Do you know all the power that you hold baby
My wrist is froze they get blinded by the stones baby
I need it
To keep away the pain
Stay with me everyday
Do you feel the same Oh baby yeah
She always know what I want like she's psychic
You're a super hero baby let me be your side kick
Ain't seen nothing like it
Everything timeless
They've been looking for it

《玉》名字的(de)由(you)來源(yuan)于(yu)千年前動人(ren)故事中的(de)“寧為玉碎(sui),不為瓦(wa)全”,也源(yuan)于(yu)英(ying)語中“You”的(de)諧音,串聯古(gu)今,溝(gou)通中外(wai),張(zhang)藝興的(de)《玉》有頌古(gu)通今、“中西合(he)璧”之(zhi)意。《玉》將中國傳統元(yuan)素與流行元(yuan)素結合(he),用嘻哈的(de)方式講述古(gu)代的(de)故事。
《玉(yu)(yu)》由張(zhang)(zhang)(zhang)(zhang)藝興(xing)(xing)(xing)聯手制作人Murda Beatz共同完成(cheng)(cheng),歌(ge)(ge)(ge)曲(qu)由一段(duan)經典(dian)的(de)京劇(ju)intro做引,再在張(zhang)(zhang)(zhang)(zhang)藝興(xing)(xing)(xing)的(de)葫蘆絲和(he)仿古音樂的(de)采(cai)樣中(zhong)(zhong)加入(ru)Murda獨特(te)的(de)鼓點,中(zhong)(zhong)國傳統樂器的(de)聲音張(zhang)(zhang)(zhang)(zhang)力和(he)歐(ou)美嘻(xi)哈的(de)簡(jian)潔動感結合(he),形成(cheng)(cheng)互補之姿,再有張(zhang)(zhang)(zhang)(zhang)藝興(xing)(xing)(xing)的(de)獨特(te)唱(chang)腔(qiang)加成(cheng)(cheng),整(zheng)個歌(ge)(ge)(ge)曲(qu)魅力十(shi)足,令人驚艷。值得注(zhu)意(yi)的(de)是,張(zhang)(zhang)(zhang)(zhang)藝興(xing)(xing)(xing)在歌(ge)(ge)(ge)曲(qu)中(zhong)(zhong)創新加入(ru)女旦唱(chang)腔(qiang),使得歌(ge)(ge)(ge)曲(qu)層次(ci)更(geng)為豐富,而(er)副歌(ge)(ge)(ge)中(zhong)(zhong)不斷重復的(de)“玉(yu)(yu)、玉(yu)(yu)、玉(yu)(yu)”,將流(liu)行元素(su)和(he)洗腦旋律完美結合(he),行成(cheng)(cheng)歌(ge)(ge)(ge)曲(qu)中(zhong)(zhong)不可或缺(que)的(de)記憶點,雅俗(su)共賞(shang),巧(qiao)妙精美。
