Sodagreen Walk Together Tour - Singapore
Max Pavilion @ Singapore Expo, Oct 19
It has been three years since all six members of the
Taiwanese band performed together and what a glorious get-together this was.
Frontman Wu Ching-feng shone with his crystal-clear, high-pitched voice. He is such an evocative singer that he can take on familiar hits by others and make you feel like you are hearing them for the first time.
The concert’s theme of heading back to the warmth of family was also nicely sustained. The evening ended with the gospel-tinged What Is Troubling You and, as everyone sang along, it was a
moment as cosy and comfortable as home.
Yoga Lin Fugue Concert Tour
The Star Theatre, Nov 24
There were no dazzling effects or outrageous costumes, but none of that mattered when the songs and the singing were of such a calibre.
Taiwan’s Yoga Lin has built a rich body of work with both depth of feeling and breadth of genre, from the brash and jazzy You Are What You Eat to the upbeat The Wonderful Life to devastating love song Heartbreak.
And with the 25-year-old in great form vocally, it was simply a delight to soak up the songs live.
