Raymond Lam has Internet Poll for public voting on Title Song in New Album

Recently releasing his new album Raymond Lam has been doing promotions continously, yesterday he held the "Your Love Singing Session", many fans came to support him. He played games with the fans on Mid Autumn Festival, handed out mooncakes and made paper rabbits. Also he sang songs from his new album and signed autographs for fans. Raymond was a bit nervous, because the songs "Shadow Love Story" 《影子的愛情故事》 and "Love the Sea" 《愛人與海》 he has never performed live before so he's afraid he may forget the lyrics. Raymond smiled and said that if he messes up the lyrics, he'll hand the microphone over to the fans. He said that it has not been decided on what the title song of the album is, later will collect everyone's views on the internet and then make a decision then.

Releasing his second album, Raymond expressed that the pressure is greater, but there is a lot of meaning. He stressed that releasing an album to him is not playing around. Raymond said: "This time the response is quite good because there is a series to go along with it, the timing is right and also I don't need to film series right now, can do more promotions." Raymond also said he plans to give his new album to the Cast of "Moonlight Resonances", but unfortuntately he has not met any of them. Speaking of Mid-Autumn Festival, Raymond has jobs scheduled, hopefully he can return to home before midnight to have mooncakes with family.
