Recently i've been listening to a few new albums. Some of whom we've seen before, and also new faces to the industry. Heart-throb singer Gareth Gates has just released his new album recently, named "Pictures on the other side"
This new album sees a different side of Gates, former runner up of Pop Idol. Rather than the melanchoic music he normally sings, he tries out a new style of music which showcases a rustic, husky voice. Different, but kind of brings out a different side of him. He's no longer the boyish singer that we used to know from the Anyone of us Generation.
But if you were once a fan of his music a number of years back, you would be missing his old style, but of course, embracing this new side of him, as he still makes this different genre of music sound good!
My rating? I'd give it 3 half out of 5 stars.
Another budding star we may want to take into notice would be the one who took the title of American Idol few seasons back - Jordin Sparks, with her debut album named after herself!
Hit songs like Tattoo, This is my Now and the recent duet with Chris Brown, No Air have taken this budding young star, with ordinary looks but with a beautiful voice, to greater heights.
However, there were some songs in the album that fit her vocal range, but not so much of her style of music that many would enjoy. Not gonna name which, you'll have to get the album to find out!
My rating? I'd give it 4half out of 5 stars. Definitely a album worth getting!
Looking out for new albums along the way, hope this keeps going! ;)
Till then~

At last, after a long long while, i'm blogging again!
So much has been happening lately, and it's difficult to put into words
Just that there have been plenty of emotional turmoils...
First off is the long standing hours and crazy shifts at work
Next off, well, is rather personal, so i would rather be mum about it...
We're all going different ways, working life is so much different than in poly. Maybe local kiddos are really to protected in this "canned" and "ready-made" environment. We have almost everything ready for us, everyone's soft on the inside... just like roasted marshmellows...
But whatever the challenges, i'll want to do well in my career, and life as well...
I'm being Ambitious. I am ambitious!
Me
I can be quiet
I can be loud
I can be reserved
I can be wild
I hate deception
I hate lies
I hate betrayal
All in all, No matter what happens,
Life still goes on =)
Life is like a puzzle;
Constructed, connected and arranged piece by piece;
Clench the teeth with perseverance;
All the suffering will end eventually;
Song in playing: Nickelback - Far Away
Look at the stars, and not the reflection of the moon.
