Hong Kong pop music, commonly known as "Hong Kong music".
In the past half century, it has changed from a regional entertainment business to a popular culture that has influenced Chinese people around the world, and the classic Cantonese golden songs of the 1980s and 1990s are still haunting every corner of the Chinese world.
However, since the beginning of this century, public opinion about "the Hong Kong music scene is dead" and "the decline of Hong Kong music" has been endless.
Recently, the results of the 2020 Taiwan Four Awards Ceremony in the Hong Kong music scene have become a hot topic in the media. Among them, Nandu Weekly, with the title of "The Golden Melody Awards Ceremony of the Top Ten Songs that Were Once "Immortal Fights", has now become a TVB Employee Commendation Conference", and issued a question "Who is still qualified to lead the trend of Hong Kong pop music?" The questioning once again triggered the echo of fans who cared about "Hong Kong Music".
Looking back at every boom period of "Hong Kong Music", there is a generation of iconic superstars:
Xu Guanjie, Guan Zhengjie, Luo Wen, Zheng Shaoqiu, Wang Mingquan in the "Folk Song Minor" era;
Tan Yonglin, Zhang Guorong, Mei Yanfang, Xu Xiaofeng, Chen Baiqiang, Lin Zixiang, Ye Qianwen, Lin Yilian in the "Urban Pop" era;
The "Four Heavenly Kings" of the "Karaoke" era, Li Keqin, Wang Fei, Zheng Xiuwen, Peng Ling;
Millennial Eason Chan, Gu Juji, Joey Yung, Miriam Yeung, etc.
Even in the more recent years of 2005-2007, there were also popular artists such as Deng Ziqi, Fang Datong, Biantian, Wei Lan, Chen Baiyu, Lin Yikuang, and Zhou Baihao.
So, why do the "xinzha" singers in the Hong Kong music scene in the past decade lead to an unconvincing sense of strangeness to the public? The reasons for this are none other than the following:
1. The lag in Hong Kong's economic development has greatly weakened its cultural radiation to the outside world, which naturally affects the export of popular music.
2. The fragmentation of the "four major electronic media" in the Hong Kong music scene and the decline of traditional radio and television media make it difficult to concentrate on concocting new idols that are household names.
3. The rapid development of the mainland entertainment industry, the popularity of variety shows, and the strong manufacturing of traffic stars have attracted fans' attention to the past Hong Kong music scene.
Therefore, the key point is "communication": when TVB is no longer strong, when the awards ceremony is reduced to "pork sharing", when the focus shifts to the mainland, Hong Kong Music loses its most important public opinion position and can only compete with many other sub-music genres for the mini cake of the "Focus Market".
In fact, the future policy on the success or failure of "Hong Kong Music" and how to "revitalize glory" can become an academic paper of tens of thousands of words.
Due to space limitations, this article mainly shares with you some of the "new faces" worth looking forward to in the so-called "Hong Kong music downturn" to see if they can "Jedi counterattack" under the "decline" and lead the new direction of the Hong Kong music scene in the future.
To be fair, we have uniformly selected as the finalists the artists who debuted their debut albums in 2010 and thereafter (the year of publication is indicated in parentheses). Based on the star-making tradition of the Hong Kong music scene, which has always been good at creating concepts, this article will also refer to the 12 "new generations" as "twelve new constellations".
<h1>Lian Shiya (debuted in 2010</h1>).
Model-born Lian Shiya has a tall and beautiful body, so her earliest step into the entertainment industry was to participate in the TV series "Riptide Youth", and even went to Japan to shoot a pure film album for "Monthly NEO", becoming the first Hong Kong female artist to be invited, and the appearance of the trend movie "Love Night Pu 2" also brought her a lot of popularity, and won the "Best New Actor" at the 31st Hong Kong Film Awards.
In 2020, she also starred in the urban emotional drama "Those People I Loved" and the movie "The Life and Death of the Infernal Walker".
On the road of singing, Lian Shiya signed a contract with Warner Records in 2010, because she and Fang Datong of the same company at that time were friends since childhood, so she was naturally called "Fang Datong's little sister".
SHIGA has released several EPs in Warner's seven years, but unfortunately has never had a complete album.
However, the results of the single are quite good, including 2013/2014/2015 for three consecutive years with "Stop here", "Say a Word", "Just Be with You" won the "Top Ten Chinese Golden Songs" award, "Say a Sentence" won the ninth place in the "Top Ten".
