Aaron Kwok is also one of the 4 heavenly kings, being the youngest, the most youthful and energetic one.
He started out as a dancer, appearing on music videos and was picked up by a major label despite his lack of singing abilities, he has the showmanship and looks to make up for it. He specialises in dance music, mainly house and techno pop and of course, being an idol in cantopop, you MUST sing some ballads for the female fans. Aaron is the one with the least longevity of the 4 kings in cantopop, Hell Heaven is the continuation of his career downward spiral. The previous album was the beginning of that spiral. Hell Heaven was the first aaron lead single that failed to chart in the top 10.
The song barely made it in the top 20, the album sales while still good thanks to his large fanbase, but was nowhere stellar as most a-list artists of the time. At this point, Aaron started to heavily focus on the movie industry and eventually faded out from cantopop and only to return once every few years for his return concert tours. Aaron is a big influence on many Chinese solo dance artists, including Show Luo. Hell Heaven is an electro-house song, interchanging between an etheral piano section and a heavily synthesized, beat-heavy electronic section.
Aaron Kwok - 地獄天堂 (Hell Heaven)
From Album: 著迷 (Fascinating) 2000
Lyrics:
la la la ....
This world of love, two special zones, separated into dark and light factions
Sweetness and failure, neglected and spoiled, Romance on sale without license
In reality, love is limited in allocation, People love challenges without resolution
commitment and dependence, evasion and misunderstanding
Many struggles, still stayed happy
Love is separated, into Hell and Heaven
Everytime getting into the battle, everyone forgets easily
Fate and desinty, hopefully has Heaven
Love will forever shine, blazing and illuminating, is an ideal
la la la ....
Love is separated, into Hell and Heaven
Everywhere it's the same, who will never let go and never forget
This moment, hopefully has Heaven
Love forever the same, boundlessly illuminating, the extreme ideal
