Shara Lin (2012)
The one-man orchestra that has garnered collecvtively over 10 millions views by straddling a piano and a guzheng and playing them simultaneously , as well as playing a violin all in the space of one song has garnered much attention for her in the past year. I'm very excited for her debut album and hope that her voice will amaze me as much as her other various musical talents. Shara has shown her creative talent in other aspects within this album , through her extensive input especially with writing lyrics of many tracks within this album. However , her voice did not amaze me , and the songs still lack a little something. I hope that she can grow not just as a musician , but as a performer and develop her talents and her creativity to produce music which is truly her.

Cyndi Wang (2012)
named one of the five pop princesses of mandopop , Cyndi Wang has made a name for herself as the "teacher of sweetness" with her cotton candy cuteness and adorable poppy songs. However , of late her music has become tired to the public with her continuation of this theme , and this time around , she is finally going to do something about it. Gone is the cutesy image , and instead replaced with a mature and sexy image. She has been repackaged in her latest album as a ballad goddess . Seeing her success with previous ballads , it is what I would see as an easy transition musically speaking , but a change is change nevertheless. All I will say is , she is definitely no Fish Leong , but maybe , just maybe. We will just have to wait and see!

Wanting Qu (2012)
Album Name: Everything in the world
When I first listened to Wanting (yes , that is her real name translated from chinese) I was speechless for a little bit. I mean , she could actually turn out to be the next Tanya Chua. A musician at heart , with a whole range of english songs filled with emotion. Her wonderfully husky voice draws me in and captures the essence of each song with precision and a tinge of seductiveness. She's one I would look out for if I were you. One thing about this album is that her pronunciation in the english songs are not entirely accurate , and the lyrics arent awesome (little grammatical errors , a little awkward at parts). However if you really read the lyrics and hear her singing , the words and the music create an imperfect combination , which is so pure and heartfelt that It can't help but touch you so deeply. After being overwhelmed by her music on the whole , I was still hooked enough to buy the whole album. As she's a newbie and this is her first album , I hope that in her further pursuits she will only shine brighter and become more musically adept!

Angela chang: visible wings
Angela Chang : visible wings
After a three year break , we welcome angela
back to the music scene. But it is not the same angela from before , she has
grown and we see the change from <invisible wings> to <visible
wings> as a symbol of strength and persistence of Angela's uniqueness , she
is her and no one else. The first track , <that girl> shouts it out loud
and clear , angela "won't die a copy girl" using skillfully laid down
synthesiser beats to create a powerful and strong track. With Korean wonder
producer jae chong behind the helm for this album , we expect nothing less than
pure awesomeness. The second track <淋雨一直走＞<keep walking in the rain>is
one of my recent favourites , and is a track which emanates optimism and has an
uplifting aura in every nuance of this song. It is easy on the ear , and I love
the way three part and two part harmonies are used to create a fuller sound
during the chorus. The song also emphasises the ringing , clear quality of
Angela's voice , rather than the shrillness and range of it from previous
albums. It tells us to keep moving forward no matter rain or shine , and with
dreams , we should not be scared of pain or obstacles , a really deep and clear
message. <最近好吗＞(how have you been) is a chart topper , a heart breaking song
that instead emphasises the lilting quality of her voice. It has the usual
combination from many love songs , violins , strings and percussion but what
sets it apart from the rest is that it is done well. Great play on the dynamics
especially on Angela's vocals , and the emotive quality of her voice makes it
especially soul wrenching. The title track of the album ＜隐形翅膀＞(visible
wings) , written by band member of Sodagreen Wu Qing Feng is quietly uplifting
and inspiring , very much a signature quality of Qing fengs works.
＜我没改变> is another ballad with lyrics that are elaborate , but at the
same time easy to understand ; that one should not change for anyone but
themselves. The story of two lovers who should let go to free each other , but
to keep on believing in love. The melody is written by a member of F.I.R ,the
melody likable and soul wrenching. The next. Track , ＜讲不听＞ is a sassy ,
electronic dance inspired track smoothly arranged with a great beat. The lyrics
represent the essence of feminism ; impulse mixed with a hint of rebellion. Who
needs a man when you have this groovy track.
<honesty> is Angela's
attempt at an English track , and she fares splendidly. I have to say , I'm not
a fan of the English speaking part at the start , but I feel that the melody of
this song once again brings out that bell-like aspect of her voice and is
absolutely perfect for Angela. The lyrics are honest and straightforward , her
voice bringing out an atmosphere of insecurity and darkness.
<if I'm
the one for you> is a stripped down , relaxed track that is needed relief
from the heavy atmosphere of the previous track. It has a little bit of a bossa
nova feel to it .<王子病> is another electronically inspired track with a
similar theme to <讲不听> with an excellent beat to it , and brings out
another side of Angela that I haven't really seen before. Full on sassy attitude
. I like it.
The last track , ＜是我> is a real stunner. It shows off
Angela's high vocal range ; and is a truly great ending to a wonderful album.
Angela is proud of herself for who she is , and shows this to all her fans and
family. This album actually has a lot of input from Angela , who was able to
pick what kind of songs she wanted in this album , and what kind of theme she
wanted. Each single track in this album is a show stopper , and impresses me
with her honesty in showing truly who she is while producing inspiring works for
her fans . Well done Angela!
