1/10 After my college, I take a bus to the Jaya Jusco CD store to look 4 the CD. When I reached there. it isn't there. I ask the girl at the counter, and she say it will only arrived on 2/10. Huh? I look at my calaneder, ARGHHH.... today is 1/10, I thought it was 2nd, how "tai mong" i am.
2/10 Because my college is in the afternoon, so I can only go tothe CD shop at night. My sister drive me there this time after dinner. When I reached the CD shop, the girl tell me that all is sold out, except 4 the cassettes. God, my world had turned into sudden grey, or even black. I was so disappointed, then I quickly went to another shop, Salem Power Station, and the girl there tell me that the CD didn't arrive, it will only come tommorrow morning. I was quite disappointed, but at least there is still hope. I can't sleep 4 the whole night and my mood is bad, really really bad...
3/10 I took a bus again at 10 a.m to the CD store again. When I reach there, I keep wishing the Cd will be there. God, pls don't fail me again. When I reached there, same as yesterday, no CD. Arghhhh... not again. Then, I plan to go Tower Record in the city. Than, I ask the girl again, and she say it was suppose to come this morning, and she had already call them. Ok, there is still hope, I will wait 4 a few hours, if there is no CD, then TR will be my second destination. Then, i went to have my breakfast. It's 11:30 now, i went back to the store, the CD is not there yet. I sat outside the store and watch the Corrs Live Concert. It was quite entertaining. Then, every minutes seems so slow. Tick Tack Tick Tack.... Time passes by, 1/2 hour, 1 hour, 1 1/2 hour, at 2.10..... I saw an indian man bring a box of CD in the shop. Can it be it, pls be it. I went in the shop, and, Ahhh,,, it's the CD. YES. I quickly pay 4 it while they r still labelling it. YES, i got it. I open it outside the shop and was very satisfied with the packaging. At least it's worth the wait. I am sure the songs will not disappoint me too. BUt, should there be a CD? how can i get it? "Nevermind, i will ask the fellow fayenatics how to get it, I can always count on u guys on the info" I say.
Then, I quickly took a bus home, listen to the Cd while typing this letter. Argh, feel so good.
I'm pissed. I'm super pissed. Right after school I rushed downtown to grab a copy of Faye's album. I was so excited. And then, MPH said, "Oh , we're sorry the stock hasn't arrived yet. It won't till this evening". I checked at several other stores. Same reply. =( sigh Well, if I could I would hang out in town and wait for her album. But no, I have my O Levels to study for. scheisse. does this mean I wait in agony for one more day?? waaaaaaa:(
My mother has gone to the airport to send my father off to NY. She refused to let me go...I'm supposed to be studying now. But she says she will help me keep any eye out for the album at the Changi CD shop...man, I shall die if I cannot get hold of the special edition!! But I already have orders placed at 2 different stores...they better hold it for me, plus the poster!!! help me god...what if I cannot...choy choy choy....*touch wood* Please god make sure my mother can get the album..I'm absolutely dying in misery. see la, how to concentrate man.... Tomorrow I am going downtown again *just for faye*...I can't believe I'm doing this...but i am a fanatic after all....muahahah..Got O levels in 3 weeks time and I'm rushing down to grab her album...plus I have the added responsibility of purchasing for several pple too...sigh..... I swear I shall sue MPH if they haven't kept it for me! Dang I really should have tried HMV....only it was a little out of the way and I think HMV is too ex...how much is it at HMV? MPH is always <$18 so I like going there...
all the shops at changi airport were closed....! how can they do this to me.... i shall LIVE to see another day...and faye....or rather...her album... i hope mph kept my album(s) for me!!!:(
I got it I got it I got it!!!!!:):):):) and I love it!!! My word for it: Ethereal. Sensational. Faye like never before. Whoooooohoooooo!!!:) Lotsa impt stuff:
Finally, I've emerged from my Faye hibernation, spent the entire night going thru first round without looking at lyrics, second round, third round and fourth round to finish my Faye marathon! I have tried ways and means to escape from the lyrics and comments for more than a week already! Becos I have this Faye policy that I dun view the lyrics before I hear the song. I believe it'll give the listener a different 'grasp' or 'feeling' for the song. (wonder if anyone is like that too, haha! So if u dun mind, lemme share my thots on this album.
