Brief: Well, as expected the debut album for Linda has finally being released. A lot of her fans will be very happy. The strange thing about Linda Chung is that as much as people who like her, there are equally that many people who dislike her. Personally, I think she is one of those girls who really stand out in the crowd like she is standing in there glowing. Capture your eyes immediately and she is not a bad exercise for the eyes. Problem is, her acting is not as great as her charm and looks. Her singing…well…let listen to this album and then decide…shall we?

Description: So far Linda Chung’s career has been a fantastic success story. After winning the 2003 Miss Chinese International Pageant, Linda joined TVB as an artist and soon became a familiar face on Hong Kong TV screens. Leaping to the next level of her acting career, she appeared in the 2007 hit movie Love Is Not All Around with Stephy Tang and Alex Fong. Her efforts were rewarded with a Best Newcomer nomination at the 27th Hong Kong Film Awards. Now Linda starts her latest career as singer with her ten-track debut album. Fans can look forward to the principal songs “Dinner For One” (Track 1) and “Lovers’ World” (Track 2). Other featured songs on Linda’s promising debut music release include “Roller Coaster” (Track 5), “Actually I’m Unhappy” (Track 6), and “Matchstick Paradise” (Track 4).

Brief: 3rd album from one of the sexiest female singer from South Korea. She lacks vocal but everything else about her is top notch.

Description: If anyone deserves to have their own adjective, it’s probably Lee Hyo Ri. Lee, who emerged as a Korean pop icon since turning solo in 2003, introduces “hyorish” to our urban dictionary through the release of her new album It’s Hyorish. Bringing the cute-sexy concept back to the stage, Lee teams up with some of the best talents in the business, namely producers Park Geun Tae and Kim Do Hyun, along with music video director Cha Eun Tek, to present what is expected to be one of the best-selling albums of 2008. A staggering 60,000 pre-order copies were sold with ten days left before the official release, proving once again, the massive appeal she brings to Korean pop culture.

Composed by rising songwriter E-Tribe, the hip-hop dance number U-Go-Girl (Track 3) is one of the double principal tracks featured on the album. Highlighted by Lee’s unique resonating voice, the song is dedicated to her female fans and features lyrics that loosely translate to “don’t be shy, show yourself boldly”. Injecting Euro dance rhythm into electronica sound, Hey Mr. Big (Track 10) is a trendy dance number featuring fellow singer Wheesung’s lyrics, which include the words of advice, “be a real man, show heart and courage.” Some big names also show their support for Lee by contributing their vocal and creative talents, namely Kim Gun Mo and Wheesung in Bbal gahn ja dong cha (”A Red Car” - Track 9) and Sexy Boy (Track 8), respectively.

Brief: Well, I was waiting for Janice Vidal’s album but it was delayed and delayed again until to my surprise Jill’s album came out first. Oh well, Jill’s music is more upbeat with more funky tunes which is not really my style. Though, it is quite good material by itself, I still think Janice is the better singer. Nonetheless, Jill is a good singer as well trying to make her own style and staying away from being cliche with Janice. She does succeed in this factor and any fans of Janice or Jill would be able to differenciate their songs easily. This is new songs + collections of her previous works. I think the best among this bunch is the remake version of 傻女 (track 4). The rest are equally cactchy with tunes like Get Out (track 5) and 可可 (track 11).

Brief: Tanya Chua is a very talented singer and song producer. Her songs are not as commercialized as most other pop songs singer but it’s this sort of unique production that made her who she is. Her music is very different from most other singers and she also produce songs for other singers. Definitely one of the best music producer out there.

Description: Things go as planned for the multitalented Tanya Chua. Taiwan’s 19th Golden Melody Awards saw her snatch the trophies for Best Producer and Best Mandarin Female Singer, catapulting her to a new career high. There’s probably no better way for her fans to celebrate this success than through her latest greatest hits plus new song compilation Tacit Understanding. The song repertoire on this album covers smash hits like “Souvenir” (Track 13), “Breathing” (Track 3), and “Really Need A Holiday” (Track 9). Those looking for new material are served Two of Us, It’s Your Chance, an English cover version of Faye Wong’s “Wrong Number”, and the titular Tacit Understanding (Track 2).
