At 7:30 in the morning on December 12th, North American time, it was still the radio station where Jiang Yan made his North American radio debut. It was still the black brother Harrison who received Jiang Yan at that time. At this time, he had already introduced him eloquently.
The upcoming "Joey4" is over 20 minutes old.
"It's been two and a half years, my friends, it's been two and a half years! I've finally been waiting for the album of Son of the Wind! Let the Son of Wind know the truth about how we got here in the past two and a half years..."
Harrison's tone was very exaggerated, and his admiration for Jiang Yan was almost fanatical.
But Harrison didn't feel that he was too "licky" at all. Instead, he felt that he didn't perform enough.
There is no other reason, just because he has already been conquered by Jiang Yan's new specialty.
He is luckier than other fans because he received the new album signed by Jiang Yan himself a week early.
The quality of the new album is still beyond expectations.
So Harrison, who is both a fan of Jiang Yan and a fitness fan, held this high-quality album in his hands and spoke into the microphone without any scruples.
This kind of output will naturally make countless European and American fans of Jiang Yan excited.
After all, Jiang Yan's reputation has already reached the top level after several years of accumulation. Even though he has not been active in Europe and the United States in the past two and a half years, now that he has released an album again, this will naturally arouse the excitement of countless fans.
Just look at the huge queues in front of major video stores in Laos and the United States and you will know that Jiang Yan's reputation in Europe and the United States cannot be overshadowed.
Of course, such flattery will definitely cause dissatisfaction from others.
Many people who don't know Joey, the son of the wind, either think that this person is sick, or that New York's radio style is quite radical.
However, after Harrison's introduction for more than ten minutes, these people's impression of Jiang Yan also went from being unfamiliar to being extremely curious.
Son of the Wind, a Chinese, proficient in 11 languages, the number one singer in Asia, eight Grammys? He also won an Oscar? The total sales of English albums exceeded 70 million!? The world's top screenwriter? The top guard in Olympic basketball?!? "?"
"Eyah Hey", "You Are Beautiful" and other hits are all his songs??!! Britney's "Toxic" was also written by him? And this year's popular song "Stay Here Forever" by Jewel was also written by the Son of the Wind
of?
The most important thing is the origin of Jiang Yan’s nickname, Son of the Wind.
The stranger listeners are getting more and more outrageous. Isn’t this Joey awesome?
Then many of them reacted.
Oh, it turns out that the singer at this year's World Cup is him!
It turns out that the song I listened to last year was him!
It turns out that "Prison Break" was written by him.
turn out to be...
In 2003, when the Internet was still underdeveloped even in the United States, every promotion by celebrities would allow many ordinary people to experience a "Village Netcom"-like refresh of current affairs. Moreover, Jiang Yan was not an ordinary person, so at this moment they
The feeling became shocking.
So now, more and more people are looking forward to Joey's new work.
It's just the same, if some people admire it, some people will discredit it.
How the public opinion will be depends on the release of the new album in a few minutes.
Fortunately, Joey never disappoints.
"Friends, it will be eight o'clock soon, and I have to relax my mouth here."
Harrison looked at the time and started spoiling things ten minutes ahead of time.
This made countless fans in front of the radio prick up their ears on the spot.
Because Joey is releasing a new album this time, its confidentiality is quite tight.
Just like in China, there was no promotion at all in the early stage, only one sentence: the new album will be released on December 12.
As for album information, song information, how many songs there are, etc., they really haven’t leaked a single bit.
Here, Jiang Yan actually wants to admire Lao Mei, which is not like at home.
The same path is followed in China, but there are always some people who will take risks.
Fortunately, the Internet in China is even less developed, and Jiang Yan can control portals, forums, etc., so until the album is released, the information leaked about the tracks will be within a very small range.
But now in the United States, the default costs and legal supervision here are very complete, so even if there is a similar situation, even if Jiang Yan's ability to control public opinion is quite weak, there is no real accident until the release.
Therefore, in the eyes of fans in New York, Harrison's ten-minute advance spoiler became a media exclusive, which naturally seemed quite precious.
Harrison and Joey do know each other!
Many fans think so in their hearts.
But that's not important. What's important is what Harrison spoiled.
On the radio, Harrison paused and said:
"The full name of Joey's fourth English album this time is "Joey4·5years"."
"Why is it called five years? Because this is the fifth year since Joey debuted."
"But friends, Joey told me that the five years he refers to are actually not exactly the five years since his debut. There is another meaning in it."
"And this meaning, Joey has already written it into the title song of the new album "5 years"."
"That's right, friend, the title song of Joey's new album is called "5 years"!"
"Do you want to know why Joey chose this name? You will know after a while."
"I asked Joey, how do you describe this song? Joey asked me: How long does it take to narrate a life? I said the time of a movie? Joey shook his head and said, it only takes 3 minutes and 58 seconds."
"So friends, the great Harrison swears here that you will fall in love with it in less than ten seconds!"
It was another outburst, and the fans in front of the radio station were already scratching their heads.
Harrison's brainwashing output is very effective, but it does make people hate him.
Harrison's voice on the radio gradually faded, and then the music started.
Then less than ten seconds.
really.
Countless listeners have been immersed in the music...
"5 years" is Jiang Yan's famous song "7 years" by Lucas Graham from his own time and space.
On December 6, 2016, the song was nominated for "Production of the Year" and "Song of the Year" at the 59th Grammy Awards.
The reason why I started with this song is simply because this song is more suitable for Jiang Yan’s current situation.
The quality of the songs is good, and there is a lot of room for modification of the song titles.
