Those unfamiliar with Kim-Lian probably do not belong to her target group, because the singer with bright red spines is extremely popular with viewers of children's channel Fox Kids. There she presents the Kids Top 20 every week, a hit list of music that is popular among the youth. Kim-Lian's music also fits well in this top 20, because her own songs are strongly reminiscent of, for example, Sita
… or Hilary Duff. This could already be heard on her first single Teenage Superstar, good for a top 10 rating, and her debut album Balance (2004) is also full of cheerful up-tempo guitar pop that the aforementioned ladies also make. The CD was produced in Sweden, where producers and studios determine almost the entire European and also American charts sound. Because of this Balance may not sound very original, but Kim-Lian will not worry about that. Her greatest wish is 'to be rich, famous and happy', and as far as the first two are concerned, she is on the right track with Balance. (IV)more
