Oh, this is so R&B. This is like R&B from my high school.

Oh, I love this shit. Oh, and he's so handsome.

Holy crap. I think this is the first time since I've been reviewing Chinese singers that I've heard a Chinese singer sing in English first and then sing in Mandarin, I assume.

Does that... I have to give Chinese singers that it really... those... I could be wrong, but it seems to really hamper the ease.

Like just... he's having to fight for it a little bit more now.

Just around the vowels. Do you not see that? Do you not agree?

Yeah, I agree. Chinese is much harder to sing.

Wow, like hearing him flow vocally just as a singer, and then hearing him have to do these syllables and vowels. Wow.

Man, you just don't hear chord changes like this anymore in pop or R&B or whatever we want to call contemporary genres right today.

You just don't hear these more... I don't know, what would you call them?

More like jazz-influenced changes or like what would you call that? Gospel? Gospel-influenced changes?

Forever love, forever love 我只想用我这一辈子去爱你 从今以后你会是所有

He also, though, is pretty comfortable, confident and easy, moving into staying in the thicker place in his voice on higher notes.

So I think stylistically, as a part of the times,

I'm sure this is still probably 90s, if not early 2000s.

He still, he definitely chooses to stay in that heady place sometimes, as opposed to always belting or always kind of mixing thick.

Yeah, but I think it's part of the influence.

Oh, absolutely. I'm saying he may be trying to suit this market.

He may be trying to suit the Asian song, the Asian market, the writing, the influence of whoever was in on the writing and composition of the song.

I don't know. When we think of different genres, for me, I don't speak many languages, but when I think of different genres, it definitely influences the stylizations I put in.

And so maybe for him, when he is singing an English song versus a Chinese song, maybe that also is impacting the choices he makes stylistically.

But he also, to my ear, he sounds like an English person singing.

Obviously, probably his first language is Mandarin, but I imagine just from doing so much English work, he's almost treating some of those vowels like whatever he's saying.

What is he saying at the beginning of this?

Anyone would sing it the same way, actually, not just him.

It's just because these certain words with syllables, these certain syllables are more open-mouthed.

It's like in that song I did, what's the beginning of the phrase I did?

Wei, I, feng, shou, those are pretty related to English words, like phonetically.

Yeah, because you're not using your tongue.

But you started to suggest to me that some songwriters write within mind...

I'm sure he writes his songs considering these things.

So there's a lot of words and syllables and vowels in here that I'm like, oh, that's...

He's picking words based on how relaxed his tongue is.

You guys, you know, songwriting is so hard, as it is, to say something meaningful and to say something poetic and to say something that you want to say, and then adding on a layer, if I'm understanding correctly, adding on a layer where you're choosing words that suit a certain...

That's just a crazy another factor to add on.

You know, when I was a kid, well, not really,

But when I first heard him, it reminded me of Justin Timberlake a lot.

A lot, because Justin Timberlake uses the same falsetto.

It's not falsetto, it's that more heady sound.

What he just did, that is so the vibe that I got.

I was driving home to see my parents a couple weeks ago, and I haven't listened to Justin Timberlake for a decade and a half, or more.

And I was wanting to hear some good male R&B, and I put him on, and I was blown away.

This is very full circle of a moment right now.

In my mind, I've almost shifted it to the more airy falsetto of today.

But that is absolutely what men were doing in the 90s and 2000s.
