LoLo LoLo teamed up with eight different units including Lam Ka-him, Mak Chun-lung, Lam Zixiang, Chen Jialing, Lu Fang, Shun Ning’er, Li Zongsheng and the Tai Chi band (ranked in order of songs from the album) to create eight new choral works, which were included in The new album “Together As One” in 2023 is really rare. At the same time, LoLo is also responsible for composing and producing songs, and has partnered with veteran musician Joseph Ip to serve as album producer. Of course, LoLo’s best partner, lyricist wife Susan Tang, also gave soul to six of the songs. The other two songs were written by famous lyricists Zhou Yiu Fai and Chen Yongqian. The “Together As One” album was officially launched on December 15.
“Together As One” is a seamless work of a golden combination. Although it has encountered the ups and downs of the epidemic in the past few years, it has recorded a rare and perfect musical journey. “Together As One” is a clear spring that cleanses the soul, blooming the truth, goodness and beauty of music. It will definitely be your and my annual choice. The eight songs are: Lu Guanting x Lam Ka-him “Two people sitting opposite each other on the train”, Lu Guanting x Mak Junlong “melody.” Story》, Vincent Lo x Lam Zixiang (123 years old), Vincent Lo x Chan Kit Ling (Prayer), Vincent Lo x Lui Fang (I Love Me), Vincent Lo x Ning-Ye Shun (Wonderful Evidence), Vincent Lo x Lee Chung-shing (The Source of Life) and Koon-ting Lo x Tai Chi Band “Half a Cigarette”.
Lin Ka-him said that when recording “Two People Sitting on the Train”: “Normally when I record, it’s like I’m in my own bedroom, very naked, but when I record with LoLo, I immediately have to put on more clothes. Generally speaking, I don’t dare to reveal myself too much or use my usual interpretation method. At the same time, I also spent a lot of time to figure out how to interpret this song appropriately.” Lu Guanting and Lin Jiaqian were sitting opposite each other on the same train. Standing, looking at the scenery along the way outside the car window, under the same sky, LoLo was watching the sunset, but Lin Jiaqian was watching the sunrise, in very different directions. That contrast made Lin Jiaqian rethink the content of the song, and at what level he should perform it , go see the world. Juno Mak’s acquaintance with Lu Guanting was due to their film collaboration, but he believes that it is only Susan Tang Shuchen who can isolate the connection point between him and LoLo this time. In the end, Susan really cleverly captured the vast emotions of the two creators in the brewing process, and achieved “Melody. Story> This is a non-love song with an unusual topic.
Among them, Lin Zixiang said that LoLo is a singer-songwriter who can write, sing and know how to express himself. There are few in the world today, so we must cherish him. The two sang about life, friendship, and self. “123 Years Old” is a happy song with a light style. Lin Zixiang especially likes the melody of the chorus composed by LoLo. Chen Jieling has always admired LoLo’s music. After revisiting LoLo’s work “The Love of a Lifetime” at Karen Mok’s concert a few years ago, she became deeply fascinated again. LoLo once told her that singing requires the right time, location, and harmony, and she wanted to see if there was a chance. This time “Prayer” finally made the two of them connect.
Lu Fang feels honored to have the opportunity to sing with LoLo, and Lu Fang’s performance method this time is different from the past. He rarely sings such light-hearted works as “I Love Me”. The content of the song is also quite special. It expresses how a public figure can treat himself well when he encounters some pressure from public opinion. This is a brand new attempt by Lu Fang. Among the eight music units, Yoyo said she accepted the invitation to sing this chorus without having heard the “Wonderful Evidence” demo. She trusted LoLo’s judgment on musicality. When she heard this song, she felt like it was a piece of clothing that made her feel snug and comfortable. Yoyo realized the shock of what LoLo often said, “Connect the sky and the earth.” “These words are actually very shocking! Sometimes when adults tell you, just write it down first. It’s up to you to understand it one day.” Blessing.”
Brother Li Zongsheng congratulated LoLo on the release of his album via video. Lu Guanting has always felt like a warm person to him, and said that after so many years, it is natural that their works have more life experience, and this time they sang “Life” The Source> allows everyone to communicate with each other again, which is a very beautiful thing. More than thirty years ago, Li Zongsheng was deeply moved by LoLo’s melody and Tang Shuchen’s lyrics. Today, they are equally touching and heart-warming. Being able to collaborate with LoLo this time has allowed Tai Chi to regain a lot of feelings about recording when he was young. It is a rare and honorable thing. “Half a Cigarette” was co-written by Lu Guanting, Joey and Patrick. It is rock and roll with a flavor of vicissitudes of life, and Joey Tang’s guitar playing is also full of nostalgia.Return to Sohu to see more
