 Discover Wu Qiong... Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
I wanted to offer a subtly alternate review so possible buyers can guage their own potential to enjoy this release. I thought perhaps my review could aid others in hearing the predominately rock edge of this disk...because other than some soulful tone to track 7, I don't pick up on any other "R&B" that has been mentioned previously. I know that's just my own hearing, but, more than one review is generally helpful even if the impressions of the reviewers don't merge perfectly in every aspect.

In fact, if I could pick one singer as a comparible for this CD, it would be American singer Kelly Clarkson. She is someone who also does power-rock, rock-ballads and basic sultry ballads well. And this CD is defintely one that immediately from the stellar track 1 reminded me far more of typical Western music and melodies one would hear on a standard radio station in the United States.

Track 1 opens on a spectacular gem of mellow rock that instantly introduces the listener to the consistant style of this CD and showcases the strong vocals of the singer. The melody is extremely catchy with a powerful refrain to make a powerful rock ballad-to-mid tempo song that is truly memorable. Track 2 is primarily acoustic guitar with hypnotic strumming to a tranquil tone of an over-all rock feel. This track really showcases the artists flare for vocal range and ability in that she can change octaves in the chorus effortlessly and to great effect. Track 3 really is a bit of a (pleasant) surprise since it sounds almost like an American country song. I almost imagine that someone like Carrie Underwood is about to sing...but then Wu Qiong begins in Mandarin. It's actually quite engaging and the style really does work here! It's still mostly acoustic quitar, but the melody is quite complex and engaging. Extremely unique to the Mandarin music market, and yet it doesn't upset the flow in consistancy of style of the disk since there is enough rock edge with the guitars to maintain stability. Track 4 is a piano ballad with a peaceful, relaxed feel that showcases Wu Giong's light and airy upper register for the first focused time. Track 5 is my personal favorite and I highly recommend hearing this track! This really, truly is more typical of a Kelly Clarkson or even Avril Lavigne song than anything I've ever heard in Mandarin. It's a total power-rock song with majestically soaring vocals and heavy refrain that builds into an intently orchastrated chorus with stellar lush vocals and several octave changes for even more interest. Amazing! Track 6 actually does stroll a bit back into standard Chinese music-market terrain with being a simple pop ballad. The song has some 80s elements, and Wu Qiong's vocals seem a bit lower register on this track, to the point where she reminds me a bit of Chilean (Latin music-market) singer Myriam Hernandez...but since I also think Myriam is a great singer, that's OK with me! Track 7 is a bit on the boring side for me personally...after all the more rock-tinged tracks, this one seems a bit lack-luster. If another less talented singer were the artist, maybe I wouldn't expect so much from the song. But, as it is buried in a supberb disk, the track feels quite predictable in melody and staid in the beats. It also seems that less vocal effort was expended here. Track 8 is another (not as pleasant) surprise on this jewel of a CD. This time, Wu Qiong wanders a bit from her rock genre into a stange blend of hip-hop opening that melds into a dance track...but oddly enough, the dance sound isn't what you'd expect...it's a mix of rock-dance that makes the song seem as though it's in the midst of an identity crisis. It's great for interest, but not an interest that will probably be held for long, it's ultimately forgettable because there isn't any one thing on which to focus for tone or true style. Track 9 is a sleepy piano ballad intro that intriquingly rises into a rock chorus that takes this song to a whole new level: the level of Wu Qiong in her element! The sudden rock chorus during what seemed a fluid ballad is a powerful showcase to the ability of Wu Qiong to express herself with her vocals and range. Track 10 closes out this masterpiece with a light, airy piano ballad that stumbles over some almost caberet elements until finally the catchy rock niche is hit mid-way into the song to close it out in true form.

This item is already on "track it down" status here at YesAsia, and that is exactly what I would recommend buyers to do! I already have 3 friends waiting for copies of this release based on having had me play the CD for them. Every person LOVED the rich yet pure (and strong...) vocals of Wu Qiong which are a rare find sometimes, and every person LOVED the fusion of rock into the Mandarin lyrics. I think Wu Qiong has some videos at YouTube for anyone wishing to see some samples of her talent...but, I also seem to recall the videos posted there are a bit old and thus, probably from her previous release awhile back. However, while I was deciding whether or not to invest in this item (I had never heard of the artist...), I listened to the videos and was immediately hooked on her vocals. This CD does depart from her posted videos in style somewhat, because this CD is what I classify as "Western-style pop power-rock". It's not screeching at all or even hard-core, it's completely pleasant (again, I can't help the mental comparison to Kelly Clarkson...), just unexpected to what else has come out of China recently in the mainstream popular market. I am totally pleased with this purchase and I play it often. There is something completely stunning about this entire disk. Between the vocal sound, vocal ability and music compositions...this is a disk that is worth it's weight (and time to track down...). In fact, I wish I could give 12 stars instead only 10! Honestly. I hope that helps any other person considering this item. As can be deduced from these current 2 reviews...it's a fantastic purchase!

