He started producing songs a few months ago, it seems that he had inspiration... And he got his new album's concept 2 years ago something like that? Will: He wanted to go back to his "hip-hop" roots but to be honest I'm not really into the two songs we got at the moment Elva: She's working hard on this new album, it will determine if she'll be relevant again (or not) in my opinion. Shut Up & Kiss Me was also disappointing to me... Jolin : She "only" has 2 sets of lyrics missing but the thing is, we don't even know if the first 8 songs have been recorded or not so... I have to agree with you on this. I'm just posting what she's been saying but I don't really believe in a release at the end of 2017. Sometimes when she answers to questions about the new album or its release date she laughs, and I wonder if she's trolling us or something

Khalil:
well, he has his own label now, hasnīt he? I think FU Music was founded by him, so realizing that ... I guess, itīs much easier for him to do what he wants now and release new music more often. Donīt you know how Journey to the West was selling in China / Taiwan? Will: in that case, I understand why his new music sounds so different from his previous work. I just donīt know if "go back to the roots" is such a good thing for him. Elva: yeah, thatīs a pretty good point. Unlike Jolin, Elvaīs fame is fading away slowly .. she needs a huge hit for sure and cannot afford to have another flop album. Otherwise, she wonīt be relevant anymore .. something similar happened to Rainie. Jolin: yes, I know you are just posting what she's been saying .. absolutely nothing wrong about that ;-) Like I said in previous post, I was just sharing my personal feelings about releasing date of Jolinīs new album, thatīs all I donīt think she is trolling us deliberately, I just thinks Jolin herself has no idea when exactly album will be realesed, so she cannot properly react to those questions. When the work will be done, it will be done. Then we can get some specific info, now she is just in the process of recordings of songs and choosing the rights ones, deciding what concept of album to use etc. so itīs pretty early even for her to say if the album will be ready this year or next one.

Speaking of Jane, she released today a new song for the Chinese movie 三生三世十里桃花 Once Upon A Time called 十里桃花 Ten Miles of Peach Blossom: _______________________________ Quote:
While searching for JTW sales (haven't found anything BTW), I found an article saying that actually he's not the one who will release a new album this year... His label is going to "launch" its first newcomer. It seems that Khalil said JTW would be his last studio album but he's not retiring, he'll be working behind the scenes or on other projects. Quote:

Well, speaking of the devil... An article popped out, Jolin found lyrics for one song and recorded it. Progress for lyrics is still slow, she's still searching for lyrics that will resonate with her feelings and what she wants to say. Something is bothering me... Unlike Elva, articles are not saying that 8 songs have been recorded but "completed". Does that mean that they're ok music-wise but don't have lyrics? On baidu one person said ironically "so good, the new album is 10% completed", so I guess that means in the end that 8 songs have been completed but don't have lyrics... LOL a release at the end of 2017 is impossible then. Quote:

oh, that's completely different situation, but still thanks for the info! I wonder who it will be, but as long as his or her music will be as good as Khalils I'm fine with it. Wilber: Why? They seem to give artists a lot of space for their own creativity. There are some really good singers signed under their name ... Jolin, Jam Hsiao, JJ Lin, Kenji Wu etc. I guess Warner is still better than Sony Music Taiwan Quote:
well, I have never been reading these news, it is usually only a gibberish to me so I wasn't "following" Elva for a long time now. Only thing that interests me is her music so I really hope it won't be another dissapointment. Otherwise, she can follow Rainie to the land of oblivion Quote:
I don't know, but it's a little bit strange. Should be music and lyrics somehow connected? Music for songs is completed but she still doesn't have lyrics for songs? but what if lyrics wouldn't fit to those music? What then? She will be searching again and again? I am fine with waiting for a new album till next year, but these news are just messy. It would be much better if Jolin would stop teasing us and just simply told us: "it won't be finished sooner than June 2018" (for example). It is always better to work longer and prepare another decent album than hurry things. Her contract with Warner is obviously not a problem so she doesn't NEED to realease a new album this year.

illi is available by the way. I think it will be on Spotify worldwide tomorrow. Quote:
And who knows? An album by the end of this year is maybe one of the clauses of her new contract with Universal? Her Taiwanese & Chinese fans at least have been taking it quite well, it makes them laugh actually and they're making lots of jokes about it o_O They didn't seem to be that surprised. Whereas her Western fans were kinda sad and annoyed about it. Quote:
According to an article I've found, it's a "warm-up" song so I guess it's going to be in the new album.

I don't know .. maybe it wasn't intentional at all and I am the only one who has this feeling from his new work :-) Even though, I still wonder if "back to the roots" (doesn't matter if musically or visually in music videos) was a good idea. I guess Will has more freedom now while he is under Warner, Coming Home was enterily composed by him and also the whole concept of album about "the artist who had a strange dream about giving birth to a baby alien whom he believes is his reincarnation" is made by him, but it is questionable if this "freedom" may help his popularity or not ... not mentioned that this new album concept sounds totally dumb to me I am really curious about sales ...but somethings smells like a flop here. Quote:
Quote:
I think the peak of her music was 2006-2010 for me. I love albums 1087, Diamond Candy, Miss Elva, then it was a downhill .. I am Ready and Shut Up and Kiss Me were so-so albums. It is pretty unfornute because I used to like Elva more than Jolin. But then, Jolin took a blast with her Myself album (and Muse .. and Play) and now she is uncomparably better, more inspirational, more musically advanced artist than Elva who has been wasting her chance for a past few years.

