Leehom's new music style~

[Dove]

hi guys!
i guess most of you might have heard Leehom's Y.E.S 933fm's interview last night? and there was this portion where he said that he is not going to produce a 3rd chinked-out album? i'm kinda disappointed by that statement, but at the same time, i'm kinda excited too!! hehe..
anyone wanna make a guess, or have any clue on what his new music style might be?? this is just for fun! i support Leehom!!

oh no, i miss the 933 interview. Anyone recorded it? anyway, i also heard lee hom mentioned abt the change of music style at UFM1003's interview. Based on what he said, we can expect to hear his new album end this year or early next year!

oh i read about it somewhere. i think he said he didnt want to 'shove it down peoples throats' ..

but yea..i really like his chinked out style!! the songs are so great! and apparently hes gonna incorporate 'broadway' style into his new album. wahh..i love chinked out!

but..i guess leehom can make anything sound good. i am looking forward to it, its gonna be fresh and new, and totally cool! ~i just hope it will still be hiphop.

I personally respect his decision, I think it takes more talent to produce something fresh and new than it does to stick to one style, and that's what I love about LEehom, he always manages to give his fans something new so we don't get tired of the same ol' stuff. That's why I love Leehom, he's so experimental. That's what being a musican about: experimentation and growth.

Here's something that someone translated of Leehome explaining why he's changing styles.


"It's extremely important that people realize the importance of Chinese music, and just because I'm not continuing the "Chinked-out" vibe, does not mean that the Chinese culture should be less respected or forgotten. I have two "Chinked-Out" albums and those albums will always be there, along with the growth of Chinese music and it's own identity. However, what I do not want to do is overdrive my point or overdo it. Appreciating Chinese music is important, but I don't want to force it down everyone's throat and for the rest of my musical by sticking to this one style. I can't categorize my music under any one arbitrary category, my music changes with my life and my mood. Sticking to one style not only prevents myself from truly expressing my soul and emotions, but also cheats my fans of experiencing the wide plethora of musical styles in the world. I stress once again the importance of loving your own culture. There is nothing wrong with musicians that stick to one style, I respect that. It is all a matter of personal taste and for me, I find that my musical muse lives an eccentric life. Now that Chinked-out has become more popular, I'm sure many other artists will continue with this genre. But for me, I don't stick to one style just because it's popular, I do a style because I think it's interesting and will inspire the musical being in each and every one of us. Like a person, music becomes boring to me if it remains forever stagnant in one style, I think it's natural that music changes with the musician. I always like to challenge myself and my music, because my music is a reflection of me. I hope the ears of my fans are up for the challenge as well and accept the changes I have gone through as a person."
