Scandal-plagued beauty Edison Chen is back with a new album. Mr Chen was recently seen working on the video of I Can Fly, which will be included in his upcoming album Confusion, due out on December 30. The album is his first after the nude photo scandal of 2008, which almost ruined his career.
Mr Chen has gathered some of his musician friends to help him work out the album, which he said would reflect his recovery from the scandal. The song I Can Fly is written by Jay Chou, and is about not giving up hope in the face of adversity.
He's so pretty, and nice and stylish, but... not very gifted. Hope he gets a hit, or something.

ReplyDeletei've been listening to this album & trying to decide whether i like it, or not.
you know i've always been sympathetic to his case. but the way he's written the materials for this comeback album - drawn of course almost entirely from the whole scandale experience - strikes me as a tad on the self-righteous side. but i'm not decided. i need to listen to it carefully again...

Dear EA: You're truly sweet. I couldn't make myself listen to the entire track even. The boy is cute, and stylish and so, so nice but he isn't musical at all, and neither can he act. I do so want him to have a hit and get on with it, but alas, some things are perhaps not meant to be. Is the jay chou tune of any help? One does want to see edison happy again, instead of forever hovering under this dreadful cloud.
ReplyDeleteyes unfortunately he's singing in Mandarin in this album, and his diction is belaboured to put it mildly. but he does sound much in Cantonese (from his past albums).
ReplyDeletei don't know abt this Jay Chou song; it isn't as catchy as the usual 周杰伦 numbers. but track 13, 'Sky Blue Pink 破晓时刻', is actually not half bad. check it out if you have a chance.
