SEA Absolute Indie Compilation
As a compilation album, SEA Absolute Indie is value-for-money for sure. Not only does it offer a most up-to-date overview of the indie band music scene in South East Asia through most of the songs therein, it is also a truly informative resource if you are looking out for the “next big thing” in the region.
Seo Taiji – Atomos
Seo Taiji finally released Atomos, his anticipated comeback. That alone is too much expectation, so it’s no wonder I feel totally let down by the album.
Shan Ren Band – Listen to the Mountain
It’s not every day that I come across a band that can successfully integrate traditional folk with reggae, ska, and elements of bossa nova. But Shan Ren Band does just that with inspiring deftness in their latest offering, Listen to the Mountain.
SHINee – Romeo
The anticipated comeback from the noona-loving boy group falls short, seeing as they try to use an already overly used style… like a bad sequel to their first.
SHINee – Sherlock
After one year and a half since their latest album, SHINee return to the Kpop scene with an album that is explosive and lovely.
SingerSen – Sirens
SingerSen’s sound is infectious, the beats are Guy Sigsworth’s signature, but added to her Mandarin vocals, it gives the production a killer distinctiveness.
SingerSen – The World in my Eyes
And this is exactly where something transforms from a simple love affair to a desire to forever walk in the presence of the one you love. SingerSen’s debut is an album that’s all emotion and endless beauty.
