Album comparison review at 2 months of release. 杨丞琳《双丞戏》, 梁文音《漫情歌》

After listening to 杨丞琳《双丞戏》, and 梁文音《漫情歌》, I felt that a singer with a higher prestige still wins. Of course having a record company that could produce more MV with a great storyline helps boost song retention and playback, but I pity a little pitiful for 梁文音.
Although she used 同名专辑 technique to get more publicity for her 主打歌《漫情歌》, it didn't work well with me. In contrast, the overarching story of having two personalities worked allowed 3 songs 《点水》、《失忆的金鱼》、《其实我们值得幸福》to blossom, even though none was referenced earlier. In contrast, 梁文音 had only 3 songs that pleased me, barely passing my mark for an album worth listening to, and a disappointment from her previous 《黄色夹克》, which was refreshing, new, thematic, rather than going back to a typical Mando-pop genre.
To make it worse, 《分手后不要做朋友》was released as early as the start of this year, a full 3/4 of a year before this album was released! Though it got the fans excited, the two previewed songs that followed, 《每一次恋爱》,《爱其实很残忍》were about all the best the album can offer.
After finishing with her trilogy album, I am pleased 杨丞琳 came up with a "bonus" album that somewhat follows through the positiveness of the last album《天使之翼》. Although 2 songs were previewed - 《我想爱》,《下个转弯是你吗》, the trilogy of songs mentioned earlier helped to further show the essence of the album and stands it out from the market, especially with 蔡依林 albums,and 林俊杰,周杰伦 albums which are just released among others.
Of course, there are a few more songs in 杨丞琳 album which I like,《喜剧收场》is a good place to start, though there is no need to stop through the whole album. As it is an early start, but I hope more effort (which may not be possible due to money) could be spent on 梁文音, so that rather catchy songs 《漫情歌》、《寂寞之光》、《住在心里的过客》、《我们会再见》 、《鲁凯的姑娘》are not wasted. As evidenced from this statement, a great boost can propel it back to the times of 《爱的诗篇》, her first.

Simply by helping to translate 'wet tissue' to “湿纸巾”, to mandarin for a conversation between a customer and a shop keeper, I got a thanks and a kind deed can be done so easily.

这首歌点给周五让我开心的那一个人。
对不起我现在无法接受你的礼物,因为那是一种承诺。请给我一些时间。

All I wish is for another's voice to be in unison with mine.

偶然的巧遇 无意间的缘分
两个不容碰撞星球
突然轨道交错
旧的不去 新的不来
原来缘分就是擦肩而过
Both first batch to own the newly-released Xiaomi phones at different times. And only a special few of mine would drop everything and meet up impromptu. You said all the things I always wanted my ideal friend to say. Most of all, my bad habits didn't show - I didn't care about wins for once.
Let today be the start to the best!
Just one sorry that I put it up this evening!
Thanks for being there for me, 雨过天晴了!KianleongShiu Heng,JaredElizabeth.
