Perfect Timing! Guess who's here? Presenting the One and Only, Voice of the Century- Kewei all the way frm Singapore... DiversiFy has certainly incorporated some cool Diversified/ Singaporean elements in it now!=) together with Yuri, Rio(Yuri's intern) & Kewei, i finally completed recording the long awaited song.....if you're not feeling it, well I am! and after 3 months of tracking, planning, and producing...However, the work doesnt stop now as right this moment, I gotta plan how's this song gonna be performed/ executed and sound live!
Kewei landed some backing vocals on this track and i did my part too cleaning up some of the parts too. Thanks Kewei, you know i miss performing with ya and we definitely need to come out with something soon enough alright, just let me know and i will be there!=) ..She's here this week to perform for the AMEI concert tmr and as a dear music friend of mine, i wish her All the Best in her album which she's currently working on as well. So be on the look out for it alright..=)
Below are some pics of our final session today. I'm gonna start working with Yuri on a new track for my second album already..been spinning in my head the past 2 weeks! *winks* Kewei & Dennis Lau www.taykewei.blogspot.com Dennis Lau The Instrument~ The Team- Dennis Lau, Yuri Wong, Kewei
I had the honor sometime last month to perform together with Kewei and some of the best musicians @ the Esplanade, Singapore. Probably one of the venue which i have ever dream of performing at. And indeed it was a memorable one, Though just a lunchbox concert.=) It was actually Kewei's lunchbox concert and the last of the series of lunchbox concert in Esplanade. We perform an array of chinese pop music. A genre i grew up listening..i mean im sure alot of you too listen to chinese pop stuffs but something i dont normally perform. It was a basically a concert depicting Kewei's journey as a singer herself frm the day she was involved in the music scene, to touring in concerts, and now..doing her own stuffs so it was pretty cool together with the acoustic setting of a grand piano, a Steinway mind ya with Yin Yi, guitar by Daniel Chai, me on Violin & of cos Kewei on vocals=)
The hall was dead silence with a capacity of about 500 to 600 ppl. Basically lunchbox is free admission so whoever citizen could just come in. But nevertheless, Kewei's fans is an abundant along with the support and family and friends=) To sum it all up, it was indeed a concert/ performance to remember for me..thanks to Kewei! Here below are some pics so you could see whats it like! The lightings were amazing.....=) Just the 4 of us=) My solo in Ru Guo=) Kewei & her Erhu da Maestros My Toys=) Filling it up.. Woohoo!
