It has been a few years since 8Asians first covered singer-songwriter Dawen’s debut single “Wake Up” and his cover of Maxwell’s “Pretty Wings.” I’ve been following Dawen as he moved to Taiwan to work on his first Mandarin language album after being signed with Universal Records.
I’m excited to hear his debut single in this chapter of his career, “Hello” (你好). Says Dawen (oh wait, I mean 王大文), “This music video is especially important to me as my brother George flew all the way from Los Angeles to produce and film it. This video is my love letter to my new home. I hope it conveys just how much I love this place.”
If this song is supposed to make you feel love for Taiwan, it’s “mission accomplished” for me. This song makes me think of Taiwan and the fun times I had making new friends and singing mando-pop songs while I was at LoveBoat.
About jozjozjoz
jozjozjoz is a taiwanese-american gal who lives and blogs underneath the hollywood sign and who doesn’t clean her fishtank unless the fish starts to do the backstroke. she is also able to leap tall buildings in a single bound, but cannot stop from bumping into door handles, cabinet doors, and anything else that protrudes or has a sharp edge. she does not run with scissors for this same reason. she can pet the fur off a dog but don’t ask her to go anywhere near a horse. or a moth. or a roach. her dealings with L.A.’s finest (aka the parking violations department) are legend, as are her giant sneezes.
Other than the two too many joz’s, jozjozjoz is a perfectly normal, relatively sane individual who defies the odds, reaches for the stars, and carries moonbeams home in a jar. She’d rather be a fish… but not in her own dirty fishtank.
