Janice Wei Lan: My Love
What I can say about Janice Wei Lan’s voice is outstanding. She has the power to hit the high notes and yet does not crack her voice. I seldom take a liking on slow-motion songs but Janice made me hooked with her 十个他不如你一个 (Sap Go Ta But Yu Nei Yat Go). Just a simple description: [...]

MC HotDog: Wake Up
HotDog is back! After four years of (recording) silence, Taiwan's godfather of rap has returned to the scene with a full-length album (his first) and a vengeance; with this album, MC HotDog has proven himself to be everything Machi wish they were (except black) and then some. With beats that range from dance-pop style through rock to G-funk-influenced, a strong sense of humor, and definitely improved flow, Wake Up should, if there is any justice, see HotDog finally become the star he has always deserved to be.

However, nothing is ordinary about 趙默/Zhao Mo, who was born in Harbin, China, but moved to Beijing to pursue her dreams of musical stardom when she was just 16 years old. After [...]
