Articles are saying that by doing this "she's following the current trend of the music industry".
Especially in China, singers barely release albums, or it's one in a billion years. It's like EPs and mostly singles everywhere.
I'm more into albums, so I find it a bit sad too.

Elva released a video a few hours ago on her FB account (at midnight Taiwan time, Nov. 17th is the day of her 20th anniversary). She confirmed that Naked Truth will most likely be her last full album*, she will consider releasing only singles in the future. The Tour is also confirmed.
She's thanking her fans, relatives, family and friends for their support during her hard times in the last few years.
*Since she stated "full album", maybe we can hope for EPs... |
I wonder if aMEI will end up following. She's 19 albums in at this point, like Jolin is now 15 in? IIRC. I was very surprised to see Angela Chang do a new album, considering her last couple records haven't been very successful at all. (I didn't like Head Over Heels at all! Didn't sound like she put much effort at all into the album...)
But still, Yisa Yu, Stef Sun, Tanya Chua, even Sandy Lam... I just can't imagine them moving to this singles/EP market. Especially Stef. Since her return in 2011, she's just completely shook me with It's Time, Kepler, and then Dancing Van Gogh... Her work really is around the album. Same with aMEI. I discovered her in 2014 with FOP... and everything she's done since then has been a top song or album. I still can't get over Story Thief... It's one of the most beautiful records I've ever listened to.
If Elva goes that route, I just want to see the energy again. Elva is someone I have to watch AND listen to. She just brings so much presence as a performer.
