Sun Shengxi, a new generation singer under Rolling Stone Records, has not only been recognized by the Golden Melody Award for his high-quality albums in the past few years, but also received great praise for singing film and television theme songs such as "Want to See You" and "No Rain in the Godless Land", achieving a double harvest of word of mouth and the market, and also won the titles of "Golden Song Queen" and "New OST Queen".
Coinciding with the launch of the "Rolling Stones 40" project of "Rolling Stones 40 Group Struggle Classics", Heath specially formed the Sun Sheng Xi-Xi You Orchestra SHI's Band to participate in this musical event. After considering many songs, Sun Shengxi finally chose Zhang Zhenyue's work "Break Up", a clear voice, like a bright solo dance in the spotlight, superimposed on an acoustic guitar, and the sound of fragrance is sweet, with a different flavor.
Once the song was launched, it was greatly praised, and Xiao Shi summarized the comments of ten well-known music critics in the Chinese music industry on Sun Shengxi's version of "Break Up" (the following ranking is in no particular order), come and see what professional teachers have commented on it

Sun Shengxi's cover song is a very special one in this project, because it is one of the few works with vocal singing as the main body, showing Sun Shengxi's highly recognizable vocal and singing details, and the guitar is very well-appointed, the whole song is very mainstream popular solid production, complete specifications and tailor-made writing, very personal style, will remind people of "Someday or One Day". Under the alternative and new presentation of a number of bands, Sun Shengxi's song seems to be more popular and mainstream, but she is by no means without the ability to be alternative and complicated, but pays attention to the fit between personal temperament and work, reflecting the excellent grasp between ability and taste, technology and aesthetics.

Listening to the classic remake of "Rolling Stones Band 40 Groups Fight Classics", Zhang Zhenyue's "Break Up" adapted by Sun Shengxi-Xiyou Orchestra SHI's Band was surprised!
This adaptation is laid out with guitar timbres, stacked with exciting emotions in solo, and accompanied by Sun Shengxi's unique clear and ethereal voice, which makes people feel that they should be so cheerful. This is also another different feeling of "break up", less of a grudge, more of a chic, let people want to taste at the same time have to praise a "bitter aftertaste, eventually have a sweet" charm, interesting and wonderful!
Compared with the original version, this version may actually impress me more, it makes me feel calm and free, there is a kind of indifference that has gone through vicissitudes! Sun Shengxi's clean voice comes with a transcendent ethereal beauty, so that we can dye our memories into beautiful when listening to songs, so that we can calmly face the breakup. The right adaptation makes people shine, and the appropriate blank space also interprets a different breakup mood, introducing a sad song with a relaxed melody, which enhances the sense of freedom, quite a wake-up call of "the wise man does not fall in love".
Maybe our breakup has all kinds of emotions, but I think we can all come and listen to this adaptation, because Sun Shengxi uses his own singing voice to tell the story without shock, no big deal, but "break up"~

"Rolling Stones!" 40 Tuan Tuan Zhan Classics" Have you all listened?
During college, sun Shengxi, a musician who played a band, recently "Rolling Stones Band!" 40 troupe struggle classic" project in the name of the Xiyou orchestra to participate in the flash, cover Zhang Zhenyue's very classic work "break up", this song is my every KTV will be the existence of the chorus, simple melody and words but make this song more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, Zhang Zhenyue direct and cheerful singing so that the original version has a unique free taste, and Sun Shengxi's cover this time gives this song a thousand twists and turns of feelings, and the gentleness of the other side, from loud proclamation to soft talk, repeating the chorus three or four times, Sun Shengxi sang different emotions every time, from determination to hesitation to that trace of reluctance, which can be said to be another excellent way of performing "Break Up" from different perspectives.
Listening to Ma Shifang's interview with Sun Shengxi's radio, the tracks she played in the band rehearsal in college from the Tokyo Incident to Radiohead to some Korean indie rock bands, which had a great impact on her later debut when the musician joined the Rolling Stones, so this time the project was announced, and she has won the Golden Melody Award for Best Chinese Album and was shortlisted for Best Chinese Female Singer, and she immediately formed a Xiyou Orchestra in a flash way, and once again after ten years, she passed the band addiction and sang "Break Up" It is also a inheritance of Rolling Stone Records, from big brother to little sister who can already be independent, which is very meaningful.
Of course, I don't want this to be a band cooperation that she ended once, and it is really great to have the opportunity to try more band-related creations in the future, as the lead singer of the band, Sun Shengxi is very suitable.

