[ALBUM] alan - Orient of the Heart (Mandarin Debut) | alan - VOICE of the EARTH
Looks whats here! Can't wait to get my own copy. For alan fan's you'll either love or hate it. From the 11 tracks, 4 singles have already been released in China, and 6 tracks are just remakes of her Japanese hits so there are only four new tracks. However the thing that really annoyos me is how they couldn't even get a new picture for the album cover. Is it seriously that hard? On the bright side, I prefer alan in Chinese because 1) I understand it and 2) I think she's better at the language even if her Japanese has improved. I'll post some FLAC/Apple Lossless rips of her previous stuff here in a moment too as I ripped them for clear_sounds (do check out the comm for lossless music).
YesAsia: Tibetan Chinese singer alan has secured a foothold in the J-pop market thanks to her well-received debut Japanese album Voice of EARTH. Her recent single Kuon no Kawa (theme song for John Woo's Red Cliff 2) even reached no. 3 on the Oricon weekly chart, the highest ever achieved by a Chinese singer. The success doesn't mean she will forget the fans in her homeland, though. In July 2009, alan is releasing her first Mandarin studio album. Backed by Avex's production crew, and famous Mando-pop producer Benjamin Lin and lyricist Francis Lee, the album features 11 songs, including the main plug "Love Can See", and both theme songs from the Red Cliff movies. Other selections are mainly Chinese versions of alan's J-pop hits, plus printer tie-in song "Go! You Have Me!" (duet with Wei Chen), and Sichuan Earthquake Relief fundraising song "Love is the Hands", available on CD for the first time.
