A few days ago on Weibo to share C Allstar's "Thin Love Song", the lyrics have a sentence I like, "the more and the song plant love", yy with a harmonic stem, from the perspective of the lyricist to make an analogy, describing the cruel fact that Cantonese songs have been forgotten and replaced. These seem to have been signs of a few years ago, and the promotion and dissemination of Cantonese songs also faces a series of embarrassing and constantly "marginalized" dilemmas.
But if you're still listening to Cantonese songs, or paying attention to the singer's new Cantonese works in recent years, you must agree with these words:
"Times change, people and landscapes change
We are heroic but we have not lost before
Manifesting as usual in suffering has not changed."
This is a lyric in Siu Zhengnan's "Giant Wheel", which is also in line with the insistence of current Hong Kong singers and Cantonese fans.
Of course, more people may be familiar with another lyric, which comes from Eason Chan's "My Happy Times": "Sing the happiest song at no cost / May I be able to".
2020, with the pandemic on the horizon, anxiety and insecurity, and still social unrest, is more difficult than ever. But this year, thousands of Cantonese songs, hundreds of singers are not absent, they have launched this year's high-quality Cantonese works, "sing the happiest song at no cost", Cantonese regional singers still use their way to interpret the style of Cantonese songs.
These, if summed up in one sentence, I think: Cantonese songs under the turbulent flow, impermanence and vigorous dance.
Following the inventory of cantonese albums, this is the annual inventory of "My Favorite Cantonese Singles of 2020", still according to a unit musician (individual/group) song, doing this year's favorite Annual Cantonese Single Top100 (with another Supreme Song).
These songs include works based on social and people's livelihood themes, cone dramas condensed from emotional details, Cantonese songs that pay tribute to the Golden Age, and breakthrough attempts derived from a variety of genres...
Of course, I also face the trade-off between many singers who have multiple songs and good songs in the same year, such as Dear Jane, Lin Jiaqian, Feng Yunqian, Xu Tingheng, Yong'er, Chen Jian'an, Liang Zhaofeng, Chen Lei, etc., but I try to make my recommendation after listening to songs in 2020 according to my heart.
Here are the songs in reverse order:

Of course, these songs include some high-scoring answer sheets handed over by singer-songwriters such as Li Shiyi and Lin Cong.
Compared with the ten songs of 91-100, the 81st-90th place of my favorite Cantonese song in 2020 is often more popular, but the singer's singing, including the creation and presentation of the work, can be better. The set expectations for them will keep me waiting and seeing their next work.
But in any case, these songs are worth paying attention to and listening to in the Hong Kong music scene in 2020.

In addition, there are two new talents from the "National Star-Making" official debut Jiang Tao and Chen Zhuoxian, who have begun to emerge as emerging forces. Under the situation that Cantonese songs are experiencing the decline and degradation of Songs, the younger generation of idols has also shouldered the burden of promoting and promoting Cantonese songs, attracting more young people to pay attention to Cantonese songs.
Of course, there are also iii who collide with many ways to play in music, He Yanshi who gradually finds a clear positioning in his own song world, Li Xiaoyang who delivers works soaked in humanistic thinking, and Lin Xintong, whose songs are very attractive this year...

In recent years, Hong Kong has no shortage of high-quality drama songs, and there are also very good singer-songwriters active in the current music scene.
For example, JC, since the fire of "Scatter and Scatter", once again sent his own signal to the music scene as a singer-songwriter; for example, Wu Linfeng, on the one hand, tailored good creations for other musicians, on the other hand, he brought his own high-quality works; or J.Arie, who changed his name from Lei Chenyu to Lei Shenru, is quite active in front of and behind the stage. In addition, in these ten songs, "Save Love" sung by Dawn, Siri in the lyrics column has a more familiar name Serrini.
Of course, there are also newcomerS R.O.O.T.'s "There Is Love in the World", one promise's "Lonely Monster", they are singers and composers.

Among the ten works of 51-60, there are drama theme songs worth listening to, high-quality touching works in difficult situations, limited propositions, and works that appropriately extend the emotions of innocence, love, and the past.
Between mainstream pop and independent personality, it is difficult for many songs to have a very balanced definition standard. But some songs have healed many of us in 2020.
50 Guan Zhibin's "Tentative"
Lyrics: Lin Ruoning; Music: KW Zhu Minxi; Arrangement: Cousin Fung; Producer: Tim/Liao Zhihua]
Recommendation: The songs of Paitai in 2020 can clearly feel Guan Zhibin's intention to change from an idol faction to a powerful faction - the continuous progress in singing, the increasing proficiency in emotion, and the tailoring of musicians according to his positioning, these are worthy of recognition. This song selected as the seventh of the 2020 Professional Top Ten "Tentative", is Kenny's best one this year, Lin Ruoning cut from the emotional perspective, from the "tentative" to create a Bin-style love song, Guan Zhibin's singing is very moving.
49 Zhou Baihao, "The Rest of His Life"
[Lyrics: Chen Yongqian; Music: Xu Jizong; Arrangement: Zhou Xihan / Huang Zhaoming; Executive Producer: Zhou Xihan]
Testimonials: Chow Pak Ho's only Cantonese single released in 2020. The combination of Chen Yongqian and Xu Jizong, sung by Chow Pak Ho, is the theme song of the Xingmeng family, but it reminds people of the familiar texture of Pakho's past works. And the easy K of the song, as a drama OST, has a sense of popularity and picture, and it is worth listening to.
48 Wu Yekun's "Primitive Mindset"
[Lyrics: Chen Yongqian; Music, Arrangement: Huang Siyan; Producer: Shu Wen]
Recommendation: Chen Yongqian's favorite song in last year's filler works is also the first work of Wu Yekun to join the new company. The "primitive mentality" of simplifying complexity, the integration of Vocal and songwriting is very high, especially the emotional release of chorus, Wu Yekun also handed over a masterpiece that can soothe emotions.
47 Swimmer "All The Lost Things"
[Lyrics: Zhou Yaohui; Music, Producer: Xu Hao; Arrangement: Xu Hao/ Huang Zhaoming]
Recommendation: After "Ditch Swimming", this song released since the end of the year", "All the Lost Things", has more practical significance in this year, expressing the touch of strength and feeling from the pessimistic mood of the New Year, and the musicality is also just right. Swimmer can really sing, and the influx of more concepts has also allowed her to deliver high scores in the balance of musicality and artistry. Behind this song "All The Lost Things", it is actually the "learning to forget" that the lyricist and singer want to share with everyone.

