Music career
[edit]2014–2019: Start of composing career
[edit]Lam entered the music industry in 2014 as a songwriter withChet Lam's help.[10]They met at a university singing competition where Chet Lam was a guest performer. Chet Lam liked Terence Lam's work, and they signed an agreement to have the latter write songs for the former.[11]Lam subsequently signed a contract withWarner Music Groupto be a composer, where at one point, he was composing one song a week for the company.[11]The singerPakho Chau's 2014 song "About Us" (Chinese:Về chúng ta) was the first of Lam's compositions to achieve commercial success.[12]"About Us" was Lam's fifth or sixthdemo.[12]His composition of theJWsong "A Lifetime of Contradictions" (Chinese:Mâu thuẫn cả đời) was the first to be widely noticed.[13]JW's singing of "A Lifetime of Contradiction", which received over 18 million views, revitalised her previously flagging career.[14]Lam subsequently finished two more songs for JW: "How Many Years" (Chinese:Nhiều ít năm) and "Free to Soar" (Chinese:Tự do bay lượn).[11][13]When he began composing songs, Lam was a huge fan of the Taiwanese singerYoga Linand Lam sent him a message with demos of songs he had composed on social media.[15]Lin performed some of Lam's songs which led to the two forming a strong bond.[13]Songs composed by Lam that were sung by Lin include "Bad and Worse" (Chinese:Hư cùng tệ hơn), which was Lin's first Cantonese song, and "Do Not Forget You" (Chinese:Chớ quên ngươi).[13][15]In 2016 and 2017, Lam received the composer award atRTHK's "Top Ten Chinese Gold Songs Award" ceremony.[8]
According toHK01,he has collaborated with most of Hong Kong's singers who are currently active in the industry.[10]He has written songs for the singersCharmaine Fong,[10]Pakho Chau,[10]JW,[10]Alfred Hui,[10]Jason Chan,[10]Joey Yung,Hins Cheung,[10]Janice Vidal,[10]andEman Lam.[13]Lam composed Joey Yung's song "The Science of Heart" (Chinese:Tâm chi khoa học), which received anUltimate 903award in 2018.[10][13]Lam composed Hong Kong singerMiriam Yeung's song "Cherie Yu" (Chinese:Dư xuân kiều),Eman Lam's song "Love Is A French Dessert" (Chinese:Tình yêu là một loại nước Pháp đồ ngọt),[12]and Taiwanese singerRainie Yang's "Showing One's Incompetence" (Chinese:Bêu xấu),[11]Alfred Hui's "Single" (Chinese:Số lẻ),[3]andHins Cheung's "Diving" (Chinese:Lặn xuống nước).[5]It takes him roughly one day to write a song.[2]With his elder brother, he manages a musicproduction company.[10]His duties include making new music available for purchase and forradio broadcasts.[10]He established Terence Lam Production & Company to assist him in retaining the copyright over his compositions.[12]
2019: Start of singing career
[edit]In 2019,[3]he began his singing career after participating in a singing contest.[10][16]That year, he did a Mandarin duet for a movie theme song withJCof the song "Lost In Love" (Chinese:Như ảnh tùy tâm), which sparked his desire to do more singing.[10][12]In January 2019, he released the song "NEXT" (Chinese:Tiếp theo vị trước độ), the first song that made him well-known as a singer.[11]The song hit several major charts.[3]Lam collaborated withChristopher Chak on the song's composition.[11]Chak suggested includingvocal musicandinversionin the piece which demonstrated Lam's musical abilities.[11]In 2019, Lam wrote and sang the songs "just carry on" and "Listen to Wind" (Chinese:Nghe phong), the latter of which he also arranged.[17]The two songs did not receive as much as attention as "NEXT".[11]For "just carry on", Lam said that the song likens people to flowers that bloom at different times. Its message is that people do not need to compare themselves with each other.[18]The song's music video features four new actors includingRachel LeungandWill Orto accompany Lam in acting various scenes of people being in a "collapsed state".[18]As Lam had trouble acting in the scenes, the directors needed to have everyone leave before filming his parts.[18]
Lam composed fewer songs in 2019 than he did in previous years as he was adjusting to becoming a performer and as his energies were focused on promoting his work and planning.[19]He composed two or three songs that year.[11]During the 2019 Ultimate Song Chart Awards hosted byCommercial Radio Hong Kong,Lam received the best new artist award.[10]
2020:Major in Minorand "Terence's Adventures in Wonderland"
[edit]![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/09/Jace_Chan_and_Terence_Lam_in_an_am730_interview_on_6_October_2020.png/220px-Jace_Chan_and_Terence_Lam_in_an_am730_interview_on_6_October_2020.png)
