--"The Boys" is a song by Teddy Riley, one of the world's top three producers.・・・
No matter what article you read, there is a tendency to emphasize that it is a song by Teddy Riley. However, from the point of view of Girls' Generation's fans, I feel that it is more important how these girls, who are Asian girls, can express this music he made.
As soon as I heard it, I felt that this music is American sound, American pop. At least it's not an Asian song. Asian Girls' Generation sings it. That reality is now being sent out to the world.
Suppose a new American singer debuts in America with this song.
"Will it sell?" "It's not a Zen question and answer, but it may or may not sell." If the sophisticated beats and powerful lyrics are in sync with the hearts of young Americans, it might sell well. At the very least, I feel that I have maintained the style of music that is loved in America.
However, I personally don't have a very strong impression of the song if I remove Girls' Generation. I also think that this kind of music was born and rotten in America.
"How about in Japan?" "Will it sell?" If it was sung by a new American singer, it probably wouldn't sell very well unless she could appeal to her singing ability and singing voice.
However, it's a different story when Girls' Generation, who has sophisticated singing and dancing skills, is singing.
If you compare "The Boys" and "Bad Girl", you may honestly like "Bad Girl" better. "Bad Girl" is a Japanese song, so the words are easy to hear. This is because it is good to be able to enjoy the melody line to the end, including their performance.
"The Boys" is a little different. The music doesn't make you feel at home, and the atmosphere is tense, whether listening to the song or watching the dance.
Then, according to your taste, does "The Boys" come under "Bad Girl"? "But that's not the case." As soon as I heard this music, I pre-ordered the CD.
Come to Japan and sing Japanese songs, then go to America and sing English songs.
This is because I felt the beauty and passion of the girls challenging American pop music that made my heart flutter.
The world of "The Boys" is full of Asian women's singing, dancing, beauty, and Asian sexiness.
I wonder how Americans will perceive such "Girls' Generation" music.
