Rainie Yang: Meeting Love (Yu Shang Ai)
Her debut album wasn’t bad. However, this album left me disappointed. Out of 10 songs, I only like 5 of them. I’ll start with the week ones. Track 1, this is too bubblegum pop, boring and repetitive. The same goes to track 7. Track 9 sounds like a lame remixed song. I have to skip it everytime [...]

Two days before having his first concert in the most prestigious concert stadium in Hong Kong, Justin has his second album “No Protection” released.

Sunday, April 16, 2006
Joey is always one of my favorite female singers. Not only because she can sing very well, she’s also willing to try out new things. Troughout the years, we also see her emerge from a young girl to a superstar. It’s without doubt that she’s the most popular female singer now in Hong Kong. This album [...]

Monday, March 13, 2006
Even when the number of members of Cookies reduced from 9 to 4, I never remember any of their faces nor their voice. I do enjoy some of their songs, but that’s it. This album has actually changed my impression towards Stephy Tang Lai Yan, leader of the former girl band, Cookies. I’m not expecting a [...]

Monday, March 13, 2006
I decided to give this album a try when my friend introduced it to me. Wilfred Lau Hou Long is the winner of the Global Chinese Singing Contest in 1997. He has come a long way before he released his first album in 2004. Most of the songs in the album are easy-listening ballads, except for the [...]

Wednesday, February 8, 2006
I’ve been listening to their songs since their first EP. Along with their age, the style of their songs changes gradually throughout the years. Composition wise, lyrics wise, arrangement wise, this album is worth listening. “一时无两 Yi Shi Wu Liang”, the title song is a great one. It sounds like a circus song, catchy and lively, [...]

Sunday, January 22, 2006
The first time I heard his song “Erica” is from radio. I had no idea who the singer is but I love the song immediately. Before I know more about him, he has received the “best male newcomer” award in various music awards. Justin grew up in the United States. After coming back to Hong Kong, [...]
