Don't be sorry to say that, it's true. People buying at the moment are most likely at 90% her fans who were waiting eagerly for her new album. If there is no promo coming ahead sales will drop very soon.

yeah, thatīs what I expect to happen, unfortunately. The initial articles about album selling pretty well are just taking into account first-days/first-week sales, but this is not sustainable without any massive promo. Like you are saying ... those are mostly fans of her buying album, but continuing with this messy strategy (no promo right now, no music video released simultaneously with releasing album, no special physical edition yet, no concerting even in Taiwan ...), I am afraid the album will flop eventually.

well... it is nice there is an MV for Naked Truth song, but looking at other big female stars from Taiwan, Elva is not even trying.
Jolin released Ugly Beauty two years ago and she is still SLAYING with that album and releasing music videos, touring, promoting. Amei has been giving us MV for every song on her album for past 5 or 6 albums, I guess.
Elva? Took a break for 6 years, came back with Naked Truth after all those delays and gave us what?! In a Heartbeat MV and someday she will give us Naked Truth .. and thatīs it? (I am not even mentioning we only got album with 9 songs). This should have been her biggest release if she is serious about quitting releasing full-length albums after this one.

It makes me believe that her depression is still there. I think that's the main reason why the album promo has been so bad and everything scheduled this year has been scrapped..

Totally agree ... yes, I know there is Covid and it is really unfortunate situation but the situation in Taiwan is pretty much stable for a past few months. It is not like Europe where I am living and where virus is still raging .. moreover, many artists released their new albums last year and Covid didnt effect their plans in any way (Hebe, Abao, Rainie Yang, Wang Fang, Jiang Jing and many others).
Actually, I like your opinion about depression ... it is most likely true. She is pushing her body too much with practice, but is not trying to heal her mind in any way. At least, it seems like it.
