Character evaluation

Zhang Yu, who is based on the singing world as a creative artist, has a stable market sales and creation reputation since his debut. From "good intentions" to "hard words", from "news" to "moon and sun", he has explosive power and delicate emotion, which is the sign of "Yu style love song" (Northern online review).

Although life is not as crying and drama as Zhang Yu sings, every song of his seems to be able to piece together a certain period and a certain plot of yesterday (Beijing Entertainment News Review).

Although the trend of music has been changing with the coming of the new generation, Zhang Yu's writing style does not go with the tide, It seems that they are all like a mirror, reflecting their emotions and experiences. Listening to Zhang Yu's songs can let the depressed emotions vent, chew the taste of emotion, recall the suffering of emotion, and use love songs to satisfy people's love of seeking trouble with laughter in tears (Netease Entertainment review).
