Music Recommendation
David Tao's Black Tangerine (Hei Se Liu Ding)
An album that took David Tao 32 months to come up with. What can you expect? Nice work definitely. David was tauted to be a person who can change the music scene in Taiwan. He was one of the first Chinese Singer to go R&B. When Alex To or Harlem Yu, doing their R&B, the music scene were still having a majority of Ballad. But when he came up with his album, the chinese music industry began to move towards R&B which now have R&B prince Jay Chou and newcomer Vanese Wu.
In this album, he make some changes from his previous albums and have a larger variety of music in his album, e.g "Melody" and "Tonight's News".
He also re-make singing legend, Teresa Teng's, "Moon Represents My Heart" into "Moon Represents Whose Heart". Using Chinese instrument as a start, and inject R&B flavour into this ballad, a nice combination. Teresa's version is more to a 'female' version while David's voice prove that guys do have a gentle side too...
Definitely an album that should not be given a miss, go get it... out in stores now... remember: support the original...
