New song
As Linda Chung promised last week, her new song has just premiered on the radio today. Possibly the first single off her upcoming LP slated for release on August 20, the song is a remake of a song sung by very successful and popular Taiwanese Mandopop singer Jolin Tsai. Linda’s new song “World of Two People” [二人世界] is the Cantonese version of Jolin’s “Street of Love” [愛上了一條街] which was released back in 2000.

Please note: The song is ripped from the radio, so the quality is bad.

What do you guys think of the song?

When I first listened to the song, I thought it sounded weird and didn’t like it. The melody isn’t nice and there isn’t a catchy hook or chorus like in Linda’s previous songs. My favorite part of the song is probably when she sings “La-la-la”. Curious about what the original version sounded like, I searched for the song on YouTube. After listening to Jolin’s version, I think Linda did a good rendition of the song. Still, it doesn’t change my mind that it is my least favorite Linda song.

I’m really hoping that the rest of her CD is not remakes. I want new, original songs! This way Linda has freedom to sing as she wants and doesn’t have to worry about imitating the previous singer’s vocals. Furthermore, it’s just fresher to hear “new” songs. I’m disappointed with this song. Here’s hoping that the rest of her songs are a lot better…

New series
Despite launching her music career, Linda will not be taking a break from TVB.

After the great results of this year’s A Journey Called Life, Producer Leung is reuniting the three main cast for a brand new series. In August, Kent Cheng, Steven Ma, and Linda Chung will be filming new series [有狗出更] translated as “With Dogs on the Beat”. The series is a cop drama. Steven’s role is different and refreshing. Although he will be the protagonist, his role is a “villainous” protagonist. Finally, we won’t see Steven as a 100% good guy as we have been in the past few years.

Just like Steven, Linda’s role is also unlike her previous roles. Continuing to strengthen and prove her versatility in acting, Linda’s new role is a girl who is unkempt. She doesn’t know how to take care of herself and is messy. She only has “big dreams” and doesn’t function too well realistically. Linda has been waiting for a role like this and thinks she will be able to perform the role well because she herself used to be the same way. Before she came to Hong Kong and lived on her own, she didn’t know how to be independent. It is only slowly through the years that she’s been in Hong Kong that she was able to “grow up” and learn how to take care of herself and things. In the series, Linda will be filming with animals; she thinks it will be cute.

Linda is currently creating a new look for herself [for the role]. She always has long hair, which gives people the impression that she’s a “good girl”. While she doesn’t refute this impression, she just wants to give everyone a refreshing look. She doesn’t know what new hairstyle she will have yet, but she thinks it should be cute.

I have clashing views on this series.

On the one hand, I’m thrilled that Steven & Linda are reuniting for the third time. The chemistry will be even better. I’m also excited about their individual roles. On the other hand, I’m iffy about the storyline. I’m praying that there aren’t going to be talking dogs. The theme of animals reminds of upcoming When a Dog Loves a Cat. Someone told me that this series sounds like Man’s Best Friend (with Louis Koo, Jessica Hsuan, and Sammi Cheng) because of the use of dogs and police. I really don’t know what the storyline for this series is going to be about and I’m not exactly a fan of cop dramas, therefore I’m not excited about the “series” itself.

I’ll wait for more news about this series before I say or think anything else.
