New Releases of June 09

Why make a fuss out of these month new releases? Well it's summer right, and time again for the big names hitting the airwaves again. It's always happens every year of this time. Seems this year its getting bigger. With the releases from M'sian artists I mention previously, almost every big company in Taiwan is promoting their stars of the season.


Can't wait to introduce you to A-mei's alter ego, AMIT(A-mei Music In Transform) "debut" album. This album comes up upon her desire to experiment her desire music elements. Couple years ago, when she was in her career low point, she release a more divert album MAYBE TOMMORROW(也许明天)(2004), a slightly heavy sound on rock and her tribe music. Still its very pop, but the reception was bad that leads to her career downturn. AMIT is an album with a rockier twist, more in touch her tribal root. These are usually not happen in a conventional A-Mei album. Alter-ego is a good option to promote this album. At very least if it's not successful, it won't hurt her original artist identity. SPLIT PERSONALITY(分身) is her lead single off the album, and riding high on the radio airwaves now. Awaiting her album to release at 26 June 09.


Warner Music Taiwan is releasing a series of hot albums these weeks, and since the success of Nicholas Teo's album early of the month, next comes Jam Hsiao(蕭敬騰). He found fame from the Superstar Talent Show as a guest contender to the show's contestants. His debut comes out with a bang receiving good reception in terms of both sales and critics. This week Golden Melody Award, Taiwan, will be held at Saterday, and Jam Hsiao had tip as the best newcomer, to be biggest honour this year around as the catergory had the strongest contenders. Releasing on July 09, Jam's second album, Princess(王妃), soon will make debut with the first single Princess. Jam Hsiao had put comes back in style with the latest fashion and increasing attractive, with a means of conquering message upon his album concept on the pop-rock elements as his previous album.

Released last week, Gary Chao 曹格's 4th solo effort, in fact fifth, SUPERMARKET-超級4th場, deliver again the similar formula as his previous album (SUPERSUNSHINE) to make up a fourth instalment of his SUPER-series. Already hit up on radio since early of the year, Curry Hotdog(咖哩熱狗) ft MC dog, Mr Lonely(寂寞先生) & lastest Plamlines(掌紋), all already satisfied the ears' of his fans. Gary had made Mr Lonely even more difficult song to perrform. The tune switch between from low note to high pitch note within two bars, absolutely to satisfied his critics. Whole album is running a lot of differenet element varieties like the title, Supermarket. Latest hits, Palmlines掌紋 is a more comforting ballads, and already a favourites among my friends.

Since Avex Taiwan, losing their biggest name like Vivian Hsu, SHOW LO(罗志祥) and Cyndi Wang(王心羚), they sign Ariel Lin林依晨, queen of the Taiwanese dramas who once covers Lonely Hemispheres(孤单北半球) had become a huge hit back in 2003, to release her debut album. Avex had successfully turned Danson Tang(唐禹哲)from idol actor into a series singer, and now to reproduce the miricle on Ariel. Album also out on July 09.
