Overview

SINGAPORE – The groundbreaking twin brothers, Lee Wei Song and Lee Si Song, are set to mesmerize fans once again as they celebrate their illustrious 40-year career in the Chinese music industry. Since bursting onto the scene in the mid-1980s, these prolific singer-songwriters have been the creative forces behind countless Mandopop classics — from Jacky Cheung's heart-wrenching hit "A Thousand Reasons To Be Sad" (1995) to Stefanie Sun's empowering anthem "Against The Light" (2007).

Concert Details

On December 31, they will take the stage at Marina Bay Sands' Grand Ballroom in a highly anticipated concert aptly titled "Lee Wei Song & Lee Si Song – Forty For You: A 40-Year Musical Journey Concert." Fans can expect a nostalgic showcase of 40 of their greatest hits, celebrating a legacy that has defined and shaped the Mandopop genre both locally and internationally.

Expectations and Excitement

During an intimate session earlier this month, Wei Song, the more extroverted of the two, expressed his excitement to perform once again at such a prestigious venue. "This performance is something we’ve dreamt about for a long time. It’s a special moment to share our music with the audience that has supported us throughout the years," he said, after recently being recognized at the annual Compass Awards for his contributions to the industry.

The Dynamics of Collaboration

The duo, who also dabbled in performing during their earlier careers, have a longstanding tradition of coming together for significant milestones. Their deep connection, both personal and professional, is palpable and adds an enchanting element to their performances. However, Si Song, who prefers a more behind-the-scenes role, acknowledged the challenges they’ve faced. "There’s magic when we collaborate. Despite any differences we might have, our synergy creates music that resonates with people."

Curating the Setlist

As the concert approaches, the meticulous process of curating their setlist — drawn from over 700 songs they have penned — is well underway. Upbeat tracks like "Love Words" from their 1993 album “Peter And Paul At Play” promise to energize the audience, while emotional ballads such as "Thinking Of You 365 Days" (1998) and "Wait Until Flowers Wither" are likely to bring back memories for many fans.

Guest Performances

Fans attending the concert can also expect a star-studded lineup of guest performances. Local artists like Dreamz FM and singers Joanna Dong and Roselyn Liu will join the twins on stage, alongside a children's choir assembled from their music academy—a testament to the brothers' commitment to nurturing young talent.

Reflections on the Music Industry

Even as the Lees prepare for this pinnacle performance, they reflect on the evolution of the music industry and the impact of streaming and changing audience preferences. Si Song noted the intricacies today’s artists face in navigating the landscape but emphasized the importance of song quality. "No matter how the industry changes, musical talent and authentic compositions will always find a way to shine through," he said.

Looking Ahead

With their eyes set on international stages post-concert, the Lee twins hope to share their music journey beyond Singapore, exploring new audiences and collaborations. As they look ahead, the promise and passion to create continue to drive them.

Milestones and Impact

Their history is rich with significant milestones, from founding the Lee Wei Song School of Music in 1995 to guiding the careers of emerging artists like Stefanie Sun, JJ Lin, and more. The twins believe in the power of music to transcend barriers, something they hope to communicate through their upcoming concert.

A Timeless Journey

As Wei Song mused, "Time flies so quickly, but music is timeless. Our journey may have been filled with ups and downs, but every moment has been worthwhile because of the love we have for music."
