Leehom Wang: Heart Beat
What is most appreciated in this album is how all the songs are performed entirely by Leehom. Meaning, from the instruments to the final mixes, it's all to Leehom's discretion. This further shows just how serious he takes his music and how dedicated he is to his craft. Even if the album doesn't win you over, his sincerity will.

Saturday, April 5, 2008
Valen Hsu is back, not just back with a new album but back to her own element, back to what she’s good at. She was one of my favourite female singers back in the 90’s. Her gentle soothing voice was one of the best in the industry at that time. But now in the 21st century, [...]

Saturday, October 20, 2007
Back when, in a time when I was still trying out all sorts of music, I came across A-Yue (back then Zhang Zhen Yue was printed on the album covers instead of A-Yue). Immediately I liked him. Almost reminding me of Eminem, not in terms of music per se but the attitude he puts in [...]

How is this album different from previous? It’s very easy going, not much of the hip and the [...]

Friday, December 15, 2006
I was skeptical when this album came out. Sophomore albums seldom live up to their debut (Tong En’s debut was quite good). Furthermore, I’ve only heard one song played on the radio. So it was not until i borrowed my friend’s copy that i realised this album has potential. Tong En (didnt realise she is now [...]

I can still remember when i bought my first Penny album. it was her first album which came out in 1999. i just heard her first single on the radio and didnt know who she was, and just thought i gave her a try because i was bored. and now i own every album she’s [...]

Harlem Yu has probably been making music for about 20 years. And he’s really lucky that he can still make chart toppers today. To me, the reason is because he knows what the music listeners want. Everyone knows Harlem can write his own lyrics and compose his own music. but taking a look at this album, [...]
