Following that, in early May 2012, Jan Hoffman was recruited as male lead singer/keyboardist, and the duet feel of both Jan and May's voices sounded like lock and key..

The band have recently has some changes with Aldrich going back to SwiftBladeZ, and Jan hoffman leaving to Germany soon..

2011 Band Line Up (Shixian)
In 2009, new songs were written by Calvin, with a change of musical direction to include more of May's voice, less instrumentation, Calvin decided to write some New Age Pop genre songs. A 2nd album was planned for, but not implemented until 2011, when Calvin decided to gather new band members for a Pop line up which was also for the purpose of performing covers.
The first lineup was during July 2011, with Evan Liao on acoustic guitars, Josh Ahola on cajons/drums, while Calvin played bass. In 31 July 2011, the band performed at Jurong Regional Library at the Song Share & Show Galore. Deborah, from the World Lineup, later joined in a video entry sent for 2011 Asianbeat competition, which didn't amount to anything, due to the band's lag of practice.

In September 2011, Evan decided to leave the band, as he was more interested in performing covers rather than originals. And Josh left too, since Josh Ahola belongs to Calvin's other band, 'SwiftBladeZ' and not really with ShiXian..
