18 Album
If someone asked Sam when he showed his talent - it was at the age of 18, he understood that loneliness and pressure spare no one. The heartbreak, the humiliation, the dizzying weight of every single thought and overwhelming feeling: going through a nightmare of depression — none of which really leaves us and discovering it alone. honest way almost always makes good pop songs. The Asia-born musician who is also an experienced actor and current star shared about Album 18 : My years in the profession are like a story in which there is no shortage of glorious moments, even fleeting. But, what annoyed me the most were my own reflections of the failures and losses and reputations that I myself had to go through. I am afraid of being blamed by others. There are many people who want to blame themselves too much, whatever they do, make themselves a bad person or depressed to death. I cannot survive such treatment or depression again. I used to think I was going to die - Depression is a very scary thing, I used to feel like I couldn't control my emotions. I spent that time writing music, writing music and writing music. The songs in Album 18 are so real that you can imagine: it's tears, sleepless nights thinking, the smell of blood that I cut my wrists,...... Album 18 is a story - grown up story.

“All the emotions I'm feeling while writing Album 18 are very intense,” Sam said. “I called the 18 because it was a really bad time and age in my life—I remember being so sad, so insecure, and so angry. I feel all of those things, and they are still very real, but I definitely don't experience it as deeply as I used to. It's nice to go back and see how I'm feeling, and say, 'It's turned out okay. You're fine now.'” A little older and a lot wiser, Sam shares the wisdom he learned to turn it all into one of the most memorable debut albums of all time. - when it sold 1.2 million copies globally.
