who could this singer be?

[rose~]

Mmm, I was wondering if anyone could help me out on this please?

I heard a great album while I was out shopping, it was basically rap in Mandarin, though it had a lot of English rap on some of the songs as well...

Could anybody suggest who it might be? It wasn't Wang Lee Hom or David Tao...

But I think the guy could have been an ABC as he rapped in English well.

I tried to remember the words but I forgot!!! Maybe something about 我一个人 wo3 yi2 ge4 ren2 ?

What elsa can I say? The music was well-produced, none of this ballad stuff, and one of the songs had traditional instruments in. It was basically a popular/rap style, not hardcore rap but not incredibly commercial or ballady either.

If anyone could suggest some names I can try listening online.

Thanks!

Rose,

It is sung by Wang Lee Hom, the song title is called Rang Kai (Get out of the way). Althought he himself, likes this song, it was rather different because the background music doesn't match.

Hi! Thanks for your help...but I just listened to 让开 rang4 kai1 again...no it definitely wasn't Wang Lee Hom...probably the overall style could be described as more popular than Wang Lee Hom's. And, tradtional instruments were just on maybe one track...

Thank you though.

if, the instrumental music is mostly drums, then the music is called G'er men (brotherhood), by Wang lee hom.

Sorry, I meant there were traditional instruments on one of the songs out of the album.

I have the album 盖世英雄 gai4shi4 ying1 xiong2 Heroes of the Earth, and I quite like Wang Lee Hom's music, but it's definitely not him. I would recognize his voice.

Perhaps the guy wasn't Chinese American after all? I will change the name of the thread...

he might be Wilber Pan. he's a ABC.

one of his song is called 'pi hu man bu'

FYI

潘玮柏- just when i needed you most

you packed in the morning, i stared out the window.

and i struggled for something to say.

you left in the rain without closing the dooe.

i did't stand in your way.

在清晨醒过来想念一个女孩

她长头发的样子

她上个月今天飘洋过海

时间过的真快

醒来第一件事就是在那想著你

完全忽略我们之间遥远的距离

看不到那么熟悉的环境却又让我们两人可以静一静

没有你在没那么快乐

脑里的回忆永远那么深刻

白天黑夜颠覆我们的年轻

在不见面就快没空气

在这里我只想跟你说一去

那天起你离去

我的心已经跟著去

见不到你想起你的可爱

这种感觉说不出个明白

想为你唱个lullaby

永远都不在say godbye

i just want you here with me

for me until the end of the time.

在清晨醒过来想念一个女孩

她长头发的样子

她上个月今天飘洋过海

时间过的真快

遥远的一份爱跟思念在比赛

无聊的下午剩下我回忆

多精采

just when i needed you most

简单的爱彷佛已经不存在

无法在你身边让你依赖

爱的信息没法投递得那么快

baby please be here to tell me why.

come and tell me where you gonna be

别让我一个人在这那么的那么的想你

回到过去故事继续

时空的距离 is gonna drive ma carzy

如今的生活已经不像从前

这样的思念到底会到那年

梦中画面空空我看到电视上的情节

终于发生在我身边

你的想念阻挡我的视线

让我体验人生喜怒哀乐真实一面

i really miss ya really need ya.

really wanna hold ya.

but you just ain't here with me

[rose~]

Thanks! It's wierd, I think it should be [pop=Pan/pān]潘[/pop]瑋[pop=cypress/bǎi]柏[/pop], but I still don't hear any song by him that's using traditional instruments. I will keep listening though. Anyway now I know his more recent songs are very good.
