Upcoming: 2009 Mandarin EPs & New Cantonese EP

As posted earlier, Eason Chan will release 2 Mandarin EPs, 5 songs each, this year. And as concepted, will incorporate "two different styles from two different shores" with Taiwan's Will Lin 林暐哲 and Beijing's Zhang Ya Dong 張亞東 as producers. Additional and new information on the albums as follows.

North (Zhang Ya Dong as producer):
- experimental album (e.g. Acid Jazz, song types by Lenny Kravitz, UFO, Corduroy, Galliano, Urban Species, etc.)
- Eason wants to write a song

South (Will Lin as producer):
- songs by Tanya Chua, Mavis Fan, Angus Chan & Sodagreen
- Tanya's song is titled 多少 (How Much), lyrics are also by Tanya - according to Eason, this song is awesome! When Tanya finished writing the song, she gave it to Eason and said "This song is for you." After hearing the demo, Eason asked her, "Are you sure you don't want to keep it for yourself?" because the song is THAT good!
- right now, writers are giving Eason songs and Eason is then discussing them with Will Lin, but Will is giving Eason freedom and saying, "as long as you like [the song]"

Eason hopes that the 2 EPs will be released together anywhere between August & September.

Also noted is that Eason is simultaneously working on a new Cantonese EP while working on these Mandarin EPs. It is currently used as a "back-up" in case the Mandarin EPs aren't finished in time. However, Eason prefers to plug all the songs from H3M rather than releasing a new EP, if it comes down to that. However, Eason doesn't mind recording songs in advance.
