New David Choi Single – ‘That Girl’ Now Available

Posted on by

David Choi‘s latest single ‘That Girl’ is officially available via digital download. You can head on over to iTunes or my preferred mp3 store of choice, Amazon, to get it. David first shared this song on Youtube nearly 3 years ago which you can watch below.

So what can you expect from the official single now that it’s finally out? It’s much more polished. Obviously since this isnt a one time take via youtube, the production values are much richer and the instrumentation/arrangement is more thorough.

I’m feeling this single a lot more compared to many of the songs from this debut album, ‘Only You‘. There’s just a little more energy and thats a good thing because its something some his official recordings could use.

2009 is quickling coming to an end and as part of my guest blogging gig at mtv IGGY I was asked to compile a list highlighting what I considered the top 10 tracks of the past decade by Asian Amercan artists. It took a lot of debate and even now I’m not 100% satisfied with my list by regardless I stand by it. This is just a repost of the mtv IGGY article with some minor edits but without further ado I present to you my Top 10 Asian American Tracks From The Decade.

Let me start off this list by saying it was nearly impossible to try and pick my top 10 favorite songs by Asian American artists from the past 10 years. One reason being, I didn’t really follow the scene heavily until a couple years into the decade and even then the pickings were a bit slim at the time. Also, I’ve opted to go for my personal favorite songs that have stood the test of time, and not just the most influential. Keep in mind this is a list of top 10 songs, not artists. That would have been a similar but still different list altogether. Lastly, I’ve decided to stick strictly with Asian-American artists meaning UK import Jay Sean didn’t make the cut despite how much I love ‘Down’. All I can say is, it’s been really exciting to see more and more Asian American artists make a name for themselves in the industry and I can only imagine next decade’s top 10 will be exponentially more difficult to sort out. As with any list there’s going to be some consensus and some disagreement but without further ado I present to you my top 10 from 2000 to 2009.

Read on for the list!

More than seeing great artists you’re helping an even greater cause.

I’m a few days late in posting this up but Hip-Hop/Alternative band has put up their cover of the Lady Gaga song, ‘Speechless’. This is really one of the best performances I’ve heard from their female vocalist Jaime, as delivers a perfectly fitting vocal. It’s kind of refreshing to hear this kind type of stripped down arrangement from them. They’ve adapted well to the unplugged style.
