Hello Goodbye (David Tao album)

Hello Goodbye is the sixth studio album by Taiwanese R&B singer-songwriter David Tao, released on January 25, 2013, by Seed Music. The album marked a significant return for Tao after a period of relative quiet in terms of full-length releases. Hello Goodbye explores themes of love, loss, and acceptance, reflecting on Tao's personal experiences and observations.

The album features a mix of R&B ballads and more upbeat, pop-infused tracks, showcasing Tao's signature vocal style and songwriting prowess. Tracks like "一念之間" (Yi Nian Zhi Jian, "Between a Thought") and "好好說再見" (Hao Hao Shuo Zai Jian, "Say Goodbye Properly"), which features Tanya Chua, were particularly well-received.

While the album maintained Tao's reputation as a leading figure in Mandopop, it received mixed reviews. Some critics praised its musicality and emotional depth, while others felt it didn't reach the same innovative heights as his earlier work. Nevertheless, Hello Goodbye was commercially successful and solidified David Tao's continued presence in the Mandopop scene.
