“人间小百灵”刘昊然，歌声让人上头！就要唱歌，我命由我不由天！
或许，你有幸听过百灵鸟的歌喉。那你一定喜欢刘昊然、龚俊、周也……等唱歌。
“星~辰~大海~ ”哎？我为什么发出了语音文字？
是不是脑海里有声音了？
“唱日出，唱日落，唱月升，唱星星闪烁~”
这句是不是也有声音了。
之前我一直不知道这首昊然弟弟的代表作名叫什么，总觉得就应该叫《唱日出》。想着要给大家分享，搜了一下，原来这首歌有自己的名字，《爱的季节》。
一起来听一下，前15秒就是昊然弟弟的美妙歌声哦~
太上头了！
长得帅，头脑好，会演戏，竟然还会唱歌！天哪，还有没有天理了？
好了，斯道普！
说实话，昊然弟弟唱歌其实真的还可以（我真的真的是真心的）。他应该属于那种唱歌有自己的调的人。前几遍听，会感觉很快乐，听的遍数多了，甚至觉得还蛮好听的（可能是我滤镜太厚，也可能是上头了）。
董子健：为什么刘昊然唱歌那么难听，还要再唱
刘昊然：我命由我不由天
确实，那两首代表作《星辰大海》《唱日出》都是被邀请唱的。
昊然弟弟还在综艺节目里说，有音乐综艺找他去当导师，他拒绝了……
其实我还蛮期待出现在音乐综艺里的刘昊然呢。
一张帅照结束闲聊~

If you pay close attention, you can hear it: there’ s a new lushness in the opening banjo twangs, and an extra beat when she sings the lyric “Just say yes.” But the difference between the 2008 version of Taylor Swift’ s “Love Story,” which helped propel Swift to pop stardom, and the 2021 re-release of that same song is pretty subtle. Called “Taylor’ s Version” on streaming platforms, the new mix will soon be followed by re-recordings of Swift’ s back catalog, beginning with the rest of her album Fearless, which arrives April 9.
如果你仔细听，就能听到：开头的班卓琴音中有一种新的活力，而且当她唱到“Just say yes.”时，又多了一拍。2008年版的 Love Story 帮助斯威夫特成为流行歌手，但是这首歌与2021年再次发行的同一首歌重置版之间有非常微妙区别。这首新混音在流媒体平台上被称为“泰勒版”，之后将会和其他歌一起录制到重置版《Fearless (Taylor's Version)》，于4月9日发行。
In all these re-recordings, the lyrics and production haven’ t changed that much: it’ s Swift’ s business that’ s shifted. Now 31, Swift has gone full indie pop — as shown by her Grammy-winning turn on her recent album Folklore. But beneath those dreamy soundscapes is an artist who’ s been fighting for years now to manage the means, method of production, and distribution of her work.
在所有这些重新录制版的歌曲中，歌词和制作都没有改变太多：真正改变的是斯威夫特的生意。如今，31岁的斯威夫特已经完全走上独立流行乐之路，她最近的专辑《Folklore》获得了格莱美奖。但在这些梦幻般的声音背景之下，一位艺术家多年来一直在为管理她的作品的制作方法以及如何销售自己的作品而奋战。

Swift signed to Big Machine Records in 2005, a fresh-faced Nashville singer with a guitar and long blond hair. The contract expired in 2018 but not before she rocketed to radio-play heights with hits like “I Knew You Were Trouble” and crossed into the pop stratosphere with sold-out stadium tours over the course of six albums. When her deal was up, she switched labels to Universal’ s Republic Records. Big Machine owns the masters, or original recordings, of her first six albums, as is typical with many recording deals. In her new contract, Swift made sure to secure ownership of her future masters. Changing labels, carving outmore agency, updating contract terms—these steps are par for the course for a successful artist. People change, and so do the contracts that govern them.
2005年，斯威夫特签约了大机器唱片公司，这位年轻的纳什维尔歌手手拿吉他，留着金色长发。2018年合约到期，但在此之前，她凭借《I Knew You Were Trouble》等热门单曲在电台播放中飙升，并凭借六张专辑的体育场巡演门票售罄，跻身流行音乐的巅峰。合约结束后，她转投环球唱片公司的共和唱片公司。大机器唱片公司拥有她前六张专辑的母版或原始唱片，这在许多唱片交易合约中是很常见的。在她的新合同中，斯威夫特确保了她对未来母版唱片的所有权。更换唱片公司，开拓更多的代理人，更新合同条款——这些步骤对一个成功的艺术家来说都是意料之中的事情。人会变，约束人的合同也会变。

