Chet Lam Yat-fung proves with his latest Cantonese-language album, The Soundtrack of Our Lives, that he is Hong Kong's leading singer- songwriter, capable of conveying a wide range of feelings on relationships and life in a touching and entertaining manner.

Unlike most Canto-pop songs, which lack genuine emotions and original ideas, Lam's music is rich in content. Each song on his album touches on a distinctive topic, including issues that are dark and melancholic.

But Lam's feathery voice and thoughtful lyrics put a fresh and humorous perspective on grave subjects such as death (Dear Death) and solitude (Me and My Shadow), imparting strength and courage to face the unbearable.
