And I only put studio albums in that list! I didn't include her bests (sometimes they contain unreleased songs), her standalone singles...

Does it seem likely she'll wait another four years before releasing new music? I know her last releases were the videos from AMIT2, but she did take quite some time between R U Watching? and PARANOIA.

It was 3 years between R U Watching? and Paranoia, but yeah, I hope we get something next year.

Is it just me or she looks like a mixture of Namie and Janet Jackson? In the first pic, she really resembles Namie.

The cover for Faces of Paranoia looks nice. I may download something from her. What are her main genres?

Maybe you should try her YouTube channel first? It has all MVs from her latest albums Faces of Paranoia & AMIT 2.

I give this thread a little bump so once again thanks for creating her thread, Linoa! ;-)
I do not "feel" her older stuff (only the debut album), but I like her stuff since Star album (2007). R U Watching & Faces of Paranoia are great, but especially her rock alter ego AMIT and AMITII! One of the best albums I have ever heard.

aMEI is not utopia_amei on Instagram anymore but AMIT_feat_aMEI:
https://www.instagram.com/amit_feat_amei/

Same goes for her official Facebook page (formerly starmei):
https://www.facebook.com/aMEI.feat.Amit

And a song from Jay Chou's new album is featuring her:


Her performance at the Golden Melody Awards in Taiwan:

Unfortunately she lost in every category she was nominated in...

Utopia World Tour 2.0 has started last week!
The most important dates:
Quote:
2017年3月22日 英國 倫敦 London Eventim Apollo
2017年3月25日 義大利 米蘭 Milano Teatro Linear Ciak
2017年3月28日 西班牙 馬德里 Madrid Palacio Vistalegre
You can already buy tickets for the concert in London: http://www.eventimapollo.com/events/detail/amei
Quote:
Next March, Taiwanese diva aMei Zhang will return to London once again and bring her brand new tour 'aMei utopia 2.0 Celebration World Tour concert' to the Eventim Apollo on 22 March 2017.

To commemorate the 20th anniversary of her debut, previous tour “Utopia” will be officially upgraded to a 2.0 Celebration version and this new world tour will kicks off from December 2016 and have confirmed to be showcased n 20 different cities. Continuing her achievements on “Utopia” aMei will also bring out all her classics within the past 20 years for the very first time including a 40 minutes remix especially for this concert.

On 22 March aMei will bring everyone together with her music and turn the Eventim Apollo into a utopia celebration where there are no boundaries and no limits.
The concert in Milan: http://www.ticketone.it/a-mei-milano-biglietti.html
The concert in Madrid: https://www.ticketbell.com/musica/en...mundial-madrid

So if you live in the UK, in Spain or in Italy, this is your chance to see her live!

The first part of her World Tour, Utopia Word Tour, had 55 dates including 1 in Tokyo, 2 in Australia, 1 in New-Zealand, 2 in the US and 1 in Canada.

EDIT: Utopia 2.0's setlist according to KKBOX.

aMEI has recorded a new album, its release is expected for October or November!

And she scrapped her first idea pour Utopia World Tour DVD/BD.
The first dates in Taipei (April 2015) were supposed to be the ones used for the DVD, but she didn't like the result...
...So she decided to film Kaohsung dates instead from Utopia 2.0 (August 12th, 13th, 18th, 19th, 20th, 25th, 26th, 27th 2017).

I was super happy to hear this news. And I love that this will be another dark album from her. I think Faces of Paranoia and Amit2 were great, but I feel their stories weren't completely tied up. I hope Story Thief closes Paranoia on a solid note.

Please, please, please aMEI... make this the best album of 2017. I need something for this year to end on a good note. I really do. And she saved 2014 and 2015 for me. So, I would love her to be the big record for me again for 2017.
