In the finals of "Singer", a guest singer named Zhang Lei helped Hailai Amu sing a song "Hometown" together. At first, I didn't react, but later I learned that this Zhang Lei was the champion of the fourth season of "The Voice of China". And it is worth mentioning that Zhang Lei is still the champion of Na Ying's group, and he is one of Na Ying's many champions in "The Voice of China". But it is also a champion who is very little famous and almost buried. On the performance of "The Singer".
And this time Zhang Lei and Hailai Amu sang on the same stage, in terms of vocal singing skills, it almost overshadowed Hailai Amu's performance. How is Zhang Lei's singing skills?
Answer: Zhang Lei's perfect folk fricative, vocal cord closure is better than Hailai Amu, vocal range C3-F4;
Zhang Lei, this is a singer with a very clear positioning - a singer with superior timbre attributes of folk, friction, and vicissitudes of life. Zhang Lei successfully became the most hotly discussed singer that summer with a song "Nanshan Nan", until he became a member of Na Ying's team, and won the voice championship of the year without any suspense. In terms of the overall music style, Zhang Lei is adhering to the attribute type of moving closer to folk singers. This also led to the fact that after Zhang Lei won the championship, he did not become popular in vocal competition.
In terms of overall singing skills, Zhang Lei's singing system is biased towards the type of hard top of the throat rub tone. It does not belong to a mixing system, or is the use of mixed dive as the main singing method, because Zhang Lei's highest note F4 actually has a certain strong mixing sense of hearing, but because the thinking of fricative tone restricts the limit of his vocal cord closure, it is not obvious that the G4 strong mixing with a mixed metal core and the development of the second voice change point are not obvious. But his F4 is true to have basic mixed thinking skills.
So this is a typical: the singing logic of exchanging the vocal range for the timbre advantage is suitable for singers who prefer the middle and low bass music style, such as folk music style, similar to Xu Wei, the Four Heavenly Kings, Ma Di, Song Dongye, Lao Wolf, these singers who all have a certain folk color, in fact, whether it is Xu Wei or Lao Wolf, Ma Di, their singing essence and Zhang Lei are the same type, and the priority of timbre is higher than the vocal range.
In terms of timbre, Zhang Lei's timbre belongs to a very good commercial timbre type - smoke voice fricative. In vocal music, fricative logic is not respected, because fricatives are essentially hoarse feelings provided by a large number of low-frequency and large-fluctuating overtones caused by partial air leakage of the vocal cords and active friction, which hurts the voice. Basically, fricative, singing smoke means that the vocal range is a kind of expansion space that does not have a mixture. Whether it is Xu Wei, Ma Di, Song Dongye, or Lao Wolf, Zhang Lei, their vocal range is very narrow.
However, the smoke fricative, which is actually very popular in commercial music. His audience is mainly students who have just reached adolescence and a large number of non-music professionals. Because the smoke voice of the fricative sound will naturally have a listening orientation of the vicissitudes of experience, it will have a new gravitational attraction for children who have just reached adolescence, and the vocal cords have thickened and the voice has become low. This means that fricatives are extremely attractive to almost everyone during puberty. This market potential is undoubtedly huge.
But as everyone grows up, their aesthetic will improve rapidly, and gradually they will find that the problem of fricative sound, which does not have an artistic depth, is as follows:
1: The smoke voice fricatives do not have the technical space of strong and weak contrasts and the variety of timbre techniques. The biggest feature of the smoke voice is that it is shocking to hear it for the first time, but after listening to it too much, it will cause great aesthetic fatigue. The reason for the fatigue is that the friction smoke voice does not have the ability to contrast the strength and weakness in the scientific technique of strong remixing, specifically: the crescendo and decrecendo of the timbre, and the timbre technique of the system. He has only one skill, and there is no second trick at all in the first encounter he sees;
2: The repertoire of smoke fricatives is all too mid-bass and has no treble ability. The second problem with the smoky voice is the repetition of the vocal range, and generally the singers with the smoky voice have a relatively narrow vocal range. Including Xu Wei, Zhang Lei, Ma Di, and Lao Wolf, their vocal range ability is actually very focused on C3-F4. And the vocal range of the song is the most intense for the auditory stimulation. Every song of the smoke voice is this kind of mid-bass, which will cause the singer's singing skills to be unable to complete a high sense of surprise. This is also the reason why Zhang Lei is slowly forgotten by the market.
3: It is difficult for the bite of the smoke voice to have explosive power, and the bite particles are too much, and the brightness is too small. One of the characteristics of the timbre of the smoke voice is: full of granularity, and even a kind of excessive granularity smooths the listening sense of hoarseness, which is also the vicissitudes of life pursued by most listeners. But in fact, in the composition of timbre, in addition to the granularity of timbre aesthetics, the more important point is: brightness. More singers with extremely high timbre talent use brightness as their main timbre buying point. For example: Zhang Xinzhe and Zhang Shaohan, it is easier to grasp more music styles with bright voices. But the friction sound is just the opposite, it is mainly granular, and this essential lack will cause the audience's aesthetic fragmentation and cannot be handled.
Therefore, Zhang Lei's timbre is the main positioning of a sinking market in the eyes of the vocal perspective. The basic market of the sinking market is actually not large, and every young person who likes to smoke will grow into the mainstream market. This leads to Zhang Lei's timbre and smoky voice, which cannot support the audience who likes him to the moment when they are willing to consume. It will be very rapid to iterate on the audience, but the students' spending power is limited. This has led to Zhang Lei's business career being more difficult and outside the mainstream.
In terms of vocal range, Zhang Lei's vocal range is a standard folk singer's vocal range: C3-F4 an octave + fourth; This vocal area as a whole belongs to the entry level of professional singers, and it is also a vocal range performance exclusive to the folk style. The vocal range of mainstream pop music singers or singers with certain vocal competitiveness is generally required to be about an octave + six degrees to have the beauty of the treble area among the four harmonies. And the type of folk song that Zhang Lei belongs to is difficult to complete the treble scene.
So in terms of vocal range, Zhang Lei's stage has only one service point: the melancholy of folk songs as the core emotion. In the case of a small range of voices, articulation and tail notes are extremely important. Therefore, Zhang Lei's best songs are essentially biased towards a little bit of pure folk songs, but when some pop factors or rock factors are added, the performance is not very good. This vocal range is also a relatively awkward position in concert and vocal competition, and folk songs are indeed not suitable for competition.
In terms of cavity, Zhang Lei's cavity performance is actually relatively good. It has been several years since he won the championship, and Zhang Lei's fricative inversion has not been found in the past few years, of course, partly because the vocal range itself has not reached the high-pressure state of remixing, but Hailai Amu is also a fricative, but Hailai Amu has an obvious tendency to invert his voice. And Zhang Lei's age is still older than Hailai Amu, and his voice is obviously better.
This is because Zhang Lei's vocal cord closure is better than that of Hailai Amu, and the overall timbre is only in a state of friction sound, but it does not cause large laryngeal fluctuations. On the whole, Zhang Lei's singing skills are very focused on the positioning of folk music. On the stage of "Singer 2024", in fact, the performance of helping the singer Hailai Amu is relatively good. In the case of full open mic, there is no problem with the overall pitch, rhythm, timbre, and emotion. It's just that it's a little bit less explosive due to the style and vocal range.
