Wrapup
Eve Ai is a singer that I like a lot. I thought her first album was really good and her recent second album did not disappoint. There was a thread a few weeks ago where we discussed how Taiwan has the same artists topping the charts for the last decade and that there weren’t any new artists that could be stars, well Eve Ai is probably the one with the most potential to be that star. She has the talent, the music quality, and a diverse discography.
I think she has a great voice and can pull off a variety of genres. If you like ballads and jazzy type songs, check out her first album. Her stronger ballads are on that album. But she really matured and surprised me for her second album. It’s more interesting and has more variety. There’s an intense song like “Sophisticated Game”, a RnB song like “Never Be The Same”, a non-generic dance song like “Why Am I Born If i Can’t Get Your Love?”, and also a smooth and mellow old school sounding song with “Truth”.
I know most people are hyping up Jolin Tsai’s new album right now. I am a huge Jolin fan but I haven’t listened to it enough to form an opinion of it yet. So until that happens, I am choosing Eve Ai’s “Grown Love” album as my favorite Cpop album of 2014. I highly recommend listening to it and checking out the rest of her music too.
