On December 18, 2008, singer Edmond Leung is set to enter a new stage in his life, marrying his girlfriend of many years. Whether this will spell a change in focus for him is still too early to tell, but one thing about his career is certain: he is entering his 20th year in the music industry, so the time is ripe for a new best-of compilation album.
Having emerged from the star-making New Talent singing competition in 1989, he spent over ten years with record label Capital Artists, winning fans with his trademark slow-tempo ballads. After a brief stint at EMI, his career reached a higher plateau after signing with Gold Label. He has continued to put out hits in recent years, even earning himself the designation as one of the "Four New Heavenly Kings" by Pop Principal Alan Tam.
For starters, the album title Edmond Hits 48 is not a reference to his age, but the number of tracks on the three-disc set. The comprehensive collection includes all his most memorable songs over the years, from early favorites like "Don't Want to Be Alone", "Three Wounded Hearts", and "The Man in the Closet", to his more recent hits like "8 Mile" and "The Armada". Also included is the megahit "Seven Friends" which won Commercial Radio's Song of the Year, "Romantic" which he composed, "Roll" which he duets with Miriam Yeung, and a new song, Edmond's wedding theme "Double Happiness".
