Unavoidable 躲ä¸Âé (Pinyin: DuàBú Guò / Simplified Chinese: 躲ä¸Âè¿Â) is the second album by winner of Malaysian Idol 2, Daniel Lee Chee Hun, released on 13 June 2007, approximately 18 months since his self-titled debut album.
Production of this album is the result of a combination of works by local Malaysian song composers and producers, such as Li Nai Gang (æÂÂä¹ÂÃ¥ÂÂ), Zhang Jue Long (å¼ è§ÂéÂÂ), Danny One Li Ming (温åÂÂéÂÂ), Peng Xue Bin (å½Âå¦æÂÂ), Guan Qi Yuan (管å¯æºÂ) and Azlan Abu Hassan. Out of these six individuals, Danny himself is a local singer and appears alongside Danell in the MV for the song "Because of Love å ç²æÂÂæÂÂ", a remake of the former's own song of the same title, except that Daniel sang while Danny rapped.
Zhang Jue Long was responsible for writing one of Daniel's well-known hits, "I Love To See You Now ç¾å¨ï¼Âå¾Âæ³è¦Âä½ ", in his previous album. Guan Qi Yuan is one of the judges in the Malaysian version of Project Superstar (ç»Â对Superstar), a Mandarin singing talent search competition, known as the most critical of all 5 judges.
Daniel was said to have been under pressure during the production of this album, partly he had spent most of his time gap between this album and the previous one in other works, such as guest appearances in concerts and also the idol television drama, Sky æÂÂ空, produced and shown on Malaysian channel, 8TV 堫度空éÂÂ. This has caused him to worry quite a bit as to whether his singing skills had improved since then. Daniel himself confessed that he repeated recording of the songs numerous times before he himself was really satisfied, despite receiving the green light from those in charge of the recording.
The cover of the album displays Daniel in a 'yuppie' suit, a reflection of maturity of Daniel in his singing career, thus removing him from his sunny image displayed in his previous album, an indication that he is no longer a newbie in the entertainment industry.
Like his previous album, Unavoidable 躲ä¸Âé is a trilingual album consisting of 8 Mandarin songs, 1 English song and 1 Malay song. The order of the songs according to language is also the same; the English and Malay songs are the 9th and last songs respectively. As before, Daniel re-sings an existing English song and recorded one of the Malay songs he sang during his days in Malaysian Idol 2.
No. 1 hit song "Because of Love å ç²æÂÂæÂÂ" is a remake of Danny Wen Li Ming's song of the same title. Rap lyrics were added. Daniel sang the song while Danny rapped.
"Unavoidable 躲ä¸ÂéÂÂ" is a Mandarin cover song of "Only Human", the theme song for Japanese true story-television drama 1 Litre of Tears 1ãªãÂÂãÂÂã«ã®涠sung by Korean artist, K.
"Everytime" is an existing English song sung by British boy band, a1, in 1999.
"Angin Malam" is an existing Malay song sung by Indonesian singer, Broery Marantika. It is also one of the three songs sung by Daniel during the Grand Finale of Malaysian Idol 2 in 2005. Other two songs are "Heaven Knows" (by Rick Price and "Mimpi", both recorded in his first album.
Daniel produced MVs for the first two songs in this album, i.e. "Because of Love å ç²æÂÂæÂÂ" and "Love is Under The Sky". However, the MVs do not exactly come together with purchase of the album. Early grabbers are given a free VCD containing the MV for the song "Because of Love å ç²æÂÂæÂÂ" only. The MV for "Love is Under The Sky", on the other hand, is found in the celebration edition of this album.
