i'm a big fan of this girl back in 2000 when she's still doing her pop thing with her childhood frien Marion and named themselves M2M.
When they broke u, she almost abandoned a career in music. But during her hiatus, she began writing songs on piano and mandolin for her own satisfaction and before she know it, she got materials worth of an album.
This time around she let her love of music shines through. Her love for folk and country that is.

And boy isn't she beautiful? While her friend Marion is still there wanting to be the next diva, this young girl is just happy to share her music to people willing to listen. I have nothing against pop stars(Marion went in that direction) but there's something about folk and country that grabs me. It's the simplicity maybe.
No matter, i love her hehehe
She may perform on piano and mandolin on live performance but reading the credits on her album, she actually performed more than that from guitars to hammer dulcimer to fiddle and even drums
