COUNTDOWN TO PENNY DAI'S RETURN part II

Penny lastest album is out last week!!! More news in later posts.....

In the new millenium, after she become the best newcomer and won numerous awards across Taiwan, Singapore and Malaysia, the next worries from her record company would comes to her commercial success in terms of sale. A more commercial twist is made to her sophromore album.

In the follow-up album, HOW怎样(2001) had made her a household name which her signature song from this album, being not only one but two. HOW(怎样) and The Love I Want(你要的爱).

HOW(怎样)is a ballad infused with folk and most of all, it hits the commercial spot int he market with her simple lyrics of thinking and missing her ex boyfriend where he is in faraway land(Australia). It brings the emotions of missing someone who was once the most important person in ones life. Its sad, but beautiful and sweet memories. I immediately fall in love with the song the moment I saw it the music video on tv. In no time, she soon crowned the most potential newcomer in taiwan.


After the wave of HOW, The Love I Want(你要的爱) which riding high on the hugely successful F4's taiwanese drama "Meteor Garden", also follows closely becoming one of the top ten songs of the year. This is a ballad that makes you clinging on it and humming in your mind non-stop.

The rest of the album continues to carries Penny's style and strengthen up her musical status with a wider range of musical route like country, rock, folk, alternative, fusion, jazz etc.... Its more a lighter works compare to her debut. The album's fame lasts til the next year, even by the time her next album is out, the airplay from this album's hit song is still getting heavy attention.

It proves she had made it a longevity album. Thanks to the drama effects.