For a little girl who can't Chinese and can only be memorized by pinyin, such an achievement is not easy, this case is very similar to her sister of the same company at that time, Tianhou Ye Qianwen, who also does not understand Chinese, but can sing Cantonese so sonorously.
In terms of musical style, Lian Shiya did not pursue too much alternative skill, plain and warm, like the most common "crazy for love" neighbor woman on the "old street corner", but in the fiercely competitive music scene, it does lack some edges and corners.
On the contrary, in the last EP "ANOTHER ME" of Chao Warner, she only highlighted the extraordinary side of the past.
In 2019, she followed her brother Zhou Baihao through the "Big Stage" background of Star Dream Entertainment, successively sang several TVB drama songs, after nearly 5 years away from the podium, finally returned in the 2020 "Golden Melody Awards" with "Love Affair" / "Little Lies", sincerely hope that this is a new beginning of SHIGA music mileage.
<h1>Xu Tingheng (debuted in 2011).</h1>
Xu Tingheng should be regarded as a new idol concocted by TVB, debuting in the singer talent show "Super Loud" in 2009, and then signing with TVB's Xinghuan International (later renamed "Star Dream Entertainment"), and publishing his first solo album "Runaway Trilogy" in 2011.
His masterpiece "Ode to Youth" created the myth that the only song in the "Billboard Music Pop Chart" with the only criterion for statistical radio broadcast rate was the only one that won the two-week championship that year, breaking the unwritten rules of "叱咤" for many years.
In the "Star Dream" period, Xu Tinghao showed people with a youthful, handsome and healthy image and song road, and recruited a large number of fanatical young boys and girls to sing fans, and Xingtu was the most smooth sailing among his peers.
Originally, under the "shade of the big tree" of TVB, he could sing the "drama golden song" with rating guarantee all the way, and crown the big winner of the annual "Jingge" award.
However, Xu Tinghao, who is full of musical ambitions, resolutely joined Warner Records in 2017 to make personalized music with his own brand brand: "Magical Journey", "Pick Up" and "NEGATIVE" three "trilogy" series with complete concept and continuity, which undoubtedly washed away the lead of his idol color.
In a recent public interview, Xu Tingheng said that he had "no complaints and no regrets" about his choice.
Those who insist on their dreams will eventually get the favor of heaven: in the difficult year of 2020, he defeated Tan Yonglin and many other predecessors in the "12th Chinese Golden Melody Awards" to win the "Best Cantonese Male Singer of the Year", and won the most challenging "Golden Singer of the Year" for the first time. Perhaps, enthusiastic people who have been lamenting that "there is no successor to Hong Kong music after Eason Chan" can feel a little comforted.
<h1>JW Wang Hao'er (debuted in 2010</h1>).
JW Wang Hao'er, who looks a bit like a mixed-race child, is from the draft, but it is interesting that she was the runner-up in the finals after the 2006 "Spice It Up Academy Festival" and lost to Deng Ziqi, who was also a post-90s generation.
Of course, the influence of JW, who has a good singing ability, has always been limited to Cantonese-speaking areas such as Hong Kong and Guangdong, unlike Deng Ziqi, who has become a young diva in the Chinese music scene a few years ago.
In 2010 JW signed a contract with Dawn as the boss of A MUSIC, the company concentrated superior resources for her to build, gold medal producer Lei Songde personally served as the executive producer, the first EP "LOS ANGELS" Response is also very good, it should be said that JW Westernization slightly R&B's sexy singing voice has a distinct personal style, so she also naturally won the honor of "New City Hot Newcomer King" at the award ceremony at the end of the year.
From 2015 to 2016, JW Wang Hao'er, who joined the independent company SUNNY IDEA, ushered in the peak of her musical career, and the trilogy of "A Life of Contradictions"/"How Many Years"/"Free Flight" became the darling of multiple charts and awards ceremonies, and won the bronze medal after only Relegating to Joey Yung and Li Xingni in the fierce competition for "Female Singers in the Music World".
However, in the next four years, her singing career fell into a period of stagnation, until august 2020, she joined Dream Entertainment in a high profile at Tseung Kwan O TV Broadcasting City, and brought the 2020 Golden Song Award with "Light Mature Girl". However, with JW's deductive style, it seems that it is not necessarily suitable for Xingmeng's established series of golden song routes, let's wait and see her future development!
