GMA and Sodagreen

The nomination list for this year's Golden Melody Awards was announced just recently and while Leehom is noticeably absent from the list of nominees (*gasp*), Sodagreen seemed to have picked up quite a number of nominations. I first heard of them through Mayday fans as many of them had raved about how good Sodagreen are. I have not actually heard any of their songs though. Having said that, I have to admit that I am very outdated in what's going on in mandopop world right now. I don't listen to the radio anymore, preferring instead to listen to my fave CDs on endless repeat :P I am ashamed to admit that the first time I heard Onion (洋葱) was when Ashin sang it. I had heard of the song, but not actually listened to it till Ashin sang it on a tv program. I had no idea the song was so popular by then, it was Rayne who pointed that out to me. Now if only suda51 will stop singing Onion... hehe

On a recent trip to Singapore's HMV, I saw Sodagreen's Unparalleled Beauty (無與倫比的美麗) in the new release section. I was tempted to pick up a copy but I hesitated - I don't always buy CDs based on other people's recommendation that I have not listened to.

But judging from the number of nominations they have garnered for that album, I may just buy the CD afterall.
