MV : "San noi glap ban" by Oiy Kraton

This is a powerful video.

CD : Takkatan Cholada - nao sang neon

This is the debut album of Takkatan Cholada (though she has only released 2 albums to date so this was only released back in 2006). Now she and Tai Orratai are my favourite singers and its hard to pick who is better (so i won't) though i do think Takkatan is better at fast songs. There is a great example here "Laook jark nong sao" which has a terrific beat to it.

Of course where a singer like Takkatan really scores with her superb and powerful voice is on slower songs and this album starts off with a great one, the title track. Slow paced but with a powerful melody. "Roop see jong tung hua tiang" is also another good slow track with some beautiful singing. Overall the album is great, not quite as good as her next album (which i thought was one of the best of last year) but excellent all the same. Not to be missed. The only annoying thing being the DRM Grammy have put on the CD.

Rating : 8.5/10

MV : "Lah hauk jark haung sow" by Takkatan Cholada

Great song from Takkatan's debut CD.

CD : Prai Warunya - yord phai jai pee

This is her debut CD and its certainly a very interesting lukthung album. It starts off with a gorgeous slow song with terrific organ and other instruments, Prai's vocals are pretty good. The production has used her vocals well, getting them into an intricate dance with the backing. If you like the first song "Sao baan phaen" then you are in luck as the rest of the album is pretty much the same.

"Nhee ruk" shows this off to a tee, the vocals coming in and out and seemingly playing with the instrumentation like hide and seek but then again the song is "avoid love". "Ruk chai chue noy" has some beautiful accordian. The album is a bit one-paced (actually no its totally one-paced) but its a beautiful piece of work and very enjoyable, if not very exciting, listening.

Rating : 7/10
