 | i probably will get flamed for this, but gospel pop is the sole redeeming grace of religion. taken as a whole, it is surprisingly superior to mainstream thrash. Labels: music |

| 《突破》 | ||
 | 没有形象的束缚，没有追求销售的坚持。所以，很单纯地，我们都相信地下乐团能玩得很精彩。却万万没意料到，地下乐团的制作能如此细腻。一番宁静过后，范晓萱走向庞可摇滚，魅力依然。 Labels: music |

| 《star》 | ||
 | 忽明忽暗，忽明忽暗，忽明。 这不是关于架势的问题。我想“天生”这个字眼，也只适用在她的身上。我想就算是燕姿，也只能服输。专辑标题是对于专辑的结论，实力的认证。 撇开莫名的《永远的快乐》和《薇多莉亚的秘密》不谈，多元化的选曲在她的演绎之下，成为了独立的精品。某些曲目卸下了华丽隆重的编曲返回纯朴，呈现了未听过的温柔腼腆，陶醉。 推荐歌曲：《知己》,《一眼瞬间》,《Big City》,《如果你也听说》,《Don't Sail Away》,《两端》 Labels: music |

| 《热浪》 | ||
 | 太多技巧性的唱腔掩盖了温岚嗓子的本质。有些歌手是不需要奢华包装的，纯粹热闹的歌曲不要浪费在实力上。 推荐歌曲：《同手同脚》,《爱的代价》 Labels: music |

| 《改变自己》 | ||
 | 没有改变，没有惊喜，没有感动。爱，不在这里。 毋庸置疑的是他的歌曲创作才华，却总觉得歌不对字；精彩的旋律被肤浅的歌词所淹没。 推荐歌曲：《改变自己》,《落叶归根》,《我们的歌》 Labels: music |

| 《OK》 | ||
 | 每隔几年，就有一阵这样的风吹过，如此清爽。 流行音乐/感性小品配上了摇滚小众的声音，这就是张震岳的致命吸引力。如此不搭的音乐类型结合凑成了令人动容的作品。这不是品质保证，这是对主流的宽容和温柔。在宇宙纷争统治的世代，强词夺理的坚持不再是歌迷的依恋，大家希望共享的是细腻的转折。和一些些自我的声音，因为完美已变成了虚无的追求。 有人说过，摇滚歌手的真诚是最动人的情歌。这就是证明。 推荐歌曲：《思念是一种病》,《你说有个女孩》,《路口》,《小宇》,《就让这首歌》,《小星星》 Labels: music |

| 《hey hah!可米小子》 | ||
 | 突然有一种冲动，在年轻消逝前去体验青春。而他们的音乐，虽说不上美妙，却拥有着一种曾经熟悉的活力。神奇的是，走遍了各个唱片行却不寻他们精选集的踪迹。直到偶遇大众书局的廉价售卖才寻获这张专辑。 乍听之下，其实没有预期中想象的难熬。反而，在现今的流行音乐市场里可算是远胜其他少年组织；能够诚心推荐的歌曲莫名地比周蕙近期的作品来得多。而现在，期待寻获他们的第二张专辑。 推荐歌曲：《求爱复刻版》,《超人心》,《最重要的你》,《青春无敌》 Labels: music |

| 留下什么，我们就变成什么样的大人。 | ||
| over dessert last night, i frantically tried to recall the theme song for the film 蓝色大门, and the music video which i waited aimlessly for, everyday in the summer of 2002, for a beautiful face, and a beautiful song. it was my final year in high school; it was the year when it felt like nothing was ever going to change; when a class of 16 boys in khaki-coloured shorts ruled the room oversized for 17. and we forged friendships that we couldn't have known would last forever, or for some, dissipate right after graduation. at that time, it really didn't matter. and then, disaster struck. our social circles enlarged. i like what he says with regards to entwining our lives with friends and lovers, about how people evolve and how lives change. taken out of context, but still as poignant: 仔細想想，真的，我們留下了好多、好多。「那些留下的東西」，也許是對方與家人互動時的真誠自然，也許是先洗頭再洗身體的洗澡公式，也許是大方的金錢觀念，也許是使用麥可喬丹二代香水、雅虎奇摩即時通的習慣。它們看來微不足道，也不值錢；然而，就是因為它們，我們才能成為現在的我們，我們才能比尚未遇到他們之前的我們擁有更豐富、更盈滿的生命。於是，誰說我們什麼「東西」都沒有留下來呢？《藍色大門》片尾，懷著對未來與自我的想望，孟克柔自問：「四、五年後，甚至更久、更久以後，我們會變成什麼樣的大人呢？是體育老師，還是我媽，還是……？」而答案，也許就在與我們的生命衝擊碰撞出火花的那些人身上…… |

