However, I still think this era is a total mess, especially considering this is her last full album as she stated before. We just deserved MORE, MUCH MORE! And I am not talking about constant delays but about other messy facts, such as We Steal the Night song was promoted on YouTube but scrapped for no reason from the album, we only got ONE music video for In a Heartbeat (and even that was loooong time ago), and only simple lyrics video for Celebrate Everyday, no info if other MVs will be released, no tour/concert announcement yet (what I was expecting from her after years of inactivity) etc etc etc

Naked Truth album is good but it simply deserves MUCH BETTER promo. I am happy it sells well (even if I was not expecting it at all), but let's be honest here, it is kind of a miracle it is selling well and I guess fans are just being "hungry" and feels nostalgic after all these years of inactivity of hers, rather than Elva did a good job with promoting this album. Sorry to say it.

I agree on the fact that this era is unfortunately a mess...
Don't be sorry to say that, it's true. People buying at the moment are most likely at 90% her fans who were waiting eagerly for her new album. If there is no promo coming ahead sales will drop very soon.

According to articles I read Naked Truth is the title song and has a MV. The delays in 2020 were due officially to Covid. But lots of other artists have been able to release albums and singles... Honestly, based on the articles I read, I'll go with pommy's previous comment here. It seems that for the past 3 years she's been trying to heal her body but not her mind... It makes me believe that her depression is still there. I think that's the main reason why the album promo has been so bad and everything scheduled this year has been scrapped.

I don't think there will be a tour anytime soon... Money is in China and right now it's not possible to tour there for Taiwanese artists because of Covid (quarantine, application to go to China...). That's why at the moment there are only Tour concerts held in Taipei or Kaohsiung (eg Cyndi Wang or Jolin Tsai). Rainie Yang has not been able to see her husband Li Ronghao for months, almost for a year now because of China's restrictions.
