The contest will be running for four weeks, starting from 1 November 2011. I've already taken part so don't wait! :)





In today's fast paced environment, everyone is so busy with work and barely have time to pursue our interest. However, there is still an increased number of home-grown talents who find time to take part in the recent Eco Music challenge 2011 which is in for the second season. Only 13 finalists were selected and a compilation of their songs were made into the CD called "Eco Music Challenge Season 2".


Thanks NEA for this complimentary copy of the album for reviewing purpose


Music is very therapeutic. When people are often so busy it's easier to use music to send out messages and to remind people that our actions can ultimately affect the environment we lived in. That is why the lyrics of the songs in the albums are all on the clean and green topic and inspire people to work together for a clean and green Singapore. There is an interesting mixture of genres such as Rock and Roll, Pop, Jazz, Country Folk and Punk Rock.  


My personal favourite tracks on the album include the winning song which is track 03. World Without Fences by Lee Fengheng for it a very soothing song to hear over and over again, track 06. 早安你好!by Darren Lee and Yap Rei Horng is a very relaxing, feel-good song and track 12. Set Her Free by Judah Lyne makes me want to dance! Basically, all the songs in the album are GREAT! 


The track 02. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle by Jason Hui leaves the deepest impression in my mind. It emphasize on the 3Rs that we are so familiar with: "REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE your thing one way you can and turn off your light, turn off your tap and turn off your air-con when you are not in the room!" 


Track 05. Love for planet Earth by Julian Kwok is on an interesting perception from an astronaut. "Spaceship to base, do you read me loud and clear. Cos it looks like we've got a problem. Fading away is our home of green and blue. Mayday, mayday what we need is LOVE for Planet Earth."  


This CD also features two bonus track: track 14. Clean and Green by Toh Yi Fan (Eco Music Challenge 2011 Young Musician Award winner) and track 15. 拯救世界 by Shawn Tok   (Campus Superstar 2007 Champion). While Clean and Green is a rap style song with a catchy beat, 拯救世界 is more of a rock music style.   




So still curious with the songs? Do get a copy of the CD today! It's very much worth the cost. Or visit their website for either the online album or per song download. All proceeds from the sale of the CD will goes to the Nature Society (Singapore) to support the appreciation and study of nature at Semakau Landfill and Pulau Semakau (the place where all our rubbish goes to).