[Lyrics: Andy Lau; Music: Xu Jizong; Arrangement: Adam Lee; Executive Producer: Chen Dejian]

45 Nicholas Tse," "Kindness"
[Lyrics: Qiao Xing; Music: Nicholas Tse; Arrangement: Chen Zilong; Executive Producer: Tse Ting-feng / Chen Zilong]
Recommended: 2020 is a year of high-frequency business for Nicholas Tse, with several variety shows, long-lost online concerts, and Chinese and new Songs in Cantonese to meet with everyone. This song "Kindness" is still familiar to the team, and in the year of the epidemic, "kindness" is equally precious.
44 Miriam Yeung, "Now is the Last Will"
[Lyrics and music: Sunny; Arranger, Producer: Wang Shuangjun]
Recommendation: The composition and arrangement ideas are in line with "Hot Blood Youth", and can even be seen as a 2.0 chapter, and it can be fully expected that this song will be very explosive at the concert. But as the only Cantonese song answer sheet handed over by Miriam Yeung in 2020, this song is still a wish for life, telling everyone to live well in the present. The songwriter was arranged by Sunny, and Chimi, who once again became the "mother of rock and roll", had a strong sense of rhythm that made people feel good.
43 Xue Kaiqi,"The Prince of Nanchang Street"
[Lyrics: Huang Weiwen; Music: Lin Jiaqian; Arrangement: He Bingshun; Producer: Shu Wen]
Recommended words: Returning to Warner's Fiona, regaining the girlish feeling, becoming a princess again, and also bringing a work of girlish love songs. The song was composed by Huang Weiwen and Lin Jiaqian, and the princess finally stepped off the "pumpkin cart" at the end, harvested simple happiness in Fan Chen, and met the "Prince of Nanchang Street" she loved.
42 Liang Yongqi,"100-story home"
Lyrics: Lin Ruoning; Music: Eye Fung; Arrangement: Zhang Zijian; Producer: Eric Kwok]
Recommendation: Telling fairy tales with a warm voice, this song "100-story Home" has a sense of entry into the world, and the intriguing nature will increase with the number of times the song is played in a loop. Lin Ruoning's capture of life and Liang Yongqi's interpretation of life with her songs have achieved the moving fluidity of this song "100-story Home".
41 per se Infinity
Lyrics: Sandy lp; Music, Arrangement: per se; Executive Producer: Xie Guowei/Stephen Mok]
Recommended words: From the fairy tale "The Story of the Fisherman and the Goldfish", the key words of creative feelings and directly point to human nature and greed. Spirituality is always reflected in per se's work, and the gushing creativity and their unique recognition have attracted more and more listeners.
40 Eric kwok《Ripboy》
Lyrics: Lin Ruoning/Eric Kwok; Music, Producer: Eric Kwok; Arrangement: Zhang Zijian/Eric Kwok]
Recommended: Recommending the single again after a gap of six years, "Ripboy" shows the playfulness of Eric kwok. Taking skiing as the theme, combining hobbies and creations, shooting MVs in the ice and snow also conveys the attitude of "wanting Chok and wanting to be type".
39 Zheng Zhongji , "My Only One"
Lyrics: Xiaoxue; Music: Sebastian Obando Giraldo/Andres Munera/Fernando Tobon; Arrangement: Odin Yu]
Recommended: Adapted from the work of Colombian singer Sebastian Yatra, this "My Only One" is the theme song of "Warm Boy Daddy", sung by Zheng Zhongji. From the warm magnetic voice, emotion and technology are seamlessly connected, and the family and love are placed in the song scene, which is extremely touching.
38 Hu Hongjun ,Are You Happy?
[Lyrics: Chen Yaosen; Music, Arrangement, Producer: Su Daozhe]
Recommended: The 2020 new album is the title of the same name, and it is also the first time that Hu Hongjun has directed the MV. This is a love song that is slow and hot and emotional, especially see the progress of Hu Hongjun's singing skills in recent years. With more dominance, the song and even the album are more complete than ever.
37 Wei Lan "Half a Degree"
[Lyrics: Zhou Yaohui; Music: Su Daozhe / Shu Wen; Arrangement: Ted Lo / Su Daozhe; Executive Producer: Shu Wen]
Recommendation: Janice, who incarnated as "JazzLand", not only continued to explore the diversity of music, but also had a deep reflection of the singing advantages in this song, and the same surprise in the sound. The relaxation of the Chill wind, the rich layers of jazz orchestra atmosphere are blessed, and the technical treatment of the embellishment becomes the embellishment of the song. "Low Half Degree" is also the most worth listening to in Wei Lan's 2020 songs.
36 Mai Junlong, "I am waiting for you in Cher Nobel"
[Lyrics: Huang Weiwen; Music: BERT; Arrangement: Huang Zhaoming; Executive Producer: Mai Junlong/BERT]
Recommendation: The musical works completed with the idea of film creation also allow the image sense and picture sense of "I am CherNobel waiting for you" to be inherited, and the independence of the song is maintained under the connection between the present and the future. The key word of this song is still "love", with the piano as the main axis, the vocals and instrumental music are integrated, which is a mournful and poignant emotion, and also truly introduces people into the scene.
35 ILOB "Wonderful Things Keep Happening"
[Lyrics: Ai Grain; Music, Arrangement, Producer: He Zhaoji]
Recommendation: The epidemic can change lives, and wonderful things happen continuously. Among the many derivative creations of themes during the epidemic period, the humor, vividness and brainwashing of Ai Grain's "Wonderful Things Continue to Exist" have all extended a kind of power to cheer up real life.
34 Liang Zhaofeng, "Mr. Laughing Haha"
