Award-winning singer Sasha Lee "Hokkien Jazz" album produced by pop pop music

a lot of malaysians (including audiophiles) still look up to foreign music and singers, thinking that malaysia cannot produce world-class singers/albums. a case in point, when overseas singers tour malaysia, the crowd go for them and willing to pay top dollars. when malaysian singers hold concerts, very few will be interested.

taiwanese music label, LG music, who has award-winning taiwanese hokkien music queen sasha lee (li ya sha) under their arms (sasha won the best hokkien singer in 2013 taiwan golder melody award) has searched high and low for a production team that could elevate sasha's music to a new level. they came to malaysia and engaged pop pop music to do sasha's latest album, which is aiming squarely at this year's golden melody award, hoping to win it for the second time.

so, the result is this album, a first-in-kind taiwan-malaysia collaboration that augurs well for the the future growth of both music labels. one thing to note, sasha's music is modern and avant-garde, not the malaysian hokkien you would expect!

available at CDRAMA. this CD has premium packaging and first-class musicianship by maestro tay cher siang's WVC jazz band and of course top-notch singing by sasha lee.

if this album wins the golden melody award this year, malaysians would surely look at local productions differently. fingers fully crossed.
