Since 1997, Neptune has been the producer of Baby Face, janet jackson, Britney Spears, toni braxton, Mary J. Blige, Destiny's Child, Justin Timberlake, NSYNC, Limp Bizkit, Jay-Z, pop music, R&, R & music stars and bands. As the most famous American pop music production group, as early as 200 1, the Neptune couple released their first album "Looking for ..." under the name of N.E.R.D This album, which combines rock music and rap music, has been unanimously criticized by almost all music critics in Europe and has become the representative of junk records in the music critics. In fact, N.E.R.D learned the lesson and immediately remade and remixed the song, which was reissued in the United States in early 2002. However, this album also suffered a failure in America. This album only ranked No.56 on the Billboard 200 list in the first week, and its final sales volume only exceeded a little more than 500,000, which is extremely inconsistent with the reputation of Haiwangdiao. Perhaps it is precisely because of this that the Neptune family has devoted themselves to recording albums for other artists for a year without giving too much consideration to their own works.
On August 6th, 2003, pharrell williams and Chad Hugo released their first album "Neptune for hegemony" ... Clone is based on the story of Neptune. In this star-studded album, Jay-Z, Nelly and others all have solo singles, but this album has finally achieved considerable success, not only becoming the first week of release. Finally, the efforts of the Neptune Championship in 2003 were recognized by the 46th Grammy Awards, and they won the producer of the year (non-classic) award.
After a great success, the Neptunes family finally began to plan their own music album again. They used more musical instruments. Once again, they recorded "Fly or Die" in the name of the N.E.R.D Orchestra, and this time, once the music cleared the way, it was guaranteed that the album would not receive a cold reception after its release. March 23, 2004, Fly or Die. Although Neptunes has long been the most famous music producer in American pop music, it still has different significance for them to win the Grammy Award for Best Non-classical Music Producer of the Year for the first time in early 2004. This makes Neptunes more confident that the band N.E.R.D will make its own album.
The first album "Looking for …" was released by N.E.R.D in 2002, leaving an exclamation mark! Looking for ... in the album, a large number of soul blues and rock music styles from the 1970s are the production concept center of the whole album, and their unique timbre features are accurately combined in all works with stories. Many songs, after removing the original electronic processing of wild roar and drumming procedures, present a strong old school message and its hand-made musical texture with the configuration of real original percussion instruments.
Lapdance, the first single of the album, mocked the dark situation of American internal politics. Farrell used the metaphor of strippers to provide another wonderful subjective expression for such problems, without losing the fluency and vividness of dance music, interspersed with sexy female voices and multiple tracks, and upgraded to a stinking soundtrack like an underground strip club. Everything is getting better. A radiant retro disco has constructed a positive and joyful party scene, which is the lightness and joy that they seldom appreciate because there are many obscure topics in their works. It also shows that they not only know how to assemble the same music form in clanging electricity. The single "Rock Star" is set off by a lot of metal rock music, which sets off the distorted voice of "Schell" and sings: They opposed all over-affected hypocrisy when they entered the Hall of Fame, which has become one of their works that can best show their departure from the inherent compilation mode. Tape You, with its wandering soul tone, has almost made fans who have long been accustomed to being immersed in their violent electronic hip-hop music show their good skills in other music categories.
This work, which attempts to return to the essence of Hip-Hop music and try to blend different timbres, also shows that they have stepped into more critical and metaphorical deep thinking on the level of ordinary black music, which specializes in salty and wet erotic topics and street fighting. In this album, N.E.R.D' s musical personality has a sharper depth of field than other singers with homogeneous and different materials. The most powerful musical work, the most intense rhythmic revolutionary force.
Break the boundaries of genre music and release the maximum energy of rhythm.
Noun (short for Noun) E.R.D, which combines hip-hop, rock, truancy and soul music, joined the world's first mixed music album.
In the past ten years, when superstars such as Madonna, Justin, Jess or Stephanie Kwan wanted to seek new rhythm kinetic energy, Neptune Tune/Neptune was the first thing they thought of, a production group composed of pharrell williams/Feidong and Chad Hugo/Chad Hugo. Through minimalism, electronic synthesizer and infinite imagination, we can open up two channels of hip-hop, rhythm and blues, funk, rock, electronics, dance music and other types of music, and create a new fashion of mixed music with complex structure, beautiful and neat, and original flavor and rhythm. In fact, Neptune is just a combination of Fei Dong and Chad to show their creative instinct, and the N.E.R.D./ Eternal Life Orchestra formed by them and their good friends shae/Yi Xue is their real musical essence and life. Following the first album Looking for ... (2001+0) and the album Fly or Die (2004) which widely absorbed the essence of various music predecessors, Eternal Life Orchestra brought the hottest album Seeing Sound in the summer of 2008.
Seeing Sound is the masterpiece of Eternal Life Orchestra, which breaks the boundaries of traditional music and challenges fans who have subjective prejudice against music. Fei Dong said: "We are subject to kinetic energy and emotion. We don't care about the type of music. We leave everything to our imagination and feelings. Why do we just put music in a small box? "
Are you online? The album title "Seeing Sound" comes from the word "Synaesthesia", which is a phenomenon based on neurology. It means that when one feeling is stimulated, it will involuntarily or strangely stimulate other feelings, such as eating blueberry pie made by my mother when I see red, or getting goose bumps when I hear the wind blowing through leaves. As far as the eternal life orchestra is concerned, this term refers to the feeling that when you hear a note or melody, the picture of young love flashes in your mind at the same time.
The first single of this album.
