No Music No Life 04/2007

itunes: Imogen Heap, Speak For Yourself (2005)

The list of CDs that I have bought in April 2007:


Jennifer Lopez, Como Ama una Mujer (2007)
JLo is back with her first full Spanish album and a lot tone down from her Bennifier days and her previous English releases. A ballad-heavy album.


All Saints, Studio 1 (2006)
Never a big fan of All Saints, but they do have a couple of good songs in the past. I'm quite impressed with a few songs in this comeback album yet not willing to pay full price for it. So I got it from Yahoo Auctions at half the original price. No surprises in this album, if you like All Saints, you will love this. Try Rock Steady and Chick Fit.


Babel Gilberto, Momento (2007)
Fresh from the oven, released a couple of weeks ago. 3rd album from my favourite Bossa Nova latin artist. This album is less groovy electronica than her 2 previous ones and stay more strictly to her Bossa Nova acoustic roots. A smooth, light hearted listening CD, best to play when reading a book. Really hope to see her live at the Esplanade again.

More CDs for J-Pop collection:


徳永英明, Vocalist (2005)


徳永英明, Vocalist 2 (2006)
Remake of old hits by female artists from 70s - 00s by this Japanese rocker in 2005 and 2006 respectively. The orchestral and acoustic arrangement gives new life to these old hits. These 2 albums have been playing in my ipod everday since I bought the CDs.


松田聖子, Bless You (2006)
Forever idol from the big 80s idol era of the Jpop culture. Still remain popular and strong after 25 years in the scene. Beside the cutey pie image, she co-wrote and produced her own albums. Anyone who are into Jpop in the 80s will know who she is.


鈴木祥子, 水の冠 (1989)
Singer songwriter. Love the songs that she wrote for many female artists. Spotted it at the second hand cd shop at Marina Square, $13.95. Cheap for a rare CD like this.


森口博子, Best Of My Life (1995)
A idol from the 90s.


辛島美登里, Ever Green (1999)
One of my favourite singer songerwriter. Still in the process of collecting her 10 year-old discography. This is the limited edition of her best hits album. I always love the Japanese CD packaging.

These last 2 CDs are of with compliments of YL who bought it at the second hand CD shop in Tokyo. Arigatou....
