Album Review - 林宥嘉's 神秘嘉宾 - Part 1

i've nv reviewed an album so fast before. it's like i am pressed for time to finish listening to it.. except i am not.. just too eager to fill my ears with YOGA's voice. :)

FINALLY.. 宥嘉发片了！

at 1st listen, his music reminded me of 石康军.. except 宥嘉's style is a little more smooth.. it's like listening to 石康军 at an opera theatre.. it has a refreshing kinda sound and each track has it's own personality.

needless to say, my current favourite is 神秘嘉宾. but there are also a few others that are worth more listens as the album progresses.

the opening track, 眼色, is very drama.. very broadway and i can totally imagine the stage layout if YOGA were to perform it during a concert. one word abt the song - haunting.

the one that caught my attention 1st was track 5, 伯乐. "uncle happy"? haha.. i dunno wat that means in mandarin but the lyrics seems meaningful. and i can realli feel his emotions through the song.. i dunno how he does it, but he just nails it every time.. at least for me.

then there is this swingy, jazzy track called 病态 that also sounds similar to the way he delivered 走钢索的人 during 超级星光大道. but i prefer 走钢索的人 in this case. i guess the original is alwaes better than the sequel.

there is a song that has such a desperate tone to it that i can almost feel my heart being wrung out. 请说 sounds boring at 1st but the chorus kinda stays with you, even after the song has ended, the 琅琅上口 kind. and if u pay attention to the lyrics, u will find it quite painful.

in 残酷的月亮, YOGA adopted the signature 转音 of 陶晶莹. which i normally felt it was a technique meant for ppl who can't sing for nuts. well, apparently not. guess it is now a style! otherwise, i quite the track.. it's calming and very melodious.

and then there is that annoying 刘力杨 whom nobody knows, and dunno why dueting with so many cute guys. this time she is dueting with YOGA on a track called 传说。 it's a boring track if u ask me. *shrugs shoulders*

Part 2 of review coming up - wait for it!
