CD Review - 不会分离 by 光良



Finally after almost 2 years since we last heard 光良 on his last album with his all time famous K hit, 童話, that even those who dont speak chinese have learnt to sing it. Ha. His new album was out in early november. I must say, its really one that is worth waiting for. Many artists have asked for him to compose songs for them and till now I know why.

This is another string of self composed love ballads and I must say, its so K friendly that its gonna top the K charts sooner or later..

The 1st hit of the album, 不会分离, is a classic style of 光良. Not as easy to memorize and sing like 童話, but it sure grabs on to your heartstrings with his sincere voice and heartfelt lyrics. I Am Who I Am (我就是我) is another song inside the album that is always heard on the radio way before the album came out, and its another easy to play and sing ballad that Im sure everyone will fight their way to the karaoke to belt this out...

My current favourites in the album would be 住在遥远的星球, 女孩别哭 and 惊叹号. Especially 女孩别哭, its such a heart warming song that I think every guy should learn how to sing. The songs are so ear-friendly that I can repeat them over and over again without getting bored.

In all, I think this album is a decent one, not that spectacular or different from his previous ones but nevertheless an album worthy to listen to. Seldom do albums have more than 1/2 their songs being able to have potential no. one hits but I think this album sure has quite a few. This is surely one of the better albums this year if you are looking for some company over the holidays, it sure stirs up good memories of school days...



Overall ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺
