Tai Shan , Meet in the Middle Review 1

Finding inspiration in literary characters and using that to build strong storylines with sheer ingenuities is what classically trained, jazz-infused, singer-songwriter, and guitarist Tai Shan brings with a new sophistication to the pop-folk genre. Meet in the Middle is the latest project that finds Shan’s unique blend of storytelling with catchy melodies. Her manner of delivery and ability with lyrics, combined with her phrasing delivery, offers a natural uncontrived performance of twelve songs, ten of which are originals and two covers. The music moves through many styles and emotions, many focusing on female narratives and strong female characters. The imagery and language she uses will allow you to appreciate the poet in her bones. Shan’s voice and artistry flow freely from the heart first, but what is most striking is the timelessness to her melodies, which have strong hooks, and are very catchy. That’s the short of it!

Positives:

Delightful singer, composer, and songwriter. Shan has 50+ songs inspired by works of literature. Her catchy, layered melodies will keep you entertained, as her lyrics stimulate your mind and emotions.

Bottom Line:

Tai Shan is a talented singer-songwriter that offers a fresh sound in the pop-folk genre, keenly different and refreshing. The listener will appreciate the clever lyrics combined with Shan’s beautiful voice and excellent musical accompaniment. Its been quite sometime since I have heard songs this well penned. Highly recommended.
