Personally, I like the beautiful album cover image which shows both of them having a leisurely chat in a cafe, plus it brings out tastefully the album title's theme.

Altogether there are twelve tracks, containing six brand new compositions by Chris Babida and six covers of past favourite hits (mostly by male singers) such as Angus Tung's (or Tong An Ge) "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow" (or Ming Tian Ni Shi Fou Yi Ran Ai Wo), Li Shou Quan's "Zhang San De Ge", Bobby Chen's "Leave Sadness With Myself" (or Ba Bei Shang Liu Gei Zi Ji) and Jiang Yu Heng's "The Wandering Heart" (or Yi Dong De Xin).

This album once again reunites her with her mentor Billy Koh (or Xu Huan Liang) who produces four (out of ten) tracks here, including the dance track "You Cool" which is written by Liang Wen Foo and is being promoted as the first single in Singapore.

There are many music flavours here : Latin, indie, rock, folk and the usual ballads.  The title track "Lola" (which is the first single in Taiwan) is a Latin-feel track written and produced by Pan Xie Qing.  Another recommended song by the record company is the acoustic ballad "Own Dance" composed by Hong Kong song writer Liu Chong Yan and written by Xu Shi Zhen.

Kit Chan also wrote a light-tempo composition "Finally Forgotten Your Birthday" which ended with a rather-frightening laughter voice, presumably Kit's.  Another note-worthy mention is that it includes a song called "Gone Through" which retains the melody of the title-track song of TCS's most recent hit serial "My Home Affairs" (or Jia Shi) starring Zoe Tay and Tay Ping Hui (note : also sang by Kit Chan) but spots a new lyrics re-written by Xu Shi Zhen.

This album is an annual release which features the first singles from the records they have distributed over the past year.  From the song listing (refer below), one can actually see the root of the trouble - of the eleven artistes featured here, over half of these singers' albums (seven to be exact) have not really seen good sales performance in Taiwan.  The only impressive figures are those posted by Valen Hsu, Kit Chan, Hokkien singer Huang Yi Ling and E-Jun.

Nevertheless, this is a really good compilation since it features all the 'zhu da ge' of What's Music releases from July 1999 to Mar 2000.

Fans may feel they have been ripped off when they get hold of Fei Fei's (or Ou Yang Fei Fei) latest new song + collection release.

Altogether there are six new recordings and eight old tracks.  These so-called eight compilation songs are ALL taken from her previous release "Departure Arrival" ---- what kind of collection is this?  In her "Departure Arrival", there are thirteen tracks which means that over 60% of the songs are repeated in this current release ---- this just adds on to the list of increasing blotches from What's Music recently.
