Angela Zhang Comes Back With A Hot New Album After Nearly 3 Years!

It has been nearly 3 years since Angela Zhang released a new album. The wait is over, her new album is just around the corner!

Angela Zhang's previous album was in 2009 titled, The 5th Season. Since then many family problems hindered her singing and acting career. Earlier on this year she announced her new album will be released at the end of 2012! One of the song from her album will be "That Girl" which is a cover of Finland girl group EuphoriaOK's "I'm That Girl". In EuphoriaOK's, the members wore bikini and exposed a lot of skin in front of the camera which led Zhang to think the song felt like an adult video.

Being away from the music scene for so long, her fans are eagerly waiting for her new work. In Yahoo! Taiwan's recent music poll, "This summer will see album releases by the pop queens, which is your most anticipated one?" Angela Zhang won with 860,000 votes beating the likes of Amber Kuo, Rainie Yang, Fish Leong, and Jolin Tsai who was last with 350,000 votes.

Zhang wants her fans to see a new side of her with "That Girl". She assured everyone that aside from this more provocative song, there will be serious ones inside her new album. No release date has been set for her new album yet.

By2 Cries While Filming New Music Video

By2 finished filming the MV for their new song "You Don't Understand Me". Many things happened during the filming including laughter and tears.

By2 are twins from Singapore who are currently active singers in Taiwan. They have released 4 albums with the last one released almost a year ago. They recently released a photobook + single. The single was titled "2020 Love You Love You" and composed by them.

In their new MV "You Don't Understand Me", older sister Miko acts as a depressed girl who recently broke up with her boyfriend. The younger sister Yumi puts on a mustache and pretends to be a guy to cheer Miko up. During the filming Yumi goofs off and pretends to be manly and the director tells her that she has the potential to be a comedian. The twins were natural in their acting. One minute they were laughing off camera and the next minute when they're recording, tears ran down their face. The kiss between the sisters were also natural and they said, "We already gave our first kiss to each other a long time ago!"

The staff were a little bit worried when they saw By2 crying so realistically in front of the camera. They question if they have broken up with a guy recently in real life but By2 answered, "We're not crying because of pain from love but we want to be in love and there is nobody that loves us!"
