Leehom's lastest album, remember to go out and get your copy
Leehom Wang's highly anticipated new album is here! In 2006, the talented singer-songwriter was crowned the Best Male Mandarin Singer at the Golden Melody Awards, and staged a successful concert tour, bringing his music to fans throughout Asia. Beyond that, he devoted much of his time to acting in Ang Lee's new film Lust, Caution, set in 1930s Shanghai. With shooting finally wrapped up, Leehom is returning to music with the album Change My Ways.
In his last two albums, Heroes of Earth and Shangri-la, Leehom championed a fusion of hip hop and Chinese traditional music, a musical style that he dubbed "chinked-out". For his latest album, he is ready to "change his ways" and present a new image and new musical ventures. His latest album will take on a cleaner and more mellow sound, as can be heard in his new song "Falling Leaf Returns To Root". No matter what musical direction the singer takes, it is clear the one thing that won't change is the quality, sincerity, and talent that comes with every Leehom Wang album.
