Best of 2007 (3) : Top 5 CDs

And finally in our review of the year here are our top 5 favourite CDs of the year.

1) Various - Duay ruk dae kroo salah

What a great collection of songs by Grammy's female luktung singers! There is Tai Orratai with her fabulous "Khor kae roo kao" and Praewa Patcharee's "Jeb tee tong jai" plus other great songs from the likes of Takkatan Cholada and Ratchanok Srilophan.



2) Takkatan Cholada - tanon kon fun

So many wonderful songs on this album, her second. It includes the fantastic Mai chai fan tum taen mai dai, one of the best songs i heard all year.



3) Prik Wharn - fan nai fhun

Best song this year was "Chai kon raek" by Prik Wharn, a sledgehammer of a country torch ballad, sung by a young lady who appears to like strumming her guitar in an armchair placed in a field. Rest of the album isn't bad either.



4) Tai Orratai - pasa ruk jark dokyah

Tai Orratai, whose voice has the ability to take you away from current reality and transport you into a world of woe, lost love, sacrifice and dancing for coin.



5) Sear Napat - kum diew tee kao jai

Sear has a great voice and has an album full of powerful country ballads here.



Others we liked...

Best of 2007 (1) : Top 5 Music Videos

These, in our opinion, are the top 5 music videos in Thai lukthung this year.

1) Kratae - perd jai sao tae



How can it be any other video really? Kick boxing on an underground train? Excellent! The choreography of the dancing and fighting matches the music perfectly.

2) Takkatan Cholada - mai chai fan tum taen mai dai



This video really tugs the heart strings, she thinks the guy she loves loves her too, she runs up the stairs to see him... but the guy has got back with his ex. Heartbreak!

3) Tai Orratai - kho khae ru khaow



Always loved this video both for the triple view of Tai and the sequence when Tai switches places with the girl to sing to that dumb dude.

4) Ajareeya Bussada - ploi pai tung jai ruk



The bit where the guy reaches up to Leew and she thinks he loves her again but then he just adjusts her hair. The expression on Leew's face... well its true heartbreak!

5) Pee Saderd - jee hoi



Fantastic dancing girls and magical weirdness going on. Job done!
