Volume 1: Japanese Stormy Weather Chapter 21: Album (5)
Angels! The name of the group should be Ben Folds Five now, they just released their first album "Whatever and Ever Amen". At that time, it was not very popular. Their truly famous era is with the name Ben Folds Five.
After the release of three albums, the real heyday came after the change of team name and the introduction of Robert Blazeman, a renowned British composer and producer who graduated from the Royal Academy of Music. The new century music style introduced by Robert Blazeman brought out infinite charm!
But now, far from that peak era, even their souls, the character Robert Blazeman is still singing in the choir!
So, the world-renowned St. Philip's Chamber Choir was over the moon when they received an invitation from Grammy-winning producer Jerry Goldsmith!
Northern Ireland, dagger
"Niki, you're not fooling me, are you? Enya stared at Niki Ryan with unblinking eyes! Originally, Enya was her stage name."
"Yes, not a bit wrong! That little boy sent us an invitation that day! He wants to collaborate with you on a song!" Nikirien's wife, Romaren walked over and affectionately patted Enya's shoulder. "So let go of my Nikir, his hand is almost being pulled off by you!"
Nya quickly let go of her hand, hmm. Indeed. She was a bit excited! That little guy! Jerry didn't know that since the Grammy Awards ceremony, he had already been on perfectionist Nya's list!
Also invited are Celtic rock singer Loreena McKennitt and new punk band Green Day! Karadyne is still a little girl, Jerry really doesn't know where to find her, so he can only give up reluctantly! With the Angelic Choir, with New Age music queen Enya, with Celtic cultural representative Loreena McKennitt, and with the participation of punk newcomers Green Day, Jerry currently still needs to solve two problems, one is the album producer, and the other is accompaniment! The authoritative band "The Cranberries" also participated in the entire album production! And the album producer was even simpler, the existing Nicky Ryan couple, such an excellent New Age Celtic music producer is not used, it's simply a waste!
From Jerry's construction of the album's song composition to the gathering of all personnel related to the entire album, it only took a total of two months! If Leslie Daugherty didn't have scheduling conflicts, this time might be shortened by half!
"Alright, kids, stop for a moment. This place, or the harmonies could be even better!" Andrew Lloyd Webber finally couldn't escape Sarah Brightman's request and joined in the song arrangement work! This cooperation unexpectedly led to his further contact with the St. Philip's Boys' Choir.
However, the biggest gain this time is still Green Day. I didn't think that Green Day had just formed and a record company found them! Moreover, they are all newcomers. The youngest one is only nine years old. It's hard to believe that this kid won three Grammy Awards! If it were just like this, maybe people would say that this kid was just lucky, but when this lucky kid took the guitar and played out a piece of music with his high-pitched voice, bringing out a critical punk feeling, the only word that can be used to describe this kid is genius!
Not just "Longview", but also "Welcome to Paradise", "Basket Case" and "When I Come Around". Any one of these songs could have launched a successful punk band, yet Jerry wrote all four in one fell swoop, launching Green Day's breakthrough album Dookie.
Of course, Green Day signing with a major label was an inevitable condition!
The harvest of the St. Philip's Children's Choir was reaped later, with Jerry's guidance, the new century music style entered this choir nearly ten years earlier, and with the guidance of Nicky Ryan, the most successful new century music producer of this century, the choir's music style finally completed a brand new positioning in this cooperation! Jerry's lead songs "Wa", "Bi" and "Shan Er" became powerful weapons to test this style. And as it turned out, such results were quite good! Jerry didn't know that by doing so, he would make the St. Philip's Children's Choir unable to shake off his shadow in the next few years, and even after he changed his voice, the choir was once trapped in the predicament of losing its core, until his twin stars reappeared ten years later.
Leslie Daugherty, with an angelic gentle voice, sang Sarah Crocker's famous song "____". Jerry really wanted to perform this song himself, but unfortunately, with his current high-pitched voice, he couldn't bring out the feeling that this song needed! Even before rebirth, neither the Western Boys nor the original singer Sarah Crocker could bring out the essence of this song. The only one who could successfully perform it was a singer named Olivia Aitchison, also known as "Steel Tooth Sister" from the UK. Leslie Daugherty's voice was undoubtedly on par with Olivia's, and what made her even better than Olivia was that she had stronger vocal control! Her stable voice stretched out, making Jerry's goosebumps stand up all over his body! It really wasn't ordinary strength!
But in the eyes of Andrew Lloyd Webber, Sarah Brightman, Enya and others, the most powerful guy is Jerry! One after another, shocking masterpieces flowed from his hands!
He's really a miracle boy!
They had a consistent idea, which was to open up this guy's head and see what he had inside! Well, the cunning Jerry finally found out that he had gone too far!
With the help of so many big-name assistants, the album's recording work went exceptionally smoothly! With the appearance of the St. Philip's Children's Choir, "Gaminwa" has three versions: the choir version, Enya and Jerry's revised version, and Enya's original version. "Ji Bei Shang Yu Duan Shang Bei" also has two versions: the choir version and Jerry's collaboration with Leslie Dowdall!
After completing the album recording work with everyone, the wheel of time has rolled into July this year!