Sun Shengxi appeared in the special project of "Rolling Stone Collision Band", which can be described as a special bright color - as the only independent female singer in the Haohao Tang Tang band, although she did not appear as a fixed band, it was more like bringing a special appearance with the "Xiyou Orchestra SHI's Band", but from 2019 in the 30th Taiwan Golden Melody Awards shortlisted for multiple awards, and finally won the "Chinese Album of the Year", the highly affirmed "Journey to The West" album began, we can feel that Sun Shengxi is through " Play band" way and a group of friends to create music, and finally successfully broke away from the traditional Taiwanese bitter love female singer template, completed the self-transformation of rebirth, the effect is gratifying.
Reinterpreting Zhang Zhenyue's 1998 "Secret Base" album in the work "Break Up", Sun Shengxi's most praised to me is through the unlimited possibilities of independent female singers and band cooperation, bringing new ideas for the "Rolling Stones Band" to do the opposite, Zhang Zhenyue's original version is actually a typical rock band temperament, the opening is to use strong drum beats to render the boy's distraught and helpless mood, the electric guitar in the chorus part is constantly increasing a sad mood, with Ah Yue's clean and innocent voice, Quite a kind of abandoned "gambling gas" impact, with the album feature "around the mood of a twenty-year-old young man", it highlights the confusion of adolescence, and to me, there is even a little "little pity" feeling.
And spanning more than 20 years, Sun Shengxi presented us with the female version of "Break Up", there is another completely different style - the opening of the acoustic guitar outlines a light folk taste, the first time the main song to the chorus, completely only with the acoustic guitar to set off Sun Shengxi's singing, her clear and clean tone, is murmuring "write a letter without an address, want to send it to your heart, tell you the fading love, whether you have ever paid attention", a calm, innocent, inner pain but must be strong female image From the main song to the chorus, Sun Shengxi's emotions bring a sense of change and layering of "slow but urgent" to the entire arrangement, the kind of interpretive beauty between restraint and loss of control, from the sentence "Let's break up" in 1 minute and 40 seconds, with the change of drum beats, completing the double sublimation of arrangement to emotion.
Yes, if Zhang Zhenyue's version of "break up" that is constantly repeated, it is the boy who knows that the other party who has changed his heart is about to say to himself, then Sun Shengxi's "break up" is that the girl has made a decision after determining that the other party who has changed his heart has been irretrievable- starting from the second main song, guitar, bass, drum line joined, with Sun Shengxi's singing more and more open emotional flow, we seem to see a strong girl walking alone on a lonely road at this moment, but destined to lead to a brilliant distance, The electric guitar solo after the end of the second chorus seems to be a forward horn, encouraging us to let go of inappropriate feelings, and the last chorus is turned into the opening pure acoustic guitar accompaniment, at this time, Sun Shengxi's interpretation has faded the initial sense of pain, more of a healing, confident and free - at this point, a work that was originally full of sadness and even "self-abandonment" breath, through the adaptation of Sun Shengxi and "Xiyou Orchestra SHI's Band", has a new musical vitality. It also provides people with a new perspective of understanding:
Break up, whether active or passive, your heart should be really strong after waking up.
Such a change is exactly a self-expression of Sun Shengxi, as a descendant musician, keeping pace with the times - she has made a reinterpretation that naturally resonates with the current young people under the premise of thoroughly understanding the spirit of the original work, and also vividly reflects the innovative significance of the "Rolling Stones Band", a special project in today's Chinese music scene, please note that what we want is not the conservative of the unchanged cover, not the speculation of new bottles of old wine, but under the nourishment of these classic golden songs, awaken the original intention of pure music. With the current technology, emotions, and ideas, the innovation of really "bumping out the spark" is expressed, and Sun Shengxi's bloom this time is very beautiful and beautiful.

