Review by Samanta Snidaro

Alright, let’s dive into this blast from the past. The album 不得了 by 蔡琳 (Cai Lin) is one of those hidden gems that just sneaks up on you. Released way back in 1970 in Singapore under the label 高峰 (Peak Record), it's got this raw, unfiltered vibe that feels like flipping through an old photo album. The genre? Straight-up pop, but with a twist that screams ‘70s nostalgia. And shoutout to the backing band, 高峯電子吉他樂隊, for laying down some serious grooves. Now, onto the tracks. I gotta say, “不得了” hits different. Like, you press play and BAM—it grabs you by the ears. The melody’s catchy as heck, and Cai Lin’s voice has this quirky charm that makes you wanna sing along even if you don’t know the words. It’s not perfect, but that’s kinda why I love it. Feels real, ya know? Like someone just poured their heart out without overthinking it. Then there’s “我興珈琲.” Man, this track is weirdly unforgettable. Maybe it’s because coffee songs are rare, or maybe it’s how chill it sounds compared to the rest of the album. Either way, it sticks with you. There’s something about the laid-back rhythm and those little guitar riffs that make me picture sitting in a retro diner sipping kopi-o while life buzzes around you. Not what you’d expect from a pop record, right? Oh, and can we talk about how wild it is that this came out in 1970? Like, imagine the world back then—no Spotify, no fancy studios, just pure creativity making its way onto vinyl. You can almost hear the effort in every note. It’s messy, sure, but isn’t that what makes it special? Honestly, listening to 不得了 feels like finding an old postcard in your grandma’s attic. It’s not gonna change your life, but it gives you a peek into another time and place. Plus, who wouldn’t want to brag about discovering a Singaporean pop classic from the ‘70s? End of the day, it’s proof that good music doesn’t need all the bells and whistles to stick around. Pretty cool, huh?
