The “more introspective” version was done to celebrate Home’s 25th anniversary as well as Kit Chan’s own 30th year in the entertainment industry.
It’s a song many Singaporeans know by heart and have grown up singing. With this year’s National Day Parade just around the corner, Home has gotten a timely new remake and a video to go along with it.
Singer Kit Chan announced the news in an Instagram post on Friday . “I’ve done a remake of ‘Home’ on its 25th anniversary, with the blessing of Dick Lee and the wonderful support of its original producer Sydney Tan,” she wrote, adding that it was the perfect time to celebrate both the song’s milestone and her own 30th anniversary as an artiste.
“I am no longer that starry-eyed 25-year-old belting her lungs out at her first NDP,” the 50-year-old Chan continued on Instagram.“I am much more the woman who muses about the uncertain future, who worries a little, but then has much to be grateful for at the end of each day. I continue to find my joys and my comforts in this amazing little place that is my home.”
While she said she was unsure how Singaporeans would take to the “more introspective and personal interpretation” of the song, “I hope that they will like it, or allow for it. For better or worse, it is my own vision of Singapore, and my personal experience of it now,” she said, describing it as “a labour of love”.
