Wang Leehom: Change me

Cockney Girl~LeeHom Wang

Wang Leehom's [王力宏] recent album-Change me is resonant of Leehom's limitless talent. It features mainly ballads but also includes upbeat RnB tracks which are typically Leehom's style. Recommended songs in the compilation includes:

1.Cockney Girl

Cockney Girl is one of my favourite pieces on the album, it features an encounter to a British Born chinese girl with a eastenders/east london accent. Leehom's interest in languages is instantly reflective in this song. I personally enjoyed it, being a British chinese living in London. It's nice to be acknowleged.

2.爱的鼓励

爱的鼓励 is an upbeat pop-ish song featuring Leehom's beloved Jazz piano. The introduction is amazingly boppy which leads into a range of cheerful lyrics. It's singing about Love's praise and it does want to make you dance.

3.Our Song: A duet with S.H.E's Selina, it is a must forboth S.H.E and Leehom fans. I dislike Selina's voice but she actually sounds pretty good in this. leehom's attempt at singing in taiwanese is really good, and there are jazz interludes throughout the song which is pleasant to listen to.

Overall, it is an accomplished album and i thoroughly enjoyed listened to it. Plus the man is BEAUTIFUL. A must get for Leehom fans.



5/5
