Six Hundred and Ninety-Two Starting From 0

Since Ronan took over the steering wheel of One Day King's creation, the band has gradually left the field of pop rock, found a space in alternative rock, and tried a lot to integrate different styles such as folk, rap, electronic, and even symphony. Styles are indeed getting bolder.

Whether the band members realize it or not, the Kings for a Day are very different strangers now than the band was a year ago.

The work just now obviously returned to the position of pop rock, not to say that it is not good, but to say that its characteristics are not obvious, even if it is replaced by another band, there is no sense of disobedience. Isn't it inappropriate to make a name for yourself?

"Is this style suitable for us?"

A simple sentence, but it contains too much anxiety and hesitation.

Ollie's question made Maxim withdraw his chaotic thoughts for a while. After looking over it, he could put Fenghua Xueyue aside, and now he needs to focus on his work.

Compared to Ollie's cautiousness, Maxim's nervousness, and Cliff's concern, Ronan seemed calm and calm.

"Of course, it's a concern and something that we have to talk about as we work on the new album, and Ollie brings up a very interesting point."

Ronan first gave affirmation, and opened his heart to welcome the collision of different opinions, but he shrugged slightly, but he didn't seem nervous.

"The album 'Seven' has brought too much success. It can be said that it has made us who we are today, so we must not ignore it when creating a new album. However, in my opinion, whether it is the continuation of 'Seven' Style, or break the 'seven' style, the burden of this success is an objective existence."

“Among our peers, faced with similar situations, those who chose to be conservative and continue the style were criticized for not thinking ahead and unable to surpass the previous work and were submerged in the trend. They chose to break through the framework but were too risky and too risky because of the huge pressure. There are not a few people who completely lose their own style because of innovation."

"Even if it was Queen, the Beatles, Michael Jackson, they would have the same problem if they tried to write a new album after reaching their peak."

Recently, Ronan has been reading books, listening to music, and enjoying movies. In fact, he is not on vacation, but swimming in artistic creations in different fields to find creative inspiration. He even went to art galleries and museums to appreciate arts such as painting and sculpture.

It is precisely because of this that when paparazzi follow, you can see Ronan reading a collection of poems on the beach, or going to an art gallery to appreciate works.

This is definitely not acting.

Ronan doesn't have that kind of free time to change his routine for paparazzi,

All of them draw different creative inspirations.

The brilliance of "Seven" is both glory and pressure. Ronan is very, very clear about this; but if you are too obsessed with the pressure brought by the previous work, you may lose the original intention of the creation itself and break through for the sake of breakthrough. Trapped in a catastrophic predicament.

"I do think we should forget about the success of the previous album for a moment and go back to New Orleans, or before we met Scooter."

Ronan's words made Maxim frowned, "What are you talking about?"

Ronan laughed heartily.

"Sorry, I'm starting to speak human language now." Ronan was still in the mood to tease himself, which made Ollie and Cliff both chuckle, and Maxim rolled his eyes speechlessly: He is very anxious now , okay? Not in the mood for a joke.

Ronan raised his hands in a gesture of surrender to express his apology, but there was still a smile in his eyes.

"I mean, start from scratch."

"Forget about the style of 'Seven' for the time being, there is no need to use the framework of 'Seven' to limit your creative thinking because of the success of 'Seven', we still return to New Orleans, collide with ideas one by one, and see what can happen What kind of chemical reaction, and then find out the framework of the new album."

Perhaps, it is innovation, breaking the album style of "Seven" again, presenting a new look of the king for a day.

Perhaps, it is a continuation, extending more masterpieces of the same type based on the inspiration of "Seven".

Perhaps, it is an expansion, trying to mix more novel elements on the basis of adhering to the original style.

Simply put, start from scratch.

Of course, Ronan knew it was going to be very, very difficult for all four of them, but at least it was a start.

"In a sense, Maxim took the first step."

"His attempt is still his usual style, just like in New Orleans. If it was three months ago, I would like this song, but I don't want the king for a day to perform this song."

Maxim rolled his eyes greatly, "Ronan Cooper, I don't like the condescending tone of your words."

Ollie looked thoughtful, with different thoughts surging in his mind.

Ronan laughed softly, and nodded to Maxim, "I agree, I don't like my tone." Such an honest response made it difficult for Maxim to say anything, "But it is also because of this, I also realized that Maxim is part of our band and we shouldn't draw boundaries to limit our style."

"I think the focus should be, number one, how is the song itself, good? Bad? Like? Don't like?"

"Second, what theme and route are we going to take for our new album, is this song suitable? Can it be included?"

Having said that, the mind gradually opened up.

"The second point requires us to discuss and explore slowly. Obviously, it is impractical to rely on today's brainstorming to complete it. Then it is better to look at the first point first, discuss the facts, and examine this work from an objective perspective. "

"So, what do you guys think?"

On the road of creation, Ronan, like other members of the band, is still learning and growing, and no one is an absolute authority.

The Beatles were in full swing back then, but everyone knew Paul McCartney and John Lennon, but very few people paid attention to the other two members, and many people even couldn't name the other two members; But Ronan doesn't think of himself as Paul or John, and the King for a Day isn't a Beatle.

They should create together.

Therefore, Ronan very much welcomes Maxim and even Cliff to participate in the creation of the band. Relying only on him and Ollie, things will definitely be more difficult.

For Ronan, he also hopes that he can absorb more energy from the collision of different inspirations, and complete growth and transformation step by step; of course, in the overall production of the album, he is still at the helm, grasping the direction— —

They need to keep trying and taking risks. The album "Seven" was born out of constant collisions, and the same is true for the new album now.

Ronan is serious about this, he has no intention of doing everything, and he doesn't think that he alone can represent the entire band.