| 《绽放》 | ||
 | 期望在这年头叱咤乐坛，往往需要的是个性的声音，极为俊俏的外形或特殊的才艺。只可惜周蕙一一欠缺，唯独一把清亮的嗓子。 对于主打《最爱》的些许期待在聆听了其余的歌曲后一瞬间蒸发。只能说周蕙变主流了，却也沦落成新一代垃圾情歌的受害者。奇妙的是，许多旋律包含着早期燕姿歌曲的模式。但是少了独特的声线，对我而言，一点感觉也没有。 推荐歌曲：《最爱》,《发现》 当再次聆听周蕙从前的《体温》和《寂寞城市》才发现根本无从比较。 Labels: music |

| reba mcentire ft. kelly clarkson | ||
| like melinda doolittle, country singers have this innate ability to tell tales with songs. with an enunciation like that, reba mcentire practically goes on her knees and begs you to listen to what the lyrics have to offer. and then we have the subtle yet intensely emotional video. utterly brilliant, i say.

 | intricately crafted lyrics, reminiscent of my days studying poetry under a microscope (i always failed interpretations and was rated as a non-lit student by my teachers heh). but there's something to be said about pretty language; it doesn't make sense most of the time, and beats about the bush, but when it hits you, it really does. especially when it's paired up with equally beautiful acoustic melodies :) get it while it's hot! gramophone exclusive. 20% off at gphone at cathay.

| Hey Eugene! | ||
 | i remember hearing rave reviews for their debut album "sympathique" (1997), but that was before the time i was actively excited about music in general. now that i'm hooked on "the bird and the bee" (see previous) which also lies in the electric/lounge genre, i decided to give this a spin. and woah. this is world music as 'world' as it can be. the orchestral arrangements are breathtaking, and vocalist china forbes is simply amazing. languages are executed with such astounding grace and precision, you are forced to believe they're ethnic. (arabic anyone?) with the english lyrics so heartbreakingly cheeky/sad/happy all at the same time, it would be a blessing to be able to understand the multiple languages so flawlessly presented. without doubt, this is music that truly breaks the boundaries of time and space.

 | after the season, it still boggles me why the girl with lupus didn't make it through to the top 12, even with such an unprecedented lacklustre cast. and the recordings on her space reinforces the mystery. (also featured here) unfortunately, i can't say the same about AJ. Labels: american idol, music |

 | I heard a spark / Something that glowed / Hundred feet higher I open my eyes / When there is light / To see if I'm closer What if I stopped? / Just for a while / To make it go slower Still up the night / Just for a while / To see if I'm finer / Live like I'm finer but, one misfit.

| 《V.Dubb》 | ||
 | 我们一生中都在寻找自己的定位，去证明自己存在的价值。 往往想独具一格，显示自己潜在的天份，却在不受瞩目的情况下让才艺沦落为虚伪与庸俗。其实不需要太刻意去弥补，或倾全力伪装；只要安分守己，对自己诚实，才重要。 而这次是他灵魂的展现。 舞曲是他的灵魂，所以对专辑里的抒情有一定程度的厌倦。模仿了Justin Timberlake和Kangta的成功模式是上上之策。因为对他而言，这才是原味。 Labels: music |

| i don't know who carmen rasmusen is, having not watched season 2 of american idol, but that doesn't matter; she didn't win. but there's something in her new single that makes it one of those endearing tracks that you cannot shake off for a while. i'm confused though, if it is reminiscent of the times back when i didn't have a care in the world or a mocking of the moments in life i never had. i get amnesia sometimes. |
