Chapter 831: Rock Hits the Heart
At 8 PM, the new song "Take Me Home,
Country Roads" was released.
For American netizens, this was undoubtedly a song that could excite them.
Miss Luo Quan rarely added place names in her songs; coming out with this suddenly was indeed a pleasant surprise.
This feeling, in the eyes of Chinese people, was like an international superstar singing a Chinese-style song, and there was a specific place name in the lyrics.
Just thinking about it felt very prestigious.
And the song itself was also pleasant to listen to and catchy.
After several consecutive days of "big fish and meat," suddenly having such a small, fresh song, the effect achieved was even higher than expected.
On the international version of Douyin, which is TikTok, a large number of short videos had already started using this track as BGM.
In this era, evaluating whether a song is popular or not depends on whether it has flooded these short video platforms.
Although everyone says Douyin ruins songs, its user base is indeed huge.
If it can flood the screen on this, it's no exaggeration to say it's popular all over the internet.
As for TikTok, it is also an app with explosive popularity worldwide.
Among young people, its influence is even more explosive than old-school social software like Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.
Relying on this platform, TikTok has made quite a few songs popular.
And Miss Luo Quan's new song and it could be considered as mutually boosting each other's popularity.
Miss Luo Quan herself was happy to see it happen; why not take the free traffic?
As for ruining songs, that problem indeed exists, but it's about the same when a song first becomes popular—you can hear it everywhere.
But after this wave passes, other songs will immediately replace it.
Just because it appears more frequently, it definitely won't ruin the song.
Of course, if it's randomly modified and edited, turning a perfectly good song into a DJ version, that is definitely ruining the song.
When Miss Luo Quan encounters this situation, she usually reports it and contacts the official authorities for processing at the first opportunity.
After the sixth song was released, there were four songs left. Miss Luo Quan didn't intend to tease the fans' appetites one song a day anymore, announcing that three new songs would be released tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow would be the last song of the album.
Four songs in two days, and the release of the last song wouldn't be at 8 PM the day after tomorrow, but at midnight.
That is to say, all four would be released within four hours, letting the fans listen to their heart's content all at once.
Once this news came out, the fans' mouths were about to split from smiling.
"This isn't even 'diarrhea-style' updates anymore."
"Luo Bao is still fierce; once the heat is right, she puts everything in the pot."
"Others release one by one to maintain popularity, Luo Bao says I don't need to."
"Really looking forward to it, feels like I can party all night just listening to songs tomorrow night."
"Same feeling, hope there will be a few more classic masterpieces."
"If it were someone else, I would say don't push your luck, after all, a person's talent is limited, but since the object is Miss Luo Quan, I just want to say please increase the intensity."
"Luo Bao: Are you being polite?"
………………
Seeing the fans so excited, Miss Luo Quan also closed her phone with a smile.
She had been producing the songs intermittently over the past few days; when she announced the new album, she had given him the rap lyrics for a male-female duet, telling him to practice well.
The "American Phoenix Legend" was also considered a household name abroad, and the few duet songs the two had were all existence that dominated the rap charts.
As for the stage video of the siblings performing together, the click-through rate on YouTube was also very high, all over 300 million.
The only pity was that the quantity was really too small; wanting to see the two perform together once was harder than ascending to heaven.
The good news was that this time on the new album, one could hear a new song from the American Phoenix Legend, and fans of the two in America had started to celebrate wildly.
Although he hadn't sung rap for a while, Xiang Miss Luo Quan's title as the "Little King of Rap" wasn't just for show.
During the recording the next day, there weren't too many problems, and everything went relatively smoothly.
It's just that after Xiang Miss Luo Quan finished singing, he felt his throat was a bit uncomfortable.
After all, he hadn't practiced for too long, so he was somewhat rusty, and to ensure quality, he had squeezed his throat a little.
But at least he got the song done.
"Little brother, practicing Wu Gong is certainly important, but you can't let your old profession fall behind; rap will also regress if you don't practice."
After recording the song, Miss Luo Quan teased Xiang Miss Luo Quan.
"This is an accidental situation, I haven't sung for too long so my breath is a bit weak."
