Moviegoers who enjoyed the musical Perhaps Love will find the soundtrack a full-bodied, romantic listening experience, thanks to touching performances by Canto-pop king Jacky Cheung Hok-yau and mainland actress Zhou Sun.
The tracks were written by Hong Kong composers Peter Kam Pui-tat and Leon Ko, with the exception of the ballad Wai Mian De Shi Jie by Taiwanese singer-songwriter Chi Chin.
Cheung's strong vocals are a valuable asset to the film and the soundtrack. Apart from his outstanding interpretation of the title song Perhaps Love, Cheung's duet with South Korean actor Ji Jin-hee in the operatic Fate and his solo performance in the heart-breaking You Do Love Me give the story a larger-than-life quality.
Zhou may lack the range of a diva, but her soft, heartfelt vocals are filled with emotions.
The CD package includes English translations of the Chinese
lyrics for international audiences and a set of beautiful postcards for movie buffs.