I only listened to album previews... And well it's listenable but this album seems to be weaker than his previous works. At the beginning you have a few hip-hop songs, then you have 2-3 ballads, and the remaining songs are mid-tempo. Close Encounter (slow version) is actually an acoustic version, and it sounds way better than the original one in my opinion. Full album is now available worldwide on Spotify by the way! https://open.spotify.com/album/2CzfbwQb5OCZTfPglNEu5R Quote:
But neither Universal nor Jolin have made it official. It's just an "open secret" at the moment. It will be official when a press conference will be held, so we might get more info at that moment? I have to admit I find it weird that she seems so eager to release this album this year, when before she was like "lol I'll release it whenever I want to I'm not in a hurry". EDIT: aMEI wants to release her album this year for it to be eligible for the 2018 GMA... Maybe that's why Jolin wants so much to release it this year too. Quote:

_______________________________________________ Oh! By the way, Wang Leehom is set to release a new album next month called A.I. 愛. It's a pun with "ai" ("love" in Chinese) and A.I, Artificial Intelligence. There will be a combination of new technology and music in his upcoming album. A.I will first be released in digital format, physical version will be released later. First promo pic: http://ent.sina.com.cn/y/ygangtai/20...r9072102.shtml A-Lin is also going to release a new album on September 20th. A new single called "未單身 / Not Single" will be released on August 14th, it's a love song. Preview ________________________________ 失眠 (Insomnia) from Will Pan's new album is plagiarized from a song by K-Pop boyband Beast (now called Highlight it seems?). I couldn't find the song's title but it has been composed in 2014 by one of the members, Yong Jun-hyung. Co-composer 房振剛 Jhen apologized and took all the blame. He's a fan of the group and "unconsciously" put these notes from Highlight's song into Will's song. Video https://twitter.com/RLjH8oZWijOE5pm/...59946779533313 Will Pan is also sorry and full of regrets since he's the other composer of the song. 2 choices were given by the Korean label: 1. remove the song from illi / 2. pay copyright fees. In the end insomnia will be removed from Will Pan's album (I guess physical copies of his album are also going to be removed from shelves then).

I'm over here like at people saying Elva's Shut Up and Kiss Me was not a great album. I mean, it certainly wasn't I'm Ready, but I loved it as much as any Elva record I've heard. I just wish she would have kept up with the yearly releases from 2014 on.
So, I love A-Lin's new album, and I am a little on-off about Yanzi's new album. I loved Dancing Van Gogh and a few other songs, but nothing has really connected with me on this one or on Kepler like all the tracks on It's Time did. I do love that she returned to a more mixed sound of her older releases and her newer stuff from 2011 forward. I'm also disappointed that Radio wasn't on the new album. She did such a damn good job with that track. As of right now, I am paying attention to Tanya Chua. She just released 貪圖/Pursuit of Happiness and this is the first song of hers that I've really connected to from the first note through the last. The mood is the perfect companion to the lyrics. I also want to give my applause to Jam Hsiao for whatever the fuck 皮囊 Pi Nang's PV is. He's so goddamn adorkable. Right now, I'm really just waiting for the next Jolin and Elva projects. I'm also trying to give myself enough listens of Rainie Yang to see if I can develop a likeness for her music. I love her concepts but I have never enjoyed the music side of her work. Oh, and I'm completely entrenched in A-Mei again. But I can't expect anything different at this point. PARANOIA and AMIT2 were my favorites of 2014 and 2015, and Story Thief ended up being my favorite of 2017. Saved the damn year from all that bad music!

G.E.M is going to release 3 EPs til the end of the year to celebrate her 10th anniversary !
This 3 EP project is called "音乐童话三部曲" Musical Fairytale Trilogy. The 1st one called 另一个童话 My Fairytale will be released at the end of the month worldwide, but it got an early release today in China (August 16th is her birthday as well). If there are any G.E.M fans here I can upload it in the DL section if you want. Its cover is a drawing by popular Instagram illustrator Giselle Ukardi from Canada. Spoiler:
Why a fairytale as a project ? Basically G.E.M has grown up in those 10 years and realized that the real world and love are not a fairytale. When she's lost in the modern world, she uses music to create her own "fairytale". There's a questioning in every song of the 1st EP. All of them have been written by G.E.M and Lupo Groinig. 倒数 Tik Tok* Limited in time, is every relationship overdue or a gorgeous explosion ? 错过不错 Rightfully Wrong* Missing a bus and missing someone, there are too many things in life we are unable to keep. Must we feel sorry for what we missed and left behind ? 另一个童话 My Fairytale* 7,5 billion ducklings in the world, is becoming a swan the only happy ending there is ? *Official English titles
