HK After The 80's Diva

I use to follow the music scene in HK during the 80's. It started with Anita Mui. I suppose not one single PLU/trans (who listens to Chinese music during 80's) was not a fan. Then there was Sandy Lam, what a mesmerizing voice. I was never a fan of Sally Yeah, although she was also a diva then. After that it was all about Faye Wong for me. She just became the ultimate trend-setter for Chinese artists then, introducing alternative vocals and tunes, querky and unique fashion senses, absolutely adored her.

Then it all faded. HK's music industry went down the drains for me. Their artists went from bad to worse. 90% of them can't even sing live. Songs were all monotonous. I stopped following their music since then, only holding on to Faye's Mandarin albums which were actually produced in China anyway, not HK.
Then after so many years, finally came Ivana Wong 王菀之. A friend introduced her to me as he knew I would love her similar vocals to Faye. And he was right, I started collecting all Ivana's albums.

What's great about Ivana is, she is a great composer as well. She writes all her songs and also for other artists. She started to gain popularity after singing 'I Am Really Hurt' (我真的受傷了) with Jacky Cheung during his concert. That song was also written by her.