First of all, I have recorded 'Tong' over and over again, on a cassette. Fayve track (besides obvious reasons) but even if it weren't written for JT, (who was given credit as Baby-Tong Tong!!! sweet eh?) the sorta seductive style of the song and Faye's singing, I think it's really cool and indie!
Back to first track...
'Emotional Life'- great composition and arrangement. Reminds me of Dou Wei's 'Sunny Days' tracks, esp the intro, the percussion style.
'Face'-I thot it sounded like a hymn! But the chorus is really cool.
'Fly'-I thot it would be a happy, Lau Fei Faye kinda song, then when I first heard it, I thot it was romantic, it still is, just that after viewing the lyrics, I found out it actually means a departure as in 'fly'...very sad...a eternal departure kinda song, "The bird above the roof, is it you? The clouds above, must be you, I know you can't bear to leave me...I will think of you forever, don't worry abt me, go fly relaxed..." so touching...
'You' or a very classy 'Thou'-it sounds like an obedient admirer, "In the beginning, everything means nuthin, you pass me a whoel lotta truth, I'll follow you from now on, This is the sky, that is earth, this is I, that is you, If u say so, it exists, Whatever u invent, I'll idolise..." sounds bit like us huh?? heheh...nah lah, we're Fayenatics with some sorta mind of our own....maybe.
'Smarts'-What to say? It's great, such a comforting style, "Loving u need a some smarts'
'Can't Wake Up'- 3rd Fave! Another comforting song, very soothing, yes, with a touch of helplessness
'Red Bean'- Hmm, I expected a lot from this song, thot it had such a interesting title, but it's just a very common song, lucky enuff to be liven up by Faye's voice.
That's all, hmm wonder why they changed the cute 'A Production House' logo to a @??? I like the house, bring back the house!
Wah, now it's stated under OP: Faye's Music Ltd. she's got her own label! BTW, pardon my ignornace, but what is OP or SP?
I LOVE IT! The song "Tong" is so wonderfully co-produced by her parents.
Say, let 'Quit half-way', 'Can't Wake Up' and 'Tong' get up the charts soon shall we??
Because of a test on Saturday, I didn't even get Faye album on its first day of release.............yesterday after the test I went straight to Clementi MRT station phone booth..I read Roy's mail yesterday and know MJ got singles and CD Rama got poster..............I wanted the singles more badly......so I picked up a telephone directory and started calling MJ branches.....Lot 1 say all singles had been given out....he even say no more at other branches too...I din want to take chances so I called up Bishan MJ...also tell me same thing...........I thot maybe HMV got some single promotions ( I remeber last yr,they have this record few sentences of Faye's song in a tape singing contest and can win Faye's exclusive singles.......), I called them up...........they r only having buy 2 albums get I scratch and win card to win singles...............I feel that HMV r very bad........EMI give singles to MJ and HMV....MJ very kind to give them out to first 200 customers (reward early birds)....but HMV use them to boost sales....induce Faye-lovers to buy more albums for a chance to win singles/posters..............
