Music
Starting in 1999, Lin has also entered the music industry and released her albums. In 1999, Lin entered the music industry with her first EP, Hearings. Although it had only five songs, the EP sold well in Hong Kong and Taiwan, earning Lin several awards in Hong Kong, including "Best Newcomer of the Year."The following year, TVB Solid Gold awarded her "The Most Popular New Singer Award", and Radio Television HK presented Lin with "The Most Prosperous New Singer Bronze award."However, due to conflicts between her label and her management company, Lin began searching for a new label to produce her next album.
In 2001, after a three-year hiatus, Lin signed a contract with BMG Taiwan, and subsequently released her 2nd album face 2 face . A few days after, the Para Para Special Edition was also released. Both albums earned several awards from the Hong Kong music industry. After those two albums, she began focusing more on her acting career. Lin is contracted for 4 albums with BMG, but has little time to continue her singing career. As a result, in 2004, BMG decided to release the soundtrack for the television series, Half Life Fate, in favour of having Lin record a third studio album. [30] In the soundtrack, Lin sang five songs; the opening theme, "Half of Fate", earned her the Best Film and Television Song award. At the end of 2004, Lin's contract with BMG expired. After being approached by several labels, she did not sign a record contract till the end of 2006. According to Lin's new management company, a new album will be released in 2007, but it is not yet known which music company she will work with.
