Edward Chen(陳昊森) - Almost Human Album Thoughts (Mandopop)

 




    Edward Chen is a Chinese actor from Taiwan. He first started to become known as a Boys Love actor in web shows such as Red Balloon. His fame grew tremendously when he was casted in the BL blockbuster hit, Your Name Engraved Herein where he also sang the main theme song in the film. This song would go on to win numerous awards causing his version of the song to also be released along side the original soundtrack version sang by another singer. Thus, Edward's music career began..... Almost Human is his debut album. 





01 孤傲
02 太陽色的獅子
03 半透明
04 冬日快樂
05 一起流浪 (feat. 魏如萱)
06 Wanna Be with You
07 貼
08 簡單
09 晚安






    Almost Human is an album for the fans who love Edward and all that he has done. He has released a couple singles before this album was released which I hadn't expected an album. Edward was mostly seen as an actor before this album but I always loved his version of Herein's theme song. If you liked that song then, you will love Almost Human to bits. The tracklist is really a continuation of the same sound that most were introduced when Edward started singing in the mainstream. The album brings pop rock love ballads that you would expect, even the track that brought us here is on the list and everything just feels right. I love the new songs because it's not too adventurous this time around. I'm not a big fan of the duet track since it sound a bit annoying(the female vocal) however, the title tracks on this album are the cherry on top of a pretty solid debut effort. 





    Edward Chen loves that high falsetto. I'm not mad at him though. His voice is pretty when he goes into that high point vocally. His normal low range sounds soft and warm. He sings well for not being an actually professional singer -Well, he is now and i'm here for it. 




 



   Almost Human is an album that will feed the hunger you had as a fan of Edward Chen. He became a singer to give you what you have been craving. Don't let your heart flutter too much.
