"Jade Butterfly" had generated tons of debates and critiques focusing on Nic's music and his personality. Besides writing songs alone, Nic started to work on his music together with those famous music production musicians, and bands from Japan (Sugizo, Shinya, Sheena Ringo) Hong Kong and China respectively. NONE of the eleven songs in this album shared a similarity with those normal pop singers' plugged music. Instead, the whole "Jade Butterfly" album simply sounded like an underground band production, while the artist was trying to yell out and express the anti-society emotion through music.
Songs Recommended are Velvet Dragon (Track 2) which's inspired by Metallica but then Nic choose collaborating with Beijing Philarmonic Orchestra for this Brilliant HARD ROCK song, Today Is Ur Bday (Track 3) which is written by J-Rock Guitarist Sugizo, Unchaotic Sky (Track 4), and Circus In The Dark (Track 8), which is wickedly dark and sounds gothic.
The song "Velvet Dragon" is composed by Nic, it is the best of Nic's best songs. Love it. And "Jade Butterfly" is so classic, so beautiful. This album is not to be missed.
