music style
Kuraki Mai, who made her debut in the United States under the name of Mai. K, became a famous Japanese singer in less than a year. Although she didn't appear on TV or other media, Ma Yili's records sold better every time. What is Ma Yili's musical charm? The debut song "My Favorite Baby", known as the ultimate work of female R&B, was released in the form of imported records when it was launched in Japan, and it was quickly snapped up. Now it is difficult to buy it.
The first single released in Japan, "Love, The Day After Tomorrow", was written by Mai Yi himself, without flowery words, but it can describe himself very well, and POPS or R &；; B's music material, so it gives people a feeling of freedom and sensibility, so it might as well be said that this is a song with fresh and beautiful perceptual elements for girls aged 16.
No matter who you are, you must have been in a state of confusion. Words like "even close friends have secrets" are the best theme for writing lyrics. For example, "Love, The Day After Tomorrow" and "By My Side" are wonderful music interwoven by Ma Yi's melody, words and her singing talent. The difference between "This is Your Life" and "The Secret of My Heart" is that the style of the first song adds more light rhythms of western music, while the latter is a song with the theme of friendship. Ma Yili spoke at the end with her slender, gentle and transparent singing voice, which made people feel very happy.
In the tunes of Love, The Day After Tomorrow, Stay with me and The Secret of My Heart, flax gives them a high sense of transparency and leaves a deep impression on people. But in this work, compared with the previous style, it pays more attention to the rhythm, deduces the stable bass in a cool way, and shows the light repertoire. Using singing skills freely, Ma Yili can easily sing a higher scale, and the difficulty is not great, which makes people listen to Ma Yili's most authentic singing strength.
