Mermaids Song

Zhou Shen’s remarkable voice once again turns a song into a melodic feast. If you don’t know his body of work or interesting backstory, an Internet search will be rewarding. His voice is unique because of its unusual range from robust baritone to a high sweet soprano; both the high and low ranges are powerful and he can add an operatic quality when he wants. His “head” voice has a pure, sweet, ethereal quality. His “chest” voice is rich, strong, and full-bodied. His breathing technique is a pleasure. The videos show his charismatic stage presence. If you want to hear something beautiful, find the video of Zhou Shen singing “Big Fish” at a live concert. Almost at the end of the song, there’s a musical passage that people call “the tail of the fish.” Once you hear it, you’ll know why millions all over the world have listened to that moment over and over again. And, yes, I’m one of them.
