36: S.H.E Encore

Holidays? Not really...

December, has always been a month that I look forward to when I was a kid.
A month long of holidays, that you can sleep late and wake up late.
Best of all: no worries for examinations!

Just realised that there's lots of stuffs to keep me occupied this December holidays.
My last december holidays before I step out of school.

Looking on the bright side...
there are other events to look forward to other than indulging myself in project work.
Glad that I'm meeting up with some old friends over the coming weekend and holidays.
A time to get together to update each other on our lives.
and also a short getaway trip... to revitalise myself before the start of this last semester.

Signing off for now.
In the meantime, hope that everyone will spend this month fruitfully before moving on to the new year!

11-2004年发行/HIM(华研)

My favourite (happens to be the only I've bought as well) S.H.E's album to date.

Frankly speaking, I've never been an avid fan of them.
But I have to admit that they have improved remarkably over the years.

From girl-next-door image in the earlier stages of their career, to becoming one of the most popular and successful groups now.

简约的介绍专辑:

续“热带雨林”与“河滨公园”,与周董再次合作“候鸟”。
改以抒情歌作为专辑的首播主打,是有点吃亏。
但胜在旋律易记,是典型的K歌模式。

接下来,以编曲强劲的快歌“痛快”,呈现S.H.E动感的一面。
称得上是“Superstar”的延续篇。

“我爱你”请来了国外的Sweetbox制作。
所幸的是,S.H.E的歌声没被大器的编曲掩盖。

"斗牛士之歌”与“大女人主义”,S.H.E以较成熟的演绎试图摆脱女孩形象,
慢慢步入小女人的阶段。让人耳目一新的尝试。

喜欢“金钟罩铁布衫”,是她们拿手的轻快可爱曲风。
给人一种回到童年时光的感觉。

不过翻唱Japanese Boy的“对号入座”是我每回听的时候,一定skip的歌曲。
与之前类似的翻唱歌曲“A.I.A.O"一样,已超出我可以接受的“可爱”范围。
而且利用熟口熟面的翻唱歌来凑足一张专辑,是我认为缺乏新意,扣分的一种作法。

结论:欣赏她们不断求进步的精神。
我认为有天时地利的配合其实是不够的。
若要走更长远的路,就得靠实力。
至少从她们身上,我可以观察到这一点。

B+
