Jane Zhang - Reform

And this is Jane Zhang! Wow, I wasn't expecting her new album so fast and I had a real nice surprise especially that Jane is one of my faves of all time!

She welcomes us with a beautiful and strong song 我的模樣. Rockish feeling, something that's never happened on her albums before. Maybe that's the whole change she suggested in the title? The second track 追愛 keeps the rocking but in a little different style. 出境入境 can be described as.. "totally relaxing". Such a pretty song! And a ballad is a must but I've always liked Jane's ballads. 錯就錯 is no different I like it but it somehow touched me. It's very beautiful. 為愛瘋狂 is a simple pop song just the way Jane'd do it. But there goes an upbeat song 大膽 - very catchy! The next one 愛就愛 is a ballad but not a classical one. I guess they call it R'n'B ballad but in fact they have nothing to do with R'n'B. But if you wanted a classical ballad with piano in the back and all the stuff here you have 有時候. 上一章 is pretty hard to describe. Not a ballad, not an upbeat song but something between. And finally titular 改變 which is really pretty piece. U just gotta hear it youself!

It's very recommendable to buy it. The release date is June 1 but that's the Chinese version. The Taiwanese one will be a little later. I have no idea what's the difference between those two versions except for the price. But I'd recommend to wait a while. Knowing Jane's company they'll release second Taiwanese version with DVD and all the cool stuff inside. So I'm going to wait for the second one since I didn't do it with the last album and I regretted it afterwards.

Have you ever had this thing that you adore one's voice but his songs aren't really good? So you just have to stick to those few good songs he has. But you dream that one day will come that you will listen to the whole album and say "that's it. I love it". That's my thing with Nicky. I love Nicky's voice, it's so uniqe. And I love his bio (Korean born, raised in US, now living in China - that's just too perfect!). His previous albums had few good songs. The rest was really boring. But then... 好玖, his new album came. I fell in love. I can't stop listening.
Thank you, Nicky.

Album starts with an awesome cover of Right Here Waiting. I couldn't stop myself from thinking that it's even better from Bryan Adam's version. Then next is 不愛了, which is a beautiful ballad. Just beautiful. 夏天 has a little faster pace and even some guitar. Wonderful. Probably you won't be surprised if I say that 最後的那一天 and 稱謂 are amazing too. And then comes No More Cryin' which can really surprise you. My favorite track here. Hard to say something about this song. It's just too perfect to say I guess. It ain't a ballad, yet it has some balladish feeling. 不一樣 is love. 他不夠愛妳 is the most wonderful way of saying "sorry". Who wouldn't forgive you after that, Nicky? And for the end - my song. Making Love Out of Nothing At All is a song used in Monga movie. I fell in love with this song when I first heard it. It's just... I dunno. So much better than the original. Nicky's voice makes it this way. Also, people were saying they don't like the second part of the song, cuz it spoils the whole feeling. I disagree. The second part, when guitars come is my favorite. Ridiculously amazing.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Hm, out of my endless laziness I won't do a review today but I'm gonna say a few words instead. Chinese-American radio host (mostly, she also does host TV shows and writes books and oh so many things) debuted with her first album in China.
The Last Radio Show mesmerized me. I haven't heard anything indiepop for a while and when I first heard Kelly's voice I was amazed. Wonderful and strong voice plus great music. From first to last.
One of my favorites is the titular song as well as Bored.

She wants to record an English album after this one - and I'm definitely looking forward to that. I'm sure it will be full of poetic lyrics and beautiful melodies.

Fricking recommendable.

