Language switch for pop star

SINGER Winnie Lau Siu-wei aims to get a slice of the Asian market with her first album in Mandarin.

The debut album titled Thank You for Loving Me was released last week in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, Korea and China simultaneously.

The album's theme song Thank You for Loving Me, was originally a hit Japanese love song Homeless Kid.

Her new album is a collection of tender love songs produced by Taiwanese Lin Luen-suen.

He also wrote a song, Rely On Your Deep Love, especially for Lau.

'I was happy to release my first Mandarin album in six countries at the same time. It was a remarkable experience for me,' Lau said at her album launch press conference via video conferencing in Taiwan.