<h1>Hu Hongjun (debuted in 2012).</h1>
Hu Hongjun is Xu Tingheng's disciple, and his "star path" is very consistent with the first half of Xu Tingheng: also from "Super Loud" (one year later than Xu Tingheng), also signed with TVB and Xinghuan International, and also quickly launched his first solo album "Double Fly".
However, the difference is that in addition to the singing career of housekeeping skills, Hu Hongjun is more focused on the shaping of screen characters than Xu Tingheng.
His performance in "The Demon", full of "supernatural" colors, is amazing, of course, the task of interpreting the theme song "Here" also falls on himself.
Perhaps at the moment, "keeping his duty" and "Hu Hongjun is not as "deviant" as his brother Xu Tingzheng, he just quietly plays every role and sings every song.
Are You Happy? released in September 2020. "The album should be regarded as a phased summary of Hu Hongjun, both the popular golden songs of the series and the affectionate originals tailored for him by the executive producer, and thus selected as the "Chinese Golden Melody Awards" monthly top ten albums. This thirty-year-old Sven man, perhaps doing a good job in the present, is his hope for the future!
<h1>AGA Jiang Haijia (debuted in 2013</h1>).
Born in a musical family and of mixed Chinese and Filipino ethnicity, AGA Jiang Haijia has an innate Westernized music blood flowing in his bones. Influenced by her parents, she was already exposed to the piano at the age of nine, and she was more familiar with guitar and other instruments. Her English name "Agatha" (abbreviated as AGA), which is the name of a Catholic saint, was given to her by her childhood priest.
AGA, who has been a flight attendant for two years, can join the music scene thanks to her nobleman, Anthony Fernandes, the royal drummer of Jacky Cheung, the god of song.
After Anthony's introduction, Jiang Haijia handed over the demo he made to shu wen, the most popular record producer, and was recommended by him to sign with universal records in 2013, the world's largest record company, becoming the little sister of Tan Yonglin, Jacky Cheung, Eason Chan and other celestial superstars, and began her musical journey of unlimited scenery.
Compared with most newcomers who choose a relatively safe K-song route when they debut, AGA has unveiled its label of "singer-songwriter" at the beginning, and the music is completely following the R&B/SOUL love song route that she likes and is good at.
Of the four albums that have been released, each album will be accompanied by the original DEMO played and sung by herself, such a bold musical positioning is also unprecedented in the Hong Kong music scene.
Therefore, she was favored by professional music awards from the beginning, including the "Chinese Golden Melody Award" 2014 "Best Cantonese Female Newcomer of the Year" and the "Lingqi Music Circle" Fresh Force (Female) Gold Award.
In January 2018, AGA held her first mainland solo concert at the Guangzhou Gymnasium where countless celebrities left their marks, all 3,000 tickets were sold out, and the post-95 fans who cheered for her on the stage responded to each of her popular songs with incredibly shocking cheers and harmonies, and such an honor belongs to a new name that has not been debuted for 5 years.
The extraordinary year of 2020 is a year of infinite scenery for AGA: the 11th "Chinese Golden Melody Awards" awarded her "Best Cantonese Female Singer of the Year" (the winning album "LUNAR"), and at the year-end "Lingga Music Pop Chart" awards ceremony, AGA wrote her name more historically on the trophy of the "Lingjia Female Singer Gold Award", which had been Yung's pocket for more than a decade.
At this point, we can announce without exaggeration: a new era of "Hong Kong Music" tianhou has been born!
<h1>Xu Jingyun (debuted in 2013</h1>).
Xu Jingyun, whose image, song road and sister Yong'er are all somewhat similar, should be a model of "keeping the clouds open and seeing the moon".
Xu Jingyun's initial star path can be described as smooth and green: born in 1993, she was admitted to the Royal Conservatory of Music Grade 8 piano, in 2010 she participated in the Emperor Rookie Singing Contest and won the runner-up, officially signed a contract with Emperor Entertainment in 2013, debuted in the movie "Super Manager" in the same year, published her first solo record "Angela", and won the Most Popular Newcomer Award at the New Town Hot Newcomer Wang (Female Singer) and The Golden Melody Awards Ceremony in the same year.
After the first trial of the bright eyes of the cry, Xu Jingyun entered a bottleneck period that was not long or short, and the homogenization of the new wave of people allowed very few singers to go up to another level.
At this stage, she turned to the Internet as a mysterious identity of "small vest" and achieved unexpected success, so the Emperor refocused on her, the first step was to enter the mainland market and participate in popular talent shows.
