I'm over here like
at people saying Elva's Shut Up and Kiss Me was not a great album. I mean, it certainly wasn't I'm Ready, but I loved it as much as any Elva record I've heard. I just wish she would have kept up with the yearly releases from 2014 on.
So, I love A-Lin's new album, and I am a little on-off about Yanzi's new album. I loved Dancing Van Gogh and a few other songs, but nothing has really connected with me on this one or on Kepler like all the tracks on It's Time did. I do love that she returned to a more mixed sound of her older releases and her newer stuff from 2011 forward. I'm also disappointed that Radio wasn't on the new album. She did such a damn good job with that track.
As of right now, I am paying attention to Tanya Chua. She just released 貪圖/Pursuit of Happiness and this is the first song of hers that I've really connected to from the first note through the last. The mood is the perfect companion to the lyrics.
I also want to give my applause to Jam Hsiao for whatever the fuck 皮囊 Pi Nang's PV is. He's so goddamn adorkable.
Right now, I'm really just waiting for the next Jolin and Elva projects. I'm also trying to give myself enough listens of Rainie Yang to see if I can develop a likeness for her music. I love her concepts but I have never enjoyed the music side of her work.
Oh, and I'm completely entrenched in A-Mei again. But I can't expect anything different at this point. PARANOIA and AMIT2 were my favorites of 2014 and 2015, and Story Thief ended up being my favorite of 2017. Saved the damn year from all that bad music!
