他忙!He is busy!

当初听了他的主打《牛仔很忙》的时候,很担心这一张新的专辑《我很忙》会比上一张差多了。可能是需要时间接受他新的尝试,而且我挺开心他勇于新尝试。反而,听了他的专辑后,没有失望,却很开心,要比上一张的专辑好多了!至少,我没有抗拒,没有厌腻。所有歌曲(surprisingly)我都喜欢。让我们来看看他的曲目:《牛仔很忙》混合了美洲country牛仔的编曲和周董较为不同的演绎(比较孩子气),刚听的时候会很难接受,不过听久了还挺有趣的。《彩虹》,《蒲公英的约定》和《最长的电影》就是那一种周董式的情歌,那一种吉他和钢琴配乐他清清高歌的情歌,我呢就觉得马马虎虎,不过我相信会有很多人喜欢。《青花瓷》就是那一种中国风啦,也是我非常非常喜欢的歌,很有feel!《阳光宅男》就很青春,很rock&roll,也是我喜欢的一首歌之一。《无双》我想会让很多人想起他的《双节棍》之类的歌曲,没有什么惊讶的。《我不配》和《甜甜的》也是周董的R&B式情歌,也是没有什么可以说是突破的。《扯》反而让我喜欢,不能说是他的突破,好像感觉上是他以前没有什么印象的歌曲吧?或许是我的错觉,反正,我喜欢。结论,不错的专辑,我本人是喜欢,比他那上一张好!

So he is busy (the name of his album, literally translated from Chinese, "I am very busy" -- official English name is "On the Run" ). When I first listened to his first song "Cowboy is busy", I was a bit worried that this album is going to suck very bad. But, I guess we all need time to digest any new attempts. After a while, this song is not bad at all. His way of singing is definitely new, very child-like and brisk. In fact I think this album is somehow better than the last one (is it just my illusion). Let's have a look at the songs in this album. "Cowboy is busy" as the name implies the music mixes country music and R&B. I think like it or not can be quite personal. "Rainbow", "Dandelion promise" and "The longest movie" are certainly his trademark of love songs - he sings softly and deeply with the background music of guitar or piano. "Blue and white porcelain" is certainly my favourite out of this album - Chinese traditional instrument music! "Sunlight dwelling male" (translated using a dictionary...) is very rock & roll, and very youthful. I guess the song is about those guys who have tons of gadgets and never leave their home or their nest. I guess he is singing about me. "Unique" probably would remind of a lot of people of his old songs like "Double sticks", so there is no surprise there. "Pull" is actually also my favourite. I guess I feel quite fresh of this song. Maybe he never tried this type of song before, or maybe I am wrong. Anyway, I like the whole album. Personally, I really think it is better than his last one.

I am not sure about this new cd yet. As you know I am a huge fan of him but this cd is different. I think I disagree about the former cd. That one's very good. But I will give this new one a chance.
