Ledisi - Turn Me Loose

Great Neo-Soul album.

Ledisi was able to secure some of urban music's most respected producers, including Grammy® winners Raphael Saadiq and Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. She also reunited with producer Rex Rideout, who contributed greatly to the sound of Lost & Found. But for Turn Me Loose, Ledisi didn't want to play it safe. With help from the four other producers (Ivan & Carvin, Chief Xcel, Chucky Thompson & Fyre Dept), the artist braided brilliant strains of the different sounds she loved while growing up in Oakland, Calif. Rock, blues, classic soul, funk and hip-hop are all fused together throughout Turn Me Loose. Ledisi often merges the old with the new. The funky title track, for instance, updates the sassy grooves of vintage Stax. As a tribute to Buddy Miles, Ledisi does a cover of "Them Changes" as a bonus track.

台灣金曲歌王陳奕迅首次挑戰台語歌,在2009年全新國語專輯《上五樓的快活》中演繹首支台語歌「我甲你」,由亂彈樂團主唱阿翔創作。此外,碟內亦多方邀 請創作歌手寫歌,有蔡健雅的「多少」、蘇打綠青峰的「這樣的一個麻煩」、范曉萱的「你為什麼哭了呢」、小安的「心的距離」,而Eason也特別創作了一首 新歌「給你」,呼籲珍惜地球的環保訊息。整張專輯主打「快活」主義,無論在選歌及演繹上,製作人林暐哲讓Eason可以自在地透過音樂記錄生活

Eason Chan's Don't Want to Let Go won Best Mandarin Album at the Golden Melody Awards last June, and he is to follow that victory up with his highly anticipated new Mandarin album in September 2009.

The album not only features Eason's own composition "For You", it also has songs tailor-made for him by other singer-songwriters, including Tanya Chua's "How Much", sodagreen vocalist Tsing Fong's "A Trouble Like This", Mavis Fan's "Why are You Crying", and Xiao An's "Heart's Distance". Another highlight would be Luantan frontman Ascent's Goa Kah Li for which Eason attempts the Taiwanese dialect for the first time!

Swing - 武當


It's probably the "Seven Year Itch". Since going separate ways in 2002, Eric Kwok and Jerald Chan have been exploring their own solo careers, but this year they decided to team up again as the beloved Canto-pop duo Swing. First they tested the water with a reunion concert in July, then formally return to the "martial world" of the Hong Kong music scene with their brand new album Wu Dang in September. This album comes with 10 new songs on the CD, including "Bread Life" (penned by Wyman Wong), Let It Go, and Swing's comeback single "I Have the Goods". The DVD is jam-packed with goodies too, carrying 4 music videos, 10 live performances from their recent concert (two of which were duets with "Pop Principal" Alan Tam), and lots of behind-the-scenes footage. (yesasia)

久達多時的香港創作組合 Swing,2009年終於宣佈復出並推出專輯《武當》。《武當》專輯的誕生完全是Swing兩人的心力之作,源於對於武俠劇的喜愛,無論歌曲的製作、風 格、封套和MV的概念都是Swing親自嚴謹製作。02年組合解散至今,Eric Kwok 單飛作個人發展,Jerald則退居幕後。09年復出全新主打歌「我有貨」,由陳詠謙填詞的內容相當到位,唱出Swing一向挑皮和多搞作的心聲。新專輯 收錄的歌曲有「我有貨」、「Let It Go」、「麵包生命」、「讓左腳先行一步」和「點止兵兵」。

Swing黐筋孖筋回歸樂壇

嘟嘟嘟嘟.....環球特別報導!!
闊別樂壇7年的二人組合Swing, 終於再度出現。

兩位鬼馬及創意多到滿瀉的主腦組成,

Chet Baker - The Best of Chet Baker Sings

Once Chet Baker arrived in California from his native Oklahoma, his career exploded. After landing gigs with Charlie Parker and Gerry Mulligan, Baker soon found himself a solo star and bandleader. Not long after that, he also found himself whispering love songs into a microphone. Baker was not gifted with the most robust voice of the day. Indeed, listening to pure singers like Nat "King" Cole or Johnny Hartman can expose Baker's weaknesses, but what Baker did, he did well. By choosing wistful, so-young, so-in-love tunes, Baker was able to pour his heart into the material, sketching soft, romantic moods and painting himself as the broken-hearted innocent. The effect can be devastating, as Baker's voice clings to the melody, threatening to disintegrate at any moment. Many of his best tunes--"I Fall in Love Too Easily," "But Not for Me," "Let's Get Lost"--are collected here, and as such, there is no better place to begin an appreciation of Baker's unique singing. --S. Duda (Amazon)

