Xu Fei - Flys with R&B Rock Customer Review Rated Bad 9 - 9 out of 10
Like quite a number of singers and musicians in the Chinese album sections, I don't really know much about Xu Fei apart from the fact that she sings, performs acoustic guitar through this eclectically and finely balanced R&B styled album here. But what an album this is! Looking at the album cover, Xu Fei may look the proverbial elf girl with her cute bob and childlike waif appearance, but I'll assure you that some of the songs contained in this highly charged and melodic rock set of a CD, are at times far removed from little Xu Fei's image here. This is cute and rock! Xu Fei does sing sweet ballads here, but those are then suddenly followed by songs that let fly with some fast and cutting R&B sounds. The album songs ranges from indie styled rock songs, folk rock blues, a couple of beautiful melodic ballads to blistering (although light) 70s rock numbers, and overall is one fantastic album not to let slide by. For me the more upbeat rock reflections are the firm favorites, and so tracks 9, 6 and 1 top my own personal chart from this CD here. But again, this is another of those albums where the song set is varied and well balanced. Although having strong R&B leanings, this album covers most of what you can expect, and most song types are catered for. As a singer Xu Fei sings in a very youthful, and at times childlike 'punkish folk manner', and she almost shouts the vocals out in track 1. But she can settle into a more softer touch and gentler manner, with a few ballad songs (tracks 3 and 7) and lighter melodies. Xu Fei reminded me vocally a bit of Chinese singer Qia Qi She, too.

As a rundown of what to expect with the songs:-
Track 1 - The CD begins with this 1.06 intro where is heard the sound of traffic and car horns along with a bedroom unplugged acoustic guitar sound and vocal duet from Xu Fei. You then hear the heavy roar of a tube train moving, which segues into track 2.
Track 2 - This features lightly haunting electronic sounds and soft faint electric guitars stirring up ready this song, which then suddenly bursts forth into a main C/G chord melody of rhythmic guitars, band and Xu Fei's "dududu" vocal refrain. This familiar slow moody chord beat and blues vocal type carries the song, with Xu Fei singing the verses in a shouty and somewhat angsty vocal expression, in a youthful and impassioned style. At times you get some haunting and spacey electric guitars mid way, which then all returns to the main theme. Slow beat, catchy, melodic, lightly melancholic and feisty, which all ends with the haunting and quiet guitar sounds and that tube train sound again, as if everything is re-entering a large tunnel again (or coming out of one).
Track 3 - This is a light and breezy ballad that the HK Twins could easily have sung. Softer vocals from Xu Fei with a childlike melody and a cute folksy rhythm. Very sweet song. Some quick chords and vocal fragments reminded me of "Eternal Flame" by The Bangles (although only a bit of a reminder).
Track 4 - This intros with a Pink Floyd guitar type and wah wah guitar that moves into a mid tempo ballad song, with a pleasant light rock/folk sound and vocal refrain, string section. Lovely melodic song.
Track 5 - Acoustic intro that blends into a moody mid tempo French sounding folk ballad melody. A little but noir, maybe? The song also has a slight jazzy blues feel by a mid section trumpet solo, which then motions back into the moody, smoky and light melody ballad. Its also very catchy in a 60s fashion and filmic soundtrack sense, too. Nice song.
Track 6 - This is a blast! It begins with a radio being constantly re-tuned onto various stations and of fragmented songs and static being played (the songs being Xu Fei's), that then suddenly kicks in with a blistering and catchy rock number; electric guitars and funky bass with a great song refrain. Xu Fei sounds like she's in her element here! This must be based on a single cover (not certain though). Sounds a bit Transvision Vamp/Blondie in way, tinged with other 70s rock. A nice bit of Jeff Beck guitar style rocks this up, too, with some additional nifty drum work - with even a quick electric guitar and drum solo in the mix. Finishes off with a funk/disco rock rhythm variation on the main rock refrain. Fantastic!
Track 7 - This is the second of the more lighter and sweeter ballads. Complete contrast to the previous track. Piano intro with another quite childlike melody (very "Twins" type again - C and G could have sung this, too!). Catchy rhythm and even like a drama ballad song a bit.
Track 8 - Indie guitar sensibilities intro into another 90s styled light rock song. This is called "1993" which strongly rings some bells with me, and I think this is a cover song by somebody. But even so, a great song and an appropriate 90s R&B number.
Track 9 - This has just got to be the best feet raising to the floor song on the album, and an even bigger blast than track 6! Brilliant guitar intro with an instant and cutting to the chase Jeff Beck styled guitar riff, that will blow your speakers off the wall, if you have this quite loud. It all cools down, though, for a few seconds with a quick vocal intro from Xu Fei, and then moves straight into a fantastic light rock fast R&B rhythm. Its extremely infectious and vibrant with a very retro 70s and 90s rock hybrid sound. If this one doesn't get you into air guitar, blast all the stress and depression out of your system - you certainly need a mighty good song.
Track 10 - Another soft ballad song follows which calms the album down.
Track 11- This is a slow beat chanson type of song that you might hear in a romantic candle lit dinner scene from a romance drama, and features a duet piece that finishes off with strings and orchestrated finale. Quite a long one, too, at 7.00 minutes. A required taste for this one, but a song that could fit the mood when its right.

The packaging to this CD is also one of the book types. Its about 10" square with a stapled 22 page booklet inside the gate fold cover, featuring photos of Xu Fei and the lyrics in Mandarin to all the songs. The CD itself is housed in the back card cover. There is also another CD/DVD combo disk of Xu Fei's available (although I cannot comment as I haven't heard this yet), that must give some good visual elements regarding this singer/musician. Xu Fei also appears on the CD/DVD Chinese album "The Girl's Power", which showcases various popular Chinese female singers of late like Chris Li, and which is also definitely worth looking into if you want a good audio and visual sampler of such modern Chinese women singers! This album, though, is a blast! Really enjoyed this and if you like R&B, gentle ballads and indie guitar ingredients, you should be greatly rewarded here. Its great!
