This year, Wang Leehom (王力宏) held two of his 'Music-Man' concerts in Taipei's 'Little Giant Egg' Stadium. The success of it won the high praise of those present and the foreign media. After the applause died down, Leehom, who loves music very much, immediately threw himself into preparing for his new album. He didn't waste a single minute, and now, the much anticipated 'Heartbeat' (心.跳) will finally start it's pre-orders on December 12, and will be released on the 26th of December. All those who hear it will be touched by it's sincerity, hence it is definitely the most anticipated album this year.

Everyday, Leehom usually doesn't sleep more than 4 hours. In the day, he has non stop rehearsals, he has to film commercials, perform, and record the new songs in his album, then finally going back to composing music. The workers around him all says that 'Leehom goes to bed very early', because he usually only sleeps in the morning. The process of completing 'Heartbeat' was extremely complicated for Leehom, because in his life, the number of times he has been told 'I Love You' is a hundred thousand times more than any other commoner. In one concert alone, there would be thousands of people shouting 'Wang Leehom, I Love You", on the dance stage he gets lots of passions and warmth, because he is a shining international celebrity. To Leehom, the phrase 'I Love You' is something that you do not get easily. One glance, one time of gentleness, are reminiscent of heart beating, hence Leehom wrote the main song 'Heartbeat' to show his understanding towards love.

For his new album, 'Heartbeat', Leehom specially made a teaser for the album. Because of the name 'Heartbeat', the designers for the album managed to convince Leehom that showing the top part of his body, which is 'nearest to the heartbeat', would show the meaning behind this album. While shooting the pictures, Leehom was very professional and didn't care about the coldness of the winter, following every single direction the director gave him. This way he managed to showcase his best state, and his professional manner allowed the entire shooting process to be over in only 3 hours. Because he needs to show the top half of his body, to make his abs look good, Leehom brought along dumbbells. To thank his fans, the two different versions of the pre-orders is a 'Heartbeat Romantic Version - Wang Leehom', including gifts of a 'Heartbeat Silver Engraved Ring + Heartbeat Postcard'; the other version is 'Heartbeat Graphic Version - Wang Leehom', including a '2009 Photo Calendar + 2008 Photobook'. Do you want to collect the 'real' Wang Leehom? Then you musn't miss out on his new 2008 album 'Heartbeat'.
