Wang Lee Hom
Heroes of Earth (Gai Shi Ying Xiong)
Lee Hom’s promo tour in Malaysia just ended a few days ago. Hopefully this review came just in time for those who had met Lee Hom in person. This latest album by Lee Hom – “Heroes of earth” is definitely a surprise for all Lee Hom fans. Lee Hom again shows everyone his talent and passion in music. Combining eastern and western music elements together is no longer a special idea in Taiwan’s music industry. However, Lee Hom added the most classic Chinese music – “jing ju” 京剧 in this album, which makes it unique.
“Beside plum blossom” 在梅边started off with the classic “jing ju” 京剧. You will have the illusion of listening to the traditional Chinese tune until Lee Hom starts rapping. This song gives out a very smooth feeling as the tune is very lively. Credit has to be given to Lee Hom by promoting this Chinese classic to the whole world. The last part of this song is a perfect rap from Lee Hom and ended a very typical “jing ju” 京剧way.
“Flower field wrong” 花田错is one of the hits songs you could easily listen from the radio stations (even from English radio stations!). There are quite a number of musical instruments used in this song and gives out a very pleasant feeling to listen to. “Heroes of earth” 盖世英雄 is the song that Lee Hom uses to promote his hard work in this album. Lee Hom added English and Cantonese lyrics in this song. If you pay attention to the lyrics, he mentioned that he added “jing ju” 京剧 and Hip hop in his music.
“Kiss Goodbye” is a very Lee Hom style of sad love song. It brings a similar feeling of one of his classic songs “The only one” 唯一. The melancholic tune and the touching lyrics have made this song a favorite pick in KTV. Another surprise in this album would be the interaction between Lee Hom and Rain. Few could predict the chances of Lee Hom having a duet with this Korean Popular idol. The good relationship between Lee Hom and Rain’s producer is the major factor Rain was successfully invited. Apart from writing the lyrics and tune, Lee Hom is also the producer of this song “Perfect Interaction” 完美的互动
“Big city small love” 大城小爱is my favorite song in this album. It is a very sentimental song, put in a very relaxed tune. You will easily sing along with this song. The lyrics are simple and direct, a very important factor for love song to get popular among fans. This is indeed a perfect song for anyone to dedicate to their loved ones. Other songs in this album include, “First Morning” 第一个清晨, “Brothers” 哥儿们, “Move Away” 让开 and “Love, because in my heart” 爱，因为在心中.
The overwhelming market reaction shows that Lee Hom had started a revolution in the Chinese music industry by adding different music elements in this album. Despite introducing different music elements, Lee Hom still preserve his unique way of singing and his own style. Whether this album would land Lee Hom the “Best male singer” in the next Taiwan’s “Golden Music Award” is still a question mark. However let us give Lee Hom the deepest blessing. With the success of this album, we definitely could anticipate more from Lee Hom’s future albums!
1. “Beside plum blossom” 在梅边 (zai mei bian)
2. “Flower field wrong” 花田错 (hua tian cuo)

5. “Perfect Interaction” 完美的互动 (wan mei de hu dong)
6. “Big city small love” 大城小爱 (da cheng xiao ai)

Am I the only one who felt Rang Kai is the most incredible song on there?
Mar 25th, 2006
Juicena
Lee hom is always outstanding!Though he has talent,he’s still deligent,I appreciate him pretty much!
I love “kiss goodbye” most,it seems to be the only low-tempo song.I’m always crazy about his fantastic voice~~
Mar 25th, 2006
Tanti
No, quadshock. I, too, very much agree with you. Rang Kai is the most incredible song in this album.
Mar 25th, 2006
Del
Yep. like i said, i didnt acknowledge Rang Kai until i really really listen to it and realise what he’s done with it and how he produced it.

Does anyone know if this album is available in the States? I heard about it through some kids in my Chinese class and then again here but have no idea where to get it.

leehom has not be my favourite singer at any time and because of this, i dont really enjoy his songs. well, i cant deny his talent and impact in the chinese music industry though.
my favourite songs here is 花田错 although i hate the 京剧 (jing ju) at the end. it gives me sorta creeps… so far, my favourite song from him is 心中的日月 [Xin Zhong De Ri Yue].
anyway, i’ll try my best to listen again to this album and hopefully a song or two can make me change my mind. :)
Apr 7th, 2006
Amber
oops… i think i’ve made some mistake in the title above. it should be 在梅边 (Zai Mei Bian). guess this shows that how much i’m ignorant to leehom’s music….
:( *sad sad*

For all you guys in the USA who want to find this, it is available on iTunes. Search for Leehom Wang, because any other name typed into iTunes’ search field (wang lee hom, wang li hong) will not come up with anything. Just his album Heroes of Earth is available on iTunes at the moment.

It would be very hard for me to explain at how much this album has changed my views toward Chinese music.

I loved the 京剧(jing1ju4: a type of chinese opera) element consistently present in 花田錯(hua tian cuo), it being a modern twist to the usual 京剧 we see being played on tv at ungodly hours during our childhood years. The insert was very refreshing and did indeed increase my awareness and curiosity towards this unique chinese art form that was said to be a dying trade. Other delectable samplings include the seamless fusion of western-hip-hop and mando-pop in 完美的互動(wan mei de hu dong) and 蓋世英雄(gai shi ying xiong). He does make it seem so..easy. I was surprised by these songs. Another of my favourites will be “Kiss Goodbye”, a song which, its title suggests, chronicles the pain of having to say goodbye to a loved one. It’s a melancholic, thought-provoking piece, in part due to the lyrical content. Though it won’t be particularly exciting to those familar with mando-pop, it is still a very well written song with a melody that seems to tug at your heart. And I say this because mando-pop, in general, is more consistent with slow melancholic pieces, or at the other end of the spectrum, fast energy rocking ones, with some exceptions. If you enjoyed the fusion of Eastern and Western in this album, you might like to check out works by Jay Chou, Machi, and more recently, S.H.E. Though, after listening to them all, I’m sticking with Lee Hom. =D

Although I’m a Jay’s fan but I must admit LeeHom is much more handsome and has a better vocal. However, Jay’s songs are nicer to hear o…^^ In this album, I prefer Kiss goodbye.. What a nice song.
