"Fancy Free," Sun

[CLEM]

For her debut American album, Cause A Ruckus, Sun worked with a team of A-list producers including Rodney Jerkins (Beyonce, Brandy and Mary J. Blige), Danja (Justin Timberlake, Madonna and Nelly Furtado) and Rob Knox (Britney Spears and Ciara) to achieve a sound she describes as "dance music with a rock edge and a little bit of the Asia touch."

Sun's first single off of Cause A Ruckus is "Fancy Free" produced by Chuck Harmony (Ne-Yo). Sun says about "Fancy Free," "Fancy Free" is my life philosophy in a nutshell. I'm a strong advocate of loving yourself and your dreams... No matter what others say or feel. There is such a positive energy in the song and lyric that I connect with completely. The message I want to convey is simple: No one is perfect and great dreams are achieved by ordinary people who believe in their individual beauty and uniqueness!" The video for "Fancy Free," was directed by award winning director Joseph Kahn (U2, Enimen, Britney Spears and Mariah Carey).

"You Stupid," produced by Danja, gave Sun a chance to perform a tongue-in-cheek kiss-off ditty that reminds her of her favorite songs by Gwen Stefani. "This song is for every girl with lousy boyfriends!" she says, giggling. "It's a song to tell those guys, 'You're stupid! You didn't treasure me. You didn't appreciate me.'" And the Rodney Jerkins-produced "Garage," she says, "just makes me want to dance."

Yay, asian power. She's probably going to flop though.

I like this.

This is not her first time trying in the U.S. Remember that hot mess of a song that was called "China Wine" where she looked like an Asian video ho in the music video? It did nothing, but there was no promotion and whatnot.

Sun has been pretty successful in the clubs. She has had several number ones on the Club Play chart.

#1 on the Dance Chart.

I wonder how long it's going to be until an Asian artist actually makes it at Pop? So many seem to be trying lately, but nobody's connected as of yet.

As bad as it sounds, I think they need to conform more. As much as I love her, Utada doesn't sound like a big artist. I'm sure alot of people have to idea how to start to pronounce it. An artist named Sun probably doesn't help either. Then BoA is a strange name, and she barely spoke english well. As sad as it is, if any break through they'll have to be doing Gaga or Beyonce knock offs.
