I've been on an 90s Cpop roll lately and listening to Amei all day long <3 I can never get tired of her, her ballads are just classics! I wish that she would sing more ballads in that style, but somehow her current ballads doesn't really have that "feel" anymore
I agree with everything you said lol. I can't get into Will, his voice is lackluster despite the fact he has a few decent dance songs.

I think a lot of that nostalgia also has to do with Amei's vocals. I would say her ballads started to fall by 2002 with Fever. That album had ok ballads, but it was nothing like Truth. Brave was somewhat lackluster although I found the title track on Maybe Tomorrow quite nice.

I pre-ordered Angela's new album. I'm hoping this one is better than Ang 5.0. It felt like she has gone downhill in quality with every release. Her first 3 (especially her first 2) are definitely the best of her disco.
