Jill Vidal ft. San E – Being Told Chinese MV

June 20, 2016

Hong Kong based British singer Jill Vidal is making her comeback, six years after her drug scandal in 2009. She was found guilty for drugs possession in Japan but escaped prison time. Her rising showbiz career was badly affected though.

Vidal was only semi-active since the scandal until signing with Warner Music HK in 2015. She released a new single, titled Being Told (被滿足的愛), in May 2016. She went to Seoul to record the song which featured popular Korean rapper San E.

It’s actually a decent song. There’s clear K-pop elements and it sounds different from standard Cantopop, which may be a good thing since Cantopop is going nowhere these days. This could just be the song she needs for a reboot.

Fala Chen – Cosmopolitan Hong Kong

Chinese actress Fala Chen in February 2016 issue of Cosmopolitan Magazine in Hong Kong. The 33-year-old is taking a break from acting to study on her postgraduate degree in Juilliard – one of the world’s leading drama, music and dance schools – in New York.

This photo shoot is a rare public feature since late 2014. She’s likely to return to showbiz after her graduation (in 2018 if things go smoothly). It’s not clear whether she will be back to Hong Kong or try her luck in other places instead. She will probably branch out into directing too.
