Cantopop: Fiona Sit - Let Go & Miss Fiona

I was going to write about cantonese' Fiona Sit's new "Miss Fiona", an interesting enough video (what with the flourescent cleaning clothes and all), but then I realized I hadn't talked about "Let Go", and of course I had to tell you to listen to it, it being one of her best songs. Do it now!

• Fiona Sit - Let Go
• Fiona Sit - Miss Fiona

Cantopop: SiS Lok's (SiS樂印姊妹)

I'm finally blogging about SiS, as they really showcase some of the unique sound qualities relative mandarin. Listen to "520" and then don't tell me you really don't agree that they utilizes the chinese dialect to the fullest degree. SiS Lok's is doubly interesting as the two sisters have made their way into greater fame through alternative media with the younger Lok Yan reaching over 3 million via her YouTube channel where they spread their videos.

• SiS - 520
• SiS - Don't just dream (不要只是有夢)
• SiS - If I were a boy (如果我是個男孩)
• SiS - 愛phone了 (Play on words in regards to iphone...)
• SiS - Modern Taiwan Song (最新派台歌)
• SiS - Goodnight Song (晚安歌)

Cantopop: Alex To (杜德偉)

When Alex To from Hong Kong does rockabilly, and in this charming way, I cannot avoid writing about the 52-year old actor/singer. So, "1, 2, 3, I will be shaking all the way!".

• Alex To - Shake (震)
• Alex To - Love life (鍾愛一生)
• Alex To - Marry me (嫁給我)

Cantopop: Keeva Mak (麥家瑜)

Keeva Mak's new "Terminally Ill" is a visually beautiful video designed well to match the dramatic (cantonese) song. This time she has that extra musical edge that has been missing before, which greatly improves her impression on me at least. But what's up with the silvery toilet? ;-)

• Keeva Mak - Terminally Ill (病入膏肓)

Mandopop: Fabel & Candy Lo - Narcissitic and free(自戀自在)

I don't know much about this cooperation between Candy Lo and Fabel but I like the combination of the voices of Candy and LoLo, and the synth.

• Fabel & Candy Lo - Narcissitic and free(自戀自在)

Mandopop: JW/Joey Wong (歌手)

JW (Joey Wong) is a female singer from Hong Kong/London. She has several dance songs that are more western in their sound than many Mandopop. "I need a friend" is the new single and an obvious try to go international(?) but "Feel the bass" from last year is my number one.

• JW - Feel the bass
• JW - I need a friend
• JW - Juicy Girl
• JW - Do me more

Movie: Blind detective (Man Tam/盲探)

Blindness has left ex-police Johnston (Andy Lau) to survive by solving cold cases when he meets with Ho (Sammi Cheng), a female police with good fighting skills who wants him to find out what happened to her childhood friend Minnie. The two of them team up and we follow them in this nice thriller with some romantic comedy frills too. The spoken language is mostly Cantonese. All in all "Blind Detective" is a good detective movie.
