hello mr. eric!

A friend recommended me to to her a few weeks ago and I didn’t have a chance to give her a listen until a couple days ago.  I was greatly surprised.  I really didn’t expect to hear what I did.  She has a very clear, deep and full voice, unlike most HK/TW singers, and she’s only 19!  It’s unbelievable that she has such a mature sounding voice.  She has a hint of jazz and soul and remind me of when I first heard Norah Jones.

Her debut album was good, but what really hooked me was her youtube channel.  She performs a lot of covers of classics from the 70s and 80s.  Most of the songs or artists I’ve not even heard before, but I still enjoyed watching her performances.  Even her original songs are well written.  She keeps things simple and it brings out a lot of emotion (you can totally see in the way she expresses with her face) when she sings each song.  I enjoyed this cover of My Favourite Things from The Sound of Music quite a bit.

From what I’ve read, she wasn’t happy with her album because she had to follow the decisions of her record company on what to sing and how to sing it.  She seems to have a very direct attitude towards music and I respect that.  I hope she will be able to record an album the way she wants, it will definitely be a treat to hear it.  For now, check out her channel and enjoy the music.
