Now in his 30s, Preab Sovath is a huge star in Cambodia and with the ex-pat communities in the US, Canada and Australia. His music is pop based but is full of Khmer flavours. There are similarities to Thai morlam, on some of the high energy rootsy tunes, although he is also adept at singing more orthodox ballads. Good CD to hear what young Cambodians are listening to.
