C-Music: 林俊杰 Sixology


Was roaming HMV last night and belatedly saw the new album (released in Oct 08) - Sixology from JJ Lin.

I checked out the album and have to admit it is pretty good, and much much much better than Jay's album. not only his vocal is getting way better and control in the change in tempo is getting flawless. More imptly, at least unlike Jay, JJ doesnt release album for the sake of releasing one. Jay's album has been increasingly disappointing with tracks sounding more and more alike. Thankfully, JJ hasnt sold himself out yet!

For his collaboration with HK actress/ singer 蔡卓妍 on the track 小酒窝, while the track is ok, I'm not sure about his choice of singer partner. In the cantonese version, she sounded alright but he sounded weird with his pronouciation, in the mandarin version, the reverse problem occurs for the female singer.

On the other hand, one of the track within the album which had grabbed my attention the most was 醉赤壁 [download]. Great melody, good lyrics, fantastic vocal. JJ is proving to be a worthy Sg gem in the music industry.
