I have been listening to Lin Yu Zhong's songs these two days and I realize I quite like his style (although most of his songs have very similar styles, which is the 'very safe' type). Music aside, I think he has some talented lyric-writers working for him - as the songs he sings usually have very comprehensible meanings presented in metaphorical ways.
The song embedded below is one of his songs I found on Baidu - called 改嫁 (Remarrying). I DO NOT like this re-marry concept, but I like the way the music of this song is structured. (And I don't think it's really remarrying - it's like marrying someone else with another person in the mind. Hence I think the ending line is apt - cutting all ties before a new relationship (but to enter marriage with this mindset is rather a sad case).
I couldn't find any MV for the song - so this embedded youtube version is just a black screen. :( Some nice things I like about this song:
1. The way they fused Chinese music (for Chinese wedding), into this very modern sounding song.
2. The general way the music flows.
3. The part almost before the end where they put in 掀起了你的蓋頭來... traditional Chinese folk song intermission. One good way to score points with me when song composing nowadays is to fuse traditional Chinese folk songs with new ones, which they are doing quite a lot actually. Maybe it's just because I like those folk songs :)
4. The chorus at the end - they 'upped the key' but in a different way than usual.
