Two-time Golden Melody Awards nominee Kowen returns with his sophomore effort Songs of the Bards—a 10-track English and Chinese-language album that documents his thoughts on this winding journey called life. On opening rock track “Man Without a Mission”, Kowen takes up his electric guitar for an exposition of his philosophy—to roam the world, reap the experiences and turn them into song. His soulful vocals and unique mix of folk and Brit rock brims with youthful vigour and a yearning to discover life’s meaning through music.
