» "Attending an unplanned party/ Never ready, didn't really wanna come/ Saying 'hello' to acquaintances/ Gotta be careful not to smile too much/ It just wouldn't be appropriate," without knowing the track's title, the opening verse of The Charapaabs' debut single, Sala Kon Sao (Funeral Party), reads like something of a typical introvert's diary. As the second verse arrives, it becomes clear that the aforementioned "party" is actually a funeral where "the host refrains from making an appearance" (worth noting a clever wordplay here -- ook long, literally "out of coffin", is used instead of ook rong, which is a Thai expression meaning to make an appearance).

» Almost two decades since the arrival of Tata Young, Thailand has yet to see another pop phenomenon who can truly match her accomplishments. Born Amita Marie Young to an American father and a Thai mother, Tata had her first taste of success at the tender age of 11 when she won the Nissan Awards Thailand Junior Singing Contest. It didn’t take long before she was noticed by the bigwigs at GMM Grammy, the country’s biggest record label and the force behind some of the most successful local artists including Thongchai “Bird” McIntyre and Christina Aguilar.
