Joey Yung plans to comeback with a bang

A disappointed Joey Yung has failed to clinch the 2008 Most Popular Artist Award at this year’s Hong Kong Jade Solid Gold award ceremony, which honours the best of the Chinese music industry of the previous year. Had she won the prestigious nod, it would have been her sixth trophy and smash the late Anita Mui’s record of a five-year winning streak. Instead, she lost to rival singer Miriam Yeung, and went home with the 2008 Asia Pacific Most Popular Hong Kong Artist Award.
Eager to bounce back from this failure, the Hong Kong singer-actress is currently focusing all her attention on penetrating the Mandarin music market and has been working hard promoting her upcoming Chinese album. During the filming of an upcoming music video, she was prepared to drench herself from head to toe for a breakup scene-in the rain, no less-and had no complaints about it.
In the song, “Busy”, Joey portrays a makeup artist who neglects her boyfriend due to work commitments and eventually breaks up with him. To aptly bring across the poignancy of the emotional scene, the director specifically requested for a rain shower in which Joey reminisces about her past memories with her ex. The dedicated and driven one was said to complete the entire shoot overnight.
In an earlier Cantopop album, A Time For Us, Joey managed to successfully produce two popular hit songs which received positive response from listeners. With a Chinese album in the making, and two hit songs in her pocket, she might be able to reclaim her 2009 winning title at next year’s awards and begin another row of continuous wins.
