Ugly Beauty is the fourteenth studio album by Taiwanese singer Jolin Tsai, released on December 26, 2018, by Sony and Eternal.[1] Working with a team of producers including Razor Chiang, Starr Chen, Howe Chen, and Øzi, Tsai's creative inspiration behind the record was to challenge conventional aesthetic standards and to unveil the duality of human emotions.

Writing and recording

[edit]

"Ugly Beauty" has trap, hip hop, and drum & bass influences.[46] It is an up-tempo dance song where Tsai responds positively to criticisms that are being made in the song, with lyrics such as, "If you can't see my beauty, you must be blind."[47] "Hubby" is an upbeat dance song with heavy backing vocals to enhance the lively atmosphere. Tsai said, "I hope this song could be everybody's wedding march." "Womxnly" was inspired by the story of Yeh Yung-chih. It speaks about the absence of an established framework for gender identity. Tsai has constantly advocated for human rights campaigns, including LGBT rights and same-sex marriage. Tsai said: "People do not have to live in the established framework of society; a boy that has femininity doesn't necessarily mean a bad thing, and masculinity is not something every boy desires to have." Musically, it merged the genres of tropical house and dancehall, featuring instrumentation from Southeast Asia's musical instruments.[48]

"Life Sucks" is a future bass song. Tsai used a lazy vocal timbre to speak about the negative aspect of one's personality, and she said: "This song talks about the things you don't want to do but have to face in life. We can only tell ourselves that the negativity will eventually leave us." "Lady in Red" was described as "a sense of ghost story." It contains pop sounds and mumble rap influences, and Tsai sings in a deeper tone. "Karma" is a reggaeton song talking about having a breakup in relationships and dealing with an ex-lover, and Tsai described that the song accompanies the black humorous style of lyrics and delivers the message that "living well is the best revenge." "Romance" is a ballad talking about the reality of modern love relationships. With its classic piano sound and electronic melody, Tsai sings over a tune consisting of gothic rock and urban R&B. Tsai said: "Sometimes romance is established, as all the fairy tales go; the princess and the prince get married and lead a happy life ever since, but nobody tells us what will happen after marriage."

"Sweet Guilty Pleasure" speaks about the love game and incorporates bounce beats. Tsai said: "Knowing your body is also knowing your own desires; society has to tell everybody such a concept, so people will not hurt others due to curiosity." "Necessarily Evil" incorporated hardcore hip hop with trap and gothic rock styles; it also accompanies "devil's voices," shouting sounds, and synths. Tsai used a deeper vocal register to intone the lyrics to express a sense of conflict between repression and emancipation, and the lyrics carry a message of being fearless of evil in the inner world. Tsai said, "I want to use this song to tell everybody it's horrible to enter your inner world, but it will become not that evil when you're ready to face it." 1960s-inspired rock and roll and soul music formed the backbone of "Vulnerability," where Tsai sings about what should be the real courage in love relationships.[49] "Shadow Self" is a slow-paced alternative R&B song that features the sounds that often appear in Tsai's dreams. Inspired by Carl Jung's psychological term "shadow", the song was written through live instruments and musical improvisation in the studio. Tsai said: "Dream is a spiritual journey of loneliness, and I believe in the words the subconscious wants to tell me."[50]

Artwork and packaging

[edit]

On November 27, 2018, Tsai released the cover art of the album's pre-order limited edition and the first series of promotional artworks for the album, which were shot by Chinese photographer Zhong Lin and directed by Malaysian stylist Yii Ooi.[51] The artwork, themed similar to "The Mouth of Truth", depicts the singer with weak eyes with an exaggerated lip-shaped adornment making a strange gesture. The artwork conveys the message of breaking the conventional concept of beauty and ugliness.[52]

On December 14, 2018, Tsai released the cover art of the album's standard edition and the second series of promotional artworks, which were shot by Taiwanese photographer Icura Chiang and directed by Hong Kong stylists Tungus Chan and Matthew Chan.[53] The artwork features the singer with wet hair in a black strapless bodysuit and a suit jacket designed by British fashion designer Gareth Pugh. The artwork intends to remind people to be aware of the existence and benefits of negative emotions.[54]

Inspired by the Greek myth story of "Pandora's Box," the package of the album's standard edition was designed by Taiwanese designer Yen Po-chun, who described that the myth, which exhorts people to have hope, is well suited with the album's theme of exploring the good and evil of human nature.[55] The package of the album's pre-order limited edition uses a cloth box, and the edition presents a 200-page photo diary with four different cover arts.[56]
