After returning to the mainland to develop his career for a while, Justin Lo announced earlier that he would return to Hong Kong to re-enter the music scene. He officially signed with Universal Music and released a new song "The First Second".
There are two main reasons why Justin Lo became a hot new star as soon as he debuted: First, he was labeled as a hatter for a long time. Second, with solid and highly recognizable singing skills, he can easily make every popular love song popular. In the MV of "First Second", Justin Lo is still wearing the MK "NY cap" full of nostalgia, and his singing voice remains "unchanged in 17 years". At first glance, "First Second" is actually not much different from "Good Man", "Erica" and "Hard Life" back then. You might even think he took a time machine and traveled back to 2010. It has been 17 years since Justin Lo made his debut. Is it wise for him to continue using his "secret formula for success"? So does it mean "no progress, complacent" or "staying at the same level, with the original intention unchanged"?
Today, 17 years later, there are many talented people in the music industry, each with a distinctive style and singing style. As a senior with real strength, Justin Lo's comeback work with a safe card is too conservative and insincere. After returning to the mainland to work hard for two years, he should have absorbed a lot of musical nutrients, but "The First Second" is indeed disappointing. Whether from the perspective of fans or from the marketing level, it is not a particularly attractive work, at least it is not a song worth plugging in or even a lead song.