Jamie Lidell - Jim

Genre: Soul, funk, R&B

Jim is ten very different songs. Jim is energy, integrity, emotion. Jim is all about the hooks. Jim is getting the sounds absolutely right. Jim is keeping things fresh. Jim is the voice. Jim is Jamie and Jamie is Jim.

Jim will switch you on in the morning, move you on the dance-floor and take you down in the small hours. It's a bold, promiscuously diverse album, mixing up gospel grooves, sweetly sung and fiercely passionate soul, delicately moving ballads, thumping early R & B, synthed-up disco, and even a touch of 'hillbilly funk'. "I haven't tried to hide the influences," he says "This is the music I love." But, listen closely and you can hear Jamie moving in new directions, creating a sound and style that is entirely his own.

Written by Jamie Lidell and Dominic "Mocky" Salole (except where noted)

  1. "Another Day" - 3:49
  2. "Wait for Me" - 3:23
  3. "Out of My System" - 3:58
  4. "All I Wanna Do" - 5:13
  5. "Little Bit of Feel Good" - 4:03 (Lidell/Salole/Andre Vida)
  6. "Figured Me Out" - 4:27
  7. "Hurricane" - 3:13
  8. "Green Light" - 3:49 (Lidell/Mocky/Jason Charles Beck)
  9. "Where D'You Go?" - 2:24 (Beck)
  10. "Rope of Sand" - 3:39

Corinne Bailey Rae


Corinne Bailey Rae's debut was a number One hit in her native England, a fact that has U.S. bizzers buzzing about its potential with the adult-alternative crowd over here. The twenty-seven-year-old's voice suggests a warmer, less weird Macy Gray, and she uses it without a hint of diva showiness on breezy, sometimes sleepy songs that evoke girls sassing back and forth in the sweet summertime. The music-will-soothe-your-soul single "Put Your Records On" sets Brit- inflected coos over acoustic guitar and a hip-hop groove before opening into a chorus worthy of prime Stevie Wonder, and charmers like "Trouble Sleeping" are all dreamy swoons, lush accompaniment and fairly effective hooks. But the album is occasionally more interesting than her mellow mien would suggest: "Choux Pastry Heart" is full of evocative heartache, and the funked-out "I'd Like To" is a sharp sketch of urban life with a sexually charged chorus. Corinne Bailey Rae is as pop-wise as it is overly gentle and one to grow on.

  1. "Like a Star" (Corinne Bailey Rae) – 4:03
  2. "Enchantment" (Rae, Rod Bowkett) – 3:57
  3. "Put Your Records On" (Rae, John Beck, Steve Chrisanthou) – 3:35
  4. "Till It Happens to You" (Rae, Pamela Sheyne, Paul Herman) – 4:38
  5. "Trouble Sleeping" (Rae, Beck, Chrisanthou) – 3:28
  6. "Call Me When You Get This" (Rae, Beck, Chrisanthou, Steve Bush) – 5:04
  7. "Choux Pastry Heart" (Rae, Teitur Lassen) – 3:57
  8. "Breathless" (Rae, Marc Nelkin) – 4:15
  9. "I'd Like To" (Rae, Tommy Danvers, Herman) – 4:08
  10. "Butterfly" (Rae, Bowkett) – 3:53
  11. "Seasons Change" (Rae, Steve Brown) – 4:5

Special edition

  1. "Since I've Been Loving You" – 4:25
  2. "Emeraldine" – 4:33
  3. "Munich" – 3:59
  4. "No Love Child" – 4:02

