CD Review:Peggy 許哲珮:《奇幻精品店》

Preordered a copy of Magical Shop 《奇幻精品店》 last month and collected the copy of it in Crazyworld Cafe Recently .( Special Thanks Freshmusic for processing the order for me.)


My Top Favourite:奇幻精品店,該死的高跟鞋,賣笑的傻瓜,When You Are in Love,Dear Christmas
*I have featured the 2 songs previously in my past entries,do check them out.

Psst...Dear Christmas is the only English song written and composed by Peggy,a first in her singer-songwriter history.


About the album:
This album marks the 10th Anniversary of Peggy as a singer-songwriter.
The 15 Track album,inclusive of an Intro,an Interlude and an Outro, just giving me feel like reading a storybook where you have a beginning ,a Climax and an ending point.

The Aesthetic:
Peggy has surprised me with the aesthetic cover (Again!)
From her last album Le Cirque 1《马戏团1号》,which has a simple packaging with a lyric book of the size of the palm appearing like some secret note attached to this album...


In this album,a pop-up concept was imposed on the wooden horse,which was not shown in the image of this album. 
In addition, in this album,the lyrics book looks like a traditional Book cover attached on the other side of the album.


The  Song:
Consistent as per norm,but for the a couple of first time in Peggy's 10th Anniversary.
And in addition,more surprises.(What kind of surprises,get the album to check it out.)

  • Experimenting with different Genres and styles(ie.High Heel Jazz,Magical Tango)
  • First Song in English (Dear Christmas)



Overall:
Peggy has been showing her consistency,but on the other hand creating breakthroughs like 1st English Song penned,exploring around genres and like Tango,Jazz,giving a feel of the unique Peggy Experience.
15 tracks may be lengthy for a full album.But it is indeed worthwhile afterall. 
72 minutes of pure pleasant enjoyment of Peggy-style,all in a single album,and celebrating 10 wonderful years of Peggy Music.
This is one album where you will get to feel and "taste" the music.

UPDATE(3/12/2011): NOW AVAILABLE IN ALL MAJOR CD STORES NOW!
