a pale green psychedelic like hitting the lake water and then fainting. The fast-forward fantasy and gorgeous colors, with a fresh and refined literary atmosphere (not to mention Qingfeng's words.).
But that’s it. Personally, I think it’s a good ending to control the whole song to about four minutes. It’s a bit of a fascinating feeling that is enough to make people aftertaste, so I think the last chorus is really added a bit reluctant There is no strong turning point. It may be that I am afraid of destroying the atmosphere, but I can't scratch it.

Frankly I’m a little disappointed, because the two songs written by Lin Youjia on this album are not as good as the previous works, even he married Chen Shanni and Lu Kaitong’s "As Sadness Has Been Downloaded Twice", " "Leave a second" is even more personal than these two songs. Perhaps playing these two cards is a little too safe. (But at least fortunately, I didn’t turn into a full album in one breath. There are too many lessons for singers who hang up before finishing the album.)
Inspirational songs are easy to format, and if you want to be exciting, you don’t need too many tricks. . "Fly" is a very pure and powerful representative-gentle guitar, pure voice, sincere melody, and non-appearance lyrics, very healing and convincing.
Listening carefully, I can feel the musical instruments and human voices bring out each other. You can feel the intensity of the guitar every time, and Lin Youjia's mood fluctuates with the melody, with penetrating power under the simple soundtrack. In particular, the word "flying" in the chorus is easily engrossed, like lyrics, bumps like just learning to fly, and the situation is in place.
, relatively speaking, does require a little concentration to taste, it is a single that is so light that it is easy to be skipped if you listen to it. At first, I thought this song should be at the end of the album. It was really comfortable. I could get some positive energy from this song, but it was true after hearing it...
"I dreamed of you dreaming of me Continuing the atmosphere of "Flying", it is actually a bit awkward in comparison, because I like the arrangement of "Flying", and I feel that the arrangement of "I Dreamed of You Dreamed of Me" is a bit normal.
But the arrangement is gradual, like the feeling of gradually changing from black and white to color. The silent participation of one by one musical instrument actually sounds very smooth. So I think there are audience preferences that are the opposite of mine, so...choose one of the two? I still like the melody of the chorus.
BTW, the ending is very fast and coupled with that sigh, it really feels like waking up from a big dream.

"Still Open After 10 PM", the light sketch does not mean it is over.
kicked off again. "Day and Moon" is definitely the single most easy to grab ears on the album. I think the main reason is that Lin Youjia's tone is quite consistent with the whole song.
I like the mixed electronic elements and drums, which make the whole song more speedy. I like the main song to be low and heavy; the strong and light force makes the whole span of scale more prominent. I like Pre -Chorus’s transfiguration that breaks through the cocoon, with a little extravagant finishing touch, I really like the song to move forward and retract neatly, as well as the burst and convergence of high and low sounds. My favorite is probably the last chorus Lin Yujia A little wild voice, cold but high-pitched.
I also like this very artistic song title, but I think the lyrics are a bit more repetitive, which is a bit disappointing, but in fact, that loop has already followed High and it doesn’t matter. I think the guitars in some places can be better introduced, but the overall flaws are not concealed, and it still sounds very cool.

"Favorite" tune is as beautiful and gentle as its title, so strings and piano are naturally the most competent green leaves, highlighting Lin Youjia's voice, which is of course the most worth listening to this song.
You can hear Lin Youjia ride the chord's bass in the main song, and then start to climb step by step, and you can also hear the delicate processing of the tail sound in the chorus. The resonance between Bridge and the strings is also a nice little excitement. There are also a few transvoices that I like to use in this album, but the penetrating and unclear voice continues to interpret that "Beautiful Love" is the most memorable place. It is not too clean but rather clean. More sincere.
Therefore, I think this song should be the best love song in the album, because you don't have to listen too carefully, you can hear the lyrical appeal of this song and stop listening. The ending of the album
is ended by the Mandarin version of "Bad and Worse"-"Don't Forget You". It is replaced with Shi Rencheng's words which are more straightforward. In fact, this word is a bit of Ashin's style.
Although there are several instrument changes in the arrangement (guitar to piano), there is not much difference in the arrangement. On the contrary, Lin Youjia’s performance is different. For example, "Don’t forget you" is more straightforward. The second chorus has a true tone instead of a false tone; "Bad and Worse" is more introverted, so there is a more attractive ending treatment in the last paragraph.
Which is better? It's like you like to eat pasta or row meals. The shop is about to close. Choose the meaning of which word you like and listen to which one touches your heartstrings more.
「Off,Do Not Disturb", it’s private time now, but the welcome wall has ears. Some footsteps, tuning and some daily sounds, and then the prelude began to come out. In fact, it is the piano demo version of "Fei", but the lyrics is Lin Youjia's version, another self-enhancing angle. In the album of
, it is obvious that Lin Youjia’s singing skills have improved to a higher level. Technically, several transpositions and tail processing are very meticulous and even beautiful to a bit inconceivable. The emotional control is also very effective. Controlling from strength is quite effective. This album is mostly lyrical, and his voice has changed in different places, enough to support the stage.
But relatively speaking, Lin Youjia’s madness and madness in the past has not been shown in this album, but this is more related to the direction of the song selection. Fortunately, there are still one or two songs that can quench your thirst.
And perhaps I have to admit that "The Wonderful Life" is a towering wall that is difficult to cross. The album of "Opening Today" may not be as smooth as it, but after carefully chewing each single, you can still hear the production intentions. Not sloppy.
Frankly speaking, I give a good evaluation of Lin Youjia’s attempt at this album. This is the first time he has left Wang Zhiping to produce an entire album. It is also an album with very few of Huayan’s own team. It is actually a great breakthrough and level. Well, I personally am quite happy to see the future development, especially seeing that Lin Youjia is willing to recruit more various musicians to cooperate with, and the musicians who have been recruited have indeed delivered good works and sparked good sparks. More importantly Yes, he knows what kind of song to work with with what kind of people.
BTW, the song copywriting of this album really made me admire the songwriter Chen Xinyan more and more. He made the concept of the song more simple and easy to see, which would make the audience chew the song better. I am also more and more curious about his love life, how every time the lyrics are written like personal experience.
