Album Reviews

  1. Christmas Gift

    Christmas Gift
    is an excellent collection of Christmas songs recorded by various Malaysian Artistes such as Francissca, Solianos, Mark David, Double Take, Mia Palencia etc. It is the brain child of Paul Augustin. Traditional Christmas carols in the album are heavily jazzed and arranged in a very contemporary way. This album is very pleasant to listen to and is a follow up to their first Christmas album A gift of love. Some original Malaysian songs such as A Child was born today by Paul Augustin and Eye on the Lord by Mark David were performed in the album. The profits for this production will be given to charity. The album is available at MPH and Tower Records.


  2. Shining Stars - By Wah Lok

    This is Wah Lok's second album following his first release Every Time I Pray. Many Malaysians were surprised to find out about Wah Lok's ability to write songs from his real life experiences. Songs in this album such as "She Move her feet to dance" is about a girl who was miraculously healed, being able to walk after being paralyzed by bacterial infection in her brain. Unheard Voices is reminder for all to remember the needs of the poor. Beside You was written for his friend who was dying of cancer. The song talks about the need to stand with those who are terminally sick. The songs in this album are extremely meaningful as they were written from real life experiences. The album is available in Salvation, Glad Sounds and MPH.


  3. Sands by Lucy L

    Sands (Saved for a New Destiny) is another album also making waves across Malaysia. The album is a collection of songs by Penang's songwriter Lucy L. Lucy gathered youths from 7 churches to record her album. The youth team has been travelling across Penang and other parts of Malaysia, making an impact with their distinctive brand of music. This is a youth album with many interesting arrangements and good songs. Look out for Lucy's interesting songs Sold Out and Not for Sale. The album is available in Salvation and Glad Sounds.


  4. A song in the night - by KB Chan

    A Song in the Night is a collection of songs by Penang's prolific songwriter KB Chan. Although KB Chan has been a dialysis patient for the last 7 years, he has remained faithful to his calling and continued to write songs over these traumatic years of his life. The production of this album itself is a wonderful testimony of his spirit and love of Jesus. What a testimony of triumph in the midst of adversity!

    10 songs in the album were written by KB Chan himself and 2 more songs by his daughter Karen Hughes. The title track "A song in the night" tells us how God can help us through our difficulties. The best and most touching song in the album is "Daddy You're my hero". This is a simple song but it will minister to every father in a very deep way. It certainly carries a strong anointing. "Burning Sweet Incense with My Song" is another song with a powerful message.