So I gave up on the singles and start calling CD-Rama for the posters............I tried Toa Payoh........out of stock...........then I called another CD-Rama branch..4 got which branch........I made so many phone calls!!!!!!.....the girl was very helpful.....she said at her place no more posters also but she offer tio help me ask other branches...ask where I live.........I reply I can go anywhere!...she laughed.......results of enquiry.....Jurong East....out........Jurong West.......out.........then she told me Bukit Panjang, Marine Parade still have .......I called Bukit Panjang........ask to reserve posters..she mentioned still got 10 over left...........no need reserve..I went down and finally got the poster..........poster was rolled up....I couldn't see the design.......I asked .the cashier whether poster same with EMI.......she say same as the one pasted outside CD-Rama.........I cannot see from that angle.............ask again is it same with the album cover......she say yes ....my heart sank..........cos it would mean same with EMI's................then I walk outside and saw that the poster pasted outside is the poster of Faye staring sideways.......both iris at the left of each eye..........at the galaxy..........Faye look so cute...so mischievous..........so fun......Faye is a natural 'camera lens snatcher.......so poster is diff from EMI after all.......at....least I get one of Faye's limited collectibles........so happy.........my heart suddenly rebounced back....!!!!!!!!
So for Singapore fayenatics who wants to get this special poster, only available in CD-Rama.............please try Bukit Panjang Plaza (got 10 over left at 4.30p.m Saturday), Tampines, and Marine Parade..........Jurong West, Jurong East, Toa Payoh and Orchard branch given out liao. Other branches not sure, can call and check!
Also, I called Foo Leong Records (Chinatown)....just try my luck.......ask them if they have Faye's poster or singles........they say no.they even say Faye's album has been sold out!!!!!!! Really gd news..faye's album selling so well!
Anyway, I still went to MJ lot 1.....just to make sure singles really sold out..........I saw the decor outside.. not very happy with it.....A-mei got a big standing promotional poster and Jacky Cheung also....Faye was nowhere to be found.....how can this happen? Faye's release is definitely one of the major releases in the music mkt....only inside I saw Faye's poster (EMI design)........so jeolous when I see that promotional wording of the given out single..............On my way home...my bus apssed by Towers..........sudden urge to see Faye's album decor there...alighted and went straight there...........very satisfie dwith Towers..very big Faye picture.(they make themselves one) with space planets backdrop and a hand clad in spacey clothing jutting out signifying Faye's hand............big section on Faye..........playing Faye's album when I reach there too.......whenever I go to record shops always hope to see big floor space devoted to promotong Faye's album...........I think Faye deserve this kind of 'pai2 chang3'.....to match her Queen status.........sometime I even rearrange the placing of album sto give Faye more exposure.........hehe........... I ask Towers if they sell Faye's singles........they say use as prizes of lucky draw when u buy Faye album there and not for sale........
2-Oct, I'm working as usual, waiting impatiently for the afternoon to come. I've called up yesterday night to all big record stores to check on the album delivery & all said it'll arrive only in the afternoon or evening.
I was very distracted at work, luckily I've finished all major impt reports, I was counting my time, & playing around on the internet (yes, I couldn't concentrate on my work, luckily everyone else was quite relaxed in a way too 'cos they're going to the Night Safari later, what a good timing for me, I've good excuse not to join them!!!)
Finally 12pm, I decided not to go down to Towers 'cos they said the supply will only arrive in the late evening. However, my friend advised me to go down & have a look. You see, I'm working in Suntec City & Towers is just on the 2nd floor. So I decided to pop down, to walk around, hoping to find something to relieve my Faye anxiety.
I went to Towers, into the Asian pop section, & gosh, right in front of me, in front of the counters, are boxes of Faye new albums. The counter staff were just beginning to re-wrap the albums 'cos they've lucky draw coupon for every album purchased. Winners will be given either singles or posters.
I was so esctatic that I lost control of myself. Luckily, its a Friday where we can dress down, otherwise how can I show my face there again??? I got a working image to carry. Towers just received the albums, they've not even have time to wrap many albums, nor display them on the shelf yet. I quickly picked up 1 album & scanned thru' if its the special edition. The staff reasurred me it is & explained their promotion scheme to me. I am the 1st customer definitely, she must have thought me crazy too, 'cos after looking at the CD, she's ready to charge me that ONE CD & I told her I need FOUR. She looked at me one kind & gave me those unwrapped CDs plus the coupons.
