This is Lilian Ho's (or He Jia Li) second EP (note : this increasingly popular singer had just released her debut LP "Occupy" only about half a year ago).  There are five songs including the title-track "Outrageous Thoughts" plus three karaoke-instrumental tracks.  A bonus VCD is enclosed which contains the MTV for "Outrageous Thoughts".

Snowman is a composer cum arranger who has just released his debut self-titled album.  Also known as Eric Kwok, his works include Gigi Leung's "I Like" found in her "Today" EP.  This album has ten tracks and it comes bundled with a VCD containing four new music videos, namely, "Next Station", "New Song", "Ya Zhi Ya Zuo" and a duet "Rainy Day" sung with Gigi Leung.

BACK TO TOP

This is the brand new album from Beyond, and possibly the last one for a while as the guys are going separate ways to further their individual careers.  Officially, the group is not dispersed yet and its members are merely following the same career path tactics as taken by Western groups like Spice Girls (think Mel C & Baby Spice) and Boyzone (think Ronan Keating).  

This CD contains ten tracks which are wholly produced by Beyond and they include the title track "Good Time".

BACK TO TOP

Valen Hsu has released her second Cantonese offering "Happy Me".  Strictly this is an EP because it contains only five Cantonese tracks, notwithstanding the inclusion of three additional Mandarin songs which were already included in her latest Mandarin album "Victory".  These latter three tracks are "Victory" (or Zhen Ai Wu Di), "Happy Me" (or Wo Jiu Shi Zhe Mo Kuai Le) and the duet with William So "Star" (or Heng Xing).  Coming back to the Cantonese numbers, there are two advertisement theme-songs which are also the first two singles, namely, "Hair" (endorsing "Head & Shoulders" shampoo product) and "The Woman Who's Like A Cat" (for a "Hello Kitty" and  Hong Kong Telecoms tie-up promotion).  

The limited-edition CD comes with a bonus VCD which contains the music videos for the aforementioned two Cantonese tracks and three Mandarin songs.  Other goodies include a "Hello Kitty" calculator, a "Hello Kitty" phone-game card and ten stickers of Xiu Xiu.

Even before the release of Leon's latest Cantonese album, it has already made news by causing a massive cyberspace traffic jam on 24 October last month when its title track was available for a one-day preview listening over the Internet (note : reportedly, 1.4 million hits were recorded within that 24 hours - awesome!).  The album also scores a first in the Cantonese pop music industry by promoting its title track over the Net prior to its official release.

Altogether there are nine tracks in this CD, including two special dance remixes of "Sugar In The Marmalade" and "Happy 2000" (note : the original version of these two tracks have already been included in Leon's previous Cantonese album "Leon Now" and Mandarin album "Belongs To Me" respectively), plus a piano instrumental piece of one of the new songs called "You Are My Friend".  As such, there are only six new tracks and furthermore, one of the new tracks is actually an interlude, thereby leaving us with only five full-length new songs.  Hence I would seriously consider this release as an EP rather than a LP.

The album CD comes with a bonus VCD which contains four music videos, including two brand new songs (the title track "Visual Trip" and the second single "That's Life") and two Mandarin tracks ("Belongs To Me" and "I Am Not Anyone" found originally in his latest Mandarin album "Belongs To Me" - some guys from Sony must have read my comment :))

Eason Chan has released a two-CD Cantonese cum Mandarin album.   CD 1 contains five brand new Cantonese songs, including the first single "Happy Ferris Wheel".  CD 2 contains six Cantonese/ Mandarin live-concert performance tracks, among which are some cover songs like Anthony Wong's "Exposed" (or Chun Guang Zha Xie) and the late Danny Chan's "Had You" (or You Le Ni).

BACK TO TOP

Brand new Cantonese offering from Heavenly King Andy Lau (or Liu De Hua).  After his collaboration with Kenny G last year, Andy has once again teamed up with another international musician (this time, from Japan) in one of the tracks titled "Pain" which is also the first single.  He's none other than Koji Tamaki (or Yu Zhi Hao Er) formally the ex-lead singer & song-writer from the successful group An Quan Di Dai.  Altogether there are ten new tracks here.  

The album comes with a bonus AVCD which contains three music videos : "Pain", "Follow Me Whole-Heartedly" and "Love You For Ten Thousand Years".  The latter two tracks have already been included in his recent best-selling concert album "Live In Concert'99" and are therefore not found in his current new CD.

BACK TO TOP

After the success of her debut EP "Any Weather" earlier this year, Cecilia Cheung (or Zhang Bo Zhi) has released her first full-length Cantonese album "Destination".  

Altogether there are twelve tracks, including the first single "Keep Thinking", the title track "Destination" (which aptly is the millennium theme song for the Hong Kong MRT network), an additional remix of "Destination", a new remix of her previous EP hit number "Any Weather" and the Cantonese version of "Star/Heart Words" which is a theme song of the movie "Star Wish" starring Cecilia herself and Richie Ren (side-note : the Mandarin version has already been included in her EP "Any Weather"). 

The CD album comes enclosed with a bonus VCD containing the music videos of "Keep Thinking " and "Destination".

BACK TO TOP

Brand new Cantonese offering from Daniel Chan (or Chen Xiao Dong).  There are altogether twelve tracks here, including the first single "C'est La Vie" (no, not that Chyi's new English number with the same name), a remix version of his previous hit "Spy" (or "Te Wu") and the cover of Alan Tam's hit "Love Trap" (originally included in Alan Tam's tribute album).  The CD album comes with a free Y2K Daniel Chan calendar.

