Have you heard of a band where all four members are lead singers? Yes, it’s Anthem Lights, a band composed of four young men from Nashville, known as the ‘American Quality Male Group’. They gained popularity over a decade ago for their medley covers of hit songs, with their Best of 2012 having over 9 million collections and more than 80,000 comments on a single platform like NetEase Cloud. Their appeal to millions of fans is not just because they cover hit singles; they have the ability to precisely understand each song and skillfully re-create them, giving new life to the songs through their heavenly harmonies and simple acoustic accompaniment.
Apart from the highly anticipated Best of 20XX series every Christmas and New Year, they also have medley covers of their favorite singers and bands. Works by musicians such as One Direction, Justin Bieber, and Katy Perry have all been creatively re-imagined by them. Many musicals and music films are also sources of inspiration for them, with renowned titles like ‘The Greatest Showman’ and ‘Hamilton’ in their repertoire.
Of course, no musician can captivate millions of fans solely by covering songs; they also have many enjoyable original songs, such as ‘Love You Like the Movies’, which has over 1.5 million collections. In this song, they reference many classic scenes from well-known romantic films. How many can you identify when you listen carefully?
In the spring of 2025, these ‘harmony machines’ will visit China for the first time with their angelic voices and a single guitar, embarking on their inaugural China tour. Will you be there to sing along with them? The doors open on 03/28, Friday, with the show starting at 19:30. The exact duration of the performance will be determined on the spot.
