Nothing lately except for magazine photoshoots & promo pics/CF for her endorsements.
It seems that she won't release a new album before 2016...

[Yoake]

Thanks for your answer.
I'm a bit sad that there is none new song, even none digital release or a collaboration.

[Linoa62]

So I wonder if the 36,800 copies sold thing was actually only copies shipped to stores or if digital pre-orders were included in this number... Because according to an article I've just read about physical sales in Taiwan, Rainie sold less than 20,000 copies of A Tale of Two Rainie in 2014.
Not bad considering that Angel Wings sold 32,000 copies in 5 months and here she sold less than 20,000 copies in only 2 weeks.

I.m glad that she.s taking a break. The last album didn.t do much for me. She.ll probably come with an inspiring album in 2016.

[Mary-Tina]

New album "年輪說 (Nian Lun Shuo/Rings)" will be released on Sep. 30.
There will be two preorder versions:
Eternal version - Preorder gift: 10 Pieces of Polaroid accompanied by Rainie’s handwritten notes
Love version - Preorder gift: 10 Pieces of Postcard each postcard will expose Rainie’s deepest secret

Description from yesasia:

Entering her 17th anniversary, Rainie Yang croons about her transformation in the tenth album Nian Lun Shuo on the theme of time. Penned by Sodagreen's Wu Qing Feng, the main plug Nian Lun Shuo takes listeners through the singer's journey of growth. Utilizing 360-degree virtual reality technology, the song's music video teaser creates a maze-like world that depicts the confusion of falling in love.

Finally!!!!! I didn't wait it anymore. Nice surprise!

The blurred and black promo pics are really nice. I'm not fond of the white pics.

The song is ok. It's a nice ballad but she has more beautiful ballads in her discography. The arrangement isn't my cup of tea. From time to time it reminds me background music that you can hear in restaurant.

New song 青春住了誰 (Qing Chun Zhu Le Shei) (Youth Lies Within)!

[Yoake]

I saw it on FB. Nice song. Do you know when it'll be released?

[Mary-Tina]

It was released yesterday. ^_^ I uploaded it on mega HERE

She is always so beautiful, I like most of her ballads.

I have tried so many times to get into her music. It's just slightly off for me. I wish I could truly figure out something to appreciate from her music. She's released so much, and I absolutely love her themes, but it's this odd mix of her voice and the style of music that isn't clicking for me. And it's odd because she reminds me a lot of Hebe Tien, but I can't dig into her melodies like I can Hebe's.

Have you tried these? If you can't get into them then it's a bummer
