British female singer Amy sings Kulangsu into the album

Emmy the Great, formerly known as Emma-Lee Moss, was born in Hong Kong. In 2014, she dubbed for Sony movie "Austin Paradise" and was nominated Academy Award for Best Original Song.

 
Amid the British Council’s Musicians in Residence China program, which allows British musicians to explore new musical field,Emmy stood out from more than 30 well-known British youths and came to Xiamen.

 
"It should be an island with  no cars and full  of piano sound."She has been fantasizing about Kulangsu before arriving there. She thought the island should be a place with no cars and full of piano sound.

 
In order to better communicate with local people, she began to read novels and poetry  created by writers of Chinese descent and spared the time to read historical materials related to the Kulangsu Islet in the British Library. At last, she accumulated more than 1000 pages of medical, religious, cultural and other data  relating to the island. She bound it in a volume and gave it to the piano island as a gift.

 
After returning to Britain, Emmy shared ten things she learned in Chinaon the Guardian Music site.In her new album, Emmy will include six songs that told the story of Xiamen. Of them, there is one Chinese song that is particularly dedicated to Kulangsu . When the new album is made, Emmy may bring it to tour the world and the last stop of the tour  is likely to be the Kulangsu Islet.
