「人们喜欢谈论他们的十七岁。那是他们既是小孩，也是大人的日子。」Kingsley Mak 形容他的首张个人EP《17》是一个关于成长的叙述，诉说他十七岁时所发生的事情。从故事的开始，《Slowly》、《Overreact》和《Dumped》形成一部三部曲，分别从「他」、「她」和「我」的角度去讲述青春的暧昧与友情的背叛。而在《Thankful》一曲，他讲述自己纵然对仰慕之人感到失望，但仍会对其教诲心怀感恩。当故事来到《Weird to Be Happy》，它总结了三部曲，并藉此引伸出他对成长的百感交集，以及对身边人的绝望。 在这张独自写作和制作的音乐作品里，Kingsley Mak 尝试透过歌词、编曲和封面去营造一种稚气的感觉，借以完美地配合EP格言中关于「小孩」的部分。成长就像收集不同故事的碎片，然后把它们钉在板上，并思考着每件事的另一面。在格言中关于「大人」的部分将会在未来的企划中继续，并在最终建立一个对「成长」的定义。"People like to talk about their seventeen's. It is the time when they are both a child and an adult." Kingsley Mak describes his debut EP"17" as a narrative about growing up, and it revolves around the things that happened when he was seventeen. To kick off the storyline of the EP,"Slowly","Overreact", and"Dumped" form a trilogy that conveys the fantasy of teenage love and the betrayal of friends from the perspectives of"He","She", and"I", respectively. In"Thankful", he talks about his disappointment with a person he looked up to, but he is still grateful for the things she taught him. When it comes to the song"Weird to Be Happy", it summarises the trilogy, thus expressing his complicated feelings towards growth and despair of the people around him.In this self-written and produced project, Kingsley Mak attempts to create a sense of innocence through lyricism, song production and cover art, which perfectly fits the"child" part in the motto of this EP. Growing up is like collecting pieces of different stories, pinning them on a board and trying to wonder the other side of each incident. The"adult" part in the motto will be continued in a future project and eventually develop into a definition of growing up.
