Angela Zhang 5th Season- Bai Bai De

Angela Zhang 5th Season- Di 5 Ji

Angela Zhang's Fifth Season Album

Angela Chang's Fifth Season

Angela Chang (Zhang Shaohan), who has been all over newspapers and magazines for rumours about neglecting her parents and messing with drugs, just released a brand new Mandarin album, Fifth Season. The title may confuse fans who are familiar with her discography though, as this is actually her sixth full release.

The boxset comes with a black 52-page mini-photobook, with photographs of Angela dressed from casual (a red T-shirt and blue jeans) to glamourous (à la Disco Queen, complete with a blond short bob), spanning 5 seasons defining the petite lady. The lyrics booklet, on the other hand, features many images of her in all sorts of white apparel, to fit the title of the first single, “White”. Also included in Fifth Season is a bonus DVD with 3 music videos: “White”, “The place we see the furthest” and “Shake your head”.

UrbanWire was really impressed with Angela’s vocals at first while listening to the disc from beginning to end. The first and second tracks, “Fifth Season” and the previously mentioned “White”, sound as though they were tailor-made for Angela’s signature powerhouse vocals. Both were sad ballads, in which the 27-year-old portrayed the feelings of heartbreak well.

However, as the CD continues to the next few tracks, you’ll realise that Angela’s voice in an upbeat song like “Shake your head” or a cheerful one like “Be a little happier” sounds similar to the ballads mentioned. The joyful numbers seemed to be infected with the sorrow of the ballads. In comparison to her previous album, Ang 5.0, in which you can imagine her smiling and jumping when recording “I’m in Love”, while your heart weeps for her as she belts out “Don’t Want to Understand”, the Taiwanese-born singer/actress appears to have lost the ability to render the various moods of the songs.

It seems like she was rather affected by the negative publicity she received while preparing for this album. Prior to the release, news about Angela refusing to support her parents spread across various media, while she fought back and claimed that her mother took about a hundred million New Taiwan dollars (equivalent to $500,000 in Singapore dollars) of her hard-earned money. To make things worse, she was accused of drug abuse. If these were the factors affecting her performance in the happy tracks, she could’ve just chosen ballads for her album instead to lessen the disappointment of her listeners.

Otherwise, the songs in Fifth Season are generally very well written, with enjoyable melody and lyrics, such as “Occasionally”, which is also a favourite. The chorus goes “偶爾很清醒 偶爾卻抗拒 偶爾有睡意 偶爾很傷心/當我們反覆練習 想讓愛歸零 但無能為力…” (translated as “Occasionally awake, but occasionally resist, occasionally sleepy, occasionally very heartbroken/When we practise repeatedly, wanting our love to reset to the beginning, but there’s nothing we could do…” Her performance in “Occasionally” also matches the high standard of her debut hit “Lost Happiness”.

There’s also a cover of Bee Gees‘ “I Started A Joke”, which was rearranged as a rock ballad. The Canadian-bred Angela certainly added a strong personal flavour to it, and her fluency in English helped rack up the points too. However, there’s definitely an uneven level of performance in Fifth Season, which was a pity as Angela didn’t live up to the expectations set by the standard she delivered with Ang 5.0.

Where Do Broken Hearts Go Lyrics

I know it's been some timeBut there's something on my mind
You see, I haven't been the same
Since that cold November day...We said we needed space
But all we found was an empty place
And the only thing I learned Is that I need you desperately...
So here I am And can you please tell me... oh
Chorus:
Where do broken hearts go
Can they find their way home
Back to the open arms Of a love that's waiting there
And if somebody loves you
Won't they always love you
I look in your eyes
And I know that you still care, for me
I've been around enough to know
That dreams don't turn to gold
And that there is no easy way
No you just can't run away...
And what we have is so much more
Than we ever had before
And no matter how I try
You're always on my mind
(Chorus)
And now that I am here with you
I'll never let you go
I look into your eyes
And now I know, now I know...