In 2018, she participated in China's first girl group youth growth program "Creation 101", which won countless mainland fans; in 2019, as a kick pavilion singer, she participated in the recording of hunan satellite TV's "Singer 2019" that was popular across the country, and sang Mei Yanfang's Cantonese classic "Dream Companion" in the eighth kicking hall competition with a hot and sexy sense of the times, which aroused the curiosity and attention of many viewers to her.
Maybe Xu Jingyun, who sings and bounces well, is waiting for a first famous song that can become the "King of K Songs" and a representative album that can prove her personal characteristics, but with her young talent, everything is not too late!
<h1>Wu Yekun (debuted in 2015).</h1>
Wu Yekun is also a rookie forged from "Superstar" (the same year as Hu Hongjun in 2010), but his musical path is slightly difficult. After five years as a series performer and host of "Jingge", he ushered in his first solo album "Kwan Gor".
As soon as the album came out, it caused an explosive reaction: the title song "Turns Out She Didn't Love Me Enough" won the Newcomer Award at the Four Hong Kong Awards Ceremony and the "My Favorite Male Singer in the Music Scene" Award, which became a good story in the music scene for a while.
2016 was the peak of Wu Yekun's singing career, holding his first solo concert at the Hung Hom Sports Centre in Hong Kong in August, and in the same year, he won the "My Favorite Male Singer Award" again with the title song of his second solo album, "The People".
Subsequently, Wu Yekun's entry into the film and television field was also a great success.
In 2017, he was nominated for "Best New Actor" at the 36th Hong Kong Film Awards for his feature film Lucky Me. On November 19, 2020, he participated in the action light comedy "Extraordinary Three Heroes" on Youku Video.
Wu Yekun, known as "Kun Brother", has a low voice, which contrasts with the general high-pitched and clear male singers of the same generation, and it is precisely because he is good at expressing the sadness of small people in the big era, which is quite soothing to the mentality of the current crowd, so every golden song can quickly capture people's hearts.
Unfortunately, after the release of the third album "KEEP GOING" in 2018, because of the full date with the owner star entertainment, Kun Ge's momentum in the music world suddenly declined, and only a few singles were released in the past two years. Friends who like "Kun Brother", I am afraid that I have to wait patiently for his next outbreak!
<h1>HANA Kikuzi Qiao (debuted in 2017</h1>).
Hana Juziqiao, whose real name is Chen Xiaoyi and was born in 1986, can be described as "a late bloomer", and it was only at the age of thirty that he signed a contract with Chuangfu Culture to launch his first solo single "Today's Me".
But the next development is a thick accumulation:
Under the successful operation of the company, he soon joined Dream Entertainment and replaced Wu Ruoxi, who was temporarily suspended due to marriage and children, to become the royal female version singer of the TVB drama golden song.
In 2017, the first solo album "Forget Myself" was launched, and the songs of the most popular dramas such as "Acts 2" and "Storm of Hearts 3" were collected, and she also won the "Most Popular Female Singer of the Golden Song" award without suspense.
The title of "Star Dream Sister" was born, and the theme song of the album "Forget Myself" was also selected as the best Cantonese song of the year at the "Chinese Golden Melody Award".
Although HANA's rapid success is due to the singing rights of the popular drama series of "Near the Water Tower", her mature, solid and vicissitudes interpretation does show the scenes of those TV golden songs perfectly, and listening to her songs is like entering the dramatic life of TVB' changing lights and shadows, which is endlessly evocative.
What the audience is looking forward to is that with her natural high-quality singing skills, if she tries other music other than the golden song of the series, what kind of world will it be?
<h1>Chen Lei (debuted in 2019).</h1>
Chen Lei is from Guangzhou, her mother used to work behind the scenes of acting, and when she was a few years old, she followed her into the recording scene of the music column, which may also be the germ of her future career in this industry.
At the age of 19, Chen Lei went to Hong Kong alone for her musical dreams and won the palace army in the first "Asian Walk of Fame" with her strength.
Loving guitar and natural rock, she has formed a band with friends, and during this time, she has also participated in "Chinese Good Songs" and attracted attention. Because she likes to play games, play soccer, and has a personality like a boy, she is known as "Leopard Brother".
In 2017, Chen Lei formed her own independent company "Free Will" and began to truly start her own music career.
