[article] Review of “I just wanna have fun” on Singaporean magazine “i-weekly issue804”

English translation: Christina Low frm ECI
Its a cup of Espresso. Exciting, seducing, crazy, definitely wont leave you bored and sleepy.
Listening to the album is like walking into a fullhouse club on the weekends, not a moment of silence, strong music beats in your eardrums, storming your brains. The purpose of each song is clear and simple, just one, that is for you to live now and have fun. No need to use your brain cells or emotions to understand in depth, just shake your head and dance your body, imagine yourself in a party partying without worries.
Perhaps its because of the easily understandable english and chinese lyrics, the one that leaves the most impression out of the 12 songs is ‘Feel The Beat’. Especially the part ‘Oh Eh Oh’ is most easy to remember, everytime hearing it will make you sing along, even after the song has ended.
