This included a Top 10 Gold Song Award at RTHK for "Feeling," which remains one of her signature tunes to this day.
In 2012-13, Chan released a couple of electronic albums collaborating with People Mountain Sea, the music production company founded by Anthony Wong, who was among her earliest champions. "Electrify", the lead single to the album I am Free, was widely praised by DJs at Commercial Radio Hong Kong at the time, and reached number 2 on their singles chart.
