Seems like recently I can predict the top 10 album of the year easily, release since last year 2009, this 1st new album for the past 8 years of Tiger Huang definitely becomes my favourite top 10 for the year 2010. It's already good on the first listen and it grew more on you as you listen it more.
She's a powerful pub live diva as we all knows, and according the standard of this album, effortless, a strong contender for the upcoming Golden Melody Award. From the first single, "Not That Simple"- witty lyrics, true and straight forward. Thats what I call truth hurts. Catchy and powerful ballad, immediately link her to Barbra Streisand of the East(of coz forget Tsai Chin). It's been very difficult for elder age songtress to release something that can hit into the mainstream market. Tiger Huang definitely owes the success to the production team and her effort from the last year's increasing of fame from live tour 08/09 and her constant "mentor" image exposure from Xing Guang talent competition.
Upon the first round of listen, a track call "Partner", easily standout from the rest.This second single quickly could match up the fame of " Not That Easy". These songs really very hard to carry. Those lyrics really needed someone who went through some experience in life to really get the meaning of the songs. Its not easy for a 40-50 y.o. to sing love song and love songs are usually the easiest topic to sing around. This album had target right in Tiger's age. Totally love it.
