Hong Kong’s Mirror launches English song, revives Cantopop
Continued from page 13
one-on-one during the recording
sessions.
Lo said the group will monitor
audiences’ reactions closely but that
they will no doubt continue producing
music in Cantonese even as some
members might produce solo songs in
Mandarin. The group also has plans
to launch a worldwide tour possibly
next year, he said.
Lui said their ambition of reviving
Cantopop as Asia’s No. 1 music might
sound “like daydreaming.”
“But I think we should have that
goal inside our hearts and we should
try to do our best to pursue this
dream,” he said.
