Taiwan "bad boy" Chang Chen Yue treated Beijing fans to an
energetic show on Tuesday night, proclaiming his return to the
music scene.
Chang Chen Yue was in Beijing promoting his album, entitled
"OK," his first in five years.
Appeared in his signature "bad boy" image, the 33-year-old rock
singer generated a pogo mob among his delirious audience at Star
Live.
The night was a mixture of old and new tunes. Chang Chen Yue
performed a dozen of his hits, among which was the 1998 smash hit
Ai Wo Bie Zou (don't leave if you love me), which
was covered by Jay Chou at his 2004 Incomparable Concert.
New songs included Pining is a Kind of Illness, a hit
single from OK.
The new album, released earlier in July, was rechristened
Pining is a Kind of Illness when released on the Chinese
mainland.
Set in a retrospective tone, it collects 11 love ballads, which,
the singer has said in a previous interview, demonstrates changes
in his sound from loud rock to slow, thoughtful tunes.
He ascribes the changes to the experiences he's gained during
his silent years.
