Good review of Moving Notes album from Zao Bao 16th Aug 2009
摘自早报周刊 （16.08.2009）专栏：
音乐作者：黄靖晶
陈伟联 《走唱》
可听度：**** （4 stars)
推荐歌曲：《分手的情书》、 《和你同名的星星》、 《大海》、 《就在这里》
陈伟联的新专辑找来不少著名音乐人助阵，从本地的小寒、梁文福到海外的林夕和姚若龙。其实，专辑最亮眼的创作是陈伟联的7首作曲。陈伟联的创作：孤寂的《孤单好吗》、苦情的《永远的朋友》、温馨的《星光伴我心》、揪心的《分手的情书》、苦涩的《圆规》、坚定的《宁愿》、失落的《寂寞之国》，首首歌曲的旋律风格鲜明，具备抒情摇滚的清雅感染力，作曲功力令人刮目相看。除了动听的曲，陈伟联是幸福的，他的曲碰上了优越的词、精彩的编曲。比如林夕作词的《分手的情书》算是专辑中最优秀的一首。陈伟联清唱歌曲的第一句‘聚要吃苦，散要受苦,就看谁更顽固'已经很吸引人。
歌词生动且深刻写道：“我本来是孤独的壁虎，你生来是掌上明珠。。。。。眼前无路，心中有数，何必继续漫步。。。。。别为我粉身碎骨。” Kenn C 把歌曲编得缓慢感伤，将歌曲进退两难的困境立体化。
相比两年前的上一张专辑《i伟联》，陈伟联进步很多，新专辑整体上摆脱了“老气”的影子，由木吉他、电吉他和钢琴为主的曲风，这回走简约的抒情风，显得更有气质。除了7首创作的成绩单，另有一首同样让陈伟联骄傲不已，即今年的国庆庆典主题曲《就在这里》。
重听这首歌，重温国庆庆典当天，陈伟联演唱《就在这里》时的温馨激昂气氛。小寒的词，歌曲一句“晚霞中古城或许很美，我有家的堡垒”唱出家的美。陈伟联保留每张专辑都有翻唱曲的“传统”，这翻唱了张雨生的经典歌曲〈大海〉，呈现 迴然不同的韵味。
有别于张雨生澎湃汹涌的“大海”，陈伟联唱出风平浪静后的“大海”。得一提，编曲人 Terence Teo 功不可没，将〈大海〉编得更抒情又不缺感情，呈现十足的陈伟联个人特色。

While queueing to go into MC recording studio 1 for the "Don't forget the lyrics" Chinese recording, I received a call from Music Junction (MJ) AMK Hub at about 2.30 pm that Wei Lian's cd has arrived. After the recording, I purchased 6 copies. I am going to buy more over the weekend from other cd stores. Overseas fans from Canada, Taiwan, HK and Malaysia request my help to get copies from them. I am not buying them for my ownself.
Following are the information I received yesterday:
1. Music Junction all stores have stock
2. Sembawang CD (selective stores have stock)
3. CD-Rama (selective stores have stock - JE and Tampines have stock)
4. HMV (Not sure but should have stock )
I would suggest for you to go to bigger cd stores they should have stock but those smaller around HDB area may have to wait till 9th Aug.

WL news in Newpaper 3rd Aug "Don't take my picture without asking"
FOR two years, local singer Kelvin Tan, who took a break after the release of his last album i-Weilian in 2007, has been living as an ordinary person.
That includes frequently using public transport.
During a recent interview with U-Weekly, the 27-year old laughed and said: 'Since I had so much time on my hands, I started taking buses and MRT trains again. It helped me save up quite a lot.'
Kelvin, who was born visually-impaired, didn't mind being recognised by fellow commuters, but professed to not liking cameras one bit.
'I'm very sensitive to the clicking sound of cameras, and I am instantly aware when someone takes a snapshot of me,' he said.
'Actually, not only do I hear the sound, I can sense the sudden bright flash light. It's really unpleasant.'
He added that he gets angry at times because unlike others who can spot the camera and evade it in time, he cannot.
'I just hope that people understand that I'm not a piece of scenery that you can photograph as and when you like,' he said.
'If you want to photograph me, at least have the courtesy to ask first.'
Kelvin enjoyed his career peak in 2006, after emerging champion of the inaugural Mandarin singing competition Project SuperStar.
He has sung in big arenas such as the Singapore Indoor Stadium, MAX Pavilion and Suntec Convention Hall and dreams of performing at the Esplande next. 'The concert halls in Esplanade are smaller but much cosier, and I've heard that the sound system there is great.'
His soon-to-be-released third album, Walk, Sing, Chen Weilian, will feature several self-penned songs.'I didn't deliberately set out to transform into a singer-songwriter, it just kind of hit me one day that I wanted to be myself,' he said.He admitted to 'slightly losing his real personality', especially over the last few years, when he ventured into Taiwan.
'When people started making remarks that I've become more PR-savvy, I realised how important it is to stay true to oneself.'
The songs he wrote for his upcoming album are 'easy-listening and soothing', said Kelvin.
'Basically, they are simple songs, a reflection of my current state of mind.'
When quizzed about his declining popularity, Kelvin was surprisingly candid.
'Facts don't lie. It's true I'm not in the hot zone right now,' he said.
'However, I don't think it's that people have forgotten me completely. It's just that I've been out of sight for a while.
'It's time to tell everyone that Kelvin Tan is back!'
Masseuse
He has always believed that everyone has to have a back-up plan to fall back on and he once told the local media that should the music industry not work out for him, he will either return to busking on the streets - Kelvin started out as a busker - or become a masseuse.
'If that really happens, I don't see anything shameful about it. It's not a 'downgrade' of jobs at all,' he said matter-of-factly.
'It's a real world out there and it's always good to be prepared for the worst.'
Kelvin has been appointed to sing the Mandarin version of this year's National Day theme song, What Do You See.
The song, written by local rock band Electrico, had critics and fans divided, as there were some who liked it for being unique and others who panned it for not being catchy enough.
'The Chinese version is pretty similar to the English one,' said Kelvin.
'Just that compared to Electrico's, mine is not so rock-flavoured.'
