Brewing to savor

Hong Kong pop star Eason Chan will release his new Cantonese album, L.O.V.E, later this year. Dedicated to his band members, who toured with him during the Duo Eason Chan World Tour 2010-12, Chan invited the 13 band members, including drummer Jun Kung, guitarist Firman So, vocalist Cheung Kit-bong, to co-write and perform the 10 new songs of various styles with him, including All About Love, Sharing and Crazy Friends. It took Chan six years to complete the album, and to mark a full closure to the Duo Eason Chan World Tour, he will stage a concert along with the band, performing songs from the new album in Hong Kong. The concert date is yet to be announced.
