Janice is emerging as one of the new singers in Hong Kong and Asia. Her music style is a mixture of Cantopop, Jazz and R&B. She performs her songs in English, Cantonese and Mandarin and will be performing songs in Korean in the near future.
Before becoming an artist herself, Janice had always enjoyed singing. Her voice came to the attention of renowned producer Mark Lui by chance when she recorded the backing vocals for one of mega star Leon Lai's songs in 2004. Janice obviously left a favourable impression on Lui, as upon Lui's stumbling across her voice he informed Leon, who in turn decided to offer Janice a contract with AMusic (東亞唱片), a newly-formed record label where both Leon Lai and Mark Lui were major investors (Leon transferred himself to Amusic as well). As a result Janice became the first newcomer to sign for AMusic in 2004.
Belonging to the same music label as Leon Lai, Janice first caught the media's attention days after Christmas of 2004 by covering in English one of Leon's essential tunes "Unspoken Words of Deep Feelings" (情深說話未曾講) on radio. The cover song quickly become a hit. Some fans initially thought it was an overseas singer who was covering one of Leon's classic hits, but were surprised to find out the singer was an unknown Hong Kong rookie. Since it was Christmas in Hong Kong at the time, Janice's first song was swiftly followed by a Christmas version of another Leon Lai cover "不可一世" (this time in Cantonese). The Cantonese cover of "Unspoken Words of Deep Feelings" (情深說話未曾講) was aired on radio in Spring 2005 for the first time. She learned English when she was in the United States.
By April 2005, Janice had become known as a mysterious singer who sung several cover versions of Leon Lai's songs, but whose face has never been shown in public. After roughly six months of radio publicity and building public anticipation, her face was finally unveiled when her debut album "Day & Night" was released on 13 April 2005.
On 25 November of the same year, Janice released her second album "My Love", a rarity for a newcomer in Hong Hong's music industry.
In mid-December of 2005 Janice was nominated by Commercial Radio 2 for the 2005 Hong Kong Music Awards Best Female Singer, which results are due out on Jan 1, 2006. On 1 January 2006, Janice was awarded by Commercial Radio Hong Kong (CRHK) the Gold prize for 2005 Best Female Newcomer., to the delight of her fans and family.
一場誤會
衛蘭 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
似位歌手好叫坐
而平日你凝望我
這慣常一眼可殺死我
你也許疏離到不能再疏
我竟多心想太多
常期待愛情路過
至義無反顧被你教唆
我到底寂寞過剩 才謝絕冷靜
多麼想以眼淚換來同情
日日算命 如命中注定
一堆虛構溫馨
是我敏感 誤會戀愛降臨
從未發生 交不出初吻
從來沒有 情人會行近 日落黃昏
誤會你有心 日夜苦惱自尋
想得近 卻遠得過份
無聊像我 無聊當緣份 亦是吸引
我也許孤獨到熄滅了燈
覺得彼此抱得更親
戀愛妄想症 錯覺還是吸引
你我的戀情也一場錯摸
擦出火花不算多
沉迷易惹人犯錯
我愛無可愛又有錯麼
我到底寂寞過剩 才謝絕冷靜
多麼想以眼淚換來同情
日日算命 如命中注定
一堆虛構溫馨
是我敏感 誤會戀愛降臨
從未發生 交不出初吻
從來沒有 情人會行近 日落黃昏
誤會你有心 日夜苦惱自尋
想得近 卻遠得過份
無聊像我 無聊當緣份 亦是吸引
我也許孤獨到熄滅了燈
覺得彼此抱得更親
戀愛妄想症 錯覺還是吸引
The song "一場誤會" by 衛蘭 talks about unrequited love and how the singer is always misunderstood by the person she likes. She mentions how there are too many secret admirers for her crush who is like a celebrity, and how her crush looks at her in a way that can kill her with just one glance. She admits to being too sensitive and that her misunderstandings have led her to believe that her crush loves her too, causing her to constantly daydream about a romance that may never be.
The lyrics indicate the singer's loneliness and the fact that she craves compassion, shown by her desire to trade her tears for sympathy. She feels stuck in a cycle of false hope and unrealistic expectations, and complains about the little signs that have caused her to misunderstand her crush. Nevertheless, she remains optimistic about the prospect of love and longs for a romantic relationship that may or may not happen.
Overall, the song highlights the universal theme of unrequited love and the associated feelings of loneliness and heartbreak that come with it.
