"FUTURE·LIVE" is comprised of 3 songs, each in a different style. This versatile musicality is what defines the new genre Jason Zhang created, Mix-Pop, which uses stylistic surprise to keep fans of many diverse genres engaged. After studying at the esteemed Berklee College of Music Jason Zhang used his knowledge of music to develop the new sound.

The lead song "Pretty White Lies" is a tribute to the golden age of the 1980’s which has been inspirational to Jason Zhang.

Jason Zhang put a lot of thought and energy into the production of "Little White Lie." Auto-Tune (a favorite of Daft Punk) and analog sequencer effects reflect the 80’s aesthetic. Jason Zhang’s subtle use of the "build up" method in electronic music add modern flair. The lyrics, "Have you fallen out of love, love, love, love" provide a beat of their own while also providing the emotional core of the song.

The music video for "Pretty White Lie" is available now and was produced by Cannes Festival Bronze Lion Award-winning Korean filmmaker Flipevil. Shadow and light are used to create a dreamlike, reminiscent atmosphere and signature look for "Pretty White Lie."

The two supporting tracks "Millionaire" and "None Winners" are just as thoughtfully produced. "Millionaire" is produced by Red Triangle, the popular British electronic music production group. Jason Zhang blends an R&B articulation with Tropical House for a fresh take on electronic music.

The lyrics of "None Winners" were composed by producer Huang Shaofeng, well known for his work with Chinese band Mars Radio.
