I have known about Sun for a while. She has actually been experimenting in the US on the run up to her debut English album for a while.

She has already had 5 singles charting on the US Hot Dance/Club Play chart (3 of the singles going to number 1). This is the same chart that BoA, Utada, and Koda Kumi have charted on.

She has also released a music video and itunes single with Wyclef Jean as well as having a collaboration with Olivia Newton John.


Now she has announced the name of her debut english album called "Cause A Ruckus" and released the music video and single for the first single called "Fancy Free".

"Fancy Free" Music Video


I wish her the best of luck with her new album. Here is a link to her Wiki Page in case anybody wants to know anything else about her. smile.gif


What does everybody think about this? smile.gif

Not a fan of her US songs, but as a fellow Singaporean, I wish her best of luck too. She's had some really good results n US so far biggrin.gif The music video looks good, but the song is so-so to me.

Yeh, I really love the music video. I really wish BoA did something like this. tongue.gif


I'm in the same boat as you when it comes to the actual song. It's ok. It might grow on me. I really didn't expect "China Wine" to be anything like it was, but I ended up loving that. I still think I prefer her earlier dance orientated singles, but i'm a sucker for dance songs lol tongue.gif

You know, I've noticed that Asian artists that try to break into the American market HAVE good songs. But their videos suck.

This is one of those videos.

That's pretty interesting. I remember seeing some news of her breaking through US a few years back but didn't really receive follow up news after that. She's quite a chart topper in the chinese music industry even though i totally don't understand why is she topping the charts since.. i never really know any of her songs and i don't think she's THAT popular... hmm.. so weird.

But i'm pleasantly surprised by this MV, very versatile and i think she have the chance to be successful in US since i think the people will love her fierce look and she speaks good english..

Good luck to her~
Can you hear my heart?

I got a news update today on Sun, and it was just saying that her music video for "Fancy Free" is now on Itunes.

I assumed it would just be on the US Itunes, but I checked on my iPhone and it is also appearing on the UK Itunes along with the single. "China Wine" and 3 other older singles packed with mixes are also now on Itunes UK too. Yay! biggrin.gif
