Vash Hsu is a Chinese singer that began his road to stardom in 2018 when he went on a music program and became runner up. He would continue to go on other programs from there where he gained fame for always being one of the best in the group of singers chosen. Survive to Remember is his debut album that was finally released this month.
Tracklist
Hsu's debut feels on the verge of wanting to remind listeners of what this singer can do. While at the same time, bringing in new listeners who might not know him. Survive to Remember wants to be a pop rock record however, a lot of rules on the Chinese music industry seem to be holding him because from executing this idea fully. This album instead becomes a ballad record most of the duration and it's not a bad thing. What i had a problem with was the high point of this album are very good. Those high points tended to be when Hsu was singing the pop rock tracks on the record. The ballad tracks blend well into the flow but, they do slow down the attractive aspects that would have been brought out more had he just went full rock and roll. I do understand that East Asia loves a good ballad or two. So do I when there's a fun build up with great vocals. Hsu gives this on some tracks in a way. I just didn't like hearing so many ballad tracks back to back like that.
Man can this guy belt out some high ass notes. When he's in there, he's in there on top of everything. I l love how he has such great control of the high part of his voice. Not only that, he's good had invoking emotion out of himself and others while having good vocal technique.
Survive to Remember has some tracks that I really enjoyed. Then some tracks that I would rather skip pass. This isn't a bad debut album for a singer to show what he brings to the table.
