"Big Brother is back!" This sentence is dedicated to Chen Boyu. In the past 4-5 years, I feel that Boyu Chen has fallen into a very strange position. At that time, he "sold warm men", "sold family topics", and "sold seclusion", and sang many popular works. But from a musical perspective, it seems to have reached a bottleneck, and there is a feeling of "I don't know what to sing". Then "53FPS" appeared. "53FPS" is an experiment that tests JASON's singing style and vocal emotions, and also tests the audience's listening ability. Sure enough, this approach is not suitable for Chen Boyu's audience. However, there was a huge change in Chen Boyu's singing style and voice. This change affected the way he sang in future recorded songs, including his earlier song "Be Worthy of Yourself" and this new song "You Have Me".

I heard the new song "You Me" at a concert a long time ago, and my eyes were already wet when I listened to it. When I came to the recorded version, I heard the details in the arrangement which was even more touching. The song opens with string music arranged by Cousin, which gives a warm feeling, like seeing the light. The melody of "You Me" is moving. The melody and arrangement may not be easy to hear as "very gentle and elegant", but you will feel the atmosphere of the song strongly, which is very suitable for the mood of the song. I like the electric guitar's entry in the chorus, which is refreshing and powerful. Combined with the drums and percussion, it makes the music of "I Am Here" more solid and pure. The song has a little band sound, but the band sound is not amplified in the mix. Instead, there are more strings because we don’t want it to be too harsh. This treatment has a gentleness and warmth in it, as if the singer is accompanying the audience.

The lyrics of Alan Tam are very touching, and the chorus has touched everyone's emotions. "Even if the sky falls, I can't ward off disaster for you" and "No matter how sad you are, I will accompany you to face the helplessness together." This presence is very real, and reminds me of what Charmaine Fong wrote a few years ago, "I know how sad you are." It makes people's eyes wet. Especially at the end of the transition, the line "Remember you are not alone" is very powerful, and combined with the arrangement of the song, that part is very moving. "Even if I'm scared, I won't leave and will share the dust with you." I have received your message, thank you.
.
Finally, I want to praise Chen Boyu's singing style. Compared with before, he is more persistent in hitting high notes. But after changing his singing style to "53FPS", his baritone singing is much cleaner and more stable. The legato and use of voice in the main songs "No Future", "Prevent Disasters for You" and "There's a Backstage Here" are rarely heard before. And the high notes in the latter part are no longer reached with great effort (please listen to the CD version of "Don't Be Afraid of Losing"). This time they are much more powerful and emotional.
.
"Big Brother is back!" The song selection and singing style all have a strong aura, and he finally found the way. So if a singer fails once in a year or two, don’t leave immediately. Wait a minute, he will gradually change.
