My Take

Anthony Wong is an artist I find irresistibly hard to pin down. As the voice of Tat Ming Pair he helped electrify 1980s Hong Kong, yet what draws me in is his refusal to play it safe, collaborating with avant-garde theatre even while sitting at the center of mainstream Cantopop. Keeping that sharp aesthetic intact inside a pop machine is genuinely cool to me. Later turning to production and championing new talent shows a generosity that complements his own artistry. He feels inseparable from Hong Kong's own restless spirit, and I have a real soft spot for performers who simply will not be tamed.

Overview
