Half a month later, the long-anticipated solo album by Hannah Winter was officially released.
The album contained two songs, both written and composed by James Landon alone.
Contrary to what netizens had guessed, the style of the songs wasn't the saccharine love ballads suited to Hannah's sweet voice, but more challenging lyrical songs instead.
The melody flowed gracefully, like a valley still drizzled with rain, telling a story eloquently.
A mermaid who had strayed into the human world, with her fish tail turned into legs, was as stunning as the peaches and plums in storybooks, with beauty beyond compare, yet, paradoxically, she possessed a pair of pure, clear, glass-like eyes, filled with naïveté towards the human world.
