CotaiArena, Aug 22, 8pm
Canto-pop diva Sandy Lam Yik-lin will take her fans on a trip down memory lane with her biggest hits during her gig at Macau's CotaiArena.
The local singer, who launched her career as a part-time DJ at Commercial Radio at the age of 16 and later signed to Sony in 1985, has released more than 30 solo albums sung in Cantonese, Putonghua, English and Japanese. During her career, Lam (right) has transformed from a teenager singing up-tempo Japanese-style songs to a renowned R&B and progressive artist.
The release of her Wildflower album in 1991 triggered an unplugged craze in the Canto-pop music scene. Lam's fame then spread to Taiwan with the release of her debut Putonghua single, Homes Again Without You, in the same year, putting her in the charts among top Taiwanese singers.
Her romantic relationship with Taiwanese composer and producer Jonathan Lee Chung-shan also flourished around 1995 when the singer paired up with Lee to put out her fourth Putonghua album, Love, which went on to become one of the best-selling Chinese-language albums. Lam and Lee tied the knot in 1998. Lam gave birth to their daughter in the same year. To look after her child, Lam put her singing career on hold for two years.
She returned to the music scene with hit single At Least I've Got You in 2000, the single topping the KTV chart for eight months. Lam also appeared as a cast member of Andrew Lloyd Webber's concert, Masterpiece, alongside Broadway star Elaine Paige in September 2001.
