Asian Pop Weekly Reads: [Album Review] Khalil Fong 方大同 - The Dreamer 夢想家
<p>“The Dreamers” is a masterclass in artistic integrity and a masterpiece in execution. An organic coalescing of Mandopop legend Khalil Fong’s hopes and dreams and the final album released prior to his passing, the album is akin to sketches in a sketchbook. Here, Fong promised no answers, but allowed his imagination to run free; intermingling Jazzy/ bluesy/soulful rhythms with unique, never-before-explored textures, samples and genre-bending combinations whilst using only the most accessible of instruments. The result was these ten tracks, which provide us rare insight into one of Mandopop’s most brilliant minds in his most untampered state. </p><br><p>Narrated by Jocelle Koh</p><br><p>Read the article: <a href="https://asianpopweekly.com/?p=8834" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://asianpopweekly.com/front-page-banner/album-review-khalil-fong-方大同-the-dreamer-夢想家/</a></p><p>Missing Khalil as much as we are?
