Jolin Tsai: Dancing Diva (Wu Niang)

After signing a new contract with Capitol Records, Jolin 蔡依林 (Cai Yi Lin) finally has release her new and the first album under the company. 玩美 (Wan Mei) is an exotic upbeat number. To a certain extent, it is a good piece to be an opening track.

舞娘 (Wu Niang) spurs much amazement to listeners who have watched the music video with its Middle East rhythm, accompanied with high difficulty rhythmic gymnastics dance steps. You might be interested in checking out the video and prepare yourself for bewilderment .

马德里不思议 (Ma De Li Bu Si Yi) has a sweet melody as if bringing out Jolin’s younger side. Her company actually claims that this is the cutest song that Jolin has ever sung so far in her career.

There are altogether five ballads in this album namely: 假装 (Jia Zhuang), 心型圈 (Xin Xing Quan), 离人节 (Li Ren Jie), 最终话 (Zui Zhong Hua) and 开场白 (Kai Chang Bai) which all are worth listening.

假装 (Jia Zhuang) is a K-song with a catchy chorus. This song tells about the hopelessness in love. 心型圈 (Xin Xing Quan) is another sweet song but ironically after that comes 离人节 (Li Ren Jie). As the title suggested, it is a heartbreaking one.

唇唇欲动 (Chun Chun Yu Dong) and Mr. Q are another two fast beat songs that will guarantee you wanting to get up and party.

Jolin and Stanley 黄立行 (Huang Li Xing)’s duet in the pop electronic 乖乖牌 (Guai Guai Pai) pays off well. Stanley Huang also acts as the composer and producer of this track.
