Music Review: Kelly Chen's CD "Stylish Index"

Hello people!

I am sorry I haven't been able to update my blog for a few days, I've been out sick and dealing with a lot of stuff. Eh...Life happens...What can you do? Here comes the second music review based on Kelly Chen's album "Stylish Index"

Kelly Chen's CD has 15 audio tracks:

11 are in Cantonese, 4 are in Mandarin and 1 English track

Instead of listing all of the tracks I am just going to talk about the ones I enjoyed the most:

In no particular order:

1."Phone, order to kill"
2."Unlimited"
3."I am fine"
4."Sorry, it's not you"
6. "A Clean love of self"
7. "Kelly Bag"
8. "Shoes! Shoes!"
9. "Miles in the air"
10. "Penthouse"
11. "Stamp"
13. "Beautiful Fiance"
15. "Love Paradise"

The first track (1."Phone, order to kill") was cool! It talks about how a person's getting over their past by deleting their old flames phone numbers and starting over...creepy but nobody could make that sound beautiful like Chen can...Simply brilliant

The second track (2."Unlimited") is about a couple and their differing goals in life...One wants stability, the other well...It talks about what people want out of love in a way...It talks about how there are differing extremes one talks about how one wants marriage and one doesn't and just wants romance just for the fun of it...Hence there is a comparison between what is true and what is false.

Track three (3."I am fine") Is about a person's desire to be noticed by the one they love. And the wonder of what happens if the person takes a different path...a bunch of "what ifs..." and having no regrets from breaking up and looking to the future. A little sappy...but it did ring a bell for me...and that's cool...It was cool in the sense that after listening to this song I felt it was funny...It was not like other songs and it actually sounds more like there's hope...no matter where you go.

Track four (4."Sorry, it's not you") This song talks about how a person tries to tolerate and figure out whether or not they really really love the person they were with (an ex-lover)or if their love just isn't strong enough. From the perspective of a person who is being cheated on in a relationship... Hm...Not much of an opinion for this song...I just like the way it sounds.

Track six (6. "A Clean love of self") Talks about how a person makes the biggest decision in their lives: Marriage. I like it because it just sounds nice...and it is one of those things where it's from a woman's perspective (I take that with a grain of salt, it's a song okay?)...it sounds cool anyway, I am just glad this song isn't anything like Alex Fong's songs. It has confidence written all over it and okay... some doubt...but hey nothing sad or disturbing. And yes, I think it's a sweet song. (There I admitted it okay? ^__~)

Track seven (7."Kelly Bag") is an opposite to the last track...it questions whether love is real and whether or not the guy in the song loves the girl because he does for real... or if he only loves her because of her appearance...

Track eight (8. "Shoes! Shoes!") All I have to say is: "YEAH!" This sounds like a track I would play if I got bored at a race track! Ha ha ha! I am not even going to bother explaining what this one is about. (Hey I should really take up riding motorcycles...if I did that this is the first thing I want playing in my helmet!)

Track nine (9. "Miles in the air") is about memory, love, loss and disappointment and just talking about memories of the past...hm...again not much opinion for this one.

Track ten (10. "Penthouse") worth listening to...(NOT recommended if are depressed!) another sad song about letting go... But it sounds cool.

Track eleven (11. "Stamp") a song that is very romantic...that's all I have to say...sounds nice and not necessarily sad. *yay*

Track thirteen (13. "Beautiful Fiance") a re-composed version of the Cantonese song (This one's in Mandarin)

Track Fifteen (15. "Love Paradise" ) This is an English track and it's a love ballad and it's the first time I've even heard Kelly Chen sing in English...what can I say? I can be sentimental too.

Well..that's it for now...Goodnight! ^__^

TKO.
