The album is pretty good, MUCH better than Ang 5.0. It sorta reminds me of Aurora.

[paper_doll]

^ I agree.

I think it still needs some time to grow on me (it only leaked today, after all ), but I like it quite a bit. I Started a Joke is nice, but there's not really a track I don't like.

Fan Wei Qi is really talented and has amazing songs imo. I love her every album, but you can start with the last one F ONE.

By A-Mei I recommend her 90s stuff. Her ballads back then were epic. I cant get enough of them!

Rainie's is for cute pop lovers, one of my fav singers, I love her every album. That last one u heard is the most matured one where she doesnt use her cute voice that much.

JJ Lin is very talented singer too. Start with his Sixology. Its amazing.

If you like rnb/soul you can try Khalil Fong. He's so great.

If you like pop/rnb try Xiao Yu and his album Just Standing [his last album]. I believe you will like it. Everyone must like it. Its so great and diverse. It has upbeat tracks and ballads and his voice is great.

If you wanna hear something original and EPIC try STANLEY HUANG!

Omg Higher is my least fav even is amazing too. My favs are 媽媽你累嗎 (mama are you tired), 我有想著你 (ive been missing you) and 從前流淚光 (the past has left me out of tears)

yesterday, i finally listened this album again and again and again ...
It is really great album !! I think it is her best album!! a lot of great songs (especialy ballads)
I also love sherman´s debut album Good Girl, but her second (Castle) and third (Thunder Party) are nothing special for me.

[PoetGirl]

i think its her best album also!
but i havent heard good girl, do u know maybe where can i download it?
it seems so difficult to find anything sherman

[maddy1111]

for example , you can download Good Girl album here:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=DZXQK38X
pass: www.popularasians.com

tell me, if you like this album or not .)

[PoetGirl]

thank you for the link!!!

[maddy1111]

no problem, i LOVE C-POP

i recommend track 8. 舒曼的狂想曲 (Sherma's Rhapsody), it is one of my favourite from this album

[PoetGirl]

me too ^_^
i added u on last.fm too, hope thats alright

[maddy1111]

yep
of course that´s OK, i wanna see our musical compatibility :

[PoetGirl]

which is super lol.

on a first listen i hear good girl? is really weak album if you compare it to a letter to myself. It has fun tracks, but they are rather average and she doesnt sound so matured. Beats are cool.

[maddy1111]

yeah, i agree with you it is totally different album.
Good Girl is more pop and RnB, if you are listening this album you just wanna have fun. lyrics sound funny, beats are so cool and everything ...
A Letter To Myself is more matured, that is true, but it is 2009 album, two years since her debut, so i am not surprised it sounds different.
In 2007 (when i first listened this album), Sherman was just "next debut singer", and she brought sexy female RnB style into new era of canto pop, so that is the reason why i like this album.

but maybe you will fall in love with GG later it was just your first listen

So my fav. albums by Sherman:
no. 1. A Letter To Myslef
no. 2. Good Girl
no. 3. Castle
no. 4. Thunder Party
