Hello everyone, my name is Taco.
Today, let me introduce to you a niche Hong Kong female singer~
AGA (江海佳) is a new generation female singer in Hong Kong. She represents the latest music power in Hong Kong, but has always been ignored. She is also the most popular One of the Hong Kong singers who underestimates .
AGA was born into a musical family. Her father is a Spanish musician, and her mother from the Philippines is proficient in piano, so she began to be exposed to music very early.
Talent is destined, and love begins from this.
As a mixed race, she also has the face of an angel, and has outstanding appearance and condition..
You can obviously rely on your appearance, but you have to rely on your talent.
AGA has written songs for Eason Chan , Wu Yufei , Hacken Lee , Fiona Sit and many other stars, including Sit Kai-chi's "Better Me", Wu Yufei's "I Do", Eason Chan's "Monologue of a Soul" and so on.
Maybe everyone has heard of many of the songs she wrote, but everyone will think this person is very strange. Even the Hong Kong media praised her as a talented singer and songwriter.
But AGA’s music path has been twists and turns.
AGA has always longed to study music abroad and become a concert pianist since he started studying music. So in order to earn enough money for tuition, she became a flight attendant.
On the road of music, she not only learned music skills from Ted Lo (Tian Tian’s third uncle) and Jacky Cheung ’s drummer Anthony, but also met Bole Shu on her own music road by chance. arts.
After that, because she couldn't have both work and music, she had to give up her job as a stewardess and devote herself to her career as a singer-songwriter.
Unfortunately, two or three years after she signed as a singer, AGA did not receive any appreciation, which dealt a huge blow to her confidence.
But with the encouragement of Shu Wen and Ted Lo, she decided to continue making music.
▲ Often spent the whole night making music
Finally, with her unremitting efforts, the songs she composed were successively accepted by Zheng Rong , Hacken Li, Fiona Sit and others. Finally, her efforts paid off .
"I Do", which she composed for Wu Yufei, was appreciated by Universal Music executives and successfully signed with Universal Music.
Next, I will share some of AGA’s beautiful works ~
01
Circle
Circle is perfect. Circle is that sweet smiling face.
Circle is a dancing circle.
Turns out a circle of nostalgia.
Completely lacks perfection. It’s that sad farewell
I’m most afraid that my favorite one will never see you again
All joy comes from mourning
Round AGA - Ginadoll
Many people call AGA’s songs “one-word songs” , because many of her songs have only one title. Character. Perhaps many people feel that one person cannot summarize the entire song, but the "circle" in the song "Yuan" is closely related to the meaning of the lyrics.
A circle is a geometric figure, but it is described by AGA as a state. Circles are the sweet smiles raised in a beautiful life, and the joyfully dancing skirt also draws a circle in the air. This is a state of happiness and contentment.
"Wan", which has the same pronunciation as "Yuan" in Cantonese, expresses the opposite meaning of "Yuan", which is a sad and uncomfortable state. "End" does not mean perfection, but it is finished. After saying goodbye, the joy of the past can only remain in the memory .
And the English version of "Circle". It is "wonderful u" that is very popular on Douyin. Many people have heard this song.
Wonderful UAGA - Ginadoll
But I always feel that the Cantonese version of "Yuan" is better to listen to, because the Cantonese lyrics give us a flavor that allows us to think, and the Cantonese words are more beautiful when paired with a moving melody.
Of course, the song "wonderful u" already has 200,000+ comments on NetEase Cloud, while AGA only has 120,000 Weibo fans. Does this further confirm that this is indeed a niche girl with treasures? Singer .

Orphan
Loveless people make the right orphan
Temporarily go through the ups and downs
We are not alone in the sea of suffering
At least we have relied on each other
Shuttle on the sidewalk
Humming for you by the side
You will never be an orphan
Orphan AGA - Luna
This is A song by and Eason Chan praised .
Orphan, the original meaning is a young bird that has lost its mother. In this song, it refers to lovelorn people who form a pair to comfort each other, just like a pair of little birds that have lost their mother, hugging each other for warmth and relying on each other for life.
Although it is a sad love song, it can give the best comfort to people who are emotionally hurt.

What is love
What is love
Rumor is a lifelong contribution
Looking back on the first date, I will blush
Only look at the advantages of love
And with the illusion of shyness, you have a great insight and have used it for ten years. The candid group photo of
shows the two people still giggling.
What is love? Hacken Lee; AGA - Hacken Lee, I am Hacken
This is a song written by AGA for Hacken Lee. It views love from the perspective of young boys and girls. I have to say that this is another song. Great songs that have been overlooked.
The simple accompaniment at the beginning brought out Hacken Lee's recognizable voice. When it came to the second verse, AGA's female voice came out. The whole song was like a boy and a girl discussing love. is very It is heart-warming and very close to life, making people feel immersed in it..

3AM
I hope there will be no tug and entanglement
The story remains the same
But recently I feel so guilty that I have insomnia
We cannot escape this situation
Do you know that I really want to go back to my favorite day with you
Do you know that I really want to go back and stay By your side
It’s a pity that I accidentally broke the love thread
Falling in love has become a bad joke, no matter how you act, it’s all natural
3AMAGA;Ghost Style - 3AM
In a false love, is it more uncomfortable to be together reluctantly than to be separated? The song is a 90s R&B style that AGA likes, but it is a rare singing style of AGA.
This song adds Japanese elements to the American style, making it sound very trendy. At the same time, an English Rap monologue in the middle of the song also makes the song unique.
This song also helped AGA win awards and get soft. Its MV has exceeded 3 million views on the Internet and became one of the top ten local music videos of the year.

一
Looking and searching why I can’t find
Why is there endless loneliness in the odd number
Desirable is always the hardest to embrace
Admiration without seeing the answer
Being helpless with my partner is always half a step away
一AGA - ONE
The song "One" The song is similar to "Yuan", both are "one-word songs" with AGA characteristics.
The same goes for "One". At the beginning of the song, several "one"s bring out the first few words, A grain of sand, a flower, a star, and a trace of smoke are all the beginning of loneliness, looking for After a long time, I still can't get a perfect ending.
However, Lin Ruoning's lyrics and AGA's music once again achieved a perfect combination.
Many people say that the Hong Kong music scene has deteriorated in recent years, and many people do not recognize it.
A few decades ago, any single singer would be considered a superstar. Now, any single singer can only be considered a niche singer.
The most touching moment of a song, may not be sung all over the streets, but it can touch the most sensitive nerve in your body and reach the depths of your inner soul.
Although the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra does not have many songs appearing in every corner of the streets, there will always be a certain singer or a certain song that touches your heart.
