雨人

My idol, Wakin Chau, finally released a new album today! This album entitled 雨人，or in english it's called "Wakin in the rain", is a long awaited album for fans like me. And we have waited 2 years since the last album leh! Wahaha.. it has become more of a pleasant suprise to see a new album release from our dear 华健大哥。

After listening to the songs, felt it's so valentine! Some of the songs are quite lovely, not puppy love style, but touching. Hmm why not release this album during valentines day eh? Read somewhere that Wakin have been treating the mainland as his second home eh, no wonder I find some music elements in a few songs that has the shanghai-style feel. You know, together with packaging, got the classy 夜上海 feel.

Actually I find that since the last album, Wakin's music have changed quite abit. It has become abit new-age style, with some elements in the music that Wakin did not use before in the past. Quite modern too. In fact, Wakin quite power too. His music is no more influence by the market trend. His music now carries on with the unique wakin-style, which I believe is a class of his own.

Some of the songs that I would recommend are the 2 主打歌，雨人 and 我们不哭，and other songs that I find particularly nice are 爱情路, 以后, Time, Wake up.....
