The Forsaken Book笑忘書

Category: Music
Genre: Pop
Artist: Hins Chueng張敬軒

After listening his interview in the radio, I guess I love to intro this album to you people. I do agree Hins is one the artist should be more popular than he is now. He got the talent, and he is big for a small guy. The first cantonese album, however though it is not the first he sang cantonese, it's been in his mandarin album all these while. Or should say, he is splitting his album in 2, (earlier this year with spring,summer,autumn,winter, a mandarin album) and now this canto ones, the forsaken book.

Before the album, already the radio blasting with post-quake餘震 , and 10 years older老了十歲 , 2 beautiful ballads, a very canto-pop commercial which brings an in-sight to the album. Targets on the hongkong market, but it did no surprise, as the album runs on the same style as he always did, but without the up-tempo, jazzy elements as in his debut. "2-seated racecar兩座位跑車 " the uptempo melody, and yet he carries it well. The rare approach of singing low key range in "2nd time in love wit you第二次愛你 ".

When the trends now is singing away from the love theme, Hins also jumps on the bandwagon with the title-theme "The Forsaken Book笑忘書 ", a song of encouragement and it is getting a big popularity now. Another duet with anthony lun,從何唱起 also sangs the encouragement, as it seems that the society(hong kong) is full of depress, which i think m'sia already soon approaching close. The bonus DVD is like a greatest hit collection of his. However, this album does match up to his previous ones.

Artist: Eason Chan


Eason Chan. Been a brand name that will encraved our time as the artist u always remember like we do to Jacky Cheung back in 90's. No wonder he's been crown the new God of Canto-pop. So back to here whats going on to Eason? Taking a very long time to disgest this album and his dvd, Wau!!! A bit of new surprises. This is a new phase of his career(the universal phase) so it will sound similiar to the previous album eg U87, Life continues. This time, will goes more personal to himself.

Best part is to praise the ballads, "white rose白玫瑰 ", "sorrow is meaningless a.k.a underneath mt fuji富士山下 "(big radio hit now) this is a commercially friendly and yet blends a new taste of canto-pop ballads.These songs spells out the feeling of sorrow and develops a deeper thoughts to what it was saying. His upbeating-alternative hippies "the last hippies最後的嬉皮士 " is a easy digest art of work compare to his previous works like "rotten".

After bumping back to Alex San at m'sia awards ceremony last year,writes eason's quite a couples of hits, Eason had push him to writes a song soon. ..and comes this"don we all love dresses裙下之臣 " a song about adoring women. Wonderful, i say. This composer only able to deliver hits with big stars. Looking at the list of producers, isn't much of unfamiliar names. eg C.Y Kong,DAvy Chan, and Eason himself writes himself 2 track out of it. Watch the DVD bonus that comes with it, and you will find a little surprise.

Unmissable album of the year. this would drop into my top ten list.
