張亞東 Zhang Yadong "Ya tung"

[bluepoppy]

After someone said Zhang Yadong 張亞東 was good in another thread, I listened to his album 'Ya tung' and I think it's brilliant. It doesn't include any random English expressions like, 'love you' as discussed elsewhere on this forum, and it's like he's got his own style...his music doesn't sound commercial or poppy...fantastic... ^______^ ... 我終于找到了我喜歡的音樂! (I finally found some good music).

I especially like the songs '霧‘ (wu) and ‘不明飛行' (bu4 ming2 fei1 xing2).

I wish there was more than only one album!

Are there any Zhang Yadong fans out there?

I think I want to be a fan.........is he a mainland artist?

[bluepoppy]

Yes, and he is a famous producer, and I think he is Wang Fei's ex-boyfriend?

I don't think he is very popular as an artist in his own right tho..what a pity...

Zhang Yadong is indeed one of the best producers/composers. I could barely like Faye or Pu Shu if without Zhang Yadong being the composer. But his only album Ya Tung is just okay to me. I have to say, he's full of skills but lack of inspirations.

I know little about his story other than his music. I don't think he's Faye's ex-boyfriend. He was a good friend and partner of Faye's ex-husband, Dou Wei.

yes, faye wong used to co-operate with him quite a lot, he's not her ex-bf, but husband of dou wei's sister??
