Rate : 3 out of 5 Stars
While the world wonders whether Taiwan boyband F4 will be relaunched as JVKV, the attendant release of the foursome's third album and a brandnew idol drama, band number Vanness Wu has been keeping busy.
After his decent debut solo outing, 2002's Body Will Sing, he maintained his visibility through a number of post-Meteor Garden idol drama, before making his crossover to the big screen with Star Runner(2003) and Dragon Squad (2005).
Last year, he collaborated with South Korean singer Kangta on Scandal, a well-received multilinguai urban album which further extended his reach to the K-Pop audience.
And now Wu's sophomore solo release, V.Dubb, is a rollicking ride into booty camp.
For the most part, the album features the production work and compositions of in-damand South Korean R&B producer Jae Chong.
Wu, who contributed lyrics for some songs and rap sequences, does a decent job here, re-affirming his status as possibly the only one in the F4 conhort who can confidently and competently carry a tune.
