I love Pink’s music, it has got real attitude element in it. Daniel Powter rocks and Kelly Clarkson has impressive voice. But there is this “Descendent of Dragon” – Wang Lee Hom, a Taiwanese born American who has, over the years gained significant recognition in Mainland, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan and throughout Southeast Asia.
I wasn’t so impressed by this artist until his effort in venturing and exploring new sounds and voices became more noticeable at the point he introduced his “Chinked-Out” musics to the world. The emphasis of such revolves around the heavy influence of traditional Chinese music. Earlier, he stressed the mainstream of R&B and Hip Hop; later he incorporated the traditional Chinese aboriginal music, Beijing Opera and ‘Kun Qu’ into the earlier. The fusion is marvelous and 盖世英雄 is a classic piece to me. (Coolness I tell ya!) And the evolution begins.
Next launch the “Change Me” album. With the belief of how little changes from us can affect the world, the album aims to promote environmental awareness. “Falling Leaf Returns to Root”, according to him, is an inspiration from his portrayal of Kuang Yumin in the film, Lust, Caution. The accompanies of violin and piano solo never fail to stir my much-suppressed miss-home feeling.
The latest album, “Heartbeat” keeps my Ipod very busy and distracted me from work quite abit. I’m amazed by how he can sing a single word-“偶” for close to 20 seconds yet gives a satisfying touch to the finish. Check it out and you will understand what I’m saying. No doubt, 玩偶 becomes one of my favorite pick. A friend conquered to my praise of 我完全沒有任何理由理你, the common in people with short hair and love exercise, eh? Or we both carry the same 切!切!我根本不屑! attitude wherever we go? Anyway, plenty of electric guitar, I’m more than happy with this release.
Little did one know that the maker of the above few masterpiece began learning Mandrin at the age of 18. Reminds me determination takes us real far. I can’t help but respect the perseverance and faith he holds in blooming the Chinese music industry.
Salute to this ever-devoted artist and I conquer with him , 华人万岁!!
Awaiting his concert on May 2, 2009 in Bukit Jalil~~
