Lullaby is a brand new song with music and lyrics by Chris Poon from the new musical Soul of the Ballad.
The music video features Christopher Chung and Chris Poon, is directed by Daniel York Loh, filmed and edited by Bartek Podkova with sound by Nathan Cooper for Fiction Studios.
Soul of the Ballad is a brand new musical that explores displacement, identity and generational conflict. The show follows a family’s partial immigration from Hong Kong to the UK in the 1970s, tearing them apart from one another, both geographically and emotionally. An epic love letter to family and what it means to experience sacrifice and separation, the score pounds to the soulful melodies and beats of Hong Kong Cantopop - itself a hybrid of Eastern and Western music genres.
Book and lyrics are written by Daniel York Loh with music composed by Chris Poon. The musical is currently in development, having enjoyed a research and development phase during the summer of 2021.
