Like a female version of Wu Bai, Shino has finally collaborated with the man himself in this new album.  It features different types of rock such as slow rock, British rock, retro rock, funky rock and er.... happy rock (this latter term being suggested by Shino's production team for referring to rock tracks which cannot be described by the afore-mentioned types).

The album is produced by, among others, her mentor Li Shi Xian, Jim Lee and Wu Xu Wen.  The first single aims to reinstate Shino's position as the Live Queen of Taiwan : "Wake Up" is a high-power rock track which is just right for getting a live audience into action.

Shino also recorded her very first Cantonese track here, titled "Doll Loves The World".

As a result, Rock Records has grouped the three music guys together and called them collectively as Homeless (or Liu Lang Han).  This is essentially a compilation release which feature three new recordings and showcase their past works.  Refer below for the full song listing in Big 5 Chinese.

The first single cum new track "Wave By Wave" is sung by all three of them and is the main theme-song for "Summer Holiday".  The supporting theme-song "You Are Willing, I Am Willing" is the second new track sung and written by Richie Ren.  The third new track is a Hokkien piece by A Niu called "Shui Cha Mou" (pronounced in Hokkien as Sui Za Bo, meaning beautiful girl).  This latter track has already been included in A Niu's recent Hokkien release "We Are People In Our Family".

Half of the album (five songs to be exact) is produced by her mentor Jonathan Lee while the rest is helmed by fellow Malaysian colleague Guang Liang and music arranger Li Zheng Fan.

The first single cum title track "Courage" is a Malaysian piece, composed by Guang Liang and written by Rei Ye.  It is also the main theme-song for a high-profile new Taiwanese TV period serial "Xia Nu Chuang Tian Guan" starring Nicky Wu Qi Long and "Xiao Yan Zi" Zhao Wei.

Other song-writers contributing to this album include Tanya, Pan Xie Qing, Chen Xiao Xia, Chen Guan Qian and Yuan Wei Ren.

The two members reportedly consist of a radio DJ (called DJ Super) and an owner of a Taiwan shop (called by the name Lao Deng).  They are also the very first group in Taiwan music showbiz to be portrayed as comic characters (think Harlem Yu's Ha Bao Bao).  The pictures are drawn by a high-profile Taiwan variety show producer Zhan Ren Xiong (side-note : Zhan attracted a media blitz earlier this year when he was reported as the third party in the now-defunct relationship between Jacky Wu Zhong Xian and TV presenter Chen Xiao Xuan).
