Seriously speaking, how many soul music artists are there in the Chinese music industry? and how many of them can actually play it like him? After 2 albums from him, i’ve totally fallen in love with his music and his talent. there are many artists in the Chinese music industry who love to self-proclaim that they are the singers of Chinese R&B. Yes, Jay Chou maybe is the R&B sensation of the decade, not until you listen to Khalil Fong, a humble and talented musician whom you can feel his passion for R&B and Soul in his music. noone, i mean, NO ONE could make such soulful music in the Chinese Music Industry like him yet.
don’t get me wrong, i’m not saying Jay isn’t good, he’s cool and he’s definitely one of the most gifted musicians. really, Jay earned his status in the industry. during his early days, i was crazy about him as well because i thought there finally is going to be a real Chinese R&B musician, however, he sort of disappointed me after i listened to his 3rd album as there’s not much of changes, he has been playing the same type of music over and over again with different lyrics.
and this is where Khalil Fong stands out, like David Tao (陶喆), you can have a taste of almost everything in one single studio album, in terms of instruments, performing styles, music types, mood change, etc. however, maybe the genre of music of his kind doesn’t really appeal your senses, or maybe it’s just that you haven’t get used to this genre of music in Chinese. anyway, if you still don’t know who the heck is Khalil Fong, now, it’s time for you to get to know him, his music as well as the real original R&B and Soul Music.
