Woww... just went to Corrinne May's concert last night and it was amazing! I came away even more impressed than I already was of this Singaporean singer-songwriter. A little ashamed tho, that she had to go to LA to make it big before being so warmly received here. She mentioned in the concert that it's been 9 years since she performed here! Yow... Well anyway, she has made it in LA, and she's making it big in S'pore too.. the Esplanade Concert Hall was filled to the brim, all 1500+ seats. Corrine is a very good performer, humorous, and kept us entertained during the breaks with her self-effacing, witty quips. And she's from RGS! Whee.. from the NCC, and a prefect too! Hmm, a study in contrasts, from footdrill, marching, tekanning juniors, booking students for offenses, to playing the piano, guitar, writing songs and singing! Crazy but great. Anyway, if you haven't already, go buy her albums.. I already have her 2nd album, pictured here, and I want to get her first album (Fly Away) too! Songs are very touching, clean, not angsty at all.. She has a much more idealistic and romantic worldview than many performers out there today ;) Great performance, great concert, glad I went.
