Joey Yung: Ten Most Wanted
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 [...]

The Flowers (Hua Er Yue Dui): Flowered Season Dynasty (Hua Ji Wang Chao)
As much as I hate to admit this, I still have to say that I love this band! Their song might sound unoriginal, but one cannot deny that their music is good and of top quality. 花儿乐队 (Hua Er Yue Dui / The Flowers) is a very popular boyband from Mainland China. They made their [...]

Angela Chang: Pandora
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 [...]

Endy Chow: Light (Gwong)
Some critics regarded him as the second Nicholas Tse as both of their music is of the same genre and their style of singing too. After two EPs released in Hong Kong, he finally had the chance to own his first album – 光 (Gwong). He is Endy 周国贤 (Chow Kok Yin or Zhou Guo [...]

Stephy Tang: Coloring Stephy
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 [...]

Wilfred Lau: Past & Present
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 [...]
