5.0 out of 5 stars English album of international standard, June 3, 2001

This review is from: Touch of Love (Audio CD)

After singing for 15 years in both cantonese and mandarin, Chinese pop superstar has now given us his first English album. It doesn't disappoint because it reaches a very high international standard. Not only does Jacky sounds surprisingly idiomatic when singing in English, the album contains a great variety of musical styles which make it extremely interesting and satisfying. Jacky's performances here are of a uniformly high standard, too. This album is very enjoyable indeed!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the world's greatest singers, April 25, 2001

Finally, Jacky Cheung's lyrical voice can be heard in English. This amazing artist has been singing in both Mandarin and Cantonese for many years. "Touch of Love" is his first English language album. The lyrics of the songs are often amusing, and sometimes, I fear, unintentionally so, but they consistantly have catchy melodies which Jacky manipulates beautifully. The only rough spot on the album is the duet with Reba McIntyre. Ms McIntyre's style and timbre are very different from Jacky's mellifluous tones, and the match is not an easy one, althought it does sound like they had fun with it.

Lines such as, "and then she hit me" or "it's hard to get a date when you're homely" add to the entertainment value of this cd. It will serve as a nice start to the exploration of his work.

Jacky Cheung won a singing contest in Hong Kong when he was 19. His career has not, however, been limited to recordings and concerts. He has appeared in numerous films that have ranged from the comic "High Risk" with Jet Li where he plays a character loosely based on Jackie Chan, to the tragic drama "A Bullet in the Head" directed by John Woo.

Please take some time to familiarize yourself with the work of this remarkable man.
