Leehom Wang to Drop New Album on January 23

After four years since his last Mandopop album, singer-songwriter Leehom Wang (王力宏) is back with new music. His latest studio album Your Love <你的愛>, which includes a total of 13 tracks, is slated for a release on January 23Your Love is Leehom’s fifteenth full-length record and his first under Universal Music.

In September 2014, Leehom dropped the first plug of his upcoming album “Lose Myself” <忘我>, a co-production with the Swedish EDM DJ, Avicii. In December 2014, Leehom released his second promotional single “Cracked Heart” <裂心>, a ballad. On January 5, Leehom dropped his last single “Now Is the Time” <就是現在>, a pop rap track.

Leehom wrote “Now Is the Time” while he was filming the Hollywood film Blackhat, which will be released in theaters on January 16Blackhat, directed by Michael Mann and starring Chris Hemsworth, Viola Davis, and Tang Wei (湯唯), is an action thriller about American and Chinese agencies coming together to catch a criminal. When Leehom read the film’s script, he said he felt a great surge of pride, expressing that Western media is slowly changing and improving its views on Chinese people. Asian actors are no longer cast in stereotypical roles, and are slowly gaining prominence in Western media.

Leehom said, “Since my debut, I never realized that so many people in the world actually pay attention to Chinese films, Chinese music, and Asian actors. That means Chinese pop culture is slowly becoming more international!”

The singer-songwriter composed, arranged, and wrote the lyrics to “Now Is the Time”. The lyrics are self-empowering, and encourage one to grasp a hold onto one’s destiny. The lyrics also mention Zhang Ziyi (章子怡) and Chang Chen’s (張震) characters in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon <卧虎藏龍>, referring to their doomed love story. Both Zhang Ziyi and Chang Chen expressed that they have heard the song and liked it; Ziyi also shared the lyrics on Weibo and encouraged fans to support the song.

  1. Can’t wait for his new release! It’s been quite awhile since he last released his album.

  2. Blackhat is a joke. Watched it and almost died of boredom in the cinema. The script is bad, videography is worse, the producing is the worst. My word of advice, don’t bother paying to watch it. Seriously. I have my condolences to the actors who worked hard only to have the movie failed so badly.

    1. Oh my! You must be one of the ten people who actually had paid to see this piece of trash.

      Fortunately, the movie has been already closed after a week of showing.
