i like the little brother better

and the older brother looks too cool

wow it's so cool, they speak 7 languages fluently ! ^^
i've heard one of their songs, it's not bad

"Tsunami" - Soler is soo good. SOler consists of a twins and they cud speak / sing in 7 languages.!! Soler is AWesome.!!! XD

i love soler..i was tryna find some info on them but only found out they were twins and come from macau..anyone else know anything about them? they don't look full chinese to me...more like greek haha i dunno..but i love their songs..although ive only heard 2 of them....

Official Website of SOLER!!!!!!!

http://www.solermusic.com/

Its in chinese and engilsh

have fun!!!

well, haven't heard of them. Now that you mention, I'll be sure to try it out and see if it fits into what i like. Wow that's really impressive that they could speak/sing 7 different languages as said by freedomjustice. Wish I could do that!

Yep, they speak, canto, mando, english, spanish, italian, and portugese, and French

i always wanted to start a thread on soler but i never couldnt find much info on them so im glad someone else has hehe...i think soler are just amazing..heard two of their songs..and i cant believe how good they are...my gosh i love their style and this is exactly what the hk music industry needs

i like their current song. i heard a small part of it on Jade Solid Gold for the 1st time. lol i was so surprised to discover their languages skills ! they're fluent in 7 languages !

their new album is really great, very nice sound and totally different from ordinary hk music...keep up with the good work!

does anyone have any song they recommend from them? dont really know much about them..

I heard them sing on JSG and I didn't understand a single word they were saying. Was the song in different languages or in canto?

lol, i managed to understand it with the help of subtitles. It was in cantonese!

yeh i like one of their songs called hoi siu, sorry for the bad translation....

Aside from their song Tsunami, I like Lost Soul too. Not bad for a newcomer. Definitely worthy of listening to.

Well, ya see..I can't read chinese so the subtitles are useless to me. lol I thought it was in cantonese but i didn't understand much so I thought they mixed up some languages in there. lol

... they seem pretty talented. im surprise they can speak so many languages @.@ but yah... i like tsunami and lost soul too

I'd say they're very talented! I mean..7 languages fluently...and their music have this very special tune, its rock..but still it reminds me of another music style..but i can't tell which one...

btw, when were they born?

they r sooooooooo awesome!!! ive been repeating their cd over and over haha
cept they look old? does neone know how old they r?

i love tsunami by them ! aren't they italian twins or something o.O;; it's crazy how they can speak 7 languages .. their album is really good !

Macau?

Soler songs are nice to listen to. But I don't like the looks of Soler

I also dont really like their look but their music is really good.
also, paul @ beyond wrote the arrangements for some of their songs

i think tsunami is a good and solid song and although i'm not a fan of all their music, i believe it's good to have bands like soler coming up. the hk music industry traditionally lacks variety in my opinion, it doesn't offer many different musical styles, but some artists do have their own style and stand out, like these two guys.

I absolutely agree with you. HK music industry mostly have popsingers singing canto pop, just a few stands out, like Soler, Yumiko, Nic Tse, Beyond and F.I.R.(Taiwanese though).





Lol, yeah..but I ment WHEN How old are they?

i think soler has a pretty good voice. and if they keep this up they can possiblly reach the top soon. i think they sing great canto and english songs. they cd was pretty good.

They are great singers amd they have a good look. Really attractive and different from many other HK artist. However, since I only like Pop music, their style of singing isnt really for me.

no idea how old they are

I like they're music, it's very unique, and their cantonese, mandarin and english is flawless...

does neone happen to have their tsunami song and can post it? or any of their other songs? thanks!!! or if you know where to go, that would be great also.thnkya

Umm...lol?

I like Soler, I think they're promising. Maybe inject some rock into current HK music.

i like soler!! they r pretti talented and has gone through some tough time to get to this stage... if u read the site... u can c some history about them.. =P their father is italian and their mother is burmese... and i think they chose the name soler as a dedication to their mother...

yea... lost soul is a very good song =P their voice is pretti good too... n no doubt their appearance ^.^ the hk media alwayz compare their appearance with keanu reeves =P but i think they need more promotions...

I heard their song on the radio, can't remember the title tho'. But it's a very nice song. Very impressive duo, Italian+Burmese but can sing in Chinese too.

soler are a very nice u and coming band...
heard them when i was in HK.. reminded me of like FIR when the hit HK... its something new.. and not like most of the rubbish in the HK market...