But Swift’ s Behind-the-Scenes moves became front-page news when Big Machine sold to private-equity group Ithaca Holdings, an entity owned by powerhouse music manager Scooter Braun. He then sold her masters to another company, Shamrock Holdings, for a reported $300million in 2019. On a business level, Braun’ s move was smart: Swift’ s master recordings reap profits whenever the songs are streamed or bought. On the personal front, it was contentious: Swift claims Braun, who manages stars like Kanye West and Justin Bieber, has repeatedly bullied her, and so she slammed the sale publicly and promised to rerecord those original six albums, this time with the masters under her own control. Anyone who hits play on an old version of Swift’ s early songs right now will still pay into the bank of Braun. But her hope, it seems, is to override those archival works with these new versions. “Artists should own their own work for so many reasons,” she wrote in a March 2021 Instagram post. “But the most screamingly obvious one is that the artist is the only one who really knows that body of work.”
但是，当大机器唱片公司将斯威夫特的歌曲版权卖给了私募股权集团伊萨卡控股公司（一家由音乐巨头斯库特·布劳恩拥有的公司）后，斯威夫特的幕后活动成了头条新闻。然后，他在2019年以3亿美元的价格将她的版权又卖给了另一家公司，三叶草控股。在商业层面上，布劳恩的举动是明智的：只要歌曲被流媒体播放或被购买，斯威夫特的主录音就能获利。但在个人方面，这是有争议的：斯威夫特宣称，作为坎耶·韦斯特和贾斯汀·比伯等明星的经纪人，布劳恩多次欺哄她，所以她公开抨击了这次的销售活动，并承诺将重新录制原来的六张专辑，这次地专辑版权归她自己所有。现在，任何点击播放斯威夫特早期歌曲的老版本的人仍将支付给布劳恩的银行账户。但她希望的是，用这些新版本取代那些旧版本。“出于多种原因，艺术家应该拥有自己的作品，”她在2021年3月的Instagram帖子中写道。“但最明显的一个原因是，艺术家是唯一真正了解这一作品的人。”

Every musician is a business, a startup with limited equity to portion out to labels, publishers and other stakeholders. Greater equity was the central consideration of Swift’ s label change—along with greater certainty that all who contributed to making the art itself would benefit from their work. “There was one condition that meant more to me than any other deal point,” she wrote at the time: ensuring that profits from the future sale of Spotify shares would be returned to artists.
每个音乐家都是一个企业，一个拥有有限的股权的初创企业，股权可以分配给唱片公司、出版商和其他利益相关者。斯威夫特更换唱片公司的核心考虑因素是更大的公平性，同时也要更确定所有为艺术本身做出贡献的人都将从他们的工作中受益。“有一个条件对我来说比其他任何签约条件都重要，”她当时写道：确保未来出售Spotify股票的利润将返还给艺人。
That this financial nitty-gritty is what excited Swift most might seem at odds with her image as a singer-songwriter who performs on sets that look like a cottage in a fairy-tale forest. But that persona hides Swift’ s savvy: she’ s long understood that artists, even those with brands as powerful as hers, are vulnerable to exploitation.
最让斯威夫特兴奋的可能是财务上的细节，这可能与她作为创作型歌手的形象不符，她本应是一个在童话森林的小木屋里的表演者。但这一形象掩盖了斯威夫特的精明：她很早就明白，艺术家，即使是那些像她一样拥有强大品牌效应的艺术家，也很容易被利用。
