Upcoming Song: 路 "Road" - Update

A world renowned brand of whisky (believed to be Johnnie Walker, sponsor of Eason's Moving On Stage 1) has invited singer-songwriter Wu Xiang Fei 吳向飛 to write the lyrics of its new commercial theme song. Wu Xiang Fei was chosen not by coincidence as he once again proved his talent with the upcoming song having the line: "永遠向前,路一直都在" ("always look forward, the road has always been there"), which is already becoming a classic tag line and having Hong Kong and Mainland advertisers referring to it as "amazing."

It is reported that the title of the theme song is called 路 (Road) and will be performed by Hong Kong singer Eason Chan. On the day of the recording a crew member exclaimed that this will be 2008's most popular commercial theme song. This will mark the second time Wu Xiang Fei and Eason will be working together (the first time being Wu Xiang Fei penning the lyrics to Eason's Hippie.) Not long ago Wu Xiang Fei wrote the lyrics to Aska Yang's 誰會改變我, which has immediately become the most different song on Aska's album and has become the most highly praised song by critics. A Taiwanese media outlet has already labeled Wu Xiang Fei as having enormous potential with a bright future.

It is reported that a 60 second clip of this song is available for preview online while the full version can be heard in Eason's upcoming Mandarin album.