"Break Up" is from Zhang Zhenyue's fourth album "Secret Base" in 1998, which is actually an album that has just returned from the army to return from the army with a "First Experience of Love" from a cute idol to a rocker, and Zhang Zhenyue really began to find his own musical expression, the whole album presents a state of naked youth of twenty-year-olds, avant-garde and unbridled, highly acclaimed, this song "Break Up" also won the Top 20 Song Award in the Sixth Chinese Chart.
Fast forward 23 years, this song "Break Up" from the rock youth Zhang Zhenyue to the hands of R&B talented sun Shengxi, the context of siren at that time and the current state of mind of this shu are not the same. Listening to the new version of "Break Up", an intuitive feeling is that Zhang Zhenyue's "Break Up" mainly sang an emotion, and at this time, Sun Shengxi's version was more like restoring a situation, or a kind of breakup scene with clear layers. The opening acoustic guitar is clear and pure, so that the story starts from a simple thought and aftertaste, and then the band joins to jointly restore the ins and outs of this breakup, the protagonist's emotional collision and interlacing in the story, the romance is intense, and then the electric guitar SOLO allows the story's emotions to ferment and vent, and then, when all the passion dissipates, only a cold acoustic guitar is left, accompanied by a sigh of this lone shadow, drawing a conclusion for all the unwillingness and regret.
It can be said that this is also an adaptation that completely changed the original tune, completely erased the rebellious and uninhibited sense of the original song with a bit of a bad taste, and turned to female thinking to portray a period of pure love that cannot go away, advancing and unfolding layer by layer in sweetness, freedom and sentimentality, delicate and gentle without losing rich emotional color, such an adaptation, although it is very different from the original song, but it is reasonable, another way, digs out another color and brilliance for the original song, so that a classic work can find a new vitality after going through time. This should be the goal and meaning of the "Rolling Stones" that the "Rolling Stones" want to hit out.

Sun Shengxi re-adapted And interpreted Zhang Zhenyue's "Break Up" in "Rolling Stones! 40 Group Struggle Classics".
Zhang Zhenyue's original version is dominated by bandsound, and the drums are spread at the beginning, and the chorus plays a little rock and roll with an electric guitar, and the temperament is tough. Sun Shengxi sang the delicate side of the song from a gentle angle, and the first time the main chorus was purely accompanied by acoustic guitar plucking to highlight the emotional details of the vocals.
Sun Shengxi's interpretation is very stylish, and the rhythm in the voice, the slight sigh that is added from time to time in the tone, and the change of voice at the chorus all create a sensual image under the indifference. After joining the full orchestra for the second time, the whole song still maintains this gentle and delicate feeling, without spilling dog blood, just slightly uplifting and fluctuating, maintaining a clear and sad atmosphere, and finally returning to the guitar accompaniment. If the original song focuses more on the free side of "Break Up", then Sun Shengxi's version focuses more on the delicate mood in "Break Up".

Sun Shengxi & Xiyou Orchestra's adaptation of "Break Up" is a highlight of this project. The basic configuration of guitar, bass, and drum instruments has a faint sadness that is restored to the perspective of a girl who broke up, compared with the strong atmosphere of Bandsound in Zhang Zhenyue's original version, Sun Shengxi is obviously relieved.
"Break Up" is a song released by Sun Shengxi as the lead singer of the band, so it is more bandic in terms of musical temperament, and the R &B style she sang in her personal identity is completely different, but there is a way for me to recall the indifference and beauty of Sun Shengxi singing "Someday or One Day" at the beginning of the "Want to See You" episode, or from the perspective of the content of the song text, an inappropriate relationship, breaking up is the best ending, and both sides will harvest the possibility of being able to start over to meet the next happiness. Sun Shengxi's version of "Break Up" has a blank listening space for the next happiness at the level of arrangement.

