To Be (album)


To Be is the 1997 debut Mandarin-language pop album by Hong Kong singer Karen Mok. It was first released on 21 October 1997 by Rock Records and it was Mok's first album for the Taiwan and PRC markets.

Information

Considered her commercial breakthrough, To Be skyrocketed Mok to fame throughout Asia with many of the songs receiving heavy rotation on radio stations and music video channels across the Sinophone world. The album was a huge hit, eventually selling over 800,000 copies, and included the massive hit single and one of her signature songs, Ta Bu Ai Wo. It also contained other hit singles such as "Hiroshima Mon Amour" and "Radio Love Song." After the lukewarm commercial response to her previous efforts To Be helped Mok cross over to singing and is considered a massive stepping stone to Mok becoming one of Mandopop's lead divas.
