Louis Koo returns to music scene in duet with Kay Tse
HONG KONG: Louis Koo is back in the music industry, and it’s all thanks to Kay Tse and Juno Mak.
The concept of Kay Tse successful 2018 music comeback centres around a movie. In the past year, she created the characters Tung Chit and Po Ming-sam, intertwining their characters into her singles “A Wife’s Deceptive Art”, “Brave, Valiant·17”, as well as “One Woman and a Bathroom”.
Produced by Juno Mak, Kay’s latest plug for her upcoming album is a surprising one — it includes the comeback of Louis Koo into the music industry, singing a duet with Kay for the remix of “One Woman and a Bathroom.” Louis’ collaboration in the single was hinted in the music video, which featured Louis’ voice.
In the remix “(One Man) One Woman and a Bathroom”, Louis plays Kay’s second husband Lam Ting-ling.
On his big comeback to the music industry, Louis said his collaboration with Kay and Juno started after he completed the filming of Juno’s self-directed film ‘Sons of the Neon Night’’.
“As a member of the entertainment industry, it is very important to be willing to take one step out of your comfort zone and try something different,” said Louis. “If you want a new page, take the initiative to be creative and don’t be afraid of being taken advantage.”
In the past, Louis has released hit singles “Boyfriend” and “On Trend”, which still occasionally return to the music charts. Louis laughed and said, “Singing isn’t my forte, but ‘One Man’ is not just a pop song. It is an entire story. There are memories, and I sang as my character Lam Ting-ling. It is a performance. There’s a story, like a film. This is why I’ve decided to try it out. If a film adaptation does get made, I’ll look forward to it.”
Kay remarked that recording of “One Man” went successfully, and jokingly suggested Louis that they should do some live gigs together. Louis immediately said, “I can do anything, just don’t make me sing live! There are no repeats of lyrics in this song. Just holding the mic would give me a lot of stress!”