In the "Rolling Stones Band 40 Group Struggle Classics" project, Sun Shengxi's personal favorite is zhang Zhenyue's "Break Up". "Break Up" was first included in Zhang Zhenyue's 1998 album "Secret Base", Sun Shengxi's adaptation specially formed the Sun Shengxi-Xiyou Orchestra SHI's Band, a general Chinese female singer group orchestra/band, from Penny Tai to Liu Xijun, which is basically based on rock style. This time, Sun Shengxi's orchestral adaptation was particularly fresh, and the arrangement did a lot of subtraction, choosing an acoustic guitar, which highlighted Sun Shengxi's timbre. The combination of bass and drums in the middle is neat and tacit, which is also the benefit of the orchestra adaptation, very three-dimensional; I like the electric guitar solo, very urban, very free.
Sun Shengxi is not a simple cover singing, from the arrangement to the singing are injected with personal things. When you hear the first half of "Break Up", you will think of Sun Shengxi's own song "Someday or One Day" two years ago, the two songs also have an acoustic guitar, and another reason is that Sun Shengxi's transposition and singing voice are too own feelings and rhythms. I look forward to Sun Shengxi and the orchestra singing this song with the scene.

Sun Shengxi specially formed the Xiyou Orchestra SHI's Band to participate in this blockbuster project. From the singer to the lead singer of the band, the role has changed, but the singing attributes are consistent, and the idea of adapting the song specifically to this song is also to highlight the singing. Thus, of the 40 songs of the nature of the orchestra, this one is quite special. This choice is in line with Sun Shengxi's personal recognition, I remember that in his personal previous album "Haunting Zone Where is SHI?", sun Shengxi mentioned in the copy, "I just like good music, and I expect the music I make to become popular." It can be seen that she pays special attention to the ear and listenability of the song. This point happens to be clearly reflected in this version of "Break Up", and the whole song, whether it is vocals or music, has a strong memory point.
Sun Shengxi's vocals are magnetic and full of changes, and her sense of control and design in singing is very good, interpreting the pain of the topic of "breaking up" to a real and dramatic feeling. The arrangement is responsible for the task of serving the vocals, and the fresh Band Sound texture echoes the vocals in real time, which strengthens the dynamic ups and downs of Sun Shengxi's singing and the emotional concentration.
The "collision" embodied in "Break Up" is not a pioneering experimental nature, but a free exercise based on self-characteristics. Sun Shengxi did. What Sun Shengxi has done is a full of self-consistency between skill and emotion, and in the song you can experience the best state of natural bonding of the two.

Rolling Stones Band 40 Troupe Struggle Classic In this Project, Sun Shengxi is a more special one, when she knew that the company had this cover plan, she decided to join, pulled guitarist Tu Heng, bassist Audi, drummer Xiaoguan temporarily formed the Xiyou Orchestra SHI'S BAND, and covered Ah Yue's gold song Break Up on the 1998 Secret Base album, which is not the same as Ah Yue's kind of, masculine and free-spirited presentation More inclined to Shawn Mendes' kind of country rock, in order to solve the problem of repeated lyrics in different paragraphs of the whole song, simple and not simple melody, difficult to perform, the stacking method was used to lay out, the beginning of the use of a single acoustic guitar arrangement, to the middle section of the stacked SoundBand, and then finally the arrangement is removed only to leave vocal, showing women's interpretation at different stages of emotion, the cover is very good.
Xi Xi also tried different styles after her debut, at first more pure pop music, and then finally tried the most suitable style for herself in the "Xi Youji" album, and she also played bands with different styles when she was in Korea, I believe that if this Xi You orchestra starts to run officially, it can bring more surprises to fans.
