Expert Show (Chinese: 達人Show) is Taiwanese Mandopop artist Show Lo's second Mandarin studio album. It was released on 22 October 2004 by Avex Taiwan.[1] A second collectible edition, Expert Show (Collectible Edition) (達人Show 影音珍藏版) (CD+VCD) was released on 25 November 2004 with a bonus VCD containing four music videos.

The album features collaborations with Dee Shu (aka Xiao S) and Taiwanese boy band Energy and the music video for "小丑魚" (Clown Fish) features Rainie Yang. It also contains two songs composed by Show and the ending theme song of Taiwanese drama Outsider II (鬥魚2), starring Show.

Album

[edit]

Following Show Lo's J-hip hop debut album Show Time, he broadened the 'hip hop culture' with an Eastern European style. In this he continues his partnership with producers Golden Melody Award winner and songwriter Di Zi (Chinese: 阿弟仔), Bi Guoyong (Chinese: 畢國勇) and Guo Jianliang (Chinese: 郭建良); plus Chen Zihong (Chinese: 陳子鴻)[1] as well as choreographer Tommy (Chinese: 大目) of Dance Soul studios.

  • The first lead track, "機器娃娃" (Robotic Doll), is a hip hop number about the prevalence of electronic pets and on-line relationships.[1]
  • The other lead track, "戀愛達人" (Love Expert), is a mid-tempo R&B duet with Dee Shu, that talks about a couple's interaction with each other in their love of fun. It is a cover of "I Believe" by German R&B group Bro'Sis. The music video was directed by Golden Melody Award winner Kuang Sheng (Chinese: 鄺盛). It features Luo and Hsu, who play a couple who wanting a night out separate from each other, goes clubbing but bumps into each other thereby starting a game of who's-got-the-upper-hand.[2]
  • "灰色空間" (Grey Dimension) is the ending theme song of Taiwanese drama Outsider II (鬥魚), starring Luo. It is a cover of power ballad '사랑하면 할수록' Sarang hamyon hal soorok (If we are in love, then...) the theme song of Korean movie The Classic.
  • The music video for "小丑魚" (Clown Fish) features Taiwanese artist Rainie Yang.
  • The track and music video for "一起走吧" (Let's Go) features Taiwanese boy band Energy.
  • The tracks "給你管" (Serves You Right) and "剌青" (Tattoo) were composed by Show.
