"Ivana is very beautiful-melody, voice, feels, heart, keep these beautiful"
A thank-you note from the sleeves of the album, to be known written by her mom, a musician in your her youth, and a father who plays classical music. Since being found by Jacky Cheung and written one of his hit song "I'm really hurt" back in 2001, she managed to released 2 albums. Without a beautiful face to lure the fans, but with her voice and her songwriting ability, it manages to carries her to this third album. Her birdie icon, and the artwork cover had become a trademark for all her album. It's not something new, but it's creative too. This album comes in a painting hang ups, which drawn by Jeana Sohn from USA.
All songs (as usual) are written by Ivana herself, with lyrics half by Lin Xe(the famous lyricist) and her herself, addding a new producer, THE INVINCIBLE MAN, to team up to create the mood of poet and beautiful songs. It did managed to keep up to the standard of her previous two album.
This album is suits to listen as whole. The refreshing sounds, makes her to be differ from the other current cantopop artist, as it carries a very strong of her character with a dare to try different music style.
From the first plugged single, "Poet's Mood詩情" a drink advert song, is a rare cheerful and cute song from Ivana. It's up lifting which suits her voice and carries it well, lyric are very easy-listening too. Second theme song "Paint means"畫意 , an usual trademark ballad of her that showcase her voice, with a deep meaning of an artist's life, the conflicts they faces in producing whether to goes on their own wills, or the commercial market. Ivana had balance this very well. The power of the song to touch others not only comes from the lyric alone, as well the melody. Songs like, "(Paris have no)Ferries wheel" (巴黎沒有) 摩天輪's romantic, "happiness"幸福's a typical pop song, "wanting to love but not想愛不相愛",a cantonese theme song written for the japanese movie (a litre of tears) also worth of listening.
Take note, there's a hidden track too.
