“Since you like Vienna Teng, you should check Jane Lui out,” someone sent me a note with an URL attached. It was a YouTube video on her singing Jailcard . “Interesting,” I thought. And I went to her website. The song is part of her new album Goodnight Company. What? I can download for free? OK then…
As long as you promise to Facebook or Twitter her, Jane Lui would let you download the whole album for free. After the download, you would have the opportunity to tips the artist. The suggested tips was $8.
The opening song Goodnight Company just skip into Jailcard. Essentially, these are the same song with two titles. By far, it is the best one in this album. Jane has a good voice but I think she is still looking for herself and more sponsorship. The second song is the famous folk song Edelweiss. I liked how she did it. At this point, I was ready to tips her.
The rest of the album were more practices/experiment than performance. I do appreciate an artist trying different styles and sounds. But she is a newbie and let’s see her doing one thing well first.
Go ahead and download. You may even like her enough to tips.