Xiang Miss Luo Quan waved his hand to explain, and asked his sister: "I will pay attention in the future, but I probably won't be singing again in the short term."
Miss Luo Quan shook her head: "I don't have any more here, see if your company has any arrangements."
"There are no arrangements at Seifert's; he said he could give me a long vacation after I won Best Actor."
Xiang Miss Luo Quan said and chuckled.
After he debuted, his pace of taking on announcements had basically never stopped.
He was either making money or making a name for himself.
At first, he was indeed quite tireless, but after a long time, he would still feel a bit bored and exhausted.
Having continued for so many years, Xiang Miss Luo Quan felt it was indeed time to give himself a good vacation.
And he hadn't been doing nothing during this time; wasn't he still practicing Wu Gong?
Once he achieved great success in the future, maybe he could become an action superstar when he returned to Hollywood.
Thinking of this, Xiang Miss Luo Quan couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Miss Luo Quan didn't know what her brother had thought of to be smiling like this.
Shaking her head, she sat down at the computer and started producing the song she had just recorded…………
In the evening, three new songs were released almost simultaneously.
The special reminder ringtones set by countless fans rang three times, making their bodies shake, as if they had heard the horn of attack.
They scrambled to click into the music app, tapped Miss Luo Quan's avatar, and saw three new songs appearing in the playlist.
"I Need a Doctor"
"Hallelujah"
"What Do You Want From Me"
The first song was typical of the American Phoenix Legend style.
Xiang Miss Luo Quan's cool rap with a hint of swagger, plus Miss Luo Quan's moving voice, just combined together, was already very good to listen to.
Not to mention the song's melody and the flow of the rap part were also so excellent.
It belonged to being another classic.
And the second song's title sounded like a prayer in religion; from here, one could know the overall style of the song.
And the fact was indeed so; the song had quite a few religious elements, and compared to that previous "Take Me to Church," it was only more, not less.
The monologue at the beginning of the song by Miss Luo Quan was quite novel; there was no melody, but just her clear timbre was enough to make people feel refreshed.
And the chorus part only had one line of lyrics, but it was the essence of the whole song.
With Miss Luo Quan's voice as the main, and several other female voices as auxiliary, the singing formed gave people a feeling of a choir.
A sacred aura suddenly rushed toward them.
Such an ingenious song with quality that was outrageously high.
It couldn't just be counted as a classic; calling it a work handed down through the ages wouldn't be an exaggeration.
Even the official account of the American Catholic Association forwarded this song at the first opportunity, praising Miss Luo Quan's talent and piety.
This behavior made Miss Luo Quan feel quite laughing and crying.
Although the religious meaning of this song was indeed very strong, it wasn't surprising that it was liked by religious people.
But she didn't believe in religion, and writing such a song had nothing to do with being pious or not.
Can only say this association was a bit self-indulgent.
However, Miss Luo Quan was too lazy to specifically post an update to tell everyone she didn't believe in religion; she would just mention it during the livestream in the future, no need to be so serious.
As for the third song, which was the second to last of the album, it was the one Miss Luo Quan recorded the most arduously.
She usually passed in one take for previous songs, but this song was recorded four times in total.
The first three times were all forced to start over because of significant flaws.
No way, the original singer of this song, Adam Lambert, was truly too top-tier.
His singing skill is recognized as the ceiling among living pop singers.
Talent, technique, and timbre are all top-tier; there is almost no difference between live and studio recording, and just talking about singing skill, there are almost no shortcomings.
Although Miss Luo Quan's singing skill attribute is currently SS, it is still a bit worse compared to this great god.
In the end, it was only after redeeming his character binding card that she finally had the confidence to interpret Adam's signature song.
Although this song doesn't sound fast, the difficulty isn't very high.
But that's only for laymen.
Once you really open your mouth to sing, you know how high its pitch is.
And there is a long, outrageous high-pitched true voice articulation in the chorus part, the interval for breathing is very short, and an ordinary person would probably suffocate just singing two lines.
Miss Luo Quan also re-sang it three times, and the problem also appeared here, until the fourth time she finally solved it.
Of course, because Adam's singing method is scientific, Miss Luo Quan didn't have any discomfort in her throat after singing.