Then I have another tussle with the cash register staff, 'cos logically he entered all 4 purchases under 1 receipt. But 'cos of the lucky draw where you attach one receipt to the lucky draw coupon, this means though I should have 4 chances but I have only 1 receipt, my probability of winning at the lucky draw is slimmer. Haha, yeah, I know everyone must think how "kia-su" I am, but I dun care, 'cos I might get a chance to win Faye stuff, that's more impt. So eventually, we settled our opinions amicably.
I was so excited, I got the albums at 12.45pm, 2-Oct to be exact. I rushed back to office, paged for my friends & Mingyi. I was still feeling so happy until Mingyi called & told me that if you buy 2 albums from HMV, you get a free poster! I was so banged!!! I dunno if this HMV poster would be the same as EMI, but my heart skipped a beat. Perhaps due to insufficient oxygen, my brain is not working as before & I called Mingyi up to buy another 2 albums for me from HMV, just to have THAT poster.
After getting the albums & the confirmed poster from HMV, I decided to concentrate on my work, but Mingyi & her gang is driving me crazy. They're going down to EMI S'pore straightaway to redeem the posters & asked me for directions to go. This makes the already semi-conscious me even more illogical. I decided to take time off from my work to join them in this "outrageous" fayenatic chasing!!!
We took a cab down to EMI S'pore. Upon reaching there, we were very excited when we saw Faye starry-eyed poster. According to EMI news release, there's 2 poster designs & anyway we were hopeful.
They were playing Faye album inside EMI office. Mingyi is very "naughty", since there's no one at the reception area, she turned the volume louder & they're playing "Tong"!!!
When the EMI staff come out, I think they just expected to distribute a couple of posters to us, the 1st lady who came out almost fainted when she saw tons & tons of Faye albums we're carrying & she couldn't cope, her colleagues got to come out & help. They were so busy tearing the sticker out from the album & pasting the stickers onto a white piece of paper. Another colleague quickly brings out the poster. We asked what design & its the same design from HMV. My heart sank definitely, I dunno abt the rest. All my chasing for nothing!!! I asked them what abt the poster displayed outside, he said in S'pore they're only given 1 design for distributing. Being innocent fans, we initially buy into this reason. Anyway, we collected our tons of Faye poster, rolled them nicely. Perhaps 'cos of our mass Faye albums, almost all staff in EMI S'pore who's around came out & have a look. I dunno abt the rest but I feel very embarrassed, maybe they thought we're those "common" idols chasing fans.
Mingyi is very cute, should I bring up your embarrassed story??? She's very high that day too, so perhaps that's why she's not herself too. Hmm, I shall, this is a lesson we shall learn next time. Since they bought so many albums from HMV, they're entitled to the scratch & win card game & they're very lucky to win something. However, instead of redeeming it from HMV, they redeemed from EMI!!! So we got to rush back to HMV again. Well, also our luck, we took a cab back to HMV again. You know, we've all not taken lunch & were feeling a little "giddy". We were back to HMV at around 4pm. Guess who we met there? Yilin!!!
So the crazy thing starts again. HMV is playing Faye "to give up halfway" MTV. Since this is the 1st time most of us see this MTV, we all really went a little crazy!!! I really couldn't control myself & laugh when the MTV started, 'cos Faye was sitting in front of a typewriter typing monotonously & her face expressions & body language is simply sooooo funny & cute!!! Then she certified & stamped on oranges, doing hair shampoo ad, washing detergent ad. The best part is when Faye's sitting in the roller coaster & her face expressions this time really kills. We got such a hard time maintaining our image there. Even the HMV counter staff were amused & they also looked at the MTV & smiled!
