My Take
There's a particular wistfulness in Linda Wong's voice that draws me in. Born in Hong Kong in 1968 and raised in Taiwan, she shone brightest in the 1990s, with her signature song Don't Ask Who I Am sounding emotive from the title alone. She also breathed new life into covers like Karl Keaton's I Remember, revealing a real gift for reinterpreting other people's material. As an actor, singer and recording artist, her range was wide. What captivates me most is her identity as a cultural border-crosser, singing across Hong Kong and Taiwan. For listeners who lived through her peak, her voice surely revives an entire era.
