I would love to see VH release an ep of English versions of some of their songs and commence world domination!  That’s a common thing in J-pop and even K-pop, but you rarely see a TW band to do it.  Elephant Gym had a Japanese singer do an English-lyrics version of a song on the ‘international collaboration’ version of their new album. (Guitarist Tell Chang sings the Mandarin version on the domestic release).  And there are some indies that have done new Japanese versions of their songs.  (PiA and Cheshire Cat come to mind)

Yes, I know many TW/HK/China/Singapore/Malaysian bands have English songs, but I’m talking about C-indie bands taking great songs and presenting them to a new audience.  Anyway... =)

First glimpse from the new Paige Su 蘇珮卿 album, and it’s gorgeous!  =D

Before I listened just now, I was scanning the credits for familiar names, and I wondered why Paige’s drummer/husband Cody Byassee (白克迪) wasn’t listed?  Surprise – both the drums & bass are electronic on this track, I’m guessing the work of arranger Chuck Su.

鄭宜農 Enno Cheng directed this beautiful MV, which stars: 王可元,  嚴正嵐,  林予晞, and 陳妤.

Enno wrote the song, and it is much quieter than one of her soaring anthems. Very tasteful arrangement, as well.  Let’s have a look at some of the musical credits:

Producer/Vocal Producer: 盧律銘 Lu Luming

Arrangement: *JB, 林孝親 Hsiao-Chin Lin / 林思妤 Szu-Yu Lin

*I do not know if ‘JB’ stands for 曜爆甘音樂工作室 Just Busy Music Studio, but they are listed in the credits for strings: 

First Violin: 朱奕寧 Yi-Ning Ju. Second Violin: 盧思蒨 Lu Szu-Chien

Viola: 甘威鵬 Weapon Gan. Cello: 葉欲新 Shin (Yushin Ye)

French Horn: 廖竑翔 Hung-Hsiang Liao

Enno played a sold out concert the other night at 天母 體育館 Tienmu Stadium in support of her new 給天王星 Dear Uranus album, but this song is on her Pluto album from 2017.  The studio recording featured the late Ellen Loo (【鄭宜農feat. 盧凱彤– Our Pop Song】), but in the clip, the crowd helped out, it is very touching, and the lighting effects are so cool!:

Band Leader / Keys & Piano: 林泰羽 Taiyu Lin (他者 the other) Guitar: 林建文 Kevin Lin（大頭） Guitar / Sax: 黃浩庭 Haoting Huang Programer / Synth: 何俊葦 Chun Ho aka 小青蛙 (PUMPKINney Fan Club 南瓜妮歌迷俱樂部) Bass: 曹瑋 Marcus Tsao Drum: White Wu 吳柏廷 (Manic Sheep, Prairie WWWW / 落差草原 WWWW)
