Just checked out Matchbox Twenty's website and realized they have their new compilation , EP is already on record store! Yahoo, more Matchbox Twenty! Usually I don't have any particular likings to any group but somehow a few artistes in the industry actually changed my point of view.

The first one of course is Matchbox Twenty. Started off as a humble group with hits like Push, 3 AM & Real World, Rob Thomas went over with Santana to produce Smooth. Rob remained humble with the band and continue to churn up two more albums. Still I liked their songs, they are meaningful and they are full of words that could actually make you think about them.

The second I've been following is Michelle Branch (or here). She gather a lot of mature fans over her age. Personally she wrote all of her own songs and she can really bring all the tunes and meanings together in her song. Nothing much can be said on words, just that her songs are worth to listen to.

And the third and last, I have no qualms on selecting the Eastern songs, I would say it's Do As Infinity. A team of three, with lead singer Van Tomiko with instrumental player Ryo Otawari and the head/composer/producer, Dai Nagao. It was said that the whole band's name DAI was derived from Nagao's name. Do As Infinity comes out as a genre-less band, that means, they could be playing rock, pop, jazz, etc which makes the band so unique. Last I heard, there's a Taiwan band F.I.R which is following their footsteps.
