Umm… I know this is not really a complete album to be reviewed. I cannot help but tempted to. I would agree more if they are known as a collaboration rather than a new group. When the media reported that Kangta 安七炫 (An Qi Xuan) and Vanness 吴建豪 (Wu Jian Hao) are going to work [...]

When I first got to know that Angela Chang Shao Han is going to have her debut album, my first impression was like – “What again!? Another bubblegum Taiwanese actress-turned-singer?” However, her first single, 寓言 (Yu Yan / Fable) did really blow me off. I finally realized my mistake of judging a book from its [...]
