Critic’s Corner: Paul Dateh – Paul Dateh

Paul Dateh album cover

I first heard of Paul Dateh when I saw the trailer for Kollaboration 9. I was intrigued but didn’t have much a chance to really look into this artist and his work. All I knew was that he is a talented violinist but I wrote him off as an Asian male version of Miri Ben-Ari. Fast forward several months later I found out that Paul had decided to give away his album one track at a time for 10 weeks. After the first couple of weeks I realized there was a little more to this artist and decided to check out his work. So I hopped on over to Amazon and purchased his album despite some initial reservations and ignored the fact that if I waited another 7 weeks I could have the whole album for free. (Note: As of this writing he’s already released up to track 8, so for you music lovers on a budget, you can have the whole album for free in two weeks)

So the question remains, should I have just waited it out or was my purchase warrented?

I’m being super lazy so just read the following excerpt from SRadioClub’s post about Charice being featured on Now! vol. 31:

Charice Pempengco, who gained worldwide fame after her appearance on Star King, is featured on the latest installment of the Now That’s What I Call Music! CD compilations of the lastest and greatest hits. Her first American single, “Note To God” joins Billboard Chart #1 songs such as “Boom Boom Pow” by Black Eyed Peas, “Right Round” by Flo-Rida and “Poker Face” by Lady Gaga.

I remember when the first Now! came out. It was a time when it wasn’t so easy to make your own playlist… honestly I think the Now! series are ironically a bit antiquated.

AllKPop is reporting that Akon has gotten BoA to participate in a remix of his single ‘Beautiful’ for the Japanese release of his album ‘Freedom’.

BoA was quoted as saying:

“I was very happy to work together with world popstar Akon. And because I personally like the song “Beautiful”, the recording was enjoyable. In the future, I will work hard to show my good side.”

If you’re unfamiliar with the song Beautiful you can find the video for the original version after the jump. It’s one of the stronger tracks from his album.
