Remember the first-ever female champion of the inaugural Project Superstar made popular by local television station Channel U, Kelly Poon? She should be no stranger to the local audience, having shot to fame purely by the show of support her local fans showed her during her competition days.
After being spurred on by the humongous success of her debut album Love Me, Kelly which hit platinum sales last year, Kelly’s fans should be more than happy to know that the rising star will be releasing her 2nd album, titled In The Center Of The World on Sep 28!
For those who can hardly wait, pre orders will start on the 17th island wide and, with that, fans will get to bring home exclusive Kelly t-shirts! Not only that, those sporting the limited Kelly t-shirts will get a chance to hear Kelly live at the following event!
Event: Kelly <In the Center of the World> Asia Press Conference
Date: 29th Sep
Time: 2pm
Venue: Lunar’s Asia Fusion Bar @ The Cannery
In The Centre Of The Earth is worth looking out for as this time round, Kelly managed to enlist the help of Yao Chien (who worked with the likes of Coco Lee, Elva Hsiao, Rene Liu and Vicky Zhao) to help produce her 2nd album, through the recommendation of famous local music producer, Lee Wei Song.
Although Kelly is famed to be the next Stefanie Sun of Singapore, Kelly begs to differ. According to the superstar, “Every singer has her own unique quality. As a Singaporean, I am very proud and supportive of Stefanie Sun’s success but I can’t be the next Stefanie because our styles are totally different! What I do hope to achieve is her astounding results and she will always be a benchmark for me to work towards to!”
With In The Center Of The World, Kelly will be trying out different approaches to music. For example, there will be a unique mix of songs that will definitely stand out in today’s Chinese pop industry.
Just to list a few, there are some songs in the album that incorporate the use of traditional Indian instruments and other light-hearted ones which leverage upon the relaxing nature of the violins to help sooth listeners. As for those who prefer soppy romantic songs, In The Center Of The World will also feature Korean love songs that will undoubtedly move you to tears.
