Notes:

The literal translation of the album name "太歌" is "too songs" (meaning: the most; the best; excessive; more songs, and best types of songs). Hu explains it as "太 好聽的 , " (literally: too good sounding of songs), means "songs that sound too good!!"

The English name of "太歌" is "Tiger." On January 19th, 2013, he officially launched his new label "Tiger Entertainment" and his same name album "Tiger."

As fans, we all know that he purposely chose such a title, "tài gē," since it sounds exactly like "Tiger." RAWR!

This album often makes reference to his performance and achievements on JiangSu TV's Celebrity Battle, check this page for his coverage on Celebrity Battle!





Introduction:

Year 2014 ★ Tiger Anson Hu is the "All-Round King of Songs."

In 2013, through his restless 3 months, he won champion on JiangSu TV's Celebrity Battle show and took home the new title, "All-Round King of Songs."

Hu says: Though I now have the title, we're not short of winners. Very soon, there will be a second and third person with that same title. I can't always participate in television programs and to live under the spotlight. I wish to return to my life, to continue writing my own songs, and to do my own thing. For singer-song writers, I am destined to be lonely, but in order to be successful, we must be able to endure this loneliness.

Hu had always wanted an opportunity to produce covers for classic singles within the industry, and Celebrity Battle had given him his opportunity. With each week, he would produce a new cover and receive immediate feedback from his audience.

Within the album, "Too Songs," song selection for this album are broken down into 3 parts:

Part 1
The first 4 songs were the most influential on the stages of Celebrity Battle.

Part 2
