Upcoming Album: "Listen to Eason Chan"



In coordination with his upcoming Moving On Stage 1 concerts, Eason Chan will release a new Cantonese album in two weeks. The album packaging will be in the shape of a tee (t-shirt) and with its thick rubber, can be doubled up as a mouse pad. Eight colors will be released and only four words will be on the cover: Listen to Eason Chan -- the album title. Eason explains, "This time we are not selling on an image. No lyrics will be enclosed because we hope listeners can feel my singing."

This new album will contain 10 all new songs and a bonus track (the theme to Brothers, duet with Andy Lau) along with remix versions of the 10 new songs, making it 21 tracks on 2 discs. When speaking of one of the tracks 演唱會 (Concert), Eason laughs as he recalls, during the process of naming the song they were considering naming it 的演唱會 ( 's (as in possession) Concert), so when a DJ introduces the song he/she can say, " 以下呢首歌就係陳奕迅 的演唱會" (this next song is Eason Chan's Concert.)

Eason wrote 3 tracks along with producing this album. Eason reiterates that his is a dance themed album, with a feeling of going to a party and when you hear the music you'd want to dance.

FYI:
- According to hmv.com.hk, the released date of this album is Thursday, October 18, 2007
- The reason Eason has been writing songs for this album (and his past 2-3 albums) is because of C.Y. Kong. As producer, C.Y. required Eason to write at least 1 song per album (more on C.Y.'s requirement in an upcoming post)
