Li Keqin’s new song “The Perfect Breakup” is not a typical love song. Because in any way, it is significantly different from the popular ballet love songs on the market.Analyzing its essence, this song has two significant characteristics:First, this song follows the partnership model after “You Are My Big Star.” After a brief collaboration with Hanggai Band, Li Keqin and Alan jointly performed this time; The second is to leave aside the blessing of the creative level, as their singing styles both coincide with each other, and due to their tacit understanding in singing, they lead to a good song that has a more delicate and rich listening sense.
Therefore, although Li Keqin is singing with Tibetan singer Alain for the first time, the structure and emotions of the entire song are smooth and coherent.
Returning to the singer, Li Keqin and Alan both belong to the powerful Vocal faction, with a strong focus on baritone. The former is comparable to the sound quality of a CD, exquisite and tender; The latter has excellent voice conditions, clear and high-pitched, as well as a locally grown temperament.
“The Most Perfect Breakup” clearly captures their unique qualities, embellishing the elements of Chinese style with popular and Western music concepts. The orchestration ranges from Chinese style erhu to Western musical instruments, piano, and string music, all of which are integrated with musical elements. Driven by the production level of Fusion, the combination of Alan and Li Keqin is another fusion of Tibetan and Cantonese singers in the field of humanistic singing.
For them, this sense of adaptation does not seek the integration of Art Pop and New Age, nor does it attempt to forcibly join the vast musical ambitions, even if these can expand the conclusion of “great love” from a dimension; The rare and valuable thing is that Li Keqin and Alan understand the balance of their singing – combining their own musical attributes, adding a strong ethnic style and traditional instrumental music decorations, and smoothly developing the east-west urban tone and Ethno Pop style pop music in the exquisite voice.
Simply listening to this song “The Perfect Breakup”, you will feel that the texture of this song has approached a “perfect” love song.
In the creative level of this song “The Most Perfect Breakup,” there is some revelation——
Li Cong’s lyrics: “Perhaps, we should be friends again. When love comes to an end, letting go is sometimes more touching than sticking to it…” tells the emotional story of a city man and woman on their journey from meeting and knowing each other to falling in love and leaving each other in a simple and understandable way, with love from nothing to something, and finally from something to nothing. Restrain cruelty, but the inner emotional resonance is ordinary and gradual. Feng Hanming’s songs and arrangements capture the atmosphere in the lyrics, tap into the effectiveness of musical instruments, and lay out the details layer upon layer.
All of these have created more ample space for singing, and the duet between Li Keqin and Alan has also broken the established routine of traditional male and female love songs.
From the beginning of the main song, it directly enters the chorus section, and until the chorus is separately divided into words and sung solo. The intersection of voices perfectly combines a love song about the theme of the Capital Games with traditional instrumental music, and their singing creates a flowing and free beauty.
Among them, the part of Alan is really surprising!
Although working with Li Keqin as a help singer on the song “The Perfect Breakup,” Alan’s singing is definitely the most indispensable part of the song.
First of all, the voice is clear. As Li Keqin’s chosen partner this time, she has a balanced output of singing skills, and has improved emotionally compared to before. The combination of her and Li Keqin is a strong alliance, but there is no competition. Therefore, it is not difficult to see the complementation of harmony and timbre when listening to “The Most Perfect Breakup”. The two people completed this perfect match through the interweaving of solo or antithetical singing as the song progressed.
Secondly, she is also a role player in the story, both in the MV and music parts, showing her own emotional changes, set off in the form of music. After all, if you want a love song to achieve emotional integration, you need to meet it more by singing in pairs.
Overall, in this song, Alan’s singing is a plus. Although not completely allowing the audience to see the characteristics of her high pitch, the underlying advantage of her middle pitch has given the song more possibilities, especially the part of the national voice that runs through many emotional lines.
