“Some people, some memories are like dreams. You don’t know whether they have existed.” This is Zhang Yanqi’s original intention of creating “Lonely Friend, Don’t Be Feared”. In today’s society, everyone’s answer is different for such a huge issue of loneliness. Zhang Yanqi chose to use music and melody to answer, so in the song he joked easily: If all the past is a lie, then Lonely friends, please don’t be afraid. Anxiety will grow white hair, and it will not answer if you don’t grow your mouth for a long time.
As the second song in the EP, Zhang Yanqi once again becomes a romantic hero, but this time he no longer chooses to move forward alone, but uses sound as a space-time shuttle machine to start a dance floor carnival that is blurred in time and space and difficult to distinguish between authenticity and falsehood.

Zhang Yanqi, who has always been serious in his musical expressions, did not choose to escape or resist when fighting the aggression of lonely emotions. Instead, he was relaxed physically and mentally. With music backtracking, he would take you back to the past with a relaxed, pleasant and catchy melody: haunting ears The side is the simplicity and fun of the 90s.
In the teaser video that has been exposed, he has fully demonstrated the content of his personal thoughts: the strong nostalgic retro pixel style game graphics, combined with the retro dance music style music of the 90s, directly brings people back to simple and happy childhood In the memory.
“Lonely friends, please don’t be afraid” adopts Synth-pop’s arrangement style. The funk-style electric guitar bass Solo and flexible synthesizer Bass take the Groove of this song to a whole new level. The synthesizer, the strong drums, and even the sound effect of a trace of tape deviation, Zhang Yanqi’s youthful Vocal narrated the story fragments in his memory. Equipped with retro-futurism, he used his strong rhythm and magnetic voice to pull everyone back to the neon city in the old days and dance with him.
“Awkward dance” with fun with music, loneliness can’t catch up with “me”

This time, “Lonely friends, please don’t be afraid” shot four groups of dance MVs, retro background, playful green screen, social animal elevator, social fear bar have all become Zhang Yanqi’s stage. Among them, the magical dance MV combined with animated green screen has the effect of driving away the worries of the times.

We don’t have to try to prove anything. It’s better to live in the moment, forget about worries, and find happiness.