Seriously, how can someone choose Vision out of so many beautiful English names? Dunno. When I first saw Vision I didn't know who's that. And then I read his name is Wei Chen and something was clearer. Then I got it. He had a song with Alan! That was it. When Alan released her Chinese album and there was song with him, I looked thru the net and searched a little bit about him.
If there is something to say about the album on the whole - there are two things. First, that there is a big medley of styles - everyone will find something good. Second that it's a good album.
The album starts with dance tunes of course - 千方百计. Very good song. Also as tradition continues the next song is a ballad - 我想爱. Not my cup of tea. But 向日葵的微笑 is much better with some guitar. Then some r'n'b 温存记忆 and another ballad 过客. Yeah, the ballads are boring. 酸酸甜甜 is better, but still... And again - rockish style in 女捕快. Great track. Some boredom with 流星雨又来临 and fast to my fave I Don't Cry. Simply amazing song. Skipping 疯人愿 which is another ballad to 二十三. It also is a ballad, but different this time. Listenable I guess. Enclosing - 梦的怒放. Ballad with pretty guitars. There's also a hidden track but it can remain hidden for me... They shouldn't give ballads as the last tracks. It makes you sleepy. Especially if you listen to it in the evening.
It may seem that I wrote so much about how boring the ballads are so the album isn't good. That's not true. The album IS good. The faster songs overshadowed ballads I guess. Coz I enjoyed the album. True, that when I listen to it I skip the ballads and I practically listen only one half of the album but... It's the better half and I like it.

Who has been waiting for Han Geng to debut in China with me? I'm not really a fan of Super Junior, but I do listen to Super Junior M sometimes. After Hang Geng left and released his My Logo single I thought it's gonna be a superb album. My Logo is really fricking good. But of course then goes 因为梦, which is boring as hell. Unfortunately it continues with 心疼·笔记本. You can say 给陌生人的情书 follows the trend too, but... this song I actually liked, dunno why. Finally changing the rhythm with 简单的人. Not fast, not slow either. Something you can hum and listen with pleasure but you probably won't get crazy about it. Another boring song is 爱的翅膀. Say No is also boring. Finally 女皇 can wakes me up! Dancing tunes, good actually. Not some pseudo-techno shit. 飞蛾扑火 is a little similar to My Logo. Same style I guess. Good also.

But really, I expected something way better.
Oh and I didn't see it, but the track mentioned above aren't in the right order so watch out.

Wow. She looks wonderful~! Give her a dress and let her hair grow and look how beautiful she can be.
That's just an amazing comeback. After first listening I knew this album isn't bad. Second I knew it's good. And now, after a few - I know it's great.
But that's mostly because of I Miss U Missing Me. It's a beauty! Seriously amazing and so is the mandarin version of this song - at the very end as a bonus track 一滴泪的距离. I can't decide which version is better. Kinda similar feeling has second track 鱼罐头. 单面镜 is a ballad here, but very pretty! Let's change the rhythm a bit and listen to very nice 恋爱料理. Another pretty song 时光机与流浪者. And now it'll be a little indie 星期三的信 with some guitar in the back. With 别装了 comes pop rock. U can hear guitars in the very first accord. Next goes 眼镜 and after that 二手歌. A ballad with r&b beat? Almost the end - Love & Life. Not an english one, but pretty as well. And bonus track I already mentioned in the beginning.

I tagged it as "pop" but that's not really pop. She mixed lots of genres with pop and I didn't really know how to tag it as, so I just went with pop.

I can't believe they're back O.o Even though I expected something different from this album, I'm happy that they're alive and keep on working.
Honestly, the album is full of ballads. Acoustic, rock, softer or harder. I don't see any sense in writing a review, since all ballads are kinda the same. Not that they sound the same, it's just... a ballad is a ballad for me XD
I'm not sure if they'll gain some new fans with this album... I hope they will. But for the people who already know them and like them I think they'll find this album pleasurable. Like I did.

And I absolutely love the cover.

I've heard that Isabelle is making a comeback soon. Don't know any details, but it's always like this with chinese releases. You don't know about them until you see them on the release day, lol. Unless it's a star like Jay Chou or someone.
I decided to review her first album that was released a couple years back in 2007.
Ahiba is the weirdest song here. I don't know it's just weird. I like it though. High歌 is another upbeat song where Isabelle shows us completely different side of her vocal skills than in Ahiba. And the first ballad here is 一个人想你, but it's not bad. I'd even say it's good. I have mixed feelings about 夜来香, she tried to give it an oldschool feeling but don't know if she succeeded. And then 抬头我大牌 is coming and it's another good song. Now to my favorite - 玫瑰玫瑰我爱你. Know that song? It's a very old chinese classic from 40s. Some of you may know it's original version, some the English version or... Joanna Wang's version (which is gorgeous) or none at all. Isabelle show us completely different interpretation. I like when singers do that. It's always somehow original. Titular track 痒 is kinda weird too. I liked 红眼睛, crazy song. And not really a ballad 软绵绵 but not sure how to call it. And 魔鬼身材, good r'n'b song.
Hope her new album will be as good as this one. I expect something really good from her! Also, I hope the rumors about new album are true.

