Dreamz FM is a far underrated group in this looks-dominated
entertainment circle. Their music also does not follow the trends,
eg. they do not sing R&B songs just because it is the "in"
thing now. It's more of a "their own feel" thing, ie. "I do what I
feel can bring out the best in myself."
I think the charms in Dreamz FM is that they - being credible song
composers and singers - prefer to take you in with their quality
compositions and immaculate rendition. They let their music speak
on their behalf.
Do not forget their "live" performances as well. These are
definitely not to be missed!!! They have great humour, no
pretenses, and also good chemistry amongst themselves. Their
on-stage performances and impromptu antics simply bowl you over,
and it is a waste that no TV station has yet spotted their
potential in hosting programmes, eg. light entertainment or music
segments.
They also have many strings in their bows. Ric is currently
co-hosting a morning programme once a week with LiYi on 933. Cavin
is involved in the new series of "Gan Gan Zuo Ge Kai Xin Ren". Jim
is the most low-key, as he is more involved in producing albums for
other artistes. Listen closely to some songs of Fann and Stella,
you can hear Jim's voice in the background.
As for their albums:
1st album: Has contributions from many local composers, as well as
some from overseas eg.
Huang Shu Jun, Zheng Hua Juan. Pretty good way to "get to know
Dreamz FM".
Recommended songs : "Baby Come Back", "Chu Le Ai Qing", "Ao Ye",
"Nan Ban Qiu Bei Ban Qiu", "Cheng Nuo".
2nd album: More experimental than the 1st, include serial tunes,
eg. "Ni Zou Ye Hao". May not appeal as much if you are not really
into less poppy stuff. Jim's sister Lin Yu Ting made her guest
appearance on this album.
Recommended songs: "Bu Zhi De", "Deng Zhe Ni Hui Lai", "Ni Zou Ye
Hao", "Priceless"
3rd album: Best of the lot, though the style of their 1st album
would be closer to when they 1st started out. Most of the songs
leverage on their strengths - their ability to scale the notes and
hit the pitches effortlessly.
Recommended songs: "7-11 De Ai Lian", "Shou Hu Xing", "Ai Yao Zen
Me Jie", "Gan Jue", Stay With U"
FYI, they also duet with other singers as well. They sang with Tao
Zi on "Ai Yo", with A-Mei-Mei "Dong Tian", with Evelyn Tan "Xin
Lian Xin", etc.
Hmm, guess that is about all for now? Quite a bit for you to
digest... 
Dreamz FM music = Satisfaction Guaranteed!!!
