  2. At first, when I listened to the previews on iTunes before being able to listen to the album in full, I have to admit I was a bit scared. Then I was reassured when I got to listen to the album for the first time. This is an album that grows on you though, it needs several listens. The only song I cannot seem to get into is Shadow Self. When I learned that Jolin had written 6 songs of the album, I was not necessarily overjoyed in the first place, since I thought that Miss Trouble and I'm Not Yours were the messiest songs music-wise in PLAY. So I was pleasantly surprised ! I think it's definitely a step up from PLAY production-wise and overall. IMO, this is also her most cohesive album to date. Concept, visuals, music, lyrics... You can also feel her implication and how personal it is to her. She even stated recently "I debuted 2 years ago" (she started work on UGLY BEAUTY in 2016). Jolin wasn't lying when she was talking about something new (for her) when it comes to style, lyrics, or interpretation. Ballads here are really different compared to her previous ones (Vulnerability ♥) as well. Of course it's just my opinion. But this album is clearly not for everyone, from what I read online, it looks like either you like it or "hate" it. I understand what she meant when she said that "old fans will need to get used to it, new fans will follow"... So I have to admit I was surprised when I saw how well the album & title song were doing in Taiwan and China, and how well it was received by critics. It's too hard to rank it yet to be honest, especially since I never even tried to make a top 5 of her albums

  8. 10 lucky fans have been able to listen to 6 songs off the album: æƒ¡ä¹‹å¿…è¦ Necessary Evil, 怪美的 Ugly Beauty, 玫瑰少年 Womxnly, å¦‚æžœæˆ‘æ²’æœ‰å‚·å£ Vulnerability, 腦公 Hubby, and 甜秘密 Sweet Guilty Pleasure. æƒ¡ä¹‹å¿…è¦ Necessary Evil Lyrics: Li Weijing / Starr Chen – Music: Razor Chiang / Starr Chen Jolin’s voice is very low, the song is very depressing. Its style is even more “special†than 怪美的 Ugly Beauty’s. Described as “hardcore hip-hopâ€. It’s about the inner dark side and intends to tell the reason why a girl becomes “evilâ€â€¦ 怪美的 Ugly Beauty 玫瑰少年 Womxnly Lyrics: Ashin from Mayday / Jolin – Music: Razor Chiang Jolin hopes to use this song to let everyone discover and learn to respect people who are different. It’s a mix between a mid-tempo and an uptempo. å¦‚æžœæˆ‘æ²’æœ‰å‚·å£ Vulnerability Lyrics: Liao Ting Yi – Music: Xiao Yu A love song never heard in Jolin’s discography. Ballad blending blues and gospel. The chorus is very moving. It’s about arming yourself in love and accept yourself. 腦公 Hubby Lyrics: Li Ruo Jun The idea for the song came from Korean dramas and love movies. When she watches them, Jolin wants to replace the female lead’s face by hers. Cute pop-rock song. 甜秘密 Sweet Guilty Pleasure Lyrics: A Di Zai – Music: Jolin / Olof Maarten Lindskog / Hayley Michelle Aitken / Johan Per Konrad Moraeus EDM. Explores desire, it’s a straightforward sex song, no innuendos. Pastry is also used as a metaphor for sex. Jolin values every part of the body, so she couldn’t ignore the “sex†part. “How long have you not looked at the mirror, have you touched your body, and found out where you like to be touched?†“Everyone feels desire, it’s not unusual, it’s not shameful, I’m almost 40 years-old !†Jolin also revealed that she didn’t want to release a physical version for this album. Sony Music Taiwan advised her to do so, by telling her that she was still very beautiful and could still sell physical CDs. Jolin stated several times this past year that she couldn’t see the appeal of CDs anymore, she doesn’t even have herself a CD player at home.

  18. “Face yourself honestly at 100% and you will eventually receive love and sincerity.†“Music is my centripetal force. Follow it and you can find me.†Jolin keeps asking questions in this album, exploring her own heart, she hugs her own dark and ugly face. “Emotion has been labeled as ugly, but is that true? This time, I want to open all the ugliness behind the perfect surface. Spying on the emotions that I have tried my best to bury. Terror, truth and fragile stories. Ugly beauty, perfection is not equal to all.†Jolin tried a new creative mode to write music. Besides Taipei, she went to Bangkok and Stockholm, mobilizing almost 100 musicians. After experiencing a week with musicians from all over the world, she participated in the creation of six songs in one go: “Working with different creative camps, gives me lots of motivation, we can talk about music creation together, use different language to express what you want, in addition to being very enjoyable, it was pretty fun, the work should make everyone feel as much as I feel.†In recent years, Jolin, who is interested in psychology, explored her inner world and herself through the book of Jung, a psychologist. Jolin said: “If I was not at 100% before, I would blame myself. I would think I was “not worth mentioningâ€. The UGLY face for me is part of an emotion. When you start to face it, the feedback you get is very good, more love and empathy.†In order to match the theme of the 11 new songs of the new album, she created 11 sets of UGLY BEAUTY styles, 11 scenes and 11 different characters. She said: “Split personality, but it is very cool.†Jolin spent NT$5,000,000 (143 051 € or USD$162,037) for the first MV shooting, Sandy Lam was shooting in the same location (Arrow Studio in Taipei). They closed the door of their respective studios to avoid song leaks. This MV shooting lasted 3 days: Jolin worked hard, merely took breaks, and could sleep less than 3 hours a day. Her staff’s strong support gave her a fighting spirit. In addition, Jolin’s new album UGLY BEAUTY pre-orders will start on December 5th (physical and digital version). Pre-order version is limited to 10,000 copies. The edition has 4 different covers (randomly shipped) and comes with a 200-page hardcover photobook.