Sterling Simms - Yours, Mine & The Truth


Let's change pace to some R&B.
Artist: Sterling Simms
Album: Yours, Mine and the Truth
Release Date: 12.23.08

Tracklist:
01. All I Need (Feat. Jadakiss)
02. Playa
03. DUI (80 On The Freeway)
04. Single
05. Bad Dream
06. Jump Off (Feat. Sean Paul)
07. I Know
08. Boom Boom Room
09. Best Friend
10. Doin' Dat Dere
11. Sex In The City
12. Let Her Go
13. She Should Be Thanking You

After a few previous attempts and some delays, it sounds as if Def Jam recording artist Sterling Simms has finally perfected his formula for his debut album Yours, Mine & The Truth . The album features noteworthy production from Tricky and the Dream, and Simms' own squad, the Knightwritaz. Simms' vocal range stands out, and there's a lot of versatility throughout the project in both content and production, making this a great album all around.

Jadakiss drops some bars on the album's opening cut and lead single All I Need , while Sean Paul (Youngbloodz) contributes the southern swag to Jump Off , which originally received airplay a few years ago from a project that was never officially released. Ya gotta admire the recklessness of a fiend on DUI (80 on the Freeway) , where not even the "boys in blue" can keep him from an intoxicated drive to satisfy the deepest of sexual cravings. The fantasies continue on Boom Boom Room , and Sex In The City , another highlight of the album where Simms' falsetto is showcased over a sultry Knightwritaz beat. Switching gears a bit, the album takes a sensitive turn on songs like the all-too-familiar Bad Dream , a regretful number about losing love and an obvious prequel to Let Her Go , one of the vocal highlights of the album. Fellas, I think we can all relate to the feeling of Single , a laidback joint that opens with strums on an acoustic guitar and relives the feelings of bachelor-style freedom. She Should Be Thanking You closes out the disc on a mellow note with an unusual message: it's an open letter to an ex-girlfriend after he realizes how much of a better man she made him - a better man that the next girl now enjoys.

Yours, Mine and the Truth is a solid start for the R&B singer, as this album shows his potential for greatness. It's easy to hear that he draws artistic influence from music's finest, ranging from Sam Cooke to Brian McKnight to Usher. I highly recommend this joint to all the R&B heads especially if you're in need of something new and different. I'm anxious to hear what he can do with some old school covers and I'm already anticipating his next single. Go ahead and cop this joint, it's the truth

Happy Circle EP


Happy Circle EP

Taiwan pop rock trio Happy Circle have finally come up with their debut EP, and instead of calling it "Doughnuts for the Ear" - which is what many people liken their music to - they have given it the title Hello Tomorrow. The band is formed by female vocalist Katie and guitarists Whyn and Prince JR., who enthrall listeners with their fantastic match of folky sound and endearing voice. Members of Happy Circle have written songs for many other popular artists, including Angela Chang, Lollipop, Hey Girl, Nicholas Teo, Elva Hsiao, Huang Jing Lun, Fahrenheit, and Rainie Yang. The band's EP has 3 songs, namely the title number Hello Tomorrow, "Smattering", and "Dawn".



Recommended tracks: 半調子, and Hello Tomorrow

Khalil Fong Live in Toronto - June 5, 2009 @ Roy Thomson Hall




Wow, what a night. Finally got to see Khalil live. I've been following his music since his debut album "Soulboy". For his concert in Toronto, he impressed us with a lot of English covers including "I feel good", "Georgia on my mind", "Billie Jean", etc. All of them were done with acoustic accomplianment with either guitar or piano. Although it was a funny and warm concert overall, it was different from his "This Love Live 07" and "Wonderland Live 08" concert, it lacked the variety of songs, probably because it was a smaller concert in Toronto. Also, Fiona Sit was real fun when she came out, she sang three songs and went around to shake hands with the audience, I was one of the lucky ones =P


I really wanted him to sing "拖男帶女", and "叫我怎麼說", those songs woulda been great for concert atmosphere. Another great thing was that he sang a lot of songs from his new album Orange Moon. He sang "singalongsong", "1234567", "黑白" (acoustic), "三人遊", and "每個人都會".

Hope you come back soon Khalil!
