Khalil Fong - 15


With the beats of the first song I've realized one thing: gosh, I've really missed Khalil's voice! For me he's the King of Chinese RnB. Timberlake of Cpop - yeah, this one is good xD So make sure your speakers or headphones are loud enough to enjoy his voice and let's get started!
Anyways Khalil welcomes us after a long time with a long instrumental beginning and then with his perfect English - a wonderful song titled Gotta Make A Change. With the next song 曇花 comes a little surprise - not anything you've heard from him. Leaving me speechless. Starting from kinda retro/60s rock sound to modern RnB with the same guitar in the back changing the language from Mandarin to English. It was really something! And that's the exact moment when I looked up tino the net and found that this album will be guitar-driven. A big positive smile on my face! So 張永成(&Ghost Style) made me smile even more. Lots of guitar and perfect rap by Ghost Style mixed together all with a Khalil's voice sauce. On the other hand the next song is something more like Khalil. 因為你 is a nice and pretty RnB track with acoustic guitar and typical beats. Next one 情勝策略 is wonderful too. I'm not sure what is it the instrument they're playing in the back but I guess it's some kind of saxophone-like thing. Or something. Anyway just feel the rhythm! Great! Especially the ending which could be a little longer. 無菇朋友 is a little slower, another one with acoustic guitar in the background. So pretty! 自以為(&徐佳瑩) is kinda funny, actually. It starts really great with Khalil's vocal and then, suddenly, the vocal changes to Lala Shu. At first it was a big surprise since I didn't realize it was a duet. I like it a lot! 二人遊 surely is something to have a longer look at. Especially at the amazing guitar. Over isn't an English song but it doesn't matter since it's beautiful. I'm running out of words to praise him, I'm afraid ;D Back to the guitar with Take Me! I can't find word to describe how amazing the chorus sounds. Just wow! Something slower if you want - 好不容易. But surely it isn't just a ballad and you won't fall asleep. Closing the whole masterpiece - Over Reprise, an instrumental ;)