While watching Faye MTVs, the other HMV staff brought out our gifts, a "ban tu er fei" single. We met Ah Ming & Roy there too. After this, we were all satisfied & went down to Marche for a bite. We were really feeling good then. After the bite, its coming to 6pm, we went back to HMV again & this time discovered that there's another poster design actually. The rest of the fayenatics got me crazy again. This poster is the Faye starry eyed poster & is given out free with album purchase from CD-Rama. I was feeling really cheated now, esp since CD-Rama albums only costs S$18, whereas HMV & Towers costs S$20. I controlled myself & left 1st while Mingyi & the rest rushed to buy the albums, for the sake of the poster.
However, later, I regretted & called Mingyi to buy for me, she told me CD-Rama ran out of stock already!!! I was aghast, it sorta spoilt my day. Anyway, I went home to record some Faye interviews from TV. My friend called & informed me that Roy volunteered to buy for me the poster. When I heard also that Roy got the "she jie" single from Music Junction, I was very envious too!!!
Anyway, I'm now the proud owner of the Faye starry eyed poster, thanks to Roy!!! I'll still keep looking for the "she jie" single.
I just want to conclude that this 2-Oct has been a crazy day & night for me, I was not so high last year when Faye released her album where EMI organised a premier sale for her at Tiong Bahru. I've told Mingyi & Yilin, I'm not joining them next year & pls dun tempt me again!!! But you know, next year (1 whole year again!), who knows what'll happen again???
Moral of the Story -- Never put all your eggs into a single basket. We shall only buy 1 album from all major record stores, like HMV, Towers, CD-Rama & Music Junction. Hey, we're all learning from experience!!!
Hmmmmmmm, I really enjoyed your faye album chasing stories...hehe, I might as well write mine 2 even though it is boring compare to the others... Welll, naturally, ever since 9/28 when I heard it came out in HK I have been dying to get it ...imagine my surprise when john told us he got it already on 10/1!!!!! Imagine my anticipation until Saturday when I could go out to Chinatown to get it....I went to Asian music first and I saw only like 10 copies of the album and NO poster...I went to 4 other cd stores and no posters either!!!!!! I went to that Mei Ligh House and they have a poster pasted high above the store front but they r all sold out =**( the owner said maybe thursday have new stock...=0( O yeah, there r 2 version of the plastic cover, one in Kidprint and the other in block letters? I love those pics, especially the ones after Tong where she is laughing!!!!! She looks so fresh and young in them!!!! rather disappointed in the quantity of pics though, only 11 of the 32 page booklet r pics!!!!!!!! I really love the songs...they r all great!!!!! When I first hear dthem on Ed's hp, I was so disappointed...especially in Fly, You, Little Smart...I was totally shocked when I heard JIng Tong talking in Tong!!!! I cant believe faye actually would do this!!! Now this is absolutely my favorite song of the album!!!! I really like all the songs faye composed...I like Fly 2 now...the layered vocals r sooooooooooo beautiful...I reallly like Forgive myself too, it is soooooooo good... the worst song is You but I think it is good though so u could imagine the quality of this album!!! O yeah, I love the part at the end of Face where it sounds like a fullblown chorus singing!!! Ok, ok, I know I'm rambling, sowie....I'm playing the cd over and over today, each time, I like it more and more, hehe, ok, I'll stop...
