Cyndi Wang 2009 Beautiful Day 6CDs ( New Songs + Best Selection)

Youtube MV -

2003 Single from "Beginning" album

Title: On My Way

Artiste: Cyndi Wang
Link: www.youtube.com/watch?v=wx8VBzUPYQ4

Cyndi Wang will be releasing her first album with Gold Typhoon, . This is the latest compilation from her former record company, Avex Tracks. This is no doubt the most comprehensive compilation of Cyndi career between 2003-2009.

Beginning with Cyndi first album, Begin, that marked her singing career in 2003, this popular eye candy has released 8 albums.

A total of 6 CDs, which comes in 2 editions including DAY (Containing mainly ballads) and Night (Containing Cyndi Dance Tracks), which sources from all her previous albums releases from Avex. This album was also include 5 new tracks including Beautiful Days, Wait, When Love Comes , Girls most afraid etc.

Overall Rating

4 out of 5
Remarks : The 6 CDs and the pictorial book, it is worth to spend your money on this compilation.

Personally, her first album "Begin" in 2003 with Avex is still the best album which include songs like On my Way, When you (Dang Ni), Cinderella Tears (Hui Gu Niang De Yan Lei), Not Soul Mate etc. Between 2003 to 2009, she has transformed from the girl next door and the Jolin 's shadow to Cyndi Wang which we truly deserve.