[Lyrics: Huang Weiwen; Music: Xu Peixin; Arrangement: Jerald; Producer: Mai Junlong]
Recommended words: Huang Weiwen composed lyrics, Xu Peixin composed, Mai Junlong made supervision for other singers for the first time, and also helped Liang Zhaofeng's new songs to the greatest extent from the emotional and technical levels. Of course, you can also hear the obvious change in Zhao Feng's singing voice, which is an outstanding solo work.
33 Xu Jingyun and Lin Yikuang, "Don't Be Good for Me (I'm Not Good Version)"
Lyrics: Zhang Chuqiao; Music: Lin Yikuang; Arrangement: Zhang Zijian; Executive Producer: Eric Kwok]
Recommendation: Compared with the solo version, the chorus version launched by Xu Jingyun and composer Lin Yikuang is more layered, and the duet between the two also produces a rare sense of staggering, which adds a lot of points from the picture, mood and emotion.
32 Li Keqin's Grimm's Fairy Tales
[Lyrics: Lin Ruoning; Music: Xu Peixin / Feng Hanming; Arranger, Producer: Feng Hanming]
Recommended: The lyrics are dense and the difficulty is high, but it is still interpreted quite well by Hacken. This Cantonese song launched by the Prime Minister every year and a half corresponds to fairy tales and reality, telling the refraction of a reality that love will fade with time, and dwelling in more of the helplessness and reality of life.
31 Zheng Xiuwen "How to Hold Back Tears"
[Lyrics: Huang Weiwen; Music, Arrangement: SHIMICA/DANIEL CHU; Producer: Cai Decai]
Recommendation: Compared with the song itself, "How to Hold Back Tears" is actually Sammi's first withdrawal work - both the withdrawal from the emotional shackles of the past and the breaking through the cage created by the stereotype of the music world. In such a song that seems to be inferior to previous works, "How to Hold Back Tears", and no matter what the connection between the song and "How to Shed Tears", it is already touching to hear Zheng Xiuwen's singing itself, especially the amount of information given to the song by singing.
30 Supper Moment
[Lyrics and music: Supper Moment; Arrangement: Supper Moment/J1M3; Executive Producer: Bert/Supper Moment]
Recommendation: Starting from the family issue, what remains unchanged is the rock and inspirational energy of wandering in the tenderness, and this "Wave Sugar" is also a praise given by Super Moment to every boy who becomes a father.
29 Feng Yingqi's "The Covenant of Sake"
[Lyrics and music: Feng Yingqi; Arranger, Producer: Su Daozhe]
Recommendation: The door to music that opens in reality and nothingness, the slight drunkenness and ambiguity of "The Covenant of Sake", and the sense of parallelism created by the switching of true and false tones, actually lead to another place. Feng Yingqi, who has handed over high-quality works for many singers, has made a breakthrough in "The Covenant of Sake" this time.
28 Zhou Guoxian and ToNick, "The Original Intention of Time"
[Lyrics: Zheng Min; Music: Zhou Guoxian / Heng Tsai; Arrangement: Zhou Guoxian / ToNick / Goro Wong; Executive Producer: Goro Wong]
Recommendation: The importance of time to the original intention of life, there are traces in this song. The representatives of the same rock, Zhou Guoxian and ToNick, with the most rock and most sincere expression, burned out the truth in life, paving the sense of cinema that belongs to this song.
27 Pandora Journey of Tomorrow
Lyrics: Tony Huen /MJ Tam; Music: Tony Huen/Anakin Foo; Arrangement: Pandora; Executive Producer: Pandora/MJ Tam]
Recommendation: Also the encouragement and morale extended by the epidemic, "Tomorrow's Journey" accompanies the main tone under the pop rock and uses music to give the listener strength.
26 Serrini "Cyber Security Risks"
[Lyrics: Serrini; Music, Producer: Serrini/Yeung Tung; Arrangement: Yeung Tung]
Recommendation: Packaging the current online social issues in the style of electronic dance music in the 80s, there are criticisms, discussions, and thought-provoking parts, and the arrangement and singing are very brilliant. Serrini's final completion of both the creation itself and the final completion of the work in recent years has surprised the endless possibilities in her.
25 Huang Yan, "The Part of My Heart That Hasn't Broken Yet"
Lyrics: Chow Yiu-fai/Wang Leyi; Music: Huang Yan/Lin Jiaqian; Arrangement: Lin Jiaqian; Executive Producer: Edward Chan/Lin Jiaqian]
Recommendation: From the beginning of her debut, Wenqing singer-songwriter who sang sweet songs and small fresh winds turned to this stage with deeper social understanding and insight, and Huang Yan's road to singer-songwriting has become more and more stable. In this song, it is obvious that a nirvana-style musical answer sheet has been handed over, and the singing voice, style and even the personification of the song have turned a new page. Of course, through the lyrics, a truth is also written: even if the world collapses, there is still light ahead, which is the hope and beauty handed over by musicians and singers
24 Dear Jane, SOPHY, "Kiss the Shield"
Lyrics: Lin Bao; Music: Howie; Arrangement: Dear Jane/David & Antoine; Executive Producer: Howie/Tim/Kwan Lichen]
Recommended words: The most beautiful love portrayal under the epidemic. The sense of powerlessness and the sense of distance brought out by the protective shield intertwines in the voices of men and women to produce a spark of misplaced psychedelicism. This is the only chorus on Dear Jane's new album and one I personally recommend.
23 RubberBand "Every Tiny"
[Lyrics: RubberBand/Tim Lul; Composer: RubberBand; Arranger, Producer: RubberBand/Lei Baixi]
