The fusion band's new album "If the Future" in 2008 has been listed in shock! !

Senior musician, the only student in mainland Jonathan Lee who signed a contract.

TIZZY BAC, created by the Royal Producer of Wang Fu.

Zhang Zhenyue and "123" hot dogs.

..... support the original, support peace. ...

Album introduction:

Fusion,1Four boys born in 1985, from Shanghai. When they were in college, they participated in a band competition and were attracted by Jonathan Lee, a judge. They immediately became the only artist group in mainland China whose brother signed a contract. At the end of 2006, Fusion joined Shen Ya Music and became the younger brother of original artists such as A Niu, Tanya Chua and Yang Naiwen.

In the first week of 2008, they released their first album "If the Future".

"If the Future" contains 1 1 songs composed by Fusion, and the song "123" composed by Zhang Zhenyue+Hot Dog +Fusion is equally amazing.

Pop+rock elements have always been the mainstay of young music. However, the Chinese music scene often lacks atmospheric works. The arrangement is too heavy, the rock atmosphere is certain, or the melody itself is not easy to remember and popular ... There are countless insurmountable talent limits, but we rarely see hope in a group of new people and their young creations. I believe this is also the reason why Big Brother first saw them.

Fusion's songs are simple and easy to remember, and the lyrics are straightforward, without any affectation, just a youthful and heroic look, confident and casual. The tone of their music is young and full of energy. Even a moment of sadness and occasional hesitation will not hide their golden light shining like the sun at eight or nine o'clock. All this is hard to refuse.

In this album, in addition to the name of Big Brother, Hot Dog, and the famous producers Lin Huibin and Cai who won the Taiwan Golden Melody Award and made the album for TIZZYBAC, they also became the dazzling names behind this album. In fact, the two producers once said seriously that if they didn't listen to this song at that time, they wouldn't take over the production easily. Now there are new bands every day, but few people want to make music. It was Fusion's music that moved them. Speaking of Zhang Zhenyue and hot dogs, they are very popular names now, and it is really rare to invite them to join hands to support them.

"Never-ending music fireworks change your youth" —— Can this sentence printed on the cover of Fusion album be realized?

The mantra: Ha! Funny! Integration was formally established in June 5438 +2004 10;

In April 2004, he participated in the "Master Kong Li Bing Pioneer Band Trial" and entered the East China Division with the second place in Shanghai;

In May 2004, he participated in the rematch of the Master Kong Li Bing Pioneer Band Selection Competition and won the best lead singer, best original and rematch champion.

In July 2005, he became a contracted artist of Jonathan Lee Focus Music Production Company;

In August, 2006, he represented China in the first Guangju Youth Music Festival, entered the top 10 among many international bands, and won the most potential band award in the finals.

From June 5, 2006 to 10, he was the guest of the world concert tour in Jonathan Lee.

In June 2006, he signed a contract with Shen Ya Music Company.

Special guest of TIZZY BAC Beijing Performance Station in July 2007;

June 5438 +2008 10, the first album "If the Future" was released. Playing in a band is very handsome.

"In fact, at that time, we didn't understand anything, just watching people play bands was very handsome. ..... We sang pop songs from the beginning, which is nothing to be ashamed of. Nice melody. We also participated in the variety singing program of Shanghai TV Station at that time. "

The process of integration into the army is simple. Guitarist Dong Min and lead singer Sun Quan were deskmates in middle school. At that time, I just thought it was cool to play music and guitar, and then I thought of forming a band. But two people are not enough. Damin immediately thought of his younger brother Xiaojie, who doesn't like to talk, is often distracted and indulges in the game world every day. Xiaojie is a game maniac. At that time, he just fell in love with a drum game and played it well. It is said that he is the first in all game records in the game hall near their home. When mom really bought a set of drums for Xiaojie, Dong's living room naturally became the band's first "rehearsal room".

The world of three people changed forever. Every day after school, they go home to practice and often rehearse until the early hours of the morning; In summer, in order not to disturb the neighbors, no matter how hot the weather is, they never open the window; At that time, Sun Quan's family was far away, and every rehearsal would be delayed for two or three hours on the road ... At that time, the experience at the beginning of the group inspired them so far that they had the confidence to challenge together no matter what difficulties they encountered.

That is, at the beginning of the group, Dong Min gave the band a very meaningful name "Fusion"-"We not only integrated various musical styles, but also the band was a fusion of different personalities among members ..."

☆ Thanks to B.I.Z☆ ☆ ☆

What brings fusion closer to their musical ideal is a band competition. At that time, fusion was only established for half a year. In their words, "the technology was bad at that time, so it doesn't matter."

They were less than 18 years old when they participated in the "Master Kong Pioneer on Ice" competition. This is also their first time on stage. In fact, at that time, fusion was well-known in Shanghai's underground music circle, but it was also controversial. At that time, they were playing pop punk, and people around them would always say that they were "not rock enough, too popular and too poor in technology", but fusion never paid much attention to these. "You are different from others, everyone should discuss. It's nothing. We will insist on making our music and will not care what others think. "

Every time I tell this story again, fusion will never forget to thank the friends who encouraged them at that time. Especially since then, friendship has been established until today's B.I.Z

"When we participated in the competition, everyone didn't think highly of us. Everyone thinks how can a band with such poor skills succeed? There was only B.I.Z They also took part in the competition. They have been encouraging us to ignore these. As long as we stand on the stage, we must do our best. "

So they succeeded.

☆ Brother Jonathan Lee asked us whether we should continue to make music ☆.

