《逆光》Album review


《逆光》- 8.5/10
A slow rock song. The starting of the song is slow and soothing while it enters the chorus in a strong rock style. Upon listening to this song, you can feel that Stefanie Sun is back with a lot of hope no matter in her love life or career. A very powerful 1st hit of the album.

《梦游》- 7/10

This song makes one feel like you are in dreamland. The instrumental of the song is very nice and can destress you from a day's work. It gives the very musical feeling, just like you are watching a live musical in esplanade. A very refreshing song indeed.
《咕叽咕叽》- 9/10
A fast and funny track. The lyrics of this song dont really make any sense, but make you wanna laugh. The song enters a slow soothing part at a point and has a small sexy english rap which makes the song very unique. An excellent breakthough of the album

《我怀念的》- 9/10
Her typical love ballad. The song lyrics is very meaningful and this song is real touching. It was moved up to the 2nd hit of the album suddenly and many would understand why after listening to it. Its story line seems to be the same as《我也很想他》and sounds as good as well. Highly recommended song!

《安宁》- 8/10
A really slow and close to the heart song. Nice melody and good lyrics makes a perfect match for the production of this song under Stefanie's hands. On top of that, her clear vocals brings out the emotions of this song very well. However, it will be a better song if it was lengthened. It gives me the 《眼泪成诗》and 《同类》mix together the feeling.

《飘着》- 8.5/10
A slow rock number. Very soothing piano accompaniment at the start plus good expression from her vocals before a rock element chorus makes this song irresistable. It gives me the exact forceful feeling as 《逆光》has on me. Nice bridge and the re entry to chorus is excellent.

《爱情的花样》- 6.5/10

A fast track. The starting verse of the song is nice, but when it enter the chorus, it minus points for the song. It gives the very retro and hokkien feeling, brings you back to the 60s when a-go-go dance is popular.

《漩涡》- 9/10

A love ballad which requires lots of skills. Its understandable why she took 12 days to record this song as the tune is varying as she needs to constantly change between falsetto and her normal voice, not to forget the emotions needed to be expressed in the song. The song enters a rock style in the bridge, making the song a different kind of ballad and my personal number one of the album. Highly recommended song!
《需要你》- 8.5/10
A love ballad produced by Stefanie herself. I love the melody and musical arrangement of the song as well as the excellent chorus which contains a killer falsetto part. This proves why she remains as the best female singer in the region. Beautiful song.

《关于》- 7.5/10
Not the typical kind of slow number from yanzi. It gives a very different feeling with a very strong bit in throughout the chorus. Refreshing feeling and its Stefanie personal favourite of the album.

Overall: 81.5%
This is the best rating for a album I have given, this album is full of hits and i am sure it would be well received by the public.