Recommendation: Extract great wisdom from a young age, arrange the music very finely, and adjust the gorgeous and soft tones through the Broadway musical opening style. On this jazz-based album, every song on RubberBand is stunning.
22 Mai Junlong and Xie Anqi "Chorus"
Lyrics: Zhou Yaohui; Music: Xu Jizong; Arrangement: Mike Orange; Executive Producer: Mak Junlong/Cai Decai]
Recommendation: In the sense of magnificent picture, the story jumps out of the paper. This "Chorus Singing" not only changes the conventional from the length, but also subverts from the perspective of instrumental accessories and chorus, introducing more possibilities to redefine chorus with a sense of theater.
21 方皓玟《All We Have Is Now》
[Lyrics: Fang Haowei / No. 6; Music: Fang Haowei; Arrangement: Ariel Lai; Producer: Xu Chuangji]
Recommendation: Living to have a future, the present is very precious, which also makes all efforts valuable. Another of Bob's pumping songs has accompanied many people through this year, and the energy of music is precisely what allows us to discover "All We Have Is Now".
20 Robynn & Kendy, "Red and White"
RK is temporarily out of the music scene.
Testimonials:
After the release of the single "Red and White" at the end of March 2020, the nine-year girl group Robynn & Kendy (Ye Qingqing and Sun Xiaohui) announced the suspension of the group at the same time, after which the two will do Solo independent development, this work is also a temporary parting work launched by the two, which has brought the nine-year group's musical journey to a successful conclusion.
In this song "Red and White", composed by Lan Yibang and co-composed by Robynn & Kendy, Lan Yibang and Goro Wong, it naturally inherits this emotion, and there are many natural outflows, soaked in a number of real emotions such as memories, gratitude, mutual companionship and expectations for the future, and integrates everything into a small perspective such as "red (thing) white (thing)" with figurative feelings.
The lyrics are very realistic, and the composition and arrangement have also done a lot of tailor-made processing according to the voice line, so that the part sung by the two people has an emotional confrontation and pointing. On the one hand, there is beauty and hope, and on the other hand, there is mourning and sadness, forming a different expression.
Looking at the MV again, the perspective migration is only a few scenes to write the joy and impermanence of life - people coming and going is the norm, and through the singing of the two people, why not say that "reality should be cherished"?
Even if you don't give up, even if you have been beautiful, even if you are sad now, you must finally look forward.
Word: Lan Yibang
Music: Robynn & Kendy / Lan Yibang / Goro Wong
Arranger, Executive Producer: Lan Yibang / Goro Wong
19 Chen Kaiyong and Lin Jiaqian, "Isolation"
A model for male and female duets under the 2020 epidemic.
In 2020 under the epidemic, "isolation" is the norm, and many people have experienced the days of "home isolation".
And this song by Chen Yaosen and KW Zhu Minxi, composed by Yan Xiaolei, "Isolation", with this title, from "isolation" to explore the "isolation" under the emotional packaging that can resonate with both sexes.
The work uses the expression of Hip Hop music to create a different ballet love song, its subtlety is the strong sense of K and resonance of this song, and the singing part is differently interpreted due to emotion. The pain of unrequited love is the unreachable "isolation".
Of course, from the perspective of Paitai, there are two versions of this song: one is the solo version of Chen Kaiyong, and then the chorus version of "Studio Live Duet" that is invited to Come to Lin Jiaqian. The latter version is also recommended, which is also an excellent example of male and female singing under the epidemic in 2020.
In this version, in addition to the part of Chen Kaiyong, the male perspective dominated by Lin Jiaqian @ Lin Jiaxuan TerenceLam is added as a supplement, and the interweaving of the two voices creates a multi-layered sense of narrative. In addition to "unrequited love", there is also a "bitter waiting" spare tire line, which is interwoven and interprets the emotional story that is most likely to resonate at the moment.
Lyrics: Chen Yaosen / KW Zhu Minxi
Music: Yan Xiaolei
Arrangement: Su Daozhe / Nic Tsui
Producer: Feng Hanming
18 Lin Yikuang, "The Lonely Other Side"
The lonely song made me lose my mind
In fact, the mix and matching of Canto Pop and Jazz is not uncommon in the context of Cantonese songs, and RubberBand, which launched a new album in the same year, also follows this path. But Lin Yikuang's advantage is that he can not only write such a melody full of jazz mood, but also enrich the singing of the whole song with instrumental accessories to develop his own logo recognition.
This "Lonely Other Side" is like this, its love song attributes allow the song to have a place to empathize; and Phil@ Lin Yikuang Phil personally played the saxophone, which makes the direction of the melody more lifelike and interesting, the sense of air of the voice, the direction of the notes and the artistic conception of the vocals, all make the "Lonely Other Side" no longer become boring and sentimental in listening like most love songs that tell loneliness.
At the very least, "The Lonely Other Side" also makes you and me in the process of listening to the song decompress and become less lonely.
Lin Yikuang's interpretation of jazz is the perfect connection between the new generation of texture creation and singing with nostalgia and retro.

