Zhou Shen has 4 performances on the various new year gala, though not the main CCTV one this year, and then another one on Feb. 2, plus a few other new year related galas that already took place the last few days. I figure I'll roll all of those into one post after the new years. So for now, I'll just post up some other songs that are new and/or seasonally appropriate.
This is his newest release 《出场》, just came out on the 27th. One of the many many theme songs related to the winter olympics. (I remember collecting many many summer olympics songs back in 2008, lol.) This song feels a bit similar to 《无所畏惧》, and I found it to be quite catchy. Unfortunately, its scoring on Tencent's billboard has been affected by 《My Only》, which is splitting off the majority of the fan votes.

The song 《好好生活就是美好生活》 is also pretty appropriate for any new year. Unfortunately there isn't a good video of the original version on youtube, so here's the bilibili video.
The song 《时结》 is about traditional chinese holidays and also seasonally appropriate. I think I posted the live version of it already in the previous 王者荣耀 gala post. Here's the MV version.
Hm... there is also 《奔赴》, which was a... I dunno, is it called a remix? Basically, 人民日报 took one of Zhou Shen's popular OST songs and then rewrote the lyrics and had him sing it for this MV. Teeny bit political, but it is basically been remade to a patriotic song summarizing the nation in 2021 (or something).

Here's the live performance of the original song 《生活总该迎着光亮》 from a douyin gala (so again, no official version on youtube).
Let's see, what else... Oh, there is this song 《望》 which is the chinese new years theme for Alipay last year. (Unfortunately they didn't have a theme song this year, as if they did, Zhou Shen would've probably sang it like he did the for the last 2 years.) Very catchy song and became pretty popular on douyin, apparently.

And while I'm at it, CCTV posted up a new video of 《灯火里的中国》 earlier this month, still the same performance from last CNY, just with english subtitles.
Digging further back, I really like this performance of 《好花红》 from the 2019 Guizhou CNY. Zhou Shen doesn't often sing in the traditional style (民族歌). This is one of his few official performances in this style.
