Until a couple of days ago, my habitual reading of entertainment news on the web has caught a series of articles about a new compilation album from a local songwriter and album producer 黄宏墨 and it's been quite some time since this person is active on the news as he has always been busy with his music school 十方乐廊”（Sifon Music) and its competition 《十方唱将国际流行音乐大赛》.
Yet something new seemed to be moving on the landscape as there is mention of three newly-minted local artistes whom he is grooming to be future stars...
Interestingly, he has even included these three young artistes in his latest album 《这一切都会过去》创作合辑 and being one of the entertainment bloggers in Singapore, I ran a check on the articles and found out that one of them, 黄业翔, is the elder brother of Renfred Ng (黄业伦), the male first-runner up for Campus Superstar Season One (Rings a bell in any reader's head?)
The other two female artistes 叶慧馨 and 黄秀莹 being groomed are relatively unknown in the singing and entertainment circle in Singapore but I do heard that the former seemed to have acted in a couple of MediaCorp Singapore's television serials as a child actor. I took the liberty to include their photos here from both www.xin.sg and www.mypaper.sg for the reading convenience of my blog readers. As per usual for disclaimers, I don't earn a single cent from my blogging so there's no monetary profit in for me.
From clockwise upper left hand corner, we have the experienced local song and music producer, Huang Hong Mo, followed by Huang Ye Xiang (黄业翔) , Alfred, followed by Ye Hui Xin (叶慧馨)and finally Huang Xiu Ying (黄秀莹) . The photo isn't very clear but there is a xin.sg article floating around on the Internet waves, which I have included at the bottom of my blog post for more reading convenience of my readers.
This picture shows 黄宏墨 on the guitar giving 黄业翔 some practice on his singing. I have seen Alfred in action before as a member of Soul from Superband competition but this seemed like a rare picture of him concentrating on singing rather than dancing? Interesting.
I am not very sure what these two ladies can do, be it singing or dancing or etc, but I suppose since they are handpicked by 黄宏墨 for the compilation album, they must be worth their salt in their respective area(s) of expertise. Well, they do look radiant and confident for this photograph, which at least shows they are not camera shy. This 叶慧馨 was quoted that her role model is Elva Hsiao (萧亚轩)while 黄秀莹's role model is Sandy Lam (林忆莲) . Those are hard targets to reach. Will be looking forward to see what they can do in the album once I get hold of it.
A pretty nice group shot of the album producer and these three upcoming young artistes. I put their names up on the search engines and it seems that they are having some local radio interviews as well as a roadshow:黄宏墨创作集2《这一切都会过去》发布会”
日期：11月8日（星期日）下午2点
出席歌手：黄宏墨、黄业翔、叶慧馨、黄秀莹
地点：兀兰区域图书馆（900 Woodlands Drive，#01-03，Woodlands Civic Centre）
I have not gotten hold of this compilation album from the CD shops yet so there is still no way to know about their vocal capabilities. Let's hope they can sing well and make their way to represent Singapore eventually on the world stage.

Soul成员黄业翔（Alfred）被本地创作才子黄宏墨相中，重新出发再战乐坛，但出片前却得先写一篇华文作文！
还记不记得06年，新传媒U频道歌唱实况比赛《非常Superband》的亚军得主Soul，那舞艺超凡的5位男生组合？黄业翔（Alfred）就是其中一位成员，他的弟弟黄业伦（Renfred）则是U频道歌唱比赛第一届《校园Superstar》男亚军。
22岁的黄业翔属于动感派歌手，黄宏墨却是本地朴实的音乐人兼歌手，两人怎会凑在一起呢？后者这次推出创作集珍藏合辑《这一切都会过去》，黄业翔还演唱了其中的两首歌曲，《这一切都会过去》和《梦中情缘》。
黄宏墨：惊讶本地还有这样的表演人才
二人接受新动网专访时，黄宏墨透露，他的公司“十方乐廊”（Sifon Music）今年4月举办了《十方唱将国际流行音乐大赛》，业翔勇夺冠军。
黄宏墨说：“他的舞台魅力和整体表现，简直是专业歌手的水准。初赛时，我就注意到他，很惊讶本地还有这样的表演人才，所以决定签下他成为公司旗下的第一位歌手。我很少看电视，不晓得他曾参加过《非常Superband》。”
他还说，业翔私下很害羞，可是一上台表演，仿佛是另一个人。业翔告诉记者：“我很喜欢掌声，在台上比在台下舒服自然。”
他坦言，之前从未接触过黄宏墨的作品，刚认识后者时，觉得他很严肃，相处久了，发现“黄老师”其实非常幽默。
黄业翔：中文不好，写作文是一大考验
《这一切都会过去》是黄宏墨为业翔量身定做的作品，创作前，他要求对方撰写一篇华文作品。业翔笑言：“这真的是一大考验，因为我的中文程度不好，老师的水平又那么高，所以写了一个星期，内容是为什么喜欢唱歌跳舞。”
黄宏墨表示，不是刻意刁难爱徒，而是希望透过文章，更加了解年轻人的想法。虽然业翔在合辑中只主唱两首歌，不过，黄宏墨指出，不久后将为他筹备个人专辑。
Soul成员Ishi突离世 导致Soul解散？
两年前，Soul的其中一位成员Ishi被发现死在车内，疑是自杀，谈起这件事，业翔告诉记者：“当时大家都很痛苦，我们有共同的兴趣和理想，他却这样走了。不过，我们其他4人从没有放弃过音乐！”
他解释，Soul的解散并不是Ishi的死亡所致，而是比赛结束后，大家各忙各的，比如，自己赛后必须服役，退伍后就到拉萨尔艺术学院音乐系就读4年课程，要两年后才毕业。虽然Soul不存在了，可是，他们还是保持联系，因为Ishi的离世，他们更珍惜之间的友情。
如今再战歌坛，可曾想过与弟弟黄业伦组成“兄弟档”，业翔笑着回答：“虽然我们都喜欢唱歌跳舞，却从没有这么想过！”
两位女新人叶慧馨和黄秀莹 歌声打动黄宏墨
除了黄业翔，黄宏墨也在《十方唱将国际流行音乐大赛》发掘了两把动人的歌声，她们就是18岁的叶慧馨和19岁的黄秀莹，还是学生的两人也在合辑中演唱了老师的创作。
第一次录歌，她们透露，非常紧张，很担心唱得不好，令黄宏墨失望。黄秀莹说：“我最喜欢的女歌手是林忆莲，觉得她的歌声和表演很值得我学习。”
至于叶慧馨，她学习的榜样是萧亚轩，“当然希望有天可以向她那样红，不过现在最重要是把歌唱好。”
黄宏墨创作集2《这一切都会过去》已在各大唱片行出售。
