SP Entertainment singers Hyper Lo, AJ and Josie Ho are set to release their newly composed song for the Rui Cunha Foundation, “Paradise” in early August.
The singers shot the new music video in the city of Pattaya at the Cartoon Network Amazone Waterpark Thailand.
Lyricist Hyper Lo said the song name in Chinese “Lok I Mong Fan” is designed to be reminiscent of Dr Cunha’s Chinese name pronunciation.
The lyrics describe the dream catching process as an unforgettable journey and it aims to encourage the young generation to go for their dreams without hesitation.
Hyper Lo noted that local singers’ works are receiving additional recognition by local associations and companies.
Lo believes that “Paradise” can help Macau residents to better understand the Rui Cunha Foundation and bring out the founder’s missions and objectives.
Although the group assumed that shooting in the Cartoon Network themed waterpark would be troublesome due to the probable “license issues,” AJ claimed that the waterpark was very supportive.
“To be honest, we are nobody to them maybe because we’re just known locally and in Hong Kong. But in Thailand we don’t have any kind of level of fame but they were still very supportive,” he stressed.
Meanwhile Josie Ho told the Times that the group is pleased with the invitation of the foundation, as she believes it is the first time local singers have shot a music video abroad.
“We really hope to bring something fresh to the Macau audience. There’s nothing like this before,” she said.
Ho also noted that local organizations and firms have been supporting the music industry despite the economic recession the region has faced.
She revealed that in the past, most enterprises would only hire Hong Kong or international artists to participate in the companies’ events.
The trio, along with other local singers, are planning to launch another album. According to Josie Ho, local organizations, companies and the government have sponsored the recording of tracks that are planned to be released this year.
“We want to show that the industry has a market. It’s worthy of investment,” she said, calling on local organizations to make use of talented local artists.
