Linger (album)


依依 Linger is the sixth studio album of cantopop singer Prudence Liew, released in September 1990.

Background information

This album continues the trend of Liew's previous release, the concept album 赤裸感覺 The Naked Feeling of incorporating songs that deal with lust and sex. However, the lyrics have been toned down for this album due to pressure from her label, BMG Pacific to find a happy medium between art and commercial cantopop music. In place of obvious depictions of sexual situations are clever innuendos that can be interpreted either innocent or naughty depending on the listener.

Singles

  1. In Cantonese, the character "麼", pronounced, has the same pronunciation as the character "摸", which means "to touch." Therefore, one of the ways the song is interpreted is the singer asking/telling her lover to touch her like this, touch her like that and how to touch her.
  2. The second variation is interpreting "this" and "that" as references to non-distinct sexual activities as in the singer telling her lover to make love to her this way and that way.
