On the first night of his \u201cAfter Hours Til Dawn Tour\u201d at Kai Tak Stadium on October 24, Abel Tesfaye, professionally known as The Weeknd, debuted a brand new track titled \u201cHong Kong<\/span>\u201d.<\/div>\n

The track heavily sampled pop diva Faye Wong\u2019s original Cantonese vocals from the song \u201cSeasonal Wind\u201d (also known as \u201cMonsoon\u201d), seamlessly blending her melody with his signature R&B style. The surprise debut was met with thunderous applause and set social media ablaze. But what is the deeper social significance of the original song, and who was behind its magic?<\/p>\n

Released in February 1993, \u201cSeasonal Wind\u201d was the fourth song on Faye Wong\u2019s fifth studio album, No Regrets<\/em>. The album, which exceeded triple platinum in sales, is one of her most iconic releases.<\/p>\n

The song is an adaptation of \u201cOne Day I Will,\u201d which was created by Taiwanese songwriting duo Yang Li-te and Chen Hsiao-hsia. Known for their portrayal of urban romance and wistfulness, \u201cOne Day I Will\u201d (1990) is celebrated as one of their most representative works as a duo, alongside Karen Mok Man-wai\u2019s 1997 ballad \u201cHe Doesn\u2019t Love Me,\u201d and was famously covered by Singaporean songstress Joi Chua in 2005.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
