Package from HK

My friend Prodip sent me the new Ivana Wong CD from Hong Kong. I'm not a huge Cantopop fan, but Ivana's cool because she writes her own songs and has a nice style. She also had the good taste to have Prodip design the release. He happened to be visiting GRSF when Jeana Sohn's art show was up, and thought it would be a nice fit for the project. Now it's finally out.


I think CDs from HK have the best packaging around--probably to encourage fans to buy the real thing and not bootlegs. This one comes shrink-wrapped in a fancy cardboard box.


When you unwrap it, you can hang the box on your wall like art! The CD has the same art on its cover.


The CD itself has Jeana's art and so does the booklet, which is bound into the holder. Lyrics are printed in China, but there are nice Polaroids on every spread.



Here's what the pop star looks like. Hopefully pretty enough to divert your attention from my dirty, chapped fingers! Skateboarding around on a cold, windy day will do. Nothing some hot coffee and new and interesting warm pop music can't fix. Look for a music review in GR46.
