"Can we say yummy. I have had this CD for awhile and I just whipped out last week to remind myself why I like the album so much. As I am typing I am listening to one of her greatest hits albums. I was introduced to Faye in 1993 by my best friend. I am so hooked to her. Her voice is fantastic. I don't speak a word of chinese yet I know most of her lyrics. This CD is hot. #1 is mindblowing. I have to say that # 7 and #8 are my favorites though. I also love #10 and #2. I can't wait to pick up her latest CD. This album is banging. Take it from this no chinese speaking Jamaican."
FayeWong-A Whole New Genre!

"Faye has no doubt matured over the years! I'm unhappy about how Amazon describes her as the queen of mandarin pop. Faye's music is in reality a lot more alternative. Her music has been so fresh to so many people that critics find it hard to even label her songs as either "rock" or "techno". She seems to just mix everything in together to produce wonderful, yet different music. And of course, there's her voice. No one comes even close to her soft, high voice. Although, this isn't Faye's newest album (Her newest album is so unique I can't even describe it), it's still a good album. Track 1 is sorta a techno yet chinese opera feel-like song (if that's even possible), and track 10 is sorta dance-like, but accentuates her voice, and track 11 just blows your mind away, cuz its so unique. There's something for everyone in this CD. And truthfully only one song is "pop"-like, so if you like pop music, then this isn't the CD for you. Only critics and people who want to listen to something new should get this CD."
Get the country right...

"I've wondered for a while why Faye was so popular, and then I heard this. ^_^ Her voice is beautiful, dynamic, so light and flimsy and yet exploding with passion. Her songs are also very well written. Track one, last blossom is breathtakingly powerful. The arrangment is different, but very cool, very well done. I have to give my props to whoever wrote it, the lyrics are superb. Another one of my fav was one hundred year of solitude, which is one of the best pop songs I've heard in my life. This album is great, the songs are diverse and well written. All my life I seem to be surround by bubble gum pop, that, while okay with the ears, lacks meaning. But Faye's pop definitely carrys much more weight. She sings them with a nonchalant passion that grows on you very very quickly. One of Asia's greatest pop stars. Faye rules!"
