Zhang Li Yin and the Debut Album
Finally, it’s about time this girl had an album come out. I think SM did a good job to wait a while before her first album because she could not go around promoting while singing the way she did with Junsu in Timeless. (I still remember the pain). But she is such a great talent that her fans were impatient for this album and it’s finally here.
It’s a chinese album and it will feature One More Try, Why and Timeless. Han Geng from Super Junior will sing on the album along with Si Won (also from Super Junior).
Here’s a preview of her music video for her albums first official single, “I Will”:
Her voice is so powerful. They should stop calling her the Chinese BoA because honestly BoA has nothing on this girl. She is more like the Chinese Christina Aguilera, but really I shouldn’t even compare her with anyone. Not because she’s an amazing singer (she’s certainly not better that Xtina) but because I’m getting really tired of the silly titles, “The Second blah” or “The Chinese blah” it’s ridiculous. She reminds me of Christina Aguilera because they have the same timbre to their voices.
Anywho, a good third of her album has already been heard before, most have heard Y, One More Try and Timeless. And there is also the song A Flame for You, but I really don’t think I should subject anyone to watching that performance. She does a good job singing, but the dance moves? Yikes. Just close your eyes.
As the preview suggests Zhang Li Yin’s album will drop on February 27th. EDI: the full version of the MV is releaded on February 27th… And SM is releasing the album when we all turn 80.

so, i thought she went a bit deeper on that one like whoa… really did sound like christina aguilera though.. but hey, not totally, and Ive never come across someone who even COULD replicate her voice so good job!! also, in the video clip, when i saw the blood, i was like oh… Lies?? hahaha

LOL Nia I think you ruffled princess.xtina’s poor feathers.
& I like Christina but I don’t think I’d be able to listen to her songs for hours on end. It’s not just her specifically, it’s anybody who has a really characteristically “diva” voice.
And the date in the preview is when the music video is coming out, still no official word on when the album is releasing.

Agree… I think she’s like a chinese Christina Aguilera.

Umm…Jang Ri In has a strong voice but whats up with the Di Ai—high high pitch? Its so weird. I rather prefer her Korean songs over her Chinese songs. She doesn’t sound so good in chinese in my opinion. God, what have SM done to her ?