Sorry, I didn't notice my tracklist was in a mess so the songs in review aren't in the right order.

I changed the download option. It was always a link to another site under the download pic. Now there's a link to the actual file. But there's always a credit so if u want to check out the site the file comes from just google the phrase that's written in credits.
I thought it's kinda tiring to come from one site to another just to download one file. Even though I did it to avoid unnecessary problems.

Remember that all the files come from another website, I don't upload them myself. Of course remember to delete them after 24 hrs, support the artist and all the bullshit u won't do but I have to say.
But actually supporting the artist is a good thing. Chinese/Taiwanese/HK editions are usually really pretty and have beautiful booklets. It's worth to buy if you like the album.

I've finally managed to download BOBO. My net sux lately and that's why I'm late. Sorry. I'm sure the ones of you who have been waiting for BOBO's new album already downloaded it, but since there're ppl who don't know them here's my review.
It's so hot outside and Let's BOBO is like a perfect song for hot summer days. But the verse "let's bobo like a laughing God" kinda makes me laugh too. That's just so lol. 全城热恋 didn't really fit my taste. Unfortunately the same goes to 我只在乎你 and 喜欢你 . But then 希望 is much better. And the next 毕业歌 isn't my thing either. On the other hand I liked 爱就爱 very much. Especially the background music. Also 哈皮bobo is a nice song. Not to mention absolutely positive and optimistic 停不了的快乐. Kinda rock'n'roll feeling, lol.
I expected something with less ballads. But faster songs make up for it.

I wanted to write a review for Kiya for some time now but I always forget XD So here it is.
Oh, by the way - isn't she a beauty?
I think you'll like Kiya Xu's album if you like Tibetan or Mongolian singer say Phoenix Legend , Sa Ding Ding or alan (her second album before she was "avexed" so much) for example. But it's not only for folk lovers, I think every cpop lover can find something for oneself here. I really, really love this album. When I heard it for the first time I couldn't stop playing this on replay a few times. I just love folk. And I think I'm gonna buy this album next time I'll do shopping on YA.
彩云之南 is a folk song that combines typical for chinese folk voices with hip hop. Or something like hip hop. And the next 向往 is a mixture of pop rock and folk. I wouldn't say it's possible until I've heard this one. Even though the beginning of 北京情人 may point at one boring ballad without any folk influence there is one, somewhere between the verses. And I like this ballad a lot. Ah, and again my favorite combination of folk and pop rock here in 情流感. I don't like when they don't mention who features in the song coz I don't know to who this beautiful voice in 火花 belongs to. Besides hers of course. This song is less folk oriented but I still love it. 苏州河 is a solo song this time. Folk ballad I guess. And another ballad is 半路, but I guarantee you won't fall asleep. It's too beautiful for that and that'd be a waste. Funny but this song reminds me of Teresa Teng I dunno why. Her voice in some particular moments really is similar to Teresa Teng's. 蓝色海风 is yet again a beautiful song from her. I like the ending parts of the song especially. A Jazz Nigh In Spring 春风沉醉的晚上 is exactly that at what it points at. A jazzy song. Oh, such a beauty! And then 美丽家园 comes. I like it but it could have some folk elements. Eleventh track is 念念不忘 and it's a very pretty song. And 坐上火车去拉萨 which means Going To Lhasa By Train is pure love. Again she mixes elements of different genres. 彩云之南 (悠扬版) is the last track. It's something mysteriously called "melodious version" but it's remixed first track. I'm not sure which version is better.

The sad thing is that this album is from 2007 year and still no hear from her. That's too bad, coz she has a real talent and there're too little folk singers. Interesting folk singers I mean.

Yi Xuan - Shihcyuan Stage Art

I'm sorry I've been so lazy lately and I'm late with updates but I just had no inspiration to write. Now I'm going with updates. Oh, lots of stuff.

