Recent OSTs
Jul. 19th, 2021 08:50 pmBack to more Zhou Shen songs this time. His newest release is 《江湖缘起》, an OST for the game 《剑侠情缘网络版叁》 (aka 《剑网3》 aka JX Online 3).
Technically, it's the main theme song for the new server the game is putting out, which seems to be a roll back of the storyline to the original launch, but now with more modern mechanics and stuff. (Kinda like if they made Guild Wars with the Pre-searing storyline and GW2 game mechanics, I guess?) Now, I've not played this game myself, but I have actually read a lot of fanfic based on the game or crossed over with the game, and I even have a pretty big collection of previous OSTs for it, so...I feel very familiar with its elements, lol.

It's a little special this time because he's also listed as the sole producer for the song (previously, he's been listed as co-producer of a few songs before). Guess he felt confident with the role since he supposedly played the game when it was first released, haha. Also, there's an interesting reaction video by the composer of the song, where she gives some interesting behind the scenes tidbits about how an OST is made.
And while I'm here, here's another OST 《问花》 that was release just a day before the above. This is the main theme of an animated film 《白蛇2:青蛇劫起》, and it looks pretty cool. The first movie that preceded it 《白蛇:缘起》, seems to be highly rated, and is also available on Google Play Movies, Amazon Prime, etc. (And yes, ZS also sang one of the promotional songs for this movie.) Maybe I should watch it one of these days...
Then the week before that, there was yet another OST 《跳舞的月光》 released the week before. This one is the main theme of a movie about high school dance, it seems? Anyway, the melody is definitely fitting to be danced to. (ZS's fans are already lamenting (yet again) about having to split votes among the various music app boards. =P)
