七年之氧
词曲:郑可为 / 唐达

我不敢确定
我不能证明
握在手掌心
或许只是个幻影

再寻觅
华丽的憧憬
心忐忑不定
未知总让人着迷

绚烂的诱惑
迷失了自我
空追逐的结果
I want you to know

七年之氧无所不在
别失去才了解无法重来
OH 不放手
OH 不回头
OH 付出后才值得拥有

七年之氧无所不在
生根的幸福最无法替代
握紧了就不放手
OH 不回头   
OH 付出后才值得拥有

于是敢确定
于是能证明
爱在手掌心
不闻围绕的噪音

绚烂的诱惑
隐藏了什么
空追逐没有结果

你就是我的空气
有你我不会窒息


七年之氧无所不在
终于明白你就是我的未来
OH 不放手
OH 不回头
OH 付出后才值得拥有


七年之氧无所不在
生根的幸福最无法替代
握紧了就不放手
OH 不回头   
OH 付出后才值得拥有

学会 - 郑可为 (8频道《绝世好工》插曲)


Mediacorp's blockbuster drama Dream Job 绝世好工  features my song ‪as the subtheme song!

学会 

就这样坐着彼此相偎依
听树叶飘落沙沙的声音
时间就像曝光的相机
拍下重叠 爱你的回忆

认识你像一段奇妙旅行
唤醒自己都不懂的深情
想念变成每天的经历
第一次  幸福那么笃定

爱不是找个能相处的人
而是找颗你离不开的心
我终于明白 双手存在的意义
是为了把你抱紧

是你让我  学会去相信
最简单的反而最刻骨铭心
爱不是迁就而是做回自己
记得保留心中那点孩子气
是你让我  学会不放弃
爱需要包容却更需要鼓励
幸福是两个人
一起面对所有的事情
而遇见你  是最美丽的风景

Resorts World Sentosa Chinese New Year Gala Dinner 2014

I was really excited to be part of this show, and mostly thankful to my awesome band who spent countless hours rehearsing with me to make sure it was perfect.


We performed for 2 nights for the VIP guests of Resorts World Sentosa,
and when I was glad to be headlining the show with WANG LEEHOM!!!

Almost Is Never Enough ~ Kewei X Sezairi

I loved this song the moment I heard it... And I wanted to cover it. 
It's been a while since we had something so old fashionably melodious, oozing with melisma, and so sweet it's almost cheesy. 

The first person I thought would suit this duet to a T was Sezairi, and I've never really worked with him, except meeting him a couple of times at events. 

So This happened:

falling in love... with 2ne1

so we really wanted to upgrade my home made Youtube videos
but I still wanted to keep it as a one-take.
No miming,
everything real-time, one take.



It's not perfect, but I really enjoyed recording and practising for this with guitarist Clarence Chung! :)
Big thanks to Roland and his video team from Sync Studios :)

love

明明就。。。

才发现我还蛮喜欢翻唱男生的歌!
第一次唱周董的歌,你们喜欢吗?







I've neglected my Youtube for a long time, 
and I miss my Wednesday Wideos!

Since I no longer sing anywhere regular, I do think I owe it to myself and you guys :)
a regular Wednesday Wideo is in order!

Thanks to Episene for the knitted cape dress
SNAP Productions for the video
and The Loft for the venue




love~*

chestnuts roasting...

It's the time of the year again!

I wanted to create a video that was artistic, professional, but schedules just didn't allow :( It also meant I had to pre-record and mime over my singing to shoot for nice visuals.

Again I opted for a simple one-take Point and Shoot. Hope you'll like it in all its simplicity.

PS. I'm also wearing my Logitech UE6000 headphones, first time featuring them in my videos!

Hope you'll be surrounded by love this season :)


xoxo

happy independence day! :)



Happy Independence Day!
This is dedicated to my American Boys,
one day I'll make it to your end of the world and sing for you :)
The world is getting smaller everyday!

Love,
Kewei

PS. Just settled into the new home, yet to setup my recording gear! :(
Please bear with me while I supply these limited edition artistic quality videos :p

Support Original! Support Original!


