Artist : S.H.E Song : Bu Xiang Zhang Da (Don't Wanna Grow Up) Genre : Pop Language : Mandarin Preview : Song Review : What a cute song ! It juz brings out the kid in me. Latest offering from the ever so cute Hebe, Selina, and Ella...errrrrr....minus the gothic doll-like make up :)
Artist : Janice Wei Lan Song : In Love Again Genre : Ballad Language : English Preview : Song Review : This Chinese-Filipino-Korean mix has been raised in HK, but she attended schooling in an international school. For months, Janice has remained a mystery to all. There were no pictures of her floating around. The company wanted her voice to target the audience and not her image. Only her voice can be heard through the radio until ...now. Great voice indeed !!!
Artist : Friday Hill Song : Baby Goodbye Genre : Slow Alternative Language : English Preview : SongLyrics Review : OMG, this song is like so unique. It has ballad, pop, rnb, rap and alternative all blended together. Formed from the ashes of Blazin Squad, the trio is definitely catching my attention.
Artist : Amiel Song : Love Song Genre : Pop Language : English Preview : SongLyrics Review : This platinum-selling single is about a guy Amiel took out on a few dates, but never went anywhere, and all she had left was another love song, another 'f-cking love song'.
Artist : Kai Song : Every Little Thing Genre : Ballad Language : English Preview : SongLyrics Review : The vocal quintet Kai was formed in 1992 and has since been delivering power ballads one after another. Way to go Asian Americans.
Artist : Westlife Song : Change Your Mind Genre : Pop Language : English Preview : SongLyrics Review : Latest from Westlife minus Brian McFadden. I usually love Westlife belting out those powerful ballads but their pop songs aren't very far behind. Relaxed, refreshed and bursting with energy, Westlife delivers this track superbly.
Artist : Sylvester Sim Song : Di Yi Ke Yuan Ying (The First Reason) Genre : Ballad Language : Mandarin Preview : Song Review : A follow up to his hit single. Quite a good effort.
Artist : Leon Lai Song : Good Day Genre : Pop Language : Mandarin Preview : Song Review : One of Canto-pop's absolute kings, Leon Lai returns with his latest Mandarin surprise called "Good Day". A very catchy tune.
Artist : Juno Mak Song : Gun Gun Yu Wai Genre : Pop Language : Mandarin Preview : Song Review : Juno is a much better singer than many of the other singers in the HK pop industry, but he gets little credit. His voice is smooth and pleasant to to the ear. Perfect for relaxing.
Artist : Jay Chou Song : Lang Man Shou Ji Genre : Pop Language : Mandarin Preview : Song Review : Songs about having a good time. Such a refreshing change from his normally sad numbers.
Artist : Jay Chou Song : Hei Se Mao Yi (Black Sweater) Genre : Ballad Language : Mandarin Preview : Song Review : I felt that this is the best song on the album. Full of emotion, simple lyrics and easy music.
Artist : Jay Chou Song : Ye Qu (Nocturnes) Genre : Ballad Language : Mandarin Preview : Song Review : Kind of a sad song if you were to watch the MV. A typical Jay Chou's song wich had me hooked on his work.
Artist : Alan Luo Zhi Xiang Song : Zi Wo Cui Mian (Self Hypnosis) Genre : Ballad Language : Mandarin Preview : Song Review : This track was Written by Alan's good friend and superstar Jay Chou to help him get over a recent tragic loss. By the way, in the MV, Alan hallucinates that he is Jay and even performs some of his friend's trademark movements.
Artist : Alan Ke You Lun Song : Ku Siau Bu De (Can't Cry or Laugh) Genre : Pop Language : Mandarin Preview : Song Review : Other than his hit single "Zero", this is his 2nd best song in the album. Give it up for 2005 best new artist.
Artist : Finch Song : Three Simple Words Genre : Rock Language : English Preview : SongLyrics Review : One of the first band I listened to which exposed me to punk/emo rock. And I was immediately hooked.
Artist : Sugarcult Song : Pretty Girl Genre : Punk Language : English Preview : SongLyrics Review : It's a unique song where the vocals chop and change from pop to more punkish throughout the song. One of their first songs that propelled them into mainstream exposure.
Artist : Allister Song : You Lied Genre : Punk Language : English Preview : SongLyrics Review : My fav from this chicago based band. A recommendation from a friend.
Artist : Lifehouse Song : Blind Genre : Slow Alternative Language : English Preview : SongLyrics Review : The acoustic guitar makes a pretty intro for "Blind". Overall, lifehouse seems to have turned down the amps and geared more towards romantic emo ballad. Strange but they sounds great !
Artist : Franz Ferdinand Song : Do You Want To Genre : Alternative Language : English Preview : SongLyrics Review : Influenced by 1980s post-punk and garage rock, you will either love or hate this Scottish Alternative band ! For me, I find it quite unique at the beginning but now, the repetitive choruses and fuzzy guitars buzz around me like a neurotic bee to the extent that you just want to say schew, go on get lost.
Artist : Big Brovaz Song : Favourite Things Genre : RnB Language : English Preview : SongLyrics Review : This large UK hip-hop outfit first came to my attention with their hitz song Baby Boy. This followup song is great ! The chorus is actually copied from "My Favourite Things" from "The Sound of Music" ??? I guess so...
Artist : Craig David Song : Don't Love You No More Genre : Pop Language : English Preview : SongLyrics Review : "Don't Love You No More" is a real pop/adult contemporary type of song. It's about a fading relationship and the woman in the song just one day said, "I Just Don't Love You No More." It's a sad story but a great song and people in strained relationships will be feeling this song.
Artist : Frankie J Song : More Than Words Genre : Ballad Language : English Preview : SongLyrics Review : It's tempting to label ex-Kumbia Kings vocalist Frankie J as Latin pop's answer to Usher. Both have smooth, supple voices; both smartly co-mingle R&B, hip-hop and radio-ready grooves; and both young men have a fondness for hats. But whereas Usher has a penchant for showbiz showboating, Frankie J lets his talent take center stage. This latest single cover from him is the best version of the song I've ever heard.
Artist : D-Side Song : Dear You Genre : Ballad Language : English Preview : SongLyrics Review : Latest boyband. OK.....I wouldn't want to comment much :)
Artist : Vienna Teng Song : The Tower Genre : Ballad Language : English Preview : SongLyrics Review : California native Vienna Teng draws comparison to Sarah McLachlan and Loreena McKennitt. It's not hard to see why when you have listened to her music. Beautiful piano playing with a voice to match.
Artist : Brad Paisley Song : Wrapped Around Genre : Country Language : English Preview : SongLyrics Review : Heard that he directed the MV of his song on his own. One of the feels good songs which attracted me to Country music.
Artist : Garth Brooks Song : Friends In Low Places Genre : Country Language : English Preview : SongLyrics Review : In case you are not aware, Garth Brooks is a superstar in the field of country music. This song is picked from his live CD. One thing I like about live songs is the fact that, when the singer lightly strum a few chords on his guitar at the beginning of some songs, the audiences will go ballistic because they recognize what song is going to be played. Oh.....how I missed going to concerts !!! :)
