When I have the opportunity to talk about music, it is mostly about Chinese music. I like listening to Chinese songs since I have been brought up with this language. One Taiwanese girl band I really like is SHE, whose members are Selina, Hebe and Ella (that is their stage name.) and was chosen by HIM international music. Their albums are the combination of rock, hip hop and pop music. This band is really wonderful, and they have earned the fame by their different personalities and devotion on their careers. Their 6th album Encore which consists of a song “I love you” is one of my favorite, this song is so touching and meaningful. In addition to the song meaning, the MV is a film and watching it produces sad emotions due to the fact that is based on a real story of a couple who were apart from each other during the civil war in China. Both the lyrics and MV really go hand in hand and best express the theme of the song. Most of their songs focus on relationships, which basically creates different feelings based upon the songs’ meaning. Moreover, their songs are perfectly expressed; the songs reveal the emotions of sadness and happiness, which make them my idol. However, there are also some other groups like Twins (Hong Kong). Twins ‘music also targets young adult s much like SHE does. Both groups are compared with how they perform by their supporters. Mostly, both group’s songs are the same, but we as the fans can tell the difference in how they sing, I mean how they distribute the feelings throughout the songs. One of the members of the groups , Hebe, debut her first album To Hebe, “love” is one of the best tracks because of the lyric “I love you, you love him, he loves her, she loves her, what is going around the world? Everyone loves others, but we do not know how to love ourselves.” The most memorable song to me is called “love” since it is really the truth that some people only know how to love others and don’t know how special and unique they are. Another reason I like the song is because I think that everyone should know their value or love themselves first before they love others. Hebe, releases her new album My Love. I would say I agree with the critic about her latest album, My Love, the songs are so beautiful and unique, especially her vocal varieties and expression. In my opinion, I would recommend their songs to everyone because their songs are just fabulous, and their music is like a magic that could calm and relax you, and especially they are just so different from others singer in the music industry.