Not really sure who Yi Xuan is but her Super Woman is a great song. Very upbeat with rapping parts. Pleasure listening. Then goes 爱你=距离 which is a ballad. I'm afraid most of ballads sound the same. I'll skip to the next song - 说说说说. Another upbeat rhythms. "Shuo shuo shuo shuo ai wo" is amazing :D It gets deeply in your head and you won't even notice when you'll be singing that along with her. 妈妈听我说 is neither ballad nor upbeat. I liked it. 你是我心中不能说出的秘密 sounds like a remix of some ballad honestly speaking XD 坚强 is a ballad and duet with... I don't know who XD 死了的爱 is another song that has those great rapping parts! Who's that? Great voice, I love that. And the song itself is very good in my opinion. 唯一的赞美 is the first pop rock song here. Verses sound like a ballad, but along with chorus the guitars go. And nice 唯一的赞美. 离开你是我的错 is a ballad with kinda folk feeling. Two instrumentals for the end.

I read about this band a long time ago, so I don't remember even a single thing besides that it's a two piece band from Mainland and the guy is French I think. And I didn't get interested in them at that time. I ask myself - why not?!
The only good word about this album would be: WOW. I'm kinda... shocked.
Last.fm calls it neo-electro-rock, whatever that means. I'd call it - awesome rocking. Wonderful discovery. Good guitars and voices. Beautiful melodies. Heavy positive rock. If you like chinese rock - this is for you.

So finally I made myself play and watch Hua Mulan. I've waited so long for this movie and when I got it I couldn't make myself get into this war mood and watch it. But I did and I have no regrets. I think it's amazing just as the soundtrack. And Jaycee acted so good, he's really talented. I think ppl should appreciate him more, coz he obviously lives in his dad's shadow. But I didn't drool at Jaycee only. There was also Chen Kun. Oh, gosh, srsly this guy is just... beautiful. Like woman. No, you can't call him hot, coz he's not. He's just beautiful and has this killing look and I'm kinda happy he lives so many miles away, so I won't bump at him on the street, coz I'm sure at the moment he'd look at me I'd die of heart attack. And I'm too young for that. But he doesn't only look great, but also acts so good and sings. I remember when his last album was released and I stared at the cover but didn't check it out. Why, oh why? But I did some time ago and it was the best decision I've made lately XD
As some of you probably already know I prefer upbeat rhythms or rock, rap and so on, but I mostly hate ballads. Not always, but it's very rare for me to like every ballad on an album. Actually the only artists who can make me listen to it are Leehom Wang, Peter Ho, Karen Mok and no one else I guess, but I could forget some. Anyways as almost every chinese album Aloys' Me is filled with ballads... that I actually liked. Here we go, we can celebrate ;D
Me or Mystery (I don't know why they translated it to me since 謎 means mystery, but that's the official version that is written on the cover) starts with 薔薇刑 an amazing and beautiful song with some strings and guitar in the back and the most amazing chorus I've heard in a long time. He doesn't have a strong voice but somehow he can sing it very good. And I've heard that 我們不愛了好嗎 is a remake of Gackt song but actually I have no idea which one. Anyways it's a beautiful ballad. Same goes to 琥珀. I truly admire him. Actually 我一個人記住就好 is good, but I think it's the weakest song here. But then we go to the titular song 謎. We start with a guitar from the very beginning and to the great chorus. Rockish but with his soft voice. That's amazing. And 愛你有多麼寂寞 is another ballad but it doesn't bother me. And I really liked 蝴蝶! For some reason it reminds me of that Mulan movie XD Now, let's go R&B (I guess) to 什麼都不留. Slow but still pretty ballad. 遇見你 and 鏡子 are another ballads. Pretty! And as a bonus track we have dance rhythms of 獨一無二 which I love. So cool~