It just so happens that Jiang Yan has been out for five years now, and there are still five years until the system reaches 100%, so the title of the song became "5 years".
Once the song title is changed, the relevant lyrics in the song must also be changed.
For example, in the original version of "I was seven years old, in this vast world, I always thought that we would become stronger and push each other to the edge, so that we could grow up faster..." The "seven years old" in the original version was changed to "seven years old".
Became "five years old".
And just changing this is not enough, the song is about life, so Jiang Yan simply changed all the subsequent years to his current situation.
So it became:
When I was five years old, my mother told me to make more friends, otherwise I would be lonely.
When I was fifteen years old, I started smoking and drinking. My father told me to find a wife and do what I wanted to do.
At the age of twenty, my story has been widely circulated and I have found a group of like-minded friends.
Soon I will be thirty, maybe I will sing in front of my lover's children.
I will be 60 soon, but my parents only lived to be 42. Seeing my children and grandchildren around my knees, I am always grateful.
Lucas Graham's song was written for himself. It is great and Jiang Yan likes it very much, just as many fans said.
How long does it take to narrate a life?
It only takes 3 minutes and 58 seconds.
Jiang Yan now uses these 3 minutes and 58 seconds to review and describe his current life.
But now, many fans who know Jiang Yan heard a lot of bitterness at the first time.
They knew that Joey's parents died when he was fifteen, so when they heard Joey sing "When he was 15 years old, he smoked and drank, and his father told him to find a wife and do what he wanted to do," the picture in their mind was naturally that of a decadent Joey.
, in despair, helplessness and loneliness, his deceased father encouraged him in dreams or fantasies.
Perhaps it was because of this that Joey cheered up and debuted on his own at the age of 18. At the age of 19, he bravely entered the European and American music scene and became a blockbuster. At the age of 20, he was famous all over the world, but he still faced so many doubts.
Then he defeated the American team in the Olympics and achieved another peak.
So Joey has always been lonely. He has always tried to listen to his parents, live a good life, and do what he wants to do.
Because of this, he slowly walked out.
At the age of 20, he had like-minded friends. It seems that because of them, Joey is no longer lonely. So next, Joey will get married and have children, have children and grandchildren around his knees, and continue to believe in the future...
So, this is a song about growing up.
Through this song, Joey tells the world that he is growing up, and at the same time, through his own experience, he tells everyone that the future is beautiful, don't be negative, and have longing for the future.
So after everyone was bitter about Joey's experience, they immediately began to examine themselves, and then gained some insights into their future.
"I really..."
At this moment, many fans in front of the radio station couldn't help but burst into tears after listening to it.
Chinese people of this era may not understand the current resonance of old American fans.
Because the current purpose of the Chinese people is very clear, which is to make money.
After all, the basic contradiction today is the contradiction between the people's growing material and cultural needs and backward social production.
But Lao America is different. They have already passed the development stage, and the current society in Lao America is also more complex, somewhat similar to China more than 20 years later.
Many people are confused about the future, and they cannot bear to look back on their past lives.
Coupled with the impact after 911, the current cloud of war.
Therefore, the entire American society and the European and American music scene find it difficult to resist this kind of song that is said to be "positive energy" in Chinese terms.
Because of this, not long after the first song was played, the blogs of some music critics in the United States began to update.
And the title is ""5years", Joey's beautiful gift to the world."
However, not many fans have read the content of the article yet.
Because Joey's "Joey4" has just been released. There are more than ten songs. It takes an hour to listen to them all. How can I have time to pay attention to you?
It’s not too late to wait until you finish listening and see how you play.
For this "Joey 4·5 Years" album, Jiang Yan still uses the three-module format of original time and space, parallel time and space, and pure music.

"Flower Dance"
《tassel》
There are 21 songs in total.
The first two parts of the song categories are actually not inferior to the previous three English albums in terms of quality.
In the first part, "5 Years" alone has a Grammy nomination level.
And two of the songs from Parallel Time and Space have won Grammys from Different Worlds.
So if everything goes well, next year Jiang Yan will have another small trophy to win.
Of course, if others don't give it, then Jiang Yan will still say the same thing.
The weapons arsenal is so plentiful that he doesn't mind a large-scale clearance.
Fortunately, the current situation is pretty good.
In the afternoon of the 13th BJ time, Warner Henry called directly:
"Hot, Joey, hot!!!"
Henry's announcement comes.
On the first day the new album was released in North America, the market response was excellent, with music critics, fans, sales and other aspects surpassing the previous album.
As a result, next year's Grammy will be much more certain. Not to mention, Jiang Yan's total album sales are likely to exceed 100 million before the end of next year!
That’s 100 million!
What is the concept of total album sales exceeding 100 million in this era?
The dividends that are emitted are all glowing green, and that is the green light from Franklin!
"Joey, the low price of the concert has been raised to 36 million US dollars. Regardless of whether it's windy or not, if you sing 20 songs in one concert, you'll get 36 million US dollars! And it's after tax! There's also advertising shares! You're better than Michael Jackson.
It’s all gone now! You have to take a good walk next year, my pension depends on you!”
The 63-year-old Henry is directly equal to Jiang Yan, but Jiang Yan doesn't care: "Let's see again."
He didn't really care about the concert or anything, he was busy after all.
Henry smiled and said: "I understand, I understand, don't worry, I can stay calm, hehe..."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yan quickly put the music thing behind him.
Music is just a moderator.
Movies...well, movies are also a tune-up now.
The most important thing now is to go back and recuperate Sister Yu’s body after the Golden Horse Awards.
It's been more than a month, and you should be able to tell the gender...