17 Cen Ning'er", "Always Willing"
The dialogue between mother and daughter, love flows through the river of time.
An old song from 33 years ago carries the love of mother Liu Tianlan for her two-year-old daughter, "often willing" is to accompany, is to wait, is to watch you grow up; and the cover song from daughter Cen Ning'er @ Cen Ning'er Yoyo Sham in 2020 is to interpret the love that flows through the river of time with commitment, understanding and gratitude.
The original scene of the song is more private, and there is not much popularity, but because of the re-picking in "Bedtime Story", everything in the past has been completely broken - "little love" is not small, "often" in the ear, the gentleness and emotion of the song have completely diluted the marginal sense of the song itself, becoming a heart-warming soup that melts in the mouth, and Cen Ning'er has also turned the emotion of the song into a more extensive gentle force.
Of course, in this album, there are also old objects, memories, texts, dialogues and songs, etc., and the bedside story is also the scenery of Cen Ning's childhood life. They contain the love of reality perfectly, and "Always Willing" is the love that coexists in a roundabout way between the two generations of mother and daughter, which is the purest and most touching.
Listening to Yoyo sing such a lullaby cantonese work "Always Willing" in the minor key with a gentle voice of narrative sense will be healed no matter where you are.

16 Zhang Jingxuan, "See or Not See"
See or not see, but also very worried
Following Sheng Le's debut live, the MV of the song "See or Not See" was officially launched on Hong Kong Emperor YT in December. Although the purpose of this song is fully instigated by 3 Hong Kong, it has also launched a promotional video with the theme of the song, and the theme of the song derives the connection between music and love in a broader sense - the sudden launch of the song is also a heavy surprise for fans who have not seen Hins for a long time; and then the new album that landed at the beginning of the year also made fans in nearly half of the Hong Kong circle exclaim the New Year. The surprise at the end of the year can be described as a series of attacks.
In this song, it is still about the complex but subtle feelings of the big era, "seeing or not seeing" has become the norm under the epidemic, on the one hand, the uncertainty of life and death, on the other hand, the inability to meet due to distance... The phrase "the distance that seems to be far away or near" is like the powerless feeling of being blocked by space and wanting to see but not being able to see in the big era. But fortunately, in the Internet age, we can always "want to see" if we want to see.
The cooperation between Zhang Jingxuan and the lyricist Zhang Chuqiao and the musician Wu Zhuoxian, in addition to the strong resonance that the lyrics themselves can trigger, the melody has also moved ingenuity, using a simple and direct pop melody as the main axis, arranging and mixing into the fusion of Chinese and Western music, instrumental accessories such as pipa, erhu and flute and other Chinese music performances, enriching the atmosphere of the song. This practice is to elevate the plurality of a sense of hearing to the level of world music to create a sense of distance under the theme of "seeing or not seeing".
More to talk about Zhang Jingxuan's singing, it can be clearly heard that he consciously changed the original singing voice and singing method, and in this song, he used a more natural and gentle confession to extend the emotions of the layers of recursion in the song, showing the strong cultivation of a professional singer. Those flowing, touching, freeze-frame or amorphous moments can find a one-to-one correspondence in this song.

15 Chen Lei's "Mother-in-law"
Born in a mother-in-law, which has a fairy tale
It is not so much "Shu Po" as it is chen Lei's "World of Shu Po" constructed with musical notes. It has jumped out of the category of traditional pop music, and integrated its own musical samples with song touches, absurd, psychedelic, and complex, all of which belong to Chen Lei's musical worldview.
In this song, you can clearly feel the talent from the creator - the lyrics are flexible and bizarre, the melody is cheerful and sword-walking, and the leopard brother's singing is also amazing.
At the same time, coupled with Mike Orange's mysterious arrangement, Li Xiaoyang's contribution to the throat singing in the prelude, the instrumental blessing of bass and drums in the song, and some details are minimized... All extend a full sense of scene. Of course, if it is not enough to hear, there is also a MV that is also quite textured, and the music and images flow perfectly.
These are not the inner texture of traditional Cantonese pop songs, but the most bright and eye-catching colors in the process of the times. Fortunately, good singers and singers always hand over their work instead of repeating what the masses think is popular.
In the Hong Kong music scene, it is good to have Chen Lei.

