AFTER CD ALBUM 2005 (CANTONESE)
No need to introduce him i guess...popular HK singer/actor who has been around for sometime now...Started as a singer, he has very good vocals, but has been acting more these years , mostly in comedies...pretty funny too the roles that he plays...
This album was released in 2005, featuring hit single , "mo lai" (Rascal) and a few other really catchy and memorable sentimental tracks..I don't really like the faster tracks though...but that's me....
Well, side trek a little.........For me since my younger days, I always enjoy listening to HK singers/bands singing in their original language(Cantonese that is, and yes I do understand what they are singing...) ..not really when they sing in Mandarin....and Why? Cos it is more "natural" and lyrics/meaning usually fits the songs better.......
This is an enjoyable Cantonese release by this talented singer, and one of the few HK singers who I enjoy listening to.
Ratings:3.5/5

TIME FLIES EP(CANTONESE, HONG KONG) WITH DVD(2010) 陳奕迅
Eason, Eason...mmm...I have always liked his Cantonese releases, and I think he is one of the BETTER singers out there, who probably cares more about music than his image or being an idol. He has a very good vocal and has worked with good song writers and lyricists to come up with very captivating and meaningful songs. Before this, his last FULL LENGTH is “H3M” in 2009, which I will give it a solid “4/5”.
As for this EP, mmm...not sure how I can rate....For music, I will give it a 3/5 as I prefer the slower tracks though...I think his vocals bring out the emotion and beauty of the songs. As for album cover picture, I am not so sure what he is trying out actually with long hair and image....just to “tie” with the album's title/theme? Or maybe paying tribute to another beloved singer who has passed on? Whichever it is...for me, I hope for a FULL LENGTH to be out very soon...
Anyways, fav tracks are: 1. 無人之境 3. 一絲不掛 4. 陀飛輪 ,

EASON CHAN
H3M ALBUM 2009
I am not a CANTOPOP “FREAK “ fan , but i do like a lot of different kinds of music, that includes exploring music from different countries and languages !
I started listening to HK Cantonese songs since my much younger school days(my generation, you have Canto pop stars like Alan Tam, Leslie Cheung, Jacky Cheung, Anita Mui...Beyond etc etc...) Amazing singers I must say! Those were the times when cassettes are more popular, about $6-8 here...no cds yet at that time....I will buy these albums when they are released and play it in my “Toshiba” cassette player and walkman...heh...
OK back to this ...I do find that he is ONE of the better singers that has emerged from the scene in recent years. He also has good songwriters to work with. For this album, he worked with other musicians(9 others i think) and each of them writing a song into this album.
I like this album although most of the tracks are more laid back, relaxing, from slow to mid tempo........and yes..It is good for chilling out in the night with a cup of tea, and gently tapping your fingers to the music...:)...Few tracks i like 於心有愧 , 七百年後 , Life Goes On , 不來也不去 , 沙龍
This album is probably not “stretching” his vocal talents very much...BUT it is still an easy listening one.
