Miss Kelly (Kelly Poon) | 3/5
SINGAPORE - She made a bit of a splash a few years ago, but Singapore’s Mandopop singer Kelly Poon went kind of quiet after that her last album, Super Kelly, back in 2011. But don’t put her in the “where are they now” file just yet - the former Project Superstar has come up with a new EP, Miss Kelly, and she definitely wants people to sit up and take notice. Firstly, the five track EP comes in a glossy photo mag, featuring Poon in lounging around in various almost-alluring poses wearing next to nothing. The lead single, a dance-pop number called Lover, reveals a more mature, sexier side to the songstress, but of course, her vocal range is once again shown in her ballads, Goodbye, Clown and Sorry, as well as the only English track on the EP, Why Goodbye. It’s a far cry from her goody image of years past, but while some might object to this change in Poon’s artistic direction, it’s not to say that it’s a bad thing, considering the state of the current Asia pop market we’re in.