Yes, it's the same Yu Yang that used to be in the legendary Tang Dynasty! Ah, this whole album is so good! I really enjoyed all songs here including that weird Intro. It's rare to hear that kind of rock nowadays. It has its oldschoold feeling while some modern elements are added as well. I like when oldschool rockers still continue to release albums with the same style. 路上的人永远在路上 is a great song with a beautiful guitar. Another beauty is 向远方. Coz today everything seems to remind me of something this also somehow reminds me of Peng Tang. But you don't have to agree, it's just my thought. And as for faster rhythms we've got 爱是野兽. Lovely! And this guitar, simply amazing. And again let's go little slower with 迷失在春天. I love it so much! 谁 is completely different than all the songs here. Weird beat in the background along with guitar. 来自另一个世界的电话 is good! Again, faster 简单朋友. 新的夜晚 is even more fast. Listen to that guitar solo somewhere in the middle. Instrumental 南锣鼓巷的夏天, but still amazing. And the last track - 这个夏天（2010版). Love, love, love. Unfortunately I haven't found any MVs, but here's something from his previous album so you can have the outlook on how it sounds like:

Gonna be rock today, coz I'm gonna post two notes about rock. First goes FUSION (FUSION樂團). Pretty boys reminds of some korean boyband but they're actually rocking all the way! I don't know if it's true or not but I heard they are produced by the same guy that produces Tizzy Bac. Mainland has lots of good rock bands, I love it. The Underground is just filled with them!
So for start we got 時光軸. In some moments they sound so indie. For example this song reminds me of Sodagreen, I dunno why. SummerRun starts so good, that nanana~ makes me sing it all the time. 我的愛呢 isn't that slow but on the other hand it has some mellow and soft rhythm. And the titular song 如果未來 is soooo Sodagreen! It's their style and even vocalist has little similar voice to Sodagreen's Greeny. One of my favorites here - 雞肋, but honestly saying most of songs here are written in one style. But I like that. Srsly the guy's appearance doesn't fit their music at all. Why such look? And the next track 好想對你說? Another great thing! 假設 is accompanied only by guitars and then after some time a little of beat is added, so indie! I remember I used to listen that music only, great times. I was afraid My Way would be another Sinatra's cover, but no, what a relief. Something more original, but still the same style. I like it and even the chorus is in English. Something like two verses, but always ^^ If you're already asleep then you can wake up while listening to 自由自在. Something fresh and faster. Pretty 誰 is next and the last track is 123 with A-Yue. The first track I've heard from them and I though the whole album is gonna be like that but I was kindly surprised even thought I still love this song.
Don't forget to check out their MVs first!

Hottie's coming back! ;D Newest album form Huang Xiaoming entitled MOOPA which is a shortcut from Move Party. Lol, I'd never guess.
The MV for title track is great ^O^ So is the song I really like that upbeat rhythm. As usual, album has lots of ballads and the next song is one - 風聲, but hey, I like it! His voice fits slower as well faster songs, that makes him even more fine. What I like about next ballad is its folk feeling. You can hear China's spirit in it. Not Alan's kind off feeling but nice too. Fourth song is 我的快樂不收費 which is one more dance track. Pretty addictive. It has soft beat so you don't have this weird feeling that it's another pseudo-techno thing like kpop likes to have recently. Ok, I can't believe that I actually liked this filled with ballads album, but I did! I can't not to fall under 你說的對's charm. Especially with that guitar! Is he another guy who's taking my heart with ballads right after Leehom, Peter Ho and Eason Chan (and someone else I'm sure but don't remember now)? Good for him ;D Next thing is duet with Vicky Zhao. She has weird voice here and I get the feeling that she's a bit unnecessary here. But the song itself is really good. Okay, the only classic ballad is 你在我心上 and it's the only song that didn't melt my heart. But don't worry here comes 受不了 to make you dance again. I love it! It also has that soft and sexy beat. And that rap part! 黑貓與牛奶 is cute. I can't find any appropriate word to describe this song. It has some underground indie feeling! I'd never expect that coming on this guy's album. And finally the last track T_T Too bad, I'd like to listen even more and more! But the last track is a remix of MOOPA. Contains rapping part and also some beatbox in the beginning. I like it.
He should consider being a part time singer more often ^^
The only thing that annoys me is its price without any additional MVs! If I buy it, it'd better have some really good photobook filled with Xiaoming's sexy photos, coz I'm gonna be really mad! Srlsy, for this price you can buy collection edition of Show Luo's new album and you get several MVs and some bonuses... Ugh, and what to buy now? And I'm still waiting for my Jane Zhang to deliver. Takes too long, ugh (>.<)