14 Chen Baiyu,"The Thing About Feelings"
Where there are feelings without scars
Recommended language;
Whether Chen Baiyu can sing love songs, of course, there is no doubt, almost all songs have a very clear recognition, and the voice characteristics are very outstanding.
And the new song "Feelings" launched in 2020, in addition to the inheritance of emotional interpretation, to dig deep into the core of the song; there is also the adjustment of the singing method, Chen Baiyu this time with a less common singing method to interpret a rather gradient vision of the emotional experience, the difficulty increases, but also shows his Vocal more delicate strengths.

13 AGA《See You Next Time》
Good people who still believe in love can live better
As a Hong Kong female singer-songwriter, AGA has achieved a musical balance between mainstream and personality, handing over a lot of textured creations. The recognizable singing and biting style, the output of opinions on melodies and works, etc., all form a pair of figurative musical scenes in this album with scattered emotional distribution.
This song "See You Next Time" is also among the top ten works promoted by the professional music industry in 2020, which is unfolded by the heavy encounter with the previous degree, and the interweaving of a song shows the interweaving of various emotions such as helplessness, letting go, freeness, blessing, goodbye, etc., and the contradiction is substituted into the song scene, and AGA's singing is impressive.
The MV of this song is also synchronized with the concept of the song, inviting Mai Zile and Cai Siyun to play the male and female protagonists to interpret this love.

12 Deng Xiaoxiao, "Walking with People"
Travel through suffering and practice every day to be a saint
From the interaction of fans, the wisdom of life is condensed, from the daily emotions, the healing works that break free from the dilemma are embodied, and a self-consistent musical expression is achieved from the mixed emotions of cold and warm. In this song, Deng Xiaoxiao @ Deng Xiaoxiao plays the role of a healer again, teaching people to face the scars and allowing people to complete redemption through music.
The old saying: "See yourself, see the heavens and the earth, see all beings", "Walking with People" is also a song containing great wisdom, listening to the song can also see the past you and me.
This is a Cantonese song that is quite brilliant in terms of emotions, lyrics, melody and arrangement, and Deng Xiaoxiao handed over a high-scoring song in 2020.

11 Zheng Xinyi's "Little Night Light"
North of the fairy, the star over there is your home
Y-style children's songs have never been written for children, but for the inner weaknesses of adults, and they are children's songs that adults can still resonate with. Under his gentle brushstrokes, the taste of life is pyrotechnic, and different people can hear the emotions hidden in their memories from the songs. Looking at the lyrics alone, this song "Little Night Light" is still a beautiful place to live with reality.
And in terms of singing, it is still a balance between the two sides:
On the one hand, it is the daily life of the child's heart, the "little night lamp" is a small but companionship characteristic, the singer has enough space to show the delicacy of the singing emotions; on the other hand, there is a hidden metaphor, leaving a return - to parents and children, to the past and to close friends, to the people around them... It's all very meaningful. I think this song is also sung by Zheng Xinyi to her mother Fat Mother.
The melody itself is quite enduring, and He Shan's arrangement is even more exquisite. And Zheng Xinyi's @Joyce Zheng Xinyi's singing also changed her previous singing voice, with a gentle whisper, more closely and sincerely interpreted to interpret the "small night lamp" understood in her dictionary.
There are a few "night lights" left in everyone's heart, just as there are always some people in our lives who bring security and warmth.

10 Li Xingni,"Beautiful Man and Cigarette"
The more you quit, the more you love, the more you love the more you quit
It is a "breakout" song.
Li Xingni's "Beautiful Man and Cigarette" not only jumps out of the public perception of Gin Lee, showing her rich musicality and ability to control different works; it also leads the face of love songs to a deeper and more sensual category, such sadomasochism, such infatuation, and entangled love-hate entanglement, etc., are just like the portrayal of people who are obsessed with deep love, "beautiful men and cigarettes" This is a spiritual and gender-oriented proposition.
The lyrics of which way, the melody of Vincent Chow, the chorus Hook is quite brainwashed and easy K, to create a fascination in a roundabout way, and to bring out those difficult parts of love through the metaphor of words. That's why the use of poison to describe love also shows why it's so deeply ingrained.
Li Xingni is a "good singer", everyone knows her powerful technical flow, and such a charming emotional style is rare in her works, which is a high-quality Cantonese song work.
Of course, the MV also has something to watch, inviting Hu Zhuoxi and Verosa to interpret the content of the song with a superb performance on a large scale, and also complete the integration with Gin Lee's singing voice.

9 Wang Yunzhi's Jasper
This star-chasing tour discovers that it was you
What about playing my idol?
One of the few musicians in the music world who still insist on using artistic flow appreciation thinking to complete texture creation, Wang Yunzhi not only combs out the face of life with music, but also pays tribute to art with music.
The MV of this "Jasper" was filmed from a glacier and is very artistic. The inspiration is that after missing the concert of idol Björk on a trip to Rome, he realized the happiness of his husband around him, seemingly recording the "sense of loss of star chasing failure", but in fact, the landing point is the companionship of the side, and it is another small luck to complete the recording of the song.
The arrangement continues her consistent style, and adds the line embedding of orchestral, piano and soul music, as well as the musical elements related to Björk, forming a flowing emotional factor; the singing method is deliberately adjusted, and the water-like emotions that flow between them are the expression of entering the world to form a world view of the world, and the more restrained "jasper" image of emotion is represented.
Although some people still feel that such music is niche, not easy to K, and has an aesthetic threshold, it is precisely because music has musicians such as Wang Yunzhi who are still insisting, and the music world will have more than one kind of complexity.