In 2018, the first factional work "Entertainment Life" entered the top three in the three major radio stations, and the second factional station work "RUN AWAY" won the "Lingqu List" and the "Chinese Golden Melody List". At the "Chinese Golden Melody Awards 2018 Ceremony" held in Wuhan in the same year, Chen Lei won her first award in her life, "Best Cantonese Female Newcomer of the Year", and 15 days later, she won the "Bronze Award for Singer-Songwriter in the Music World" as a newcomer, and the trend together has been very strong.
In 2019, Chen Lei joined the international company Warner Records with her outstanding performance and launched her first solo album "1029". The album named after her birthday has a strong "Chen Lei color", and Chen Lei also further won the "Best Cantonese Female Singer of the Year" award at the "12th Chinese Golden Melody Awards" with this debut album, creating a record of the shortest time to win this award.
With the excellent results of 5 songs on the chart and 1 champion song, Chen Lei won the "Bronze Award for Singer-Songwriter" for the third consecutive year in the "Billboard Pop Chart" and won the "Bronze Award for Female Singer" for the first time.
Perhaps, Chen Lei's inspirational story is just like the name of a classic Asian TV drama "I am from Guangzhou", which can break through the Hong Kong music scene in the dragon and tiger fighting, she is not only the pride of Guangzhou, but also a role model for all those who insist on their dreams!
<h1>Lin Jiaqian (debuted in 2020).</h1>
Lin Jiaqian is different from the above three "Star Dream" singers who debuted in the draft, he really went from a behind-the-scenes songwriter to the front of the stage, "writing and singing".
Readers may still be unfamiliar with Lin Jiaqian's name, but the works he created and supervised can be described as hot: including JW Wang Hao'er's "Contradictory Life" / "How Many Years" / "Free Flight" trilogy, Lin Youjia's "Today's Business" four works, Yang Qianwei's "Yu Chunjiao".
Other singers who have collaborated include Yan Yalun, Zhou Baihao, Peng Jiahui, Wei Lan, Chen Baiyu, Xu Tingheng, Lin Xintong, Sun Yaowei, Xue Kaiqi, etc., and the most powerful is that "The Science of the Heart" created for Joey Yung won the 2018 "Lingzhu Music World Supreme Song Award" composer.
Moreover, the coverage of Lin Jiaqian's works is not only the Hong Kong music scene, but also the Taiwanese Chinese songs that dominate the Chinese music scene, and he also comes to share a piece of the pie.
The sharpest thing is that Eason Chan's two Cantonese champion singles "Dance to the Times" and "Yes but Ask for Love" after 2 years are also from his brilliant pen.
With such a diverse composition, Lam Ka-chim's style as a behind-the-scenes musician is difficult to define for a while, but there is no doubt that the creation of other people's culture is a clear current representing the future of the Hong Kong music scene.
As a newcomer to Cantonese, Lin Jiaqian's record is staggering:
In January 2019, he released the single "Next Former Degree", which was composed, arranged, supervised and sung by the contractor;
In May 2020, he released his first solo album "Major in Minor", which was selected as one of the top ten albums of the month in the "Chinese Golden Melody Awards";
At the end of the same year, tvb won the "Best Singer-Songwriter Gold Award" at the "2020 Golden Song Awards Ceremony", and won the "Best Original Song Gold Award" for "The Realm of One Man";
The "Billboard Music Pop Chart", which has been supporting him, also awarded him the "Bronze Award for Male Singer" and the "Composer Award", achieving a double harvest in front of and behind the stage.
Lin Jiaqian at the singer level is quite low-key, and his gentle and heartfelt interpretation is in line with the aesthetic of the current "small luck". The applause of 2020 is still vivid, and his latest masterpiece "A Word Backwards in Time" topped the "Billboard Pop Chart" in week 5 of 2021.
Lun Yongliang, who transformed into a singer-songwriter as a producer of "The Man Behind the Piano", won the "Gold Award for Male Singer" in his first record, becoming an unprecedented music scene.
I don't know if Lin Jiaqian, as the inheritor, is just a cameo singer addiction, or is he really going to take singer as his main profession? Perhaps, singing and practicing is his best answer.
<h1>Supper Moment (2010</h1>).
Every decade in the Hong Kong music scene, there will be a "band boom", and there are many far-reaching classic bands: Wenner in the 70s, Beyond in the 1980s, Black Box in the 1990s, MR in the millennium, and this decade is destined to belong to Super Moment.