I recommend Saat Wan (Track 1)... it is a really nice song. Their music is very different to HKPOP... more of POP Rock.

You might want to check out their official website. It contains music clips and other things.


Cheers!

thanks yeah i like track 1+2 the other tracks are "mahmah"

after reading their profiles.. i can now see the big. difference in their heights ^^;;

Last night Leo Ku held a concert inviting Justin Lo, Kary Ng, Soler, and Ivana Wong as the guests. When Leo was introducing Soler on stage, he described them as 'muscular' but he denied being jealous of them. Leo laughed and said, "I have my 'softness',they have their 'hardness'!"

Last night Leo sang his 10 minute song, 'Medley' and also sang other familiar songs. Leo said, "The fans sang along with me in every song, it feels very warm! Leo also sang Jacky Cheung and Aaron Kwok's hit songs. When singing Aaron's '唱這歌' he also imitated Aaron with his lifting foot movement, causing the whole crowd to applause.

During the encore moment, the DJ got the fans up close to the stage. The fans were pushing and shoving each other, causing the scene to be chaotic. Afterwards Leo was asked whether he was jealous that Soler had such strong muscles. He laughed, " I also have my 'muscles' (巨肌 gui gei) because my name is 'gui gei'. But all of us has our own good qualities."

The latest cool guys with talent in HK who can speak in various languages included cantonese, mandarin, english, spanish, french, italian, etc..

They know so many languages and they speak fluently in most of them! That is really amazing.

i reckon these bros are so talented!....n they can speak 7 laugnuages fulently wow! it's about time artists like these have entered the HK music industry....their music style is certaintly different! i downloaded their album a while ago and all the songs are awesome!
the fact that they're hot doesn't hurt either

these guys are cool, they bring a different kind of sound to the HK music industry i like track 1 失魂
track 2 海嘯 and track 7 孔雀與飛鷹


its says that they have burmese and italian origin, do burmese people speak chinese?

just wondering how they learn to speak mandarin and canto fluently

They said that they speak English at home but in Macau they have chinese friends so they end up talking to them in canto... I heard that in an interview...

Yesterday during noon, the 2005 Chik Chak Music Awards has revealed the top five nominees for 'Favorite Male, Female, and Group Singers'.

Top 5 for Male: Eason Chan, Hacken Lee, Leo Ku, Jan Lam, and Chet Lam
Top 5 for Female: Miriam Yeung, Joey Ying, Denise Hocc, Fiona Sit, and Janice
Top 5 for Group: Twins, Grasshoppers, at17, I Love You Boyz, and Soler

The artists were allowed to have their own votes afterwards and the results went to Miriam with 13 votes and Eason with 7 votes.

YAY!!! Soler in the Top 5 for group.

Did anyone see the Mandarin TVB8 awards? I don't understand how the second place group beat Soler... Soler are way better...

i really wana see their MVs, has anyone seen the video for saat wan.

their sound is so different to the usual HK pop so i can imagine them producing cool music videos not on a tight budget like that of hk music videos

I have seen it.. I have seen hoi siu and the third song of the album.

It was in a cd when I bought the album... Saat wan was so cool. I like their wet look. Hehe.

u sure that wasnt the video for hoi sui, i saw that video and they were doing the wet look in a pool.

i wana see saat wan mv

The Chik Chak Music Awards will be held on January 1, 2006 and yesterday they announced the last top five places for the three awards. Yesterday they were also taking promotional pictures with everyone.

'My Favorite Female Singer' top five includes: Joey Yung, Denise Hocc, Miriam Yeung, Fiona Sit, and Janice Vidal. In the promotional photos, Joey and Miriam are in the center, indicating that it is an intense fight between them two.

'My Favorite Male Singer' top five includes: Leo Ku, Hacken Lee, Jan Lam, Chet Lam, and Eason Chan. Out of all of them, Hacken is the most 'special'. He hasn't have a live concert and it was also rumored that he had disagreements with the company. This year being able to be in the top five really seems like the results will be 'reversed'.

The Favorite Group top five goes to Grasshoppers, Twins, at17, I Love You Boyz, and Soler.

Saat wan video is the fire video... I didn't see the hoi siu in the pool wor... Hmm.. maybe I saw the different video.

The first time i saw them on TV was when the artists were celebrating TVB's 38th birthday. They seem to sing really good in English. At first I thought they might be half asian or sumthin but it's so cool that they are not and that they can speak chinese so well. Better than most people i know.
