I finally found some Chinese soul music.
For years now Jay Chow has been referred to as the Chinese King of R&B, an assertion that has always annoyed the hell outta me. Don’t get it twisted, I’m not saying that Jay isn’t talented. I’m just saying…you have more of a chance squeezing an R&B riff out a Russian White-Supremacist than one of ole’ Jay’s pop songs.
Back to the new guy.
He’s actually been around for a while. His name is Khalil Fong (方大同) and his fourth release, Orange Moon, came out earlier this week. If you like Robin Thicke, early Brian McKnight or Joe, meet your brand new jones:
Merry Christmas by the way.
I know I’ve neglected to post a Christmas wish. It’s been too painful to actually think about the friends so far away I have to actually round up the distance between us to the nearest thousand miles. I miss you all and I’ve been praying, wishing, hoping to see you soon.
I’ll be back to wish you a Happy New Year in another post. And since most of you are at least 8 hours behind me (if not 12 or 14) – I’ll let you know about this whole 2009 thing.

So, ok. I am loving this!! Forgive me, it’s not so much his voice, but the mix of genre and culture. I want more!!!
