Who says that I don't listen to Mandopop?
With Jolin's latest offering J-Game, she has managed to combine her bubbly brand of pop with a tinge of sexiness, this time with the leading track, Ye Man You Xi. With it's infectiously cute rap and sassy chorus, it's not a song that you'd be able to get out of your head. Frantic baselines and music that sounds like it was stolen from computer games of the early 90s combine to give the very stylishly produced track a unique sound.
Despite it sounding like a happy-go-lucky song, it's all about the game of life, standing up and facing the challenges put forth by Love, also metaphorically displayed by the song's story about animals in the wild fighting for their right to survival (sounds a bit farfetched but that was from the Jolin interview in the CD). And the dancing for the video rivals the best in the industry, and by that I mean the likes of her Western counterparts.
And if you're wondering which CD I bought 2 weeks ago when I had to choose between Edison, Jolin and Daniel Bedingfield, I suppose you've figured it out already! The album is a fab piece of work! Look out for Tian Kong, guaranteed to be sung at every K-Box around the island!
All hail, Madopop's princess - Jolin!