Formed in 2006 and featuring lead singer and guitarist Sunny, guitarist Martin, bass guitarist Zhang Zuguang (CK) and drummer Hugh, Supper Moment released two EPs in 2010, Wait..., Journey.
Super Moment, which has a perfect balance between business and art, has been acclaimed and well received professionally and marketably.
In 2017, "Song of Sha Yan" won the "Best Original Film Song Award" at the 36th Hong Kong Film Awards, and won the "Chinese Golden Melody Award" for the "Chinese Golden Melody Award" for the "Chinese Golden Melody Award" for the "Chinese Golden Melody Awards" for the mature "The Moment" album.
In 2018, Supper Moment took the "Lingpai Music Group Gold Award" to hold three concerts at the Hung Hom Sports Centre in Hong Kong, allowing mainstream music to witness the super energy of this "music force".
In 2020, Supper Moment commemorated its 19th anniversary with a selection album, 19 Moment. In the same year, "Everything Is You" was selected as one of the "Top Ten Chinese Records of the Year 2020 at the Chinese Golden Melody Awards".
Pop rock has been the most popular style chosen by Hong Kong bands in the past decade, and Supper Moment has added more of their own colors to the POP ROCK of The Road: folk, blues, and torrent metal.
Removing the appearance of the musical shell, the spirit of immortality and idealism in the bones are the core values that music fans most love about them. One of the songs "Endless" might be the true voice of Super Moment: "Embark on this endless journey... Life dreams of a revolution to old age." The journey is endless and the ideals are not lost, maybe this is the "Sea and Sky" that belongs to the Super Moment era!
<h1>Mirror (debut in 2020</h1>).
Speaking of the most classic combination of the Hong Kong music scene, there is no grasshopper at the end of the last century and Twins at the beginning of this century, but the star chasers of that year have become silver-haired people or entered the mid-life crisis, who is the most popular group belonging to the new generation of fans? If you don't know the rising name of Mirror, then you're outdated!
Mirror is Hong Kong's first large-scale men's singing and dancing group, a spin-off of the talent show "Good Night Show" founded by Viu TV, another upstart TV station outside TVB.
Mirror's business model is very different from our traditional understanding of the fixed member group, following the model of AKB48, a large Japanese girl idol group, and every year it will discover new people to join the group through the draft.
At present, Mirror has a total of 12 members, including: Anson Lo, Jiang Xiansheng (AK), Liu Yingting (Jer), captain Yang Lewen (Lokman), Chen Ruihui (Frankie), Wang Zhide (Alton), Qiu Shijin (Stanley), Chen Zhuoxian (Ian), Li Junjie (Jeremy), Lu Juean (Edan), Jiang Tao (Shou/KeungTo), Qiu Aoran (Tiger).
As a record company, the big country culture also takes a very different and innovative approach to marketing Mirror, releasing 6 team singles and creating 15 individual singles for members.
Among them, Chen Zhuoxian's "Official Start" (champion), Liu Yingting's "The Tale of Huiguang" (champion), Lu Hanting's "A Hanging Life", Jiang Xisheng's "Teden", and Jiang Tao's "Blindfolded Say I Love You" as the advance troops, with fresh electric sound and R&B style, have achieved impressive results in the "Ling" list of trend indicators.
On January 1, 2021, at the "2020 Annual Music Pop Chart Awards Ceremony", Mirror became the biggest winner, not only winning the "Bronze Award for The Music World Combination" in the name of the team, but also the members Liu Yingting and Lu Hanting won the gold and bronze awards of "The New Force".
And the most incredible thing is that Jiang Tao, who debuted in the first year, actually won the two most important awards of "My Favorite Male Singer in the Music World" and "My Favorite Song in the Music World" ("Cover Your Mouth and Say I Love You"), which once again refreshed the historical record of "叱咤". It is not an exaggeration to say that the Hong Kong music scene in 2020 is the year of Mirror.
In summary, the "Twelve New Constellations" of Hong Kong music listed above are actually just a microcosm of the stars in the Hong Kong music scene in the past decade, in fact, there are more distinctive names that have not been mentioned.
Although their musical attainments and influence are not yet comparable to those "emperor superstars" who have entered the palace, after time, who can conclude that the future "Heavenly King" and "Queen of Heaven" monuments will not be engraved with their names?

Do you have any new Cantonese songs that you have been around for a long time?
Feel free to share it in the comments section!
