Huayu 2002, I'm going to dominate the music scene!

Song Mo shook his head after hearing Bi Xiaoshi's words.

If he did initially think his first album could be more trendy.

With the personas mentioned by the previous two people in place, he felt he could be bolder with his debut album.

Xu Yuan frowned. "Xiao Song, do you have something on your mind?"

Like Bi Xiaoshi, he believes that it's beneficial for his debut album to be more trendy.

On the one hand, it will be more readily accepted by the market; on the other hand, it will be more likely to attract the attention of young people.

The music scene is currently undergoing a generational shift, and whoever can win the hearts of young people will become the king of the next decade.

Without hesitation, Song Mo said directly, "You've all heard 'Jiangnan' from my demo, right?"

Bi Xiaoshi nodded; he really liked the song.

Xu Yuan began, "Of course, your song has a very novel style, a blend of classical and pop, somewhat similar to Jay Chou's 'Niang Zi' from a few years ago, but your song goes further than his. Are you planning to build an album based on this style?"

The second major genre, besides these, emphasizes emotional resonance. Because the market for sad love songs and urban love songs still exists, these albums like to use abstract emotional vocabulary, such as "love," "dream," "loneliness," and "first time."

According to Xu Yuan's idea, Song Mo's debut album should just be called "Song Mo," which is simple, safe, and in line with the extremely confident approach they had just discussed.

Song Mo frowned and pondered for a moment before slowly saying, "Actually, I have an idea and would like to ask for your opinions. My first album could be called 'Pen, Ink, Paper and Inkstone.' I want to use R&B as the base for this album, blending Chinese style, hip-hop, rock, and folk music. Among them, Chinese style and hip-hop can attract young people, while rock and folk music have always had a large audience in mainland China."

Xu Yuan frowned even more upon hearing this, while Bi Xiaoshi, standing beside him, exclaimed in surprise, "You can write rock and folk songs?"

Song Mo nodded confidently.

Xu Yuan finally couldn't help but say, "Xiao Song, isn't your debut album going to be too messy? The name 'Pen, Ink, Paper and Inkstone' is fine, but you're going to sing all kinds of songs. That's not a good thing. I still think it would be better to focus on R&B and hip-hop. It's refreshing and simple."

Song Mo laughed, "Since the persona is one of extreme confidence, then my album is going to make a splash in the current music scene. I will put out a hit song for each of these genres. I've even thought of the album's subtitle: 'Eighteen Martial Arts'."

Bi Xiaoshi narrowed his eyes and remained silent.

He was thinking about something else. These days, the biggest fear for newcomers is not having a memorable image.

There are too many people singing R&B, too many singing love songs, and too many singing rock.

But for a 19-year-old newcomer to produce his debut album single-handedly, spanning R&B, Chinese style, hip-hop, rock, and folk, is itself a huge point of memory.

Regardless of how the market ultimately reacts, everyone will remember one thing: this kid can write about anything.

As long as the songs he releases are passable, the label of "all-rounder" will be firmly attached to him.
