Faye Wong Wikipedia
Faye Wong (王菲) is a self-titled album by Chinese singer Faye Wong. Her first recording with EMI, it was recorded in Beijing and released in 1997, around the time that she relocated to Beijing after several years of success in Hong Kong.[1]
All tracks are sung in Mandarin. This album is filled with feelings of lethargy, languor, drowsiness and disengagement, yet most of the songs sound warm and sweet.
The album continued Wong's collaboration with the Cocteau Twins, which began with Random Thoughts in 1994 and Fuzao in 1996. They wrote the fourth track on this album, 'Amusement Park', especially for Faye Wong. Track 8 'Reminiscence' (or 'Nostalgia') is a cover of 'Rilkean Heart' from their 1996 album Milk and Kisses.[2]
Track 5, 'Mortal World', was composed by Miyuki Nakajima. Nakajima had also written Wong's 1992 breakthrough song 'Fragile Woman'. 'Mortal World' was also a hit single and became the closing song with which Wong would end her concerts thereafter. Nakajima re-recorded the song in Japanese as 'Streams of Hearts' (清流, Seiryū) on her 1998 album Be Like My Child.
This album has several covers, including a limited edition 3D cover.[3]
The album sold better in Taiwan and mainland China than in Hong Kong, which was hit at that time by the Asian financial crisis, and where Wong's old company Cinepoly released a compilation of her old songs to compete with EMI.

As a result, she caused something of a sensation when, in 1996, she announced that she was married and expecting her first child. The impending birth did little to diminish her popularity. In May 1997 she signed with EMI, through which, with the resources that were now behind her, she became instantly more accessible to the public. In the same year she won a Billboard award for most popular Asian singer and played a show in Taiwan to an audience of 20,000 fans. '

Fable[1][2][3][4] (alternatively Legend[5]Chinese: 寓言; pinyin: Yùyán) is a 2000 Mandarin album by Beijing-based C-pop singer Faye Wong.
The album can be considered in three sections. The first five tracks deal with certain aspects of Buddhism, incorporating motifs from fairy tales, especially Cinderella. The next three are radio-friendly pop songs. The next two, 'Farewell Firefly' and 'Book of Laughter and Forgetting,' are somewhat more complex musically; they are sung in Mandarin and are followed by alternate versions in Cantonese, 'Firefly' and 'Love Letters to Myself.'
The first five songs form a song cycle and were composed by Faye Wong herself, marking her further development as a songwriter.[6] Three of them featured as the final segment of every performance in Wong's 2010–2012 Comeback Tour.
All the lyrics on the album are by Lin Xi, and tracks 1–5 were produced by Zhang Yadong, both of whom were regularly collaborating with Wong during this period of her career.[6]Alvin Leong produced tracks 6–12.

'Her album Fable, released in October, began to focus on Wong's faith, as the first part of the album centred on the teachings of Buddhism. In 2001, Wong, now enthralled by the Buddhist faith, began to focus on the Japanese market and in April appeared on the front cover of Frau magazine. By the summer she was singing 'Separate Ways,' the theme song to the popular Japanese TV drama Usokoi, and in October she performed live in the country for the first time. In the following month she was named Artist of the Month on MTVChina. She also released the 'Buddhist' single in Hong Kong. In November a double release, Loving, Kindness and Wisdom, highlighted Wong's devotion to her newfound faith, as the first part of the album featured Buddhist chants. Later in November a 'best of' album was released.'