In 2020, he released a favourably reviewed song titled "In a Funk" (Chinese:Liều mạng không việc gì), which detailed alove rectangle.Owing to its topic, rhythm, and melody, listeners considered it a sequel to his previous song "NEXT".[13]The song's lyrics were written byAlbert Leung.[20]"Solitude" (Chinese:Một người chi cảnh), the next song he released, was "widely acclaimed".[13]The song's lyrics expounded on the loneliness common in life and came at a particularly timely moment during theCOVID-19 pandemicwhen people weresocial distancing.[13]Lam wrote the lyrics, composed, arranged the music, and produced the song.[21]He had composed the song as an unused demo five or six years prior to its release and reused it for himself to sing.[22]Hong Kong Economic Timesreviewer Chan Ka Yin found the song reminded herself as a woman in her 40s to spend more personal time on herself and do more introspection.[21]Writing inThe Loop,music critic Yannie Chan said "Solitude" "features an addictive melody and meaningful lyrics celebrating the art of enjoying time by yourself".[23]
In May 2020, Lam released his firstextended playtitledMajor in Minor.[13]The name "Major in Minor" comes from listeners' experiencing contradictory sensations when hearing Lam's songs. His motivational song might make people feel a tinge of sadness, while his sad song might make them feel inspired. The name also is inspired by how Lam is making mainstream music as an independent musician.[24]Lam spent in the six figures to self-finance the EP.[4]After the EP sold out in less than two weeks, Lam decided not to release additional copies, which made the EP go out of print.[24]His decision was because he didn't want additional copies to make his work sell poorly and as a result have to be sold at a discount.[25]This led to sales on online auction companies to reach several thousand dollars.[13]The EP was released with two covers: one in blue and one in orange.[25]One website offered to sell both versions of Lam's EP at HKD$2,800 (US$360.36), which was a tenfold increase from the original price.[25]Lam initially had reservations about making the EP as he was uncertain about whether people would still buy physical copies of albums.[24]Furthermore, his songs were usually about different topics, leading him to be uncertain about how to tie the songs together.[24][26]After he heard from his fans that his songs had many common characteristics, he within a month took his five most recent compositions, added hisdemocover of "Solitude", and composed some simple music to connect them together to create the EP.[24][26]He inserted "after the party" before "Solitude" so that the audience could experience the bustling sensation of a party.[24]The album's other songs are "NEXT", "just carry on", "Listen to Wind", and "In a Funk".[27]He made an agreement with the music platformJooxto releaseMajor in Minorunder its Joox Original project.[24]The platform had an exclusive licence to stream the album.[24]SPILLmusic critic Fan Wong found that "the songs were all high quality but they were inevitably lacking in freshness" since they had previously been released.[27]Lam's songs "NEXT" and "just carry on" have "unexpected, staggered notes and hard-to-touch beats", which critic Wong said have become Lam's trademark.[27]His songs "Listen to Wind" and "In a Funk" made Wong think of thesophisti-popgenre in making people ponder and have feelings of refinement.[27]
In the later half of 2020, Lam released the song "Terence's Adventures in Wonderland" (Chinese:Terence mộng du tiên cảnh). The song has ascalewith a 24-noterange. With a fast tempo and playful tone, it is much faster than Lam's typical slow-paced songs.[13]HK01compared the song's main character, Terence, toAlicefrom the children's novelAlice's Adventures in Wonderland.[28]The song describes how Terence encounters witches and snow beasts upon entering a dream world. The witches tell him that those who exist in the dream world are people who cannot live in a sober world. He sings and parties with the villagers. After waking up, he cannot rediscover the descending stairs that took him to the dream world. He takes out a pen to record the song he had sung with the villagers.[28]For the music video, Lam took the unconventional approach of hiring the illustrator The Odd Little World and the animator Sundae Service to animate Terence's adventures in the dream world.[28]AnHK01music critic said that while Lam's previous songs largely had a pessimistic theme, "Terence's Adventures in Wonderland" is "a breakthrough" in being different and "proves that he can cater to the market and to the public while insisting on his own style".[28]
Lam performed a live in-studio duet of the song "Quarantine" (Chinese:Cách ly) withJace Chan.[5]On 13 November 2020, Lam released "Turning Back the Clock in One Sentence" (Chinese:Thời gian chảy ngược một câu.[29]The song's theme is regret and it is influenced by a 1980s atmosphere. It received more than a million views in less than half a month.[13]In 2020, he composed two songs forEason Chan:"A Dance for Tomorrow" (Chinese:Trí ngày mai vũ) and "Love Casually, Randomly" (Chinese:Là nhưng cầu này ái).[13]Regarding the latter song, which Lam produced, Chan praised Lam for his unconventional composition and for using atromboneinstead of atrumpet.[30]When Lam was at the early stage as a composer, Lam sent his music demos to Chan even though at the time the two were not acquainted. Following an encounter at a private party, they started talking again in 2017.[31]
2021–present: Ultimate Song Chart and Chill Club awards
