Mok back in record time

After a year's delay, singer-actress Karen Mok Man-wai is finally releasing her latest record.

'I'm excited and nervous,' Mok said in Taipei earlier this week, while promoting the new album, If Without You, on radio. 'I haven't released an album for so long. I'm so touched that my new songs can finally be released.'

The album is due to go on sale on April 7. It's her first in three years. Mok (right) said the recording was originally scheduled to be released last year. But because of a busy schedule - which included the Asia tour of Broadway musical Rent - she didn't have time to finish and promote it.