This song is written by three 15-year-olds from Cedar Girls Secondary School, who won The Originals IP Champion Music Fiesta 2011, and it's my honour to cover it :)

It was inspired by the theme of "What it means to be Original" and why one should support Original.

The least I can do is to credit them -
Lidiya Hidihir, Sita Rajagopal and Cheng Hoi Ting -
and to help spread the word/ beautiful song they have written. 


Here's a message I received in my Facebook inbox a few days ago:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi kewei,

I was shopping at HMV intending to find a suitable song for my wedding march in. I look through all the wedding albums but couldn't find any song that I like rather than the usual cannon d or my valentine. So I walked pass the display rack with your Fallen album on the rack. I looked at your album, thinking:" this girl, great voice, appear on 新光大道before, used to be the accapalla for ah mei and 陶喜喜. Finally album is out, proud Singaporean."

I picked up the headphones, not intending to find any songs suitable but just want to listen to your voice.. Then I listen till track 6 where you sang 'I'll stand by you'

I was mesmerize... Your clear bright voice with a unique feel singing: I'll stand by you.... I'll stand by you.....

I closed my eyes and fascinating that me and my husband walking into the ball room with your song in the background. The atmospher will be excellent! It's gonna be perfect!

I want to make sure my choice is right. So I asked my fiancé to listen. At first he was reluctant, not very sure who you are. He put on the headphone and I repeat track 6... He gave me a puzzled 'are you sure' look and I smiled back to ensure him.. 5 seconds into the song, he smiled at me and nod his head... We know we found the perfect song for our wedding march in...

We were about to buy your album then realize the song is too short for march in... We really liked your version of singing I'll stand by you. But we want a longer version. I search online, YouTube, blog everywhere for a longer version but couldn't find...

I really wish to play your voice on our first march in. Is there anyway I can buy or download the full version of that song..?

I can only get original album as there are copy right issue for hotel...

I seek your help and hope for your favorable reply...

*you made Singapore proud. Pls continue to share your beautiful voice..

Regards,
XXX

My first response was,
I didn't know whether to laugh or to cry.

I was very touched by her long message and sincere appreciation of my work,
and also honoured that she would choose it for one of the most important moments in her life,
as her march-in song for her wedding night.

But CD buying is no longer anyone's lifestyle nor habit.
Even to contemplate buying a CD seemed like a far stretch,
no matter how much you liked a certain track.
There was always somewhere you could download it from,
or you could satiate that bugging earworm on YouTube.

It seems silly to want to buck this trend of non-purchase
by screaming "Support Original! Support Original!"
because it's definitely not going to happen.

This lovely message also screamed loud and clear -
no matter how much I really love your track,
and actually want to use it for a specific purpose,
I'm probably not going to buy a $20 CD.

Not that she wasn't supportive,
she was already really sweet in dropping a long message,
and I'm thankful for that.
Buying a CD is really no longer something that most people do,
except me and all my musician/singer friends who buy each others' albums.

Having said that, i want to thank EVERY SINGLE PERSON who have bought my album.
Because you could have repeated my songs
off Youtube,
off www.taykewei.com,
off taykewei.blogspot.com
but you bought a piece of CD just to rip it back into file format,
because you  bothered to.

This is for YOU

2011 Lookback

Perhaps this comes a little late,
but hey, punctuality has never been my strength :p



My 2010 had been an amazing year,
with the release of my debut album "Come Closer with... Kewei".


In 2011,
it brought me to places I've always dreamt of going to,
not just for vacation, but for work!

I promoted the album in Taiwan (超級偶像)



in Hong Kong (Asian Pop Music Festival)

Representing Singapore together with JJ Lin


                        Siwon from Super Junior!





and in the heart of Mongkok at Langham Place


on various stations






 

at a sell-out showcase at Backstage

Barry Tam on drums/guitar, Ram Cheung on guitar, Jan Ho on bass!

with spontaneous guest artistes Diya Tan, Jonathan Wong and producer Taz Chen Taizheng!

























and even got the opportunity to be part of the Hong Kong Artistes 311 - Love Beyond Borders charity theme song recording for the Japanese tsunami tragedy.

This really opened my eyes to the amazing organisation of the Hong Kong entertainment industry, led by Jackie Chan, Alan Tam, Eric Tseng, in their effort to make a difference and to lend their influence to help those in need.




