Golden Melody award-winning Taiwanese band Lilium returns with their third album Everything Will Go Wonderfully, a testament to their commitment to bringing fresh imaginations and perspectives to the Taiwanese Hokkien music scene, sparking excitement and intrigue among their fans.

Everything Will Go Wonderfully album details
In the album, the band explores the perspectives of different protagonists in each song to deliver their messages. The characters vary from a deity, a foreigner, a fortune teller, and a street entertainer. This sends the listener on different points of view along the way until the end of the album.
Lilium also experiments with a different execution when it comes to musical arrangements this time around. Previously, their use of traditional music elements was presented as solo portions in the arrangement. The band attempts to use these traditional elements with their latest album by mixing them into the entire arrangement, thus creating a unique sound that is exclusive to Lilium.
In the third track, “Stranger,” the drums and luogu are mixed in one whole percussion track. In “A Strange Smell,” the recorder solo is rearranged from a traditional Belgian piece. Moreover, in the fifth track, “Come Out,” the guitar solo is an adaptation of a traditional opera.
This latest album continues the band’s mission by expanding Taiwanese Hokkien music and applying it to a modern concept. The band takes on a new challenge by attempting to integrate more stories and themes into their songs. They take on heartwarming topics unexplored in past works, such as missing loved ones in “Lost Love Song” and the romantic duet “Longan” featuring Marko Woo from Iruka Police.
In conclusion, Everything Will Go Wonderfully has songs encompassing various genres, including progressive rock, reggaeton, soft rock, metal, and pop. They express the multiple encounters in life and invite listeners to follow in Lilium’s footsteps to discover everything beautiful.
To keep up with Lilium, you can follow them in their Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Spotify, Apple Music, and Kkbox.
