Later, she joined B'in Music and worked with artists including Fish Leong, Rene Liu, Yen-j, Della, etc.
Ting had been Della's A&R for years and also written numerous songs for her, including “Unable To Guess 猜不透”, the hit that made it to the top of KKBox chart within a week in 2008.
[1] Ting quoted Jonathan Lee's words at an interview, “Singing is like the extension of speech, the tone is very important.
This decision-making process is fine art.” Under Lee's influence, Ting believes that if the singers read out the lyrics before recording, it'll be helpful for them to interpret the tone and think about how to perform the song.
As the language context between Singaporean Chinese is different from that of Greater China, Ting would incorporate both the singer's background and market demands when writing the songs.
Of the genres, ballad takes up about 70% of her work, as Ting is an expert in using straightforward and practical word choices to illustrate the emotional struggles in relationships.
For example, the song “I Love Him我愛他” (performed by Della) was tailor made according to the storyline of the TV drama “Autumn's Concerto下一站，幸福”: “他的輕狂留在某一節車廂，地下鐵的風比回憶還重.” Also, the line “我愛他轟轟烈烈最瘋狂” has the onomatopoeia “轟轟烈烈”located right on where the melody is at its climax.
This lyrics design matches and interacts perfectly with the melody flow, allowing listeners to immerse themselves into the song and in turn receive a stronger impact emotionally.
