I hear he has a new CD out but I'm not sure if I'm going to like it.  I really love his old stuff but lately he's just getting too cutesy.

My favorite album of his is Black Tangerine 黑色柳丁 which has some great tracks and really creative rhythm.  I really haven't heard many artists like him, in Asia or US for that matter.

Here are some links to a few of his songs on Youtube Karoke style ;)

黑色柳丁

 

Melody - beautiful song about a heatbreak of his

Got a new favorite.  I really didn't like this album it's from at first, but this one is definitely a keeper!

似曾相識  - And if someone can think of a better translation of this then, "resemble an old aquantaince" please let me know ;)

I just stumbled upon David Tao last week while looking for something else.  I thought he looked very hansome so I was thinking...let's hear him.  So I listened to a small clip on my iTunes and bought the only two albums they had available. 

I was hooked instantly with the first sound from his mouth.  He has an incredible voice and the songs, even though I do not understand the words, yet....I understand the emotions he displays very well.  You can feel the song, the words I believe would just add even more once I understand them all.

So yes...I consider myself a David Tao fan.  Wish I had known about him long before now.  Thank you all for the links.  :o)

Cassielin thanks for those links!  I've always liked his videos too... very simple and yet moving.  I've seen the video of his live performance of 'Love is Simple' before... it's just awesome!  He always sounds good live, even when he's on talk shows and such.

I still prefer his rock songs and creative beats to the more mainstream songs he has now.  That song he did with Jo Lin '今天你要嫁給我' kinda makes me cringe.

I really have to thank you Cassielin for putting me on to that song 愛很簡單。。。I love it!

I think one of the best parts of the song is the most simple, but shows the beauty of the Chinese language.

“不可能更快樂。。。

只要能在一起。。。

做什麽都可以。”

No sloppy pronouns to get in the way of the meaning. I gotta learn this for my next KTV outting! ;)

Just curious, how come his name is written as 陶吉吉 instead of 陶喆 in some Karaoke machines and in Channel V?

Wonglungsek,

I was told it's just a cute way of breaking up the character 喆 into its two components.  But that's just word of mouth.  I do find most KTV places and online use 陶吉吉

Aliyah, you're welcome!  That's the same feeling I get from his music... well... except for the handsome part. ;)

Daisyyum, I like LeeHom too, he has a great voice.  Him and David Tao actually did a great duet together live to "More than words"  you can find it on youtube here:
