Style and Jiangnan style are basically the same. Although Uncle Bird's new song is called a gentleman, it is full of irony in the design of posters and lyrics.
And "Jiangnan style" satirizes the luxurious life in Jiangnan, while "Gentleman" satirizes some devil wears prada (in the MV, all the bad things done by the protagonist are concentrated).
Gentleman continues the electronic dance style that Uncle Bird is good at, and it is still a mix of Korean and English. It describes the inner monologue of a vain man who thinks he is a gentleman. It is a work created by the team that created the myth of Jiangnan Style. However, the evaluation of foreign media is mixed. Uncle Bird once said in an interview that Gentleman would be a sequel to Jiangnan Style. "It's not just a sequel, it's still the same. PSY may be just a flash in the pan in the international music scene. " Maryland Porter, a famous American music critic, wrote in his column.
After hearing the new song, netizens and fans issued an evaluation of "changing the soup without changing the medicine". Some netizens said that "the prelude is like the old disco", and some commented that "the chorus part is too similar to Jiangnan Style, which is simply the reincarnation of Jiangnan."
Many domestic netizens, without exception, spit out that "they are all slow songs of ordinary nightclubs in the streets and alleys". "Would you really like to squeeze into the world of Divine Comedy and learn from Phoenix Legend first?" Juck Zhang, a musician who once wrote many divine comedy songs for Phoenix Legend, admits that this new song actually continues the level of Uncle Bird's electronic music: "It's just that the audience's expectations are too high, and the previous success cannot be replicated." However, some people plan to wait for the release of the MV before making an evaluation. It is reported that Li, the head of the dance troupe who created "Horse Riding Dance", is responsible for the dance in "Gentleman".
Different from the narrative rap of Jiangnan Style, the song Gentleman shows a unique rhythm and is more catchy. The recurring lyrics in "Gentleman" are "Do you know why you should be generous?" Do you know why you should be neat? If you know it or not, it will be blurred if you are confused. "This deeply touched the audience.
The music video of "Uncle Bird" Jae-Sang Park's new song "Gentleman" was released less than two days ago, and the hit rate on YouTube has exceeded 44.5 million times, setting a new record for YouTube's single-day hits.
