It has been more than five long years since Jacky Cheung released a Cantonese studio album (his last, Life Is Like A Dream, was in 2004). So, Private Corner is highly anticipated - but instead of churning out more of the Canto pop that's peppered his career, he has steered onto a different musical path: Jazz.
And guess what - he's great at it. But then again, Jacky has always been able to deliver the goods no matter what he's singing, whether it's the swaggering Everyday Is Christmas, the neo-swing of Double Trouble, the smooth Let It Go, or the ballad 12 Tones. Ever the chameleon, jazz crooner Jacky could win over an entirely new audience demographic - and make him withstand the test of the ever-fickle Chinese pop scene.
