Alan Wake2, one of the nominees for this year's TGA Game of the Year award, has a very interesting plot setting: the protagonist is a suspense mystery, and every time he creates a plot, the scene actually happens in a parallel world.
Perhaps this is the perfect way to cut into Frannta's debut full-length ** "The Epitome of the Universe". This ** is a dramatic grand ball, Fannta sends out a signal, inviting the dancing soul to join in the appointment - the colorful universe, condensed ** soul shape;The colorful galaxy reflects people's joys, sorrows, and sorrows;The bizarre planet carries the seven emotions and six desires of people;A strange life brings together the light and darkness of people. Frannta creates these "parallel worlds" through **, and when ** works are completed, a new world is also created. And when the listener comes into contact with them, a new node is generated, and they may re-perceive the id and superego, triggering a shift from abstract to concrete thinking.
Next, please use headphones or speakers as an entrance to access the first ** model created by Fannta - the training data that feeds its growth is sci-fi, science fiction movies, magical reality and love;The language architecture adopts a rich genre such as disco, funk, blues, neo soul, contemporary r&b, **lyric, etc.
track 1.Masquerade
Starting with Intro's quirky sound design, Flornta has built up a "soundscape". The listener feels as if they are at the entrance of a ball, looking for the ** floating from afar. As the fat bass and retro synthesizers tease each other, you are instantly pulled into this dazzling main dance hall - after a disco-funk carnival, it turns out that life is a large dance party built on the ruins of reality, people put on (or are forced) masks, hide and deceive themselves, and numb the dance. The song calls on people to take off their masks and face themselves honestly, without living in a reality full of social issues such as stereotypes and sexism.
track 2.daydreaming
Continuing the artistic conception of the previous song, after the enthusiasm, slowly walk into the pool of thinking. Minimalist and crisp electronic breakbeats, rippling chillpads, slightly moist vocals and harmonies echo each other, and the song conjures up an ideal daydream. There, the evils and injustices of the real world come to naught, and people are filled with hope for the future.
track 3.Multi-verse
Frannta is the first single in full length. In the rhythm of R&B and Neo Soul, the vocal is relaxed, the keyboard is smart and jumping, and the wind music is elegant and vivid, rich in choreography, but without losing the natural and free and easy.
Life is like a long river where the multiverse meets, full of variables and full of ups and downs of stories. With countless "sometimes" to put forward the idea of life, chill vibe is about embracing tolerance and reconciliation in all aspects of self, and accepting the true self in order to face life bravely and not get lost in the long river.
track 4.Debbie Downer
The concise but rhythmic bass line, the clean and sharp guitar syncopation, echoing the cowbell and wah-wah guitar that appear in the lyrics...Fannta is very good at using sound effects to create an environment, and they use ** language to write witty narratives, and they also serve the core of the song's expression - Debbie Downer is a character in the skit of the American TV show SNL, known for her untimely discussion of frustrating topics, meanness, and a broken mouth. This is extended to those who have low emotional intelligence on social networks and attack others at will
track 5.Forbidden Fruit
Funnta blends the strong rhythm of New Jack Swing with the Hong Kong-style dance tunes of the last century, making people feel like dancing and reminiscing about the old days. At the same time, Fannta discussed current issues from their perspective, attacking the impetuousness of the entertainment industry and the strange posture of its followers.
track 6.password
Netflix has officially issued a slogan: love is sharing a passwordThis pun was captured as inspiration by the band. Interestingly, the song was recorded live unplugged, playing the acoustic guitar of Blues with room reverberation, and the lead singer singing as if he was sitting on the couch opposite the listener for a simple and natural live performance and a warm and relaxing confession.
track 7.DICE (Game of Probability).
Under the rhythm of hip-hop, the continuous synthesizer winding sensual vocals are lit up with the stage lights, all revealing the atmosphere of indulgence and lust in the whole song, and these emotions are full of imagination in the space made up by the arrangement. Love or a game of probability, be brave and roll that dice!
track 8.The Mist
Pure guitar playing, interlude. Carrying on the previous track with a state of divergent nothingness, and also as a transition to the next track - each of our bets does not necessarily end in the jackpot;On the way to find love, you may encounter a mirage-like labyrinth, lose yourself in nothingness, and fall into the trap of self-anesthesia......
track 9.ephemera (mayfly meteor).
This song places the imagination of love in the vast starry sky, and the so-called love that people are struggling to pursue may be as small as a mayfly dying in the twilight of life, like a meteor crossing the deep sky, and the stars are fleeting.
track 10.parallel
* The lyrical narrative follows the synthesizer into the dream, and the "sound atmosphere" of attachment and reluctance also constitutes the particles of the dream. These particles ripple with the syncopated drums and guitars, smudged by the chromatic keyboards. In terms of vocal design, the two vocal melodies of high and low also form a counterpoint parallel, forming a perceptual echo with the core of the story in the surreal space of sound effect projection, and also alluding to the long-cherished wish of "birds and fish" in the story.
track 11.Love Anthem
Love Anthem continues the same treatment as in Track6, with Acoustic Live recording. The advantage of this approach is that it inadvertently brings the creator closer to the listener. The acoustic instruments intertwine and resonate harmoniously, warmly and joyfully conveying the importance of the ability to love before loving others.
track 12. 「we are fannta」
At the end of the *, the band used the form of "radio broadcast" to string together the voices of the people who contributed to this **. I think everyone who hears this will smile and feel the intention and warmth of the band. Needless to say, what Fannta wants to say is in the song.
Fannta are a band that are adept at building fantasy worlds, and they project their own emotional signals on their debut full-length album "The Epitome of the Universe", which are parsed into their own bizarre cosmic spectrum with cyber dazzling and soul-filled grooves. The first ** invited Li Jiji to be the **producer** to jointly build a new universe of FANNTA.
Fannta rationally draws inspiration from her roots** and then injects emotional thinking into her neural network. Rather than pouring out viscous sugar water, or expounding on modern issues coldly, they find a critical point of balance, and reasonably intertwine the ** and the melody, providing a natural internal driving force for the "** model" they create.