Also, had the chance to work with the awesome Kevin Ou on a beautiful charity fundraising photoshoot Because We Are One for the Japan 2011 disaster.


Played erhu and sang at The Singapore Entertainment Awards at the Singapore Indoor Stadium :)



This year also marked the end of my touring days with JJ Lin and Wang Leehom
T__T
Click on their names for past blogs on their world tours :)




This is really an end to an era in my life!
As blogged here, at the finale concert of Music Man Tour,
I travelled to so many cities, made so many friends from around the world,
toured with the best musicians, the most famous superstars,
and learnt so much about myself, about music, about what I wanted, about life.

I've been touring for about 6 years thus far,
and am now focusing on my own career as a solo artiste...
I'm also thankful for the fans of David Tao, Wang Leehom, JJ Lin and Amei for loving me in an 爱屋及乌 way :)


I also had the good fortune to meet Dick Lee and work with him as IPOS ambassadors :)
and later again at SingaPOP!



with some of the most talented and established artistes/producers, Kit Chan and Lee Weisong! :)


Somewhere along the way, I went to Maldives
 
and took Korean lessons :)

and then started prepping for the next album :)


i also tried Wednesday Wideos on Youtube, I lasted about 2 weeks LOL


at the launch of www.youtube.com.sg,
i wrote a song for them! :)




Also collaborated with the super cool Manhand from Malaysia in a song with Einein! :) 
ManHanD慢行 - 空杯子 feat.可為&盈盈




The year wrapped up with Singapore Hit Awards
where I performed with the 2 most talented and funny artistes Jim Lim and David Tan,
whom I toured with on Amei's tour and had a ball of a time with :)


and the Orchard Road Christmas Light up with the President! ^_^

and my first Countdown show with Channel 8! :)




Thank you for following me thus far,
for reading this blog in this times of fragmented attention spans,
when reading 140 characters or a few lines of status updates are the norm,
thank you for allowing me to write/sing for someone like you
when i could have been writing/singing to a void.

To quote myself in 2010 -
Thank you for listening to my songs,
for buying the album,
for your Youtube views,
Facebook likes and comments,
spreading the word about my music,
and for every single little thing you have done which ennobled my 2010, and 2011.

i'm all about you(tube) ~ an original!

so i hear YouTube Singapore is launching real soon,
and i'm sooo excited!!!

yesterday in the shower i thought i should celebrate this magnificent medium by writing a song, and the lyrics just came to me in half an hour, and i went to sleep a happy dreamer.

this afternoon i whiled away at the guitar and uke, and voila!

enjoy! i heart YouTube!



----------------------------------------------------------------------
It's All About You(Tube)
Music and Lyrics by Tay Kewei

Who knew we'd come this far
It started out so easy
You asked for my name
I gave you a codeword
Sparks flew and we immediately connected

We started out so slow
We didn't know where to go
But you brought me tears of joy and sadness
i was sure i wanted more

My friends all say i'm a changed girl
They've never seen me glow like this
You're the best thing that's happened to me

All I wanna see is youuuutube
When I open my eyes first thing in the morning
Youuuutube
At the end of the day before I start dreaming
Youuuuutube
Im all about you / thank you for you

You told me i could do it
You showed me those who could
I didn't really dare believe it
But trying took nothing to lose

I showed a side that no one knew
i never dared reveal
But you brought me love and so much truth
And i was sure you wanted more

都甚麼時候了 ~ 張惠妹

謝謝大家的支持﹐Facebook Fans破萬了﹗
想回饋大家﹐也回到我的根本-Youtube videos :)

知道阿妹有了新的主打歌﹐滿懷期待的試聽。。。
第一次聽﹐被震撼了。
怎麼那麼前衛﹐那麼jazz,那麼另類的曲風﹗

再聽多幾次﹐愛上了。

很多新人為了受大眾的歡迎﹐為了傳唱度﹐
都會選擇比較芭樂的曲風。
說真的﹐我有時也會向這種市場壓力屈服。

能夠試探廣大聽眾口味﹐擴大他們音樂領域的這個責任﹐
真的要交給一哥一姐們了。

聽到這種主打歌﹐真爽。
