Korean, Chinese and Japanese Music

When it comes to music recording, Jane Zhang has always preferred a live setting where the interaction with the audience and her heightened mood combine to make the best and purest performance. So, on the 7th anniversary of her major debut, the China pop diva decides to return to the raw, unadulterated state of music with her first live album, which was recorded on April 9th, 2012 with a big band in front of an audience of lucky fans. Produced by Taiwanese hitmaker Jim Lee, Listen to Jane Z Live focuses on the singer’s beautiful voice, impeccable delivery, and strong live presence. The eclectic set list includes both original new songs and classic covers, such as the twin main plugs, the refreshing ballad “Not So Easy” and the English-language single I Didn’t Know..

After a six-year absence, Sandy Lam returns to the studio for her long-awaited new album Gaia! Tired of making “safely bland” music, the Hong Kong pop diva didn’t go the usual way of enlisting a big-name producer this time. Instead, she took the reins herself in order to convey her candid feelings in her bold and experimental new sound that is nonetheless in her signature style. More than two years in the making, this breakthrough album – completed with the collaboration of Mainland music prodigy Chang Shilei – is named after the Greek word for “the Mother of Earth” and bearing themes of life, nature, and faith. Written and composed by Sandy, the first plug “Speechless Song” (Track 1) is her prayer for the world today. Other major cuts include the Jun Kung-composed titular track “Gaia” (Track 8), “Persimmon” (Track 9), and the Cantonese song “Impermanence” (Track 3)..