8 Feng Yunqian, "The Man from the Earth"
We can run away and find new yearnings
Feng Yunqian, who launched two EPs last year, is highly prolific and high-quality, and he has handed over this topic work that relies on the local status quo but has easy Kness, "People from the Earth".
The lyrics are rare masterpieces in Cantonese songs in recent years, with a sense of doom, realistic care, theme expansion, and individual thinking... "Running away" is the people's livelihood problems faced by reality, but "People from the Earth" also has future elements dominated by escape and cherishing, and Wang Leyi's words obviously have a pun.
And Feng Yunqian's song, the musicality is also outstanding. As a creative-led musician, he and T-Ma sceneized the lyrics with a non-streamlined texture in the melody, the arrangement was quite advanced, and the singing part was also improved, more transparent and comfortable. Inward is the concrete emotion, outward is the shaping of the overall song structure, Feng Yunqian's voice interpretation of this huge and enlightening theme is more suitable.

7 Xu Tingheng's "Negative"
Can't be wrong, can't be wrong, can't be wrong?
Although from the perspective of the amount of broadcast and the degree of dissemination, Xu Tinghao's "Feeling of Powerlessness" seems to be closer to the current situation of individual survival in the general environment, and it is also the annual golden song in the hearts of many people. But this album of the same name title "Negative", interesting, brainwashed, clear attitude, but also full of personality, you can interpret his part of the album in this album "seeking new and changing" appeal from another aspect.
To put it bluntly, a singer who has been debuting for ten years also dares to challenge the traditional aesthetic sample and achieve self-consistency with the richness and diversity of music, which Xu Tinghao has left many singers by a large margin. More importantly, the works he handed over on this album can reflect the possibility of his staged musical expression.
Looking directly at this "Negative", the electronic arrangement with the sense of distortion generated by the synthesizer, the style of the song is more focused on rhythm and rhythm, Xu Tinghao's bass, singer and expression of the song have been shown, rather than blindly destroying the pleasantness of the human voice through the electronics, but achieving a kind of connection with the song creation level.
After listening to "Negative", I believe you will also agree that this is a completely different Xu Tinghao.

6 Lin Jiaqian, "A Word Back in Time"
It is enough to redo the time by simply going back in one sentence
With the piano as the main axis, the orchestral instruments are laid out just right, forming a flowing sense of picture. In the prelude to this song, the ingenuity of the flow of time is buried to pay tribute to the Cantonese golden song "Love of the Mist"; and the details of the arrangement are closely and seamlessly linked to the story, whether it is the distortion of the synthesizer or the details of the distinctive personal characteristics of the family's humble singing method, which are unforgettable. Of course, the MV also extends a lot of readability, showing the regret and youth with the story.
Singer-songwriter Lin Jiaqian, with this song as an incision, restores the texture of Cantonese songs of the 1980s, and has the realistic reflections contained in his current creative works.
The song "A Word Back in Time" invited Huang Weiwen to write lyrics, Lin Jiaqian composed and arranged, is still lyrically dominant, but the emotions are more intense and grounded than before, and can find realistic support.
As Lin Jiaqian said: "(This is) the first song written to myself, thank you Wong Wai Man", but we should be more grateful to the beautiful boy Lin Jiaqian for bringing music in 2020, with the warmth of companionship with us through this year.

5 Lin Erwen", "Reunion"
Hug when you can
An old demo that Lu Kaitong once wrote, a filler from his friend Zhou Yaohui, a moving moment interpreted by Lin Erwen, a heart-to-heart connection reached through music... These fragments make up the whole of the song, and all reflect the past back into the music through "Reunion".
Two years after Lu Kaitong left, Lin Erwen still used his own method to let us remember Ellen with music, with touching, with those moments connected with the past and reality. The works and feelings are reunited with the "embrace" across time and space, and the MV reflects this even more.
The word "reunion" originally originated from the feeling of the restriction order, but it also made Erwen think of a deeper dimension of separation, life and death, time and space, and the gathering and separation of life stages... In music, she hopes that this complete concept can be summed up through walking, "when you can hug / hug", which is the best way to face the impermanence of life. So, she chose one of the demos created by Ah Mei (Lu Kaitong) and the first one, and continued the light of music with the creation she left to the world.
It is also this song "Reunion" that makes us believe in the eternity that can be condensed into a certain moment.

4 Damien's "All the Places in the World Today"
Keep singing, keep looking, always find your way
The song "Today Should Be Happy" after a gap of 32 years has a follow-up to "All the Places in the World Today" in 2020. The song was composed by Ming Ge and Liu Yida, and the lyrics were also Pan Yuanliang, which was first sung at the Red Pavilion concert in November, but the feelings, projections, and even the current situation of the comparison between the present and the past in the song have changed dramatically. What remains unchanged is probably the power of music to inspire people in any era and any place.
In this song, the lyrics of the pen like a god show their boldness, and also show the appeal of Pan Yuanliang and the singer - eager to use the pen and singing to regain those lost things, and finally find the direction; and the melody is still a desolate background to interpret the feeling of the moment, listening to the previous song, but the empathy is stronger and thought-provoking. This moment, no matter where it is, can arouse the same emotions.

