Although Zhang Bichen,a 25-year-old songstress with a power?ful yet delicate voice,took the crown of The Voice of China in 2014? runnerup Parhat Halik,32. seems to have impressed more of the au?dience with his husky (沙ft的) ,natural and,most of all,distin?guished sound.

Despite his unmistakable voice,Parhat Halik's music is also special. General?ly,it's rock―but influenced and mixed by different styles within the genre. Read on and find out where Halik's music gets its inspiration.

Blues rock

 Representative artists：Guns N' Roses,The Rolling Stones,John Mayer Blues rock 

combines improvisation (即興創(chuàng)作) with rock 'n' roll style. It be?gan to develop in the mid-1960s in Britain and the US,when rock bands such as the Rolling Stones experimented with music from older African American blues musici?ans. It borrows the idea of instrumental combo (小型爵士樂隊) from blues but is played at a faster tempo and louder volume,distinguishing it from the blues. The sound is created with the electric guitar,piano,bass and drums.

As the root for several contemporary rock styles,such as heavy metal and hard rock,blues rock had a rebirth in the early 2000s,with artists including John Mayer and The Black Keys.

Folk rock

 Representative artists： Bob Dylan,Simon &. Garfunkel,The Byrds As the name indicates,folk rock is a genre combining elements of folk music and rock music. Also developed in the mid-1960s,folk rock was pioneered by the US band The Byrds,who began playing traditional folk music and Bob Dylanpenned material with rock instruments,in a style heavily influenced by The Beatles and other British bands.

The genre was most popular among teenagers and college students at the time,because it includes both rock 'n' roll's free spirit and the more serious,culturally authentic and socially aware sounds of folk music.

Soft rock

 Representative artists： Bryan Adams,Eagles,Elton John,James Blunt Compared to hard rock's loud and aggressive nature,soft rock,or light rock,uses the techniques of rock music to compose a softer and less threatening sound. De?rived from folk rock,it uses acoustic instruments (原聲樂器) and puts more empha?sis on melody and harmony.

Although the genre gets quite a bad name among hardcore rock fans,who see it as "wimpy"(軟弱無力) ，it doesn't mean soft rock is without merit (優(yōu)點) .Soft rock songs often deal with themes like romantic relationships and everyday life in a thoughtful and complex way that hard rock simply couldn't.