[edit]During the 2020 Ultimate Song Chart Awards hosted on 1 January 2021, Lam received the bronze award for best male singer as well as the best composer award. He ranked among the top five in the fan-voted "My Favourite Male Singer" award, whichKeung Towon.[13]During the awards ceremony, Lam played the guitar and sang his song "Terence's Adventures in Wonderland".[32]In contrast to most of the other male attendees who woresuits,Lam wore a less formalMike Amiri"multicolour souvenir patchwork hoodie" and aPaul Smithshirt with colourful striped patterns to match his performance that night of his song "Terence's Adventures in Wonderland", to make it easier to play the guitar, and to make himself more comfortable and relaxed.[33]As an independent artist, he chooses his own outfits to wear at award ceremonies instead of relying on a team to help him with the decisions.[33]After Lam's awards at the 2020 Ultimate Song Chart Awards,U Lifestylecalled Lam "the fastest rising male singer in Hong Kong's music scene".[13]Owing to the COVID-19 pandemic, Lam had a lower income and fewer performing opportunities so he had more time to compose songs.[34]In January 2021, three of Lam's songs ranked inKKBox's top 20 ranking of songs streamed on the platform: "Solitude" ranked third, "In a Funk" ranked 13th, and "Quarantine" ranked 14th.[35]In March 2021, while the pro-democracy supporterVentus LauwasincarceratedatStanley Prison,Lau listened to Lam's songs and worked on rewriting the songs' lyrics.[36]In April 2021, he rewrote the lyrics of Lam's most recent song, "The Magical Confused Potion" (Chinese:Thần kỳ hồ đồ ma dược).[37]
At theViuTVChill Club Awards ceremony on 18 April 2021, Lam received six awards including for his song "Solitude" as the best song.[38]He also received awards for best composer, best arranger and best male singer.[21][39]When Lam went on the stage, no one was there to present the award to him, and he said "you get the award yourself, very casual".[38]Lam was poker-faced and was reluctant to give speeches after receiving the awards.[38]His behaviour at the award ceremony led critics to call him "arrogant" and "disrespectful", and to question why he became a singer instead of remaining a behind-the-scenes composer.[38]Lam's supporters responded that he was very introverted and like many other entertainers were at a loss for words in prominent settings.[38]A day after the awards ceremony, he released a statement thanking ViuTV and his fans, saying "there is a lot of room for learning and improvement in expressing myself".[38]In April 2021, Lam performed as a featured singer atRonald Cheng's concert.[40]
Artistry
[edit]Lam's songs are in the traditional genres ofpop musicandCantopopthough he puts his own twist on his songs through tempo changes and melody trends.[27]He "takes the Cantopop route through and through, making it friends and unique".[27]Lam expressed interest in making an album of Mandarin songs. He said that if he could get non-Cantonese speakers to become his fans, they might listen to his Cantonese songs too. Lam referenced as an exampleEason Chan,who released Mandarin songs that attracted a substantial Taiwanese fanbase who listened to his Cantonese songs too.[24]
Before he entered the music industry, Lam did not receive a formal singing education.[2]He did not take singing lessons because he thought of singing as a way to express the performer's emotions and that it would not be ideal if everyone learned to sing in the same way.[2]Lam said that owing to his lack of music training, he might not be a technically strong singer.[2]He felt that did not matter as much if he were able to emotionally inspire his listeners.[2]He initially did not plan to become a singer as he wanted to experience being a creator who worked behind the scenes.[10]
Although Lam signed an agreement with a record label for the music he composes, for his singing, Lam remains as anindependent musicianwho has not signed with arecord labelortalent manager.[10][11]He enjoyed the freedom in being able to make songs in his own way without considering other people's opinions. Signing with a record label would require him to make compromises.[10]He composes, arranges, and directs songs in which he is the main singer.[13]Lam is solely responsible for choosing which singers he will collaborate with next and connecting with them.[12]
Reception
[edit]K Law ofU Lifestylefound that Lam had "special timbre, an introverted singing voice, and was good at transcribing the songs with varying degrees of play".[13]am730said that Lam had "a special voice and unique and alluring vocals".[5]SPILLmusic critic Fan Wong said that Lam's critics largely focus on his singing. Wong said that although Lam is not one of the technically strongest singers, he is "not bad at all" in that area. The critic concluded that "the combination of Lam's elegant singing and his traditional yet embellished with the unconventional performance makes him so memorable".[27]AnApple Dailymusic critic said Lam has received criticism for having "a dull voice, like a robot with no emotions".[2]
