It's an amazing change when a caterpillar (毛毛虫) turns into a butterfly. That just might explain Taiwan
singer Jolin Tsai's choice of name for her latest album (唱片／专辑).
On March 27, Tsai will release Flower Butterfly, her first album for Warner, the company she signed to
recently.
The 28-year-old Tsai is known for the challenges she takes on. This time it is ballet. For the video that
goes with the album, she had to pirouette (用脚尖旋转) 20 times without stopping. It was hard going. When
she started training she couldn't even manage to spin (旋转) three times.
'It took me longer to learn the move than anything I've ever tried!'she said.
If the ballet was hard, the photo for the album art may have been harder. Tsai had to hang upside down
from a wire for an hour. It was so that her shadow (影子) would seem like a butterfly spreading its wings.
But Tsai is facing another challenge. Her old record company (唱片公司), EMI will release an album of
music Tsai recorded when she was with the label. This means that Flower Butterfly will be fighting it out in
the market with old Jolin music.
But Tsai didn't seem to care about the problems with her old company:
'I've trained myself to be strong. I hope that other girls will follow my example and be themselves. Don't
be afraid of what other people say. One day you'll turn into a beautiful butterfly.'
