How to evaluate Hua Chenyu's new work Seven Personality?

Hua Chenyu exposed four new songs at this year's Mars concert. Except "I really want to love this world" is a lyric song for people with depression, the rest of "Crazy House" takes a progressive rock route from the psychological analysis of Hua Chenyu Douban, The Tree of God and my personal favorite Seven Personality.

We know that rock music is originally a kind of "folk music" that is not elegant and not recognized by critics. After the Beatles' concept experiment album "SGT Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band", more and more artists (mainly from Britain) began to try to integrate it with classical music, jazz music and other serious music, giving rock a more complex and grand concept. Later, Pink Floyd, Empress, etc. Have achieved great success here.

This route has been well received and praised in the history of pop music development. Those who like it love its endless artistry and refreshing pioneering qualities, while those who don't like it think that this kind of music deviates from the straightforward audibility of pop music. After the prevalence of hip-hop culture, Prog Rock is also facing the decline of the mainstream music industry.

Hua Chenyu's choice of Prog Rock is the embodiment of courage and the need of personality. Previously, his route can also see attempts in the direction of Stadium Rock, Brit-pop and EMO. And his background in class, his rock core and his tendency to integrate various artistic trends make Prog Rock the most suitable expression for him today.

Prog Rock's biggest feature is the obstacle of understanding caused by artistry and literariness, which often exceeds the duration of pop music (everyone has heard of Bohemian Rhapsody). Take the three songs of the concert as an example. The madhouse played reggae for nearly 7 minutes to carry the atmosphere and plot he wanted to complete. The Tree of God is full of elements of world music and a sense of sacredness, which exudes awe-inspiring brilliance in solemnity.

Seven Personality is the most unique one, which tells the theme of personality split, amplifies the characteristics of seven personalities in the arrangement, and fuses them into a less abrupt emotional clue, which finally makes the listener's brain close to the explosion of information and produces a sense of awe like watching a natural miracle. He tried to construct a similar miracle landscape with music.

Rock and roll is hard to do. Need to be extremely sensitive to the concept of multiple music and words, and be indispensable. The new songs at the concert made people look forward to the new album in the future.