Great R&B Rock Ballads Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
This album is a great set of 10 mild R & B rock ballads, certainly in a more similar Canto/Western sound to numerous other similar album releases, and by having an overall good quality rock/ballad song set that is moderate, easily accessible and so repayable and gratifyingly melodic - you should be spinning this CD for quite a while if you get this. "Who is She to You" certainly is derivative R&B in construct and sound (with blends of other Canto rock fusions), but its a good quality derivative, and coming from the EEG camp here (Twins, Joey Yung etc.), it can be expected to be a little special in the production value sense. Overall, the songs are a mixture of slow intros and mid tempo ballads, with some soulful and gently emotional singing. Wu Qiong sings quite strongly here, too, albeit that she has a more milder and lighter vocal style. But this isn't any sort of angry metal rock here or the sort of rock style that would require a more vibrant and powerful voice, and so Wu Quing's voice fits nicely into this set of 10 songs here.

The 10 tracks are all mostly in the mid tempo range, that occasionally let rip here and there to a faster pace. Lots of electric guitar work, but this is also contrasted with acoustic guitar and piano intros. The slow yearning vocals and opening bars of track 1 soon burst into a great electric guitar and hard edged rock rhythm and refrain, that sets the album off nicely, making this the usual album 'rock' opener you would expect. Great song and nice single material. Track 2 is an acoustic folk rock ballad in a fashion, but again features a lovely impassioned refrain and at times a little bit soulfully Twins (what on earth is happening to those two from Twins, though!). Track 3 surprised me by the opening electric guitar bars that sound to me almost like David Gilmore's electric guitar style from rock group Pink Floyd, and with an interesting ballad that also reminded me a little of David Bowie's song "Memory of a Free Festival". Track 4 as a sweet piano and string intro which refrains into a great little pop gem - which you'll love this if you like regular sweet Canto pop. Track 5 is a great mid tempo rock ballad with a such a passionate vocal refrain from WQ, that its become a high favorite of mine here. Great! Track 6 is another mix of slow ballad vocalizing, swinging back and forth with a mid tempo rock refrain with some quite emotional impassioning from Wu Qiuong. Track 7 is another goodie and firm favorite here, starting off with a moody bass line followed by a very catchy Chinese song rhythm and melodic mid tempo vocal chorus.Track 8 is the only song here that moves away from the R&B style by it being a totally upbeat dance number with slight rap type singing and electronic funk pop, and quite a decent dance song too. Also features a nicely infectious English refrain beat. Tracks 9 and 10 are two fantastic ballads in a more romantic and anthem sense (especially track 10) where you could hold hands with someone and sing the refrains as the sun goes down. Great refrains, too, with heart lifting backing vocals on 9. I just love track 10, starting with a gentle piano intro into a lovely soulful and passioned middle section finishing off with a brilliant anthemic backing chorus behind WQ's singing and crescendoing this album off to a wonderful completion! This album ends brilliantly!

Essentially this album scores with some good anthemic and power ballad tracks, that can stay in your head for quite a while after listening to them and Wu Qiong, although not a harsh rock sounding vocalist, is just right here with her moderate power and lighter singing touch. Nicely compiled song set too. Personal favorites for me are tracks 1, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 - but all of the tracks are as good as each other, and its down to personal taste to which can be the preferred song favorites.

Not sure who Wu Qiong is I have to admit. I only got to hear about her through this release at Yesasia, but spotted another earlier album of WQ's on her name link - with her looking nothing like the sweet rock chick here. I did try to find out a bit more on the EEG web sites, but due to there not being any English info I couldn't find anything about her. Anyone know anything about Wu Qiong? Wu Quing certainly seems like somebody to look out more for in future, by this CD. Highly recommended album this for anyone who loves Canto pop fused into delicate and soft rock R&B sensibilities. I will certainly love to see if an HK version is released with a DVD music video to this, too. Worth getting this!
