08: 梁咏琪 顺时针 新歌+精选

Review first published in 2005.



2005年发行/Forward(丰华)

2 CDs comprising of 3 new pieces, and 27 selected songs from her previous albums.

Reaching out to her 10th year in her singing career and to mark this remarkable feat, Gigi Leung released her 2nd compilation album to celebrate this achievement.

3 new singles, 偏见 and 游牧民族, and the title track, 顺时针, composed by Gigi Leung herself.

偏见 composed by Real Huang from F.I.R., impressed audiences with a band feel, and upbeat tempo, reciting from a true story of a fateful ordeal from one of her fans. An action of folly to commit suicide, that separated him from his loved one forever. Regretful of his decision, left him helpless and in sorrow for the rest of his life.
Life is indeed precious, yet unpredictable as well.


T1: 偏见 词:晴天 曲:黄汉青



顺时针 has a structured hit song formula, effortlessly gaining popularity and recognition from the audiences after several exposures.

T2: 顺时针 词:徐世珍 曲:梁咏琪



游牧民族 composed by Hong Kong's Lin Yi Feng, whose credited masterpieces include Stefanie Sun's 遇见. Typical and comfortable ballad.

T3: 游牧民族 词:阿管 曲:林一峰


My Picks:

向左走向右走: The theme song for the titled movie.
It can only be spotted in the movie soundtrack previously, thus it is definitely a wise choice to insert this symbolic track for this upcoming compilation album as well.

我很好: From her 4th album, 新鲜
Was affected by her touchy vocal performance, especially the chorus section.

胆小鬼: From her 3rd and self-titled album, Gigi
Unforgettable and relaxing melody, and easy-to-remember lyrics was well-received by audiences when released.

花火: From her 6th album, Armour
Her composition, with her involvement in the programming tasks as well. We have since then recognised her talents, and in turn, it has also successfully changed our impression of her cover girl image.

懂得爱自己: From her debut mandarin album, 短发
Adore her unwind and cheerful style, which fits her suitably.