A happy fayenatic, Glori
I just like to share my experiences with all of u. I went HMV first and heard that if buy 2 albums U'll get a chance to win "ban tu er fei" single. I bought 2 pairs to increase my chance, but bad luck befell me and both struck a "thank u" words only! Damn not happy! But saw Faye's "ban tu er fei" and "she jie" MTV and captivated me for 3 rounds b4 meeting other Fayenatics. When I saw them get the "ban tu er fei" singles. I was so crazy that almost buy some more to win it. But advices from Mingyi and Sujuan prevents my crazy idea. instead told me to go Music Junction as their promotion is first 200 customers get singles for free. I went stret away to tiong bahru MJ but was dumbfounded when they told me no more stock. but later begged the "busy" or so she claimed salesgirl to help me ask other branches to order for me. She refused but told me try J8 MJ. Rushed there but surprised at what I got....."she jie" single. Later did i learned that it's only 50 per branch and mine was one of the last one. How lucky though it's not the "ban tu er fei", dunno whether to feel sad or happy. Wonder how many of u out there got this single? then I called EMI office for their closing time, it's past, it's 5:30 but then it was oredi 6, begged them again to wait for me. got around there at 6:45 but after thorough search found it only at 7:30. Wha, tell u the look of the building is so misleading! When I got there, I was disappointed when got the same poster as the one i get in HMV. they later told me the other version can get at CD-rama. Again, not giving up, rushed to orchard outlet, after receiving news that near HMV no more stocks. But lady luck was smiling at me. Orchard has it. got one for myself. This time really lots of diff stuffs to give away, makes my face more red than Faye's sunburnt look and high. a happy day, though sad can't get the other single. To sum it up, it's very exciting! and it's worth all the effort! admist my excitement, the most diappointing one is, I left all 4CDs at the EMI office! thanx to those of u who have read till here and share my experience.
This is it, as "heard" or rather "guessed" by Xiangrun of the word said by Jing Tong in "Tong".
--Hi pple! I tried to make out what Jing Tong is saying in the centre of the song...please forgive me if I made any mistakes... I tried my best to make out what she is saying....
???? [The starting is too hard to make out? Anyone can help?] dai4 yan3 jing1 [wear spectacles??] zhang3 sheng1 [sound of a clap] xiao2 chou4 [clown] dai4 yan3 jing1 [wear spectacles??] wo3 she4 sui2 [Who am I] hmm... liu [Six] hmm.... wo [Me? Maybe Five?] hmm... mmmmmmm... A [Letter A] chu qu [Go Out] ho![Five perhaps?] liu [Six] wu [Five] liu [Six] ma.. ma... [Not explanation needed] wu wu wu...... [Dunno if this is the number five or just cute sounds?] Your Friendly Friend, Xiangrun
I have listened to Faye's disc over and over again.....I think I can now say more specifically why I prefer Faye's newest Cantonese offerings to their Chinese equivalents.
For "Forgive myself" I feel that Faye's voice can 'eat' into the song more, meaning that she sounds clearer and more 'synchronised' with the music really blending into the music seamlessly than "Give up halfway".
For "Repayment" , Faye sounds more crisp and crystal-clear than "Red Bean"
For "Sex Commandments", Faye very strong emphasis on the word at the end of each phrase sounds strange and out of place , her handling of the Cantonese "Love Commandments" is so much better, less emphasis on the end word and more restrained rendition , sounding just awesome.
As always, after first listening of the album , I was a bit disappointed by the album. Same thing when I listen to YHSIH and Fu Zhao for the first time. The reason this time being I am so eager to hear new things from Faye.... I just felt she is capable of so much more! This time, so many of her songs have 'equivalents' in her previous album. "Forgive Oneself" and "Give Up Halfway" sounds like "Toe Hoe Ji Gei" (Satisfy yourself) in the way she use her voice to 'drag' over different notes and also the slight Hindi music flavour. "Red Bean" is a common sentimental ballad......thought it is weak though..not like "Dated". I have great expectations for "Face" since Faye say herself this is her most satisfied track on the album. Well, it is not commercial.....confirming Faye's disliking for commercialized music..........the tune is fresh and quite up to standard.....but maybe I really had very high expectations..I was a bit disappointed when I heard it........the opera-ish singing very high notes......quite uncommon in today's Chinese pop music.....sound a bit like "Huai Nian" in the YHSIH album where she changes the original Cocteau twins very alternative style to a lullabic style and there is this part when she 'la-la-la........' until a few very high notes up the scale.......I think Faye enjoys singing in extraordinary high voice.
For "Fly" , "You" I think Faye has done similar songs before. Ok lah......maybe I like Faye so much that I expect so much more from her than other artistes.........I feel that she shouldn't waste her talent.......she can do so much more!
