Wang Leehom: Open Fire

I’m not a huge Leehom fan, but I used to have a friend who is a huge fan of Leehom and she was the one who introduced me to him, I think, a decade ago (Oops. Did I unintentionally reveal my age? Haha.) The first song I heard was 公轉自轉 (Revolution), I think. Throughout the [ READ MORE ]

Super Junior – M: Perfection

If not for better songs in the album, I was seriously considering not reviewing it. I’ve reviewed Super Junior-M since their debut. I watched them mature and grow throughout these few years. In 2008, I reviewed Me (迷), which left me wowed. Then, I questioned if Chinese and Taiwanese boy bands alike were ready for [ READ MORE ]

Derrick Hoh: Change

“Not having a distinguishing feature is my distinguishing feature (沒有特色就是我的特色),” declared Derrick Hoh. That was two years ago when I first interviewed him in Taiwan. I was still a journalism student at Chinese Culture University (中國文化大學) then. He was my school assignment. If any Derrick fans remember, Derrick sang on the streets of Taipei when [ READ MORE ]

Fahrenheit: So Hot

I have a love-hate relationship with Fahrenheit. While I always enjoy watching dramas which they star in, I don’t always enjoy their album and on most occasions, I don’t like their ‘live’ performances. That said, I must reiterate my previous statement now. These boys (men, if you’d like) improved by a huge margin. I would [ READ MORE ]

Rynn Lim: Dearest Bride

Rynn 林宇中 is a Malaysian singer under Ocean Butterflies, which makes him one of JJ Lin’s junior. I’ve always loved his voice, his songs, his lyrics. The simplicity in his melodies is like fresh air in this pop music industry where there is so much mixing, so much synthesizing. As for his lyrics, they are [ READ MORE ]

Nanquan Mama: Duelling Bach

A group often associated with Jay Chou since their debut, Nanquan Mama is now at their third generation. From the first 4-member group, then to the 4-member mixed group and now, they are left with Dantou and Yuhao, a 2-member group. I knew the existence of Nanquan Mama because of Jay Chou. While I liked [ READ MORE ]

Jay Chou: The Era

I’ve kept myself away from reviews, from Youtube, from virtually anyone who already has the album, from anyone who had listened to the album, before I actually listened to mine. Anyone following my Tumblr will know it has arrived this morning. The first thing I did was take out the lyrics book and flip to [ READ MORE ]

Every touching moment

People visit my blog for various reasons. Maybe you come here to see which new albums are worth listening. Maybe you’re checking if I had written reviews that were bad. Or maybe, because you just like what I’m giving you. Today, I’m going to introduce Singapore, or rather two songs from Singapore which I really [ READ MORE ]

S.H.E: SHERO

Hebe is definitely my hero. I like her tenacity, her honest personality and her attitude. She has a great voice, and a broad vocal range which is evident in S.H.E’s songs throughout the year. Huge fan, definitely. It helps when your mother is a huge fan of another member of the group. She sort of [ READ MORE ]

Cyndi Wang: Heart to Heart

I don’t know. What do you think of Cyndi Wang? She had finally been active for the past year, having acted in Momo Love, and released a Best Hits as well as a new album, Heart to Heart. It was because of one of my friends that I started listening to her. She was totally [ READ MORE ]
