Product Description

Special edition includes a bonus five track disc. At age 20, with a soul of the 70s, Joanna's voice is one of a kind. Coming from LA, this high school girl has rocked the Live House in Taipei, she also became the highly noticed and talked about girl among the media and music professionals in Taiwan. Before Joanna launches her debut album, we will like to recommend you to listen to her live, with a guitar and a voice that will melt your heart. Discovered by one of Taiwan's top producers, Bing Wang, there was initially not intention for Joanna Wang to become and artist. But when he discovered Joanna's composing and performing talent when she was 14, he recorded her first demo at the studio and started arranging performances for Joanna every summer/winter vacation in Taiwan. Her recent debut album "Start from Here" released in Taiwan recently and has made headlines there, which critics says news of her new success will spread like wild fire across the Asian region. Sony BMG. 2008.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not your typical China-doll cutie pie, November 30, 2008

By	J. Ang (Singapore) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Her album profile pic shows an uncanny resemblance to Canto-pop queen Sammi Cheng, but her sound is closer to Norah Jones... Wong's cool alto voice is quite a refreshing change from the usual airy-fairy vocals of her cutie pie contemporaries or the scream-on-every-note R&B mandopop divas...

No earth-shattering material here, but that's not what this album aims at anyway... just quietly moving tunes on an assured debut collection of songs in two parts, English and Mandarin, and she sounds equally proficient singing in both languages.

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent work - remarkable recording, July 22, 2009

This review is from: Start from Here (Audio CD)

It took me a long while to receive this disc, finally!
The original album itself, I will give 5 starts already. Great voice, great songs, great music, great producers and great remade.
Ok, now, let's go to discuss about this SUPER AUDIO CD. It is indeed SUPER, super sounds and as clear and crispy as the sound it can get. Worth your money to get this copy. Even if u have the original album, this one will re-open your eyes about Miss Wang.
