Concert and Album Updates

As Eason said himself during his recent CRHK 903 and RTHK interviews, here are the updates/newest news to his upcoming concerts and album.

Location
Eason is, since August 23rd, in various parts of China doing his second leg of promotions for Admit It. He will not return to Hong Kong until the beginning of September when he will devote his time to prepare for his upcoming concert and finishing up on his upcoming dance album.

In September he will be in China again for another round of concerts for Admit It.

Concerts
Eason says there will not be a theme to his upcoming Moving on Stage 1 concerts (unlike Get a Life and Third Encounter.) It will be more of a "regular" concert where he will sing and interact with the audience.

Album
After recording is done for his upcoming dance album it will be sent to England for mixing, something which Eason is very happy about because Cineoply is giving it full support.

Here is a tentative list of composers and dance genres for the upcoming songs in the dance album:
- Michael Lai, Wyman Wong - Crying in the Party
- Davy Chan - Depeche Mode type
- Wong Seung Wai - latin
- Carl Wong
- C.Y. Kong - rave
- Cheung Ah Dung writers - house
- DJ Dan (a non-Asian DJ)
- Eric Kwok - originally breakbeat, now it is unknown
- Eason Chan - SHS
- Eason Chan - UFO
- Bonus Track: Andy Lau & Eason Chan - theme to upcoming film Brothers

Michael Lai & Wyman Wong's Crying in the Party will be the only slow song/non-dance genre in the album, though it ties in with the dance theme because the song is set in a party scene.

In Wyman Wong's POV, Crying... is about everyone knowing/experiencing someone that cries at a party, at a random time, when everyone is having fun, but eventually this person will stop crying and the party continues. This song is set to be placed in the middle of the album, as a breather. It also works well it Wyman's POV as the first half will be having fun at a party, Michael Lai's track will be the person crying, and the second half will be the party continues.

The bonus track will probably be the theme to the upcoming Brothers. It is probable because Andy Lau already released his album and since Eason's is the next to be released they'll put it in his album. Eason prefers the song to be put on the internet as a single, but it is not up to him. The song is composed by Eason, written by Andy Lau and performed by both.

Eric Kwok's song was originally breakbeat, but now it is unknown. Eason's voice was rather raspy during his August 16th interview with CRHK 903. When Mini asked him why his voice was raspy he said it was because he was recording Eric's song for the past few days. He used the word "crazy" to describe Eric's song because it was difficult to sing, he says there's no breathing room and it goes from high to low and back. Eason performs a piece of Eric's song during his RTHK interview (found in the previous post.)

A piece of Wong Seung Wai's latin piece can be heard on the Johnny Walker sponsored television special (found in the previous post.)

When asked when the new dance album will be released Eason says it should be October, during his interview with RTHK (found in the previous post.)