It was mainly because her own foundation was relatively good; even singing Adam's song, she could hold it.
Of course, if she sang too much, it wouldn't necessarily be the case.
In short, this song might not be as strong as the previous ones in terms of musicality, but in terms of singing difficulty, it is definitely a unique existence.
After the song was released, a female singer in China directly posted on Weibo:
"Good heavens, is this song something a human can sing?"
Below the Weibo, the playback link for "What Do You Want From Me" was attached.
Very clearly, because the singing skill Miss Luo Quan showed in this song was truly too shocking, it made the whole internet forget that she still had one song not released, and they were all enthusiastically discussing this song.
The editor-in-chief of *Rolling Stone* magazine quickly wrote a draft, "Ultimate Singing Skill."
The draft evaluated Miss Luo Quan's singing skill like this:
"After several years of precipitation, Miss Luo Quan has finally washed away the lead, elevating her already gifted vocal conditions to the realm of returning to simplicity, and also added techniques that ordinary singers couldn't possess even after decades of hard practice.
Shortening decades into a few years is a manifestation of talent, but it is also a manifestation of her hard work.
In this song, Miss Luo Quan's high-pitched voice with metallic texture doesn't feel abrupt at all, because she started from a very high tone at the beginning of the song, so the sudden rise in the chorus is logical.
And the high-pitched shouting at the end of the song once again vividly demonstrated her wide vocal range.
Most singers singing to D5, their expressions are already ferocious, their limbs are already twisted, and their voices are already torn; the sound is sung up, but it looks truly painful.
And Miss Luo Quan's voice sounds so concentrated and full, without any distortion due to the sound being too high.
I think her expression and body at that time should also be quite calm; after all, as the most beautiful in the world, one can imagine she wouldn't let such a posture appear on herself.
In short, this song is a watershed in Miss Luo Quan's career as a singer.
Starting from today, her singing skill has successfully advanced from world-class to ceiling-level, and there are already very few people qualified to compare with her.
Before, she was always busy filming movies and fighting in the ring; the industry was originally quite worried that she would neglect her singing practice.
Now thinking about it, it was completely worrying about nothing.
Miss Luo Quan's professionalism and talent should never be questioned!"
This high-quality "rainbow fart" (flattery) received quite high likes at home and abroad after it was posted.
As an authoritative music magazine, *Rolling Stone* was the first time using such mushy words to praise a master.
Even when Miss Luo Quan won the title of the "Greatest Singer in the New World," *Rolling Stone* magazine only praised her unparalleled talent, and the wording wasn't as mushy as this time.
It was probably because the singing skill Miss Luo Quan showed was truly too outrageous, making the editor-in-chief listen until he was high, so he wrote such a highly subjective draft.
But very clearly, everyone agreed with all the advantages of Miss Luo Quan mentioned in the draft.
Whether the singing skill is top-tier or not, you can know after listening to the song.
A song with a melody that isn't that excellent, yet so durable and pleasant to listen to, 90% of the reason is that the singer's singing skill played a positive role.
Therefore, the fans' exclamation and love didn't need to be concealed.
And when Miss Luo Quan saw these people blowing her up, her face was also as bright as a flower.
This has always been her pleasure.
In Maslow's hierarchy of needs, the second layer is being recognized and praised by others, which is the need for respect.
Although it can't compare to the highest level of self-actualization, even so, it already made her feel very cool.
And after the heat of this song slightly eased, the fans raised a question one after another:
That is, what about rock?
You have to know that Miss Luo Quan has written numerous rock works that can be called immortal masterpieces.
And until now, there hasn't been a shadow of a rock song in the "Women's Decathlon" album.
Although some songs in the album have more or less rock elements, they are ultimately not pure rock.
Miss Luo Quan knows exactly what the fans want.
And as the most popular and influential music style in the second half of the last century, rock should not be absent no matter what.
So this last song must be a rock song.
And only rock can touch the heart the most.
As time gradually approached midnight, no fans went to ask Miss Luo Quan what this song was anymore.
Soon, all the mysteries were finally revealed.
The final song title appeared at the top of Miss Luo Quan's main page:
"Bohemian Rhapsody" ===== CHAPTER 832 =====
