4-2006年发行/SonyBMG
This album is definitely one of my favourite albums in 2006. For most, I think the bulky package may put some people off in purchasing this album, as it comes in an box, a bit smaller than A4 size.
4 years since the last release of a Mandarin album, Karen's distinctive vocals remains as the main attraction. Even though, 手 composed by Tanya Chua did not came out as a major hit as compared to the success of 爱, this high quality album would not disappoint her fans considering the long wait for this release.
一个人睡 showcases her techniques and versatility as an award winning female vocalist.
如果没有你 which bares some resemblances to 你给我多少时间, happens to be the most popular karaoke song in this album.
Liked the way she performed 甜美生活 with ease and perfection, and the musical arrangement amplified the uniqueness of her voice.
Overall, this album works on the success formula which she has used in her last 2 Mandarin albums in SonyBMG.
My opinion: Karen really needs some form of breakthrough, planned for the next album.
Hopefully, the next wait will not be that long again.

2008...
In fact the breakthrough actually came in her next album... an elevation to composing 90% of the songs in that album. Indeed as predicted... but this form was not exactly what I would expect to come from her.
Was input-ing her previous works into my ipod a few days ago.
Adore her songs... especially during her stay in Rock Records.
Just managed to get hold of a second hand copy of her compilation album released by her former company recently and finally.
Yes, another fruitful treasure-hunting session.

星光插播！
听林宥嘉唱出不一样的感觉。男生版的诠释是否有所不同？

T5: 一个人睡 词：李焯雄 曲：Rachael Yamagata/John Alagia
Tried my luck searching for the original song... and here it is.
Actually not really in touch with English songs all this while, but I'm truly impressed after hearing it for the first time.
Solid and flawless live performance!