I have to say "Tong" is a impressive track! Techno dancey tune is something she has not dabble in before and to dedicate this to her beloved "Jing Tong" is just so cool! I thought Faye's lyrics was well written too....I especially like the part when she sings "Ni Shi Tian De An Pai" "Ni shi Wo De Yi Lai" thot the sounds of the words provides Faye with the right sound to 'twist' and 'manipulate' to fit aptly into the tune of the song if u get what I mean.
One thing I wish to point out is I feel all the 3 Cantonese tracks are superior to their Chinese counterparts.........."Love Commandments" as a number of you has mentioned that you liked better than "Sex Commandments"........I think Faye sang them differently...in the canto ..she sounds better.....the Chinese one I can't really point out why......just feel the sound of the words not gd enough
On "Red Bean" Faye sounded a little coarse and her voice is not as clear and crisp as in the Canto version "Repay".......the crystal-clear Faye trademark voice is not heard in "Red Bean"
Also, I think Faye did a better job on "Forgive oneself"...........she handled the Canto differently as compared to the Chinese "Ban Tu Er Fei" Initially when it first came out on 93.3fm (radio) I like it very much except for one small 'flaw' , it seems that Faye almost went out of tune.(or is it intentional on Faye's part to make it more difficult to sing.....hehe...I am always finding good things to say about Faye) at the part just before the chorus.........."Dao Zui Hou fan fan fu fu man man lu lu xin xin ku ku bu zhi wei le shen mer, ban tu er fei......" the "dao zui hou" I can hear Faye almost went off tune.been thinking of the reason .............but when I hear the Canto version.....Faye did a much better job on that "part" ...also it seems Faye the technique of emphasis on certain words very well in the Canto version.......the Chinese version..Faye is okay but it really pales in comparison to the Canto one.......the part when she went....."Yun Leong Ji Gei , Men Bai shi Fei.... " so awesome..so fayeish The .GEI and FEI are just so nice to hear sang in faye's voice ...........the way Faye brings up those two corresponding words in the Chinese version is so plain and like just sing thru without 'dragging' , 'emphasizing' and manipulating.
The above is just my personal feelings...anyone agree with me? Or disagree..I will be glad to discuss Faye's music with anyone anytime......just mail me or if everyone don't mind, to the list!
Well finally got the long awaited new album by Faye...why is every Faye album long awaited.....??? I couldn't hide my smiles when i saw it...hehe...anyway, i am greedy so i am very disappointed that the booklet on contains a few pics of Faye...i would rather have "normal" pictures than these computer graphics as background....my first reaction is they did a great job with the design, etc. love the @ logo for A Production House. My first listen: Disappointed. That's it?? My second listen at home: Wow! That's it??? My third listen....i like it, but i don't want it!!! Yes, i wish Faye did something different than what this new album is right now....keep Tong of course...eeerrgg, i don't know...i never can turn away from faye's voice....so i don't think i can pass judegement on these songs...... if you listen to it carefully, with the exception of Red Bean, the album sounds very much like a combination of Impatiences and Wong Faye....with more toward Wong Faye album though..... oh, well....anyway, i don't know what to say lah.....later....
I've got the limited edition CD, with 10 chinese songs in one cd and 3 bonus cantonese tracks in another. I bought it on the first day that it was released in Singapore, I rushed to a music shop immediately after school that day to grab one of Faye's album! I feel that the packaging and design of the CD is real nice and cool too ! After listening to faye's new album for the past few days, I feel that it is indeed a good album. The songs are very nice and Faye wrote some of the songs e.g : Love life,Face,Small clever & Tong. So far, I like songs - Face, Give up halfway , Red bean & Tong the best for the chinese songs. I like the song 2 - Repayment among the three cantonese tracks best ! The song 'Tong' is really cute with jing tong's participation .... :) ...... This album is selling very well and is already up the charts after a few days of release.... All the way...FAye !!!!! yeah !!!!
Faye Forever .............. Liyan.