3 Karen Mok, "Breathing Is Harmful"
Old things fill the air, and every breath is harmful
One of the most surprising events in the Hong Kong music scene in 2020 was the launch of a Cantonese single by Karen Mok. For long-lost fans and fans, this long-lost Cantonese song really makes many people listen to ear oil and love it.
This 2020 drama theme song "Breathing Harmful", is the theme song of the TV series "Flying Tiger's Thunder Pole War", last year launched Chinese version of "Just Not Enough Love", using poison gas as a metaphor for the desire of human emotions, the song set many records in the Hong Kong music scene - the first five-channel champion song, the 2020 annual song of the music world, the highest of the major charts, and even triggered a number of Hong Kong singers to cover songs in turn in this year. The popularity of the song, from Hong Kong to the mainland, is an absolute annual Cantonese song.
These, thanks to the quality of the work itself, the lyrics Luo Jiancheng and Deng Zhiwei, as well as the relevant behind-the-scenes staff, created an easy-to-K and good stream-of-consciousness work for Karen Mok, which was born in line with the picture sense of the series. The four words "breathing is harmful" are also suitable for the current social situation, "lack of oxygen to the point of illusion", "every breath is harmful" The vividness of the pen is not conventional.
Of course, it's thanks to Karen's brilliant interpretation of the song. Her timbre, biting words, sense of language, emotional retraction, and even the control of this song reflect her unique charm, interpreting this song to a specification higher than the theme song. From the sound of more delicate and timeless, but also without losing depth and flexibility.
After "Breathing Harmful", I also look forward to hearing That Karen Mok bring more Cantonese song works in the future.

2 Eason Chan "Yes but Ask for Love"
Love seven colors and five tastes, more dust falls into the five aggregates
There is no shortage of love songs in the music world, and singers can always find a cut in the broad and narrow love songs through the lyricist and their own starting point, swimming out of different emotional curves.
This "Yes but Ask for Love" is naturally the same, but it is a slow-motion cone mood song that uses anti-Canto Pop brushstrokes to expand emotions and finally tailor-made for the singer. It focuses on the love itself, but it is not limited to the love, but gives way to the singing to dig out the delicate and subtle layering, from which different people can get different feelings.
The song contains new expressions in the old, with Eason's singing, so that it contains great tolerance and bluntness in the blandness, with a story-full interpretation, the more you listen to the more you feel. Undoubtedly, this song is the "song of the year" for many people for 20 years.
The songwriter is a combination of old + new, Lin Jiaqian's melody, seemingly peaceful, gentle and simple casual, but this kind of writing reflects the new generation of singers' singing perception, soothing and planting emotional traps, and in different paragraphs into some instrumental accessories to extend the sense of picture, this obvious paragraphization part makes Eason Chan's Vocal have a very strong display space; and the words of Xiao Ke who have cooperated many times are good at playing word games, and many levels, which also makes the lyrics condensed and colorful, and has a heavy foundation.
The multiple possibilities of dismantling "Yes but Ask for Love" wander, and the love book is full of words and there is no answer.

1 Dear Jane "Galaxy Repairman"
I wish you peace under the turbulence
At first glance, it is about love and protection in a chaotic world, but Huang Weiwen's pen will never stop here.
In this song, set in Hong Kong, it talks about love, but there are twists and turns and fragility, not blindly sweet, but as broad as the milky way; and with private goods, Tuo wrote out the wish to survive in adversity and be safe and smooth in the chaotic world, and the sentence "I wish you peace under the turbulence" I don't know how many people quote and send it as a blessing to those around you.
Of course, the gradual melodic lines in "Galaxy Repairman", the consistent style continuation of djs, and the warmth and inspiration of the band Band have all made the Hong Kong music scene a healing song in recent years.
Songs have a song destiny, just as Dear Jane waited 11 years later to collaborate with Wong Wai Man in her own work. At present, "Galaxy Repairman" is also the annual Cantonese golden song that society needs most.

Supreme Song Joey Yung "Tokyo Life"
Next year saved life who said there must be a partner with Tokyo
In addition to the 100 songs I shared before, "Tokyo Life", which tied for my favorite Cantonese single Top 1 last year, is the 2020 Supreme Song that I privately recommend.
It was launched at the end of the year in the form of a trailer + decryption, fans can find more information about this song through clues, but also let the expectations of "Tokyo Life" be increased; and the song configuration, it is also composed by "Huang Weiwen + Howie", but the song not only has Joey Yung personally involved in the composition, the arrangement lineup also has the familiar He Bing, and the producer Shu Wen is Joey's must-mention behind-the-scenes hero... Such a cass, together with Huang Weiwen's creative cut-in because of his resentment against the failure to complete the trip in Tokyo, is destined to be the weight of this finale.
Looking at the lyrics alone, "Tokyo Life" is very much like a life advertising song, but the disassembly is full of insights into impermanence, luck, and the present, and the phrase "take advantage of everything is just right /matching endless accidents to have fun" is not the best interpretation of the cherishing and timely pleasure of the present?
The melodic part is the familiar Howie-style creation, the song conveys the value tendency under the packaging of Pop Rock, and the core of "Tokyo Life" is completely supported by a strong rhythmic arrangement and a different singing voice. In this song, Joey Yung shows her powerful singing ability, that kind of soft soft soft and hardcore rock, all of which are combined in the song.
Through the song, I also hope that as the song says: everyone can grasp the happiness of the moment and leave no regrets.
Music: Howie/Joey Yung
Arrangement: Howie & Ho Bing Shun
