Faye Wong (王菲) announced that at long last, she will be releasing a new album titled Getting By <敷衍>. This will mark her first album release in 12 years. Ever since she debuted in the music industry more than 25 years ago, Faye has captured listeners with her unique singing voice. Though she began as a singer, she later branched out into movies and dramas, and she even became the first Chinese singer to grace the cover of TIME magazine. However, when she married her second husband Li Yapeng (李亞鵬) in 2005 and gave birth to her daughter Li Yan (李嫣) a year later, Faye slowly started to move behind the scenes. After her last studio album in 2003, she did not release any musical products, apart from the occasional movie theme song or song recorded for charity purposes. For 12 years, fans have patiently waited for another studio release from their idol. One diehard fan even went as far as to collect all of the songs that Faye had previously recorded but never released, pick out classics from each of her EPs, and compile them into Faye’s so-called “tenth Cantonese album.” This touching move of support was reportedly what prompted Faye to record and release another studio album. Upon hearing the news, many netizens expressed congratulations and happiness. Also among Faye’s elated supporters is Leah Dou (竇靖童), her daughter from her marriage to singer Dou Wei (竇唯). To show respect for her mother, Leah deliberately cut her hair short and dyed it light pink so that it would resemble Faye’s hairstyle in her 1998 Greatest Hits <菲歌典> compilation. Creds: ettoday
Is it me or is she just getting really old looking? I remember a time when she looked really hot. Now, she doesn't even look like a See Lai worth giving a second glance. Bad makeup? Time of month? Too many calories? What? Did she just let herself go?
Maybe because of her hair? It seems to weigh her down? Or maybe now that she's with Nicholas - she feels that she doesn't have to be 'on fleek' all the time
Probably a bad pic if you're referring to this one? If not then she probably did let her self go. Is she mostly a Canto singer? Kind of realizing canto pop is dying out or something, not many releases as it used to be...
It's the angle, the hair and everything else. You can bet they did a lot of PS and BLURRING to smoother her out. Always a fan of her, but many kids won't know of her. Still hoping posters can post her concerts and albums in the DL section. HAHA. But NO ONE has replied. The original crew from WAY BACK on PA are missing. =(
