Kay Tse (Traditional Chinese: 謝安琪 / Simplified Chinese: 谢安琪) (born March 13… Read Full Bio ↴Kay Tse (Traditional Chinese: 謝安琪 / Simplified Chinese: 谢安琪) (born March 13, 1977) is a Hong Kong pop singer. She was a newcomer to the music industry in 2005, and is known for her versatile vocal range and styles, including pop, alternative, rock, jazz, and soul. Since 2008, she has become one of the most popular and critically acclaimed female Hong Kong singers.
In 2002, whilst still a university student majoring in American Studies at the University of Hong Kong, Kay Tse entered a university singing competition and won First Prize. She also entered an inter-schools singing competition in 2003 and made the final five, impressing one of the judges so much that he offered her a professional contract with his small music label. At the time she was working as a piano teacher.
Tse's debut Cantonese album "Kay One" was released on May 6, 2005 to an unsuspecting Hong Kong public. The album includes 2 non-Cantonese songs, an English version of 《我歌…故我在》 ("The One and Only") and a Mandarin version of 《姿色份子》named "Plastic Roses" (《塑膠玫瑰》).
Initially, due to the dearth of love songs in her albums, Tse was not popular in the mainstream Cantopop market. Nevertheless, many music industry insiders have tipped her singing ability to have big potential (despite her plain looks) and regard her as one of a new breed of 'non-idol' singers who sell their singing ability rather than their looks.
Tse had several hits in 2005. These include the songs:
《姿色份子》, a fast catchy pop tune mocking the Asian dieting trend;
《我歌…故我在》, a slow ballad expressing a singer's feelings on the stage;
《臭男人》, a funky song that makes fun of different types of men;
《開卷快樂》, a fast Jazz song satirizing the tabloid magazines;
《跟我走》, an encouraging, grateful song accompanied by a touching music video to thank her loyal fans who like and follow her music even though she doesn't release many love songs to cater to the mainstream.
On January 1, 2006, Tse won the Bronze Award for CRHK 2005 Best Newcomer, along with Ivana Wong and Janice Vidal who won Silver and Gold respectively.
Despite not appearing in public for most of 2007 for maternal leave, Tse was still one of the top three female singers with the most airplay on the radio.
In 2008, 囍帖街 sung by Kay Tse became the undisputed Cantonese song of the year and has won almost every major award in several categories (including best song, best melody, best lyrics, and best album) for that year in Hong Kong, China, and overseas. Thus, Kay Tse also won the coveted Hong Kong Four Stations Media Award for being the artist who won the most awards in 2008. Consequently, her popularity rose sharply and she has since become one of the top female Hong Kong singers in just a few years.
In 2010 and 2013, Tse released Mandarin albums targeting mainland China and Taiwan markets. She is one of the few newcomers in the 21st century to successfully reach audiences outside of her native Hong Kong, and is now considered one of the top artists from China/Hong Kong region for both Mandarin and Cantonese songs. She was runner-up in a China national singing contest. She once represented China/HK in an Asia-wide concert that took place in South Korea.
Since 2006, Tse has won the CASH Golden Sail Music Awards for best female performance four times.

第二個家
謝安琪 Lyrics
So Free 风里来 继续风里去 不停息 被剪开 世界都丢到 车厢後面去 就现在 只要和自己 再独处 这样存在 这样最极致 没在想 我…
我想 我想要快乐才流泪 天空有鸟飞 河里有水 草地没塑胶花气味 哀恸被安慰 孩子不虚伪 精神不跟物质作对 後悔被收回 情感分类…
拾年 午後的短梦 初中的初吻 唱片的年轮 没生根 流行过的人 时代的掌纹 关上了的门 亮起了的灯 那无处安放的青春 这一刻在回…
晚睡早起 我终於 可以徒手飞行 但是闹钟准时将梦喊停 热咖啡 让灵魂泡个热水浴 自动点击 太阳又升起 冲锋陷阵 这都市丛林 突然想…
第二個家 我脆弱 像泡沫碰泡沫 被戳破 我陷落 像漩渦的漩渦 絞碎但活著 不斷在剝落 有個我被吞沒 我脆弱 像薄膜擠薄膜 快壓破 …
脆弱 我脆弱 像泡沫碰泡沫 被戳破 我陷落 像漩涡的漩涡 绞碎但活着 不断在剥落 有个我被吞没 我脆弱 像薄膜挤薄膜 快压破 …