BACK TO TOP

Ruby Lam (or Lin Xin Ru) has released her debut album "Hearing" (note : for those who don't know who she is yet, she's the second popular actress (after Zhao Wei) to emerge from the massive Qiong Yao TV hit serial "My Fair Princess" or "Huang Zhu Ge Ge").  On the day of its release in Hong Kong, more than ten thousand copies of the album were reportedly snapped up within three hours - awesome!

Her debut effort is actually an EP containing one Cantonese number and four Mandarin songs.  One of the Mandarin tracks "Together For Life & Death" sets a record by being the first theme song ever for a comic book (note : it's worth noting that the comic book is drawn by HK comics magnate Huang Yu Lang and is based on the popular sword-fighting novel "The Condor Heroes " by Jin Yong).

The EP album comes bundled with a bonus VCD containing the music videos for four of the tracks.  Unfortunately, "Together For Life & Death" is the odd one out by being the only song not included in the VCD.

This 2-CD album is recorded in one of Hong Kong's regularly-held "La Kuo" concerts.  This particular concert pays tribute to four famous song-writers of Hong Kong music industry : lyricist Lin Xi, composer Mark Lui (or Lei Song De), composer Kor Ka Fai (or Gu Jia Hui) and lyricist Huang Zhan - hence the album name "Xi De Hui Huang".  Ten artistes were roped in to sing their compositions, they include Kit Chan, Andy Hui, Kelly Chan, Valen Hsu, Dick & The Cowboys, Priscilla Chan, William So, Eddie Ng (or Wu Guo Jing), Anthony Wong and Ronald Cheng.  Refer below for the comprehensive song list.

This is Leslie's brand new Cantonese album since joining Universal Music earlier this year.  Altogether there are eleven tracks here, out of which two are Mandarin songs.  One of them is the ballad "You Are The Star" which is the main-theme song from Leslie's forthcoming new movie "The Kid" (or "Liu Xing Yu"); there's also a Cantonese version titled "Little Star" of this same track.  The CD album comes with a bonus AVCD which contains two music videos for "You Are The Star" and "Little Star", plus a whopping twenty instrumental sound-tracks from the same movie "The Kid".

BACK TO TOP

The long-awaited multi-language duet album from William So is finally out.  Here's the complete list of all the singers who pair up with him : Patrick Tam (or Tan Yao Wen), Beyond's Huang Guan Zhong, Valen Hsu (they sang the Mandarin duet "Star" which was already included in Valen Hsu's latest Mandarin album "Victory"), China's Tian Zheng, Japan's Yuko Yamaguchi (or Shan Kou You Zi) (they sang the Japanese duet version of the theme song "Believe" from the Japanese hit TV series "Over Time"), The Power Station (they sang the Mandarin duet "What About Love"), LMF, Andy Hui, Kelly Chan and of cos Kit Chan (in the Cantonese hit duet "The Night Is Still Young").  The CD comes bundled with a bonus VCD which contains five music videos including "Star" with Valen Hsu, "What About Love" with The Power Station and "Heaven Knows" with Patrick Tam.  To tie in with William's recently-announced marriage, the record company has also enclosed a specially-recorded CD single called "My Lady" which is devoted to William's Singaporean wife.  Talk about perfect timing :)

BACK TO TOP

Edmond Leung (or Liang Han Wen) has released his latest Cantonese offering in which he is spotted having a rugged look unlike his clean-cut boy-next-door images in his past albums.  This is a two-CD package : the first CD contains five brand new tracks including the title track "Tai Tai Tai Tai" while the second CD contains five cover versions of HK pop songs originally sung by other singers, such as The Grasshoppers' "Unhappy Land" (or "Shi Le Yuan) and Aaron Kwok's "Crying Talk" (or "Ru Qi Ru Shu").

BACK TO TOP

A new album from Bondy Chiu (or Zhao Xue Er).  Unfortunately she is better known these days as the "older woman who is dating a younger Nicholas Tse" than as a music artiste, despite having seen better days in her music career, especially about four years back when she did churn out some truly golden pop hits like "Every Two Seconds" and "I Hate I Am A Woman".  This latest limited-edition release CD comes bundled with a bonus VCD which contains the music videos for her two new tracks "Lucky To See" and "Missing", a mouse pad and a novel booklet.

BACK TO TOP

Leo Ku's latest Cantonese album is out.  There are two music versions of the title track "Weather Changing" : while one is arranged with a slow rock feel,  the other is given the sentimental touch.  The limited-edition album comes in a larger-than-normal size cos it includes a free 96-page diary which is called the "Leorganizer" by the marketing people in EEI.  Other goodies include a hand-phone strap, a chocolate-flavoured soap and two F&B and karaoke discount coupons which are valid in Hong Kong only. 

BACK TO TOP

This is a debut EP from a newcomer by the name of Joey Yung (or Rong Zhu Er).  Her EP has already reached the first spot in the recent HK IFPI album chart.  There are altogether five songs, including the first single "Not Known Yet" which is actually a cover of Jennifer Paige's hit "Crush".  There's even a separate remix (called the "Rush Hour Mix") version of "Not Known Yet" included.  The EP CD comes bundled with a bonus VCD which contains the music video of "Not Known Yet".

BACK TO TOP

Karen Mok's second Cantonese release after more than two years (note : her first Cantonese album would probably be better remembered as the one which showed her baring her full back on the cover).  This new release is actually an EP containing three brand new tracks which are produced by Anthony Wong (or Huang Yao Ming), they include the title track "Back", the first single "Cold Rain" and the third song "Top Score".  The EP also contains two bonus Cantonese tracks which were originally included in the Stephen Chow-Karen Mok movie soundtrack album "King Of Comedy", namely, "The Way You Make Me Feel" and "Love For A Life Time".
