You Deserve Better
Jason Zhang
4 stars
After his dance-heavy album Future Live (2018), Chinese singer Jason Zhang keeps things simple on his latest album You Deserve Better. Its minimal instrumentation and breezy ballads make for a soothing listen.
Its title track is a comforting ballad for the broken-hearted, reminding listeners that everyone really deserves better in a relationship. With lyrics by Singaporean lyricist Xiaohan and melody by Singaporean songwriter Eric Ng, the track is a balm for anyone who has experienced pain in love.
The rose-tinted Yesterday is filled with nostalgia and the carefree charms of one's student days, while Becoming Us bemoans innocence lost while striving for success. The lullaby-like Take A Look reminds one of love's sweetness, and details of beauty in everyday life.
