Saung Oo Hlaing

When he came out brilliantly as a vocalist with "Your Hero-lover"album --- I even loved the commercial --- the long hair girl and a jeep --- fast, catchy, and romantic. I was one of those who went and bought that album first and listened really hard through day and night. "Min Ye" is the song from that album used for the commercial and it is my favorite song in that album. I anticipated so much for the second album --- but life changing events come up in my life ---I couldn't listen to new Burmese releases for quite a while.

When I hear his singing again --- it was in 19:18 and I was fallen in love with Burmese songs again. It was a really nice pairing with Alex and Sithu Lwin. The first song of that album was my favorite. Every winter break from college, driving back from the dorm to home on a long road trip; blasting that song right after the stressful finals are so memorable in my life.

He lived in Yankin and I was around Yankin a lot of time but we never come across. Our well known senior --- we even had the same tutor at college. I have heard a lot about him how much he is into music and all that. I am glad to see him doing what he loves the most.

His vocal is powerful at times. He has a unique voice but not very emotional. I love that fact that he is trying to have own tunes. He can write songs very well but not very playful --- most lyrics are very straight forward. His songs are very listenable but somehow he cannot seem to escape from his signature notes. I support him for his effort although I would not listen to his new songs repeatedly like the very first album or 19:18 album.

I enjoyed "Our Gita Yetwon" (I am not so sure the title) song for it's honesty. I think I watched his "20 years music journey" --- but do not remember much to comment on. Awww --- I also heard that he was coaching the girls' group (I am not too sure. I don't even remember which group --- I just remember that their vocals are sort of weak).

He is dark. He is thin. He loves keyboard. He almost always wear caps. He is tall. He must be kind too --- one can hear in his voice. I wonder what he is up to now?