In that band competition, fusion finally won in East China. Although I didn't win the championship in the final finals, this achievement was completely unimaginable in the past. It was this competition that won them the favor of Judge Jonathan Lee at that time. They got the opportunity to come to Beijing to record songs in Big Brother's studio.

The recording ended in chaos. Because although they are on the stage, fusion has revealed that they belong to the stage, and the recording studio is the most important place to test their basic skills.

"I didn't know that drumming should follow the metronome until I entered the shed, but I have never seen what a metronome is. I used to practice on DVD ... "I couldn't keep up with the rhythm, missed the key point, played it wrong, and played it carelessly ... When I entered the recording studio, Fusion discovered that music was far from being as simple as playing the game" Drum Machine ".

Although the experience of entering the shed for the first time was terrible, Brother Jonathan Lee said to them, "If you want to continue making music, go back and practice your basic skills and come to me when you are finished."

☆ The first album was born ☆.

Back in Shanghai, fusion experienced a brief low tide.

"In fact, there were many choices at that time, but we all felt that we still had to choose music."

Fusion said, I thought a lot at that time. I started to form a band just for fun, but after playing, I found that I couldn't stop playing. But if you want to continue playing, you need more strength and efforts.

However, this process of thinking will soon bear fruit-try your best and move forward together. At this time, the joining of new member Tao Tao also made the fusion group burn again. Tao Tao was a famous "maverick" bass player in Shanghai underground music circle at that time. He began to play bass at the age of thirteen, with an uninhibited appearance, but a calm and independent personality. His joining has perfected fusion's lineup.

One year after the band competition, when the fusion quartet once again found their mentor, Big Brother Jonathan Lee, and entered Big Brother's recording studio in Beijing, their young faces became more confident and they brought their own songs.

Big brother is satisfied this time. After that, it went through a long but happy process from entering the shed to finally releasing the first album. Fusion has made rapid progress in this process, from a passionate young man who loves music to a real musician.

Now, look at this "if the future" in your hand. Behind it is a young band that is not hard but young and inspirational. Just like a cartoon of youthful blood, four teenagers who are full of music and dreams, step by step, with their own efforts, succeed bit by bit.

They declared with practical actions that as long as they dare to pursue their own ideals, they will succeed. Audition of album songs:

☆ The first title song "I really want to tell you"

I really want to tell you that it is the first title song of this album. Although integration is full of personality elements, there is often a mysterious connection between personality and purity of heart. It is for this reason that I chose this song as the first title song of the whole album.

This is really an honest and pure song, and the lyrics are all those common worries. However, melody and lyrics, including arrangement, are rare and simple atmosphere, which is not common among new creators.

The chorus's phrase "I've always wanted to tell you so much" will definitely impress all those who have heard it, just like their own voice. How can such a simple melody be sung to their hearts at once?

☆ The second largest "123"

Who can invite Zhang Zhenyue and MC Hot Dog to appear together in a song?

Appearing in "123", everyone will be surprised to think that this is a newcomer. But what needs to be mentioned in particular is that you can't say "sure", but it should be considered strong.

Excellent producers like Lin Huibin and Cai can be invited to this album. They decided to go out after hearing fusion songs, and they didn't just appear. This album is full of friendship and mutual appreciation.

The rhythm of "123" is neither urgent nor slow. With Zhang Zhenyue's songs and the wonderful lyrics of hot dogs, we can know the sincerity of this support at will. "I washed all the instant noodles and found that I am not very hungry ... Your question is wrapped around my head, wrapped around ...", fusion wrote his own words just right, and the young people are at a loss about life but full of yearning for everything. Just one or two sentences are enough to arouse people's resonance.

☆ The third title song "Running in Summer"

Running in Summer is a fast song, which seems to be the most obvious personality characteristic of fusion. Start with the first note and attack your auditory nerve.

The voice of the lead singer is very special, and the singing method is also unusual. It can be said that his talent in singing is rare in young bands. In "Running in Summer", his voice expresses the unique fearless self-confidence and casual vividness of young people. This is a song belonging to teenagers, and the impulse and blood of youth are all publicized in this song. Fusion (fusion)

Since the late 1960s, the word Fuson has been used casually, which is almost meaningless. Fusion's original definition is the best: combining jazz improvisation with the power and rhythm of rock and roll. It was not until 1967 left that the world of jazz and rock began to split completely. However, when rock and roll began to be more creative and their musical skills improved, when some jazz became tired of heavy English jazz and stopped playing avant-garde music in a strict sense, two different types of nouns began to exchange ideas and occasionally joined hands. In the early 1970s, Fusion had its own independent and creative jazz style (although it was criticized by many purists). Major diversified bands such as Return to Forever, Weather Report, Maha Vishnu Orchestra and Miles Davis played high-quality Fusion, which mixed the best jazz and rock. Unfortunately, when it began to pay attention to commercial value, when rock music began to decline in art in the mid-1970s, most bands advertised as fusion actually blended jazz, laid-back pop music and lightweight R&: B. To some extent, Fusion can't follow the original path, although it still exists in tribes and Chick Coreas Elektric bands.

The origin of the name of fusion zone

Why did you choose the name FUSION?

Angel: Because Jonathan Lee's brother found us because of the competition, it was just a fun attitude before, but if we want to take part in the competition, we have to name it. We found fusion when we were walking in the street. That's why I call it.

Dong Min: The word FUSION stands for "fusion". Everyone is together to live and work together, so they need to be integrated. I hope everyone and fans will be integrated into our music.
