Singer G.E.M has announced through Weibo her upcoming album, and has already released the first track ‘Long Distance (多远都要在一起)’, which was also previewed at the 2015 CCTV New Year Gala. Today, she released the second track ‘One Way Road (單行的軌道)’, a powerful but also semi-jazzy ballad about not being happy, always stuck on the same one way road and never being able to go anywhere. This is another one of her emotional self-composed and self-written pieces spilling out her emotions and her past experiences with love and relationships. I think that many people can connect with this song and it’s meaning; how it’s so hard to shake off something that’s been stuck with you forever, whether it be a relationship or a conflict. G.E.M always impresses me with her skill in lyrics and music, especially at such a young age of 23. This album is looking very promising.

Btw no one needs to know but I finally paid for a VIP account on xiami and it has made my life. Abuse it as hell I shall. :D
If you pay for VIP does it let you listen to Xiami overseas? I’ve been resorting to listening to it via Weibo, but I keep forgetting and closing the tab.
Yes! And it’s a really good deal, I can’t believe I took so long to find out about it. It’s USD36 for 1 year VIP membership, overseas access and 1500 mp3 downloads.
It would be nice if they told you about it next to the giant BLOCKED page. Did you pay via alipay? Do you know if they or alipay take U.S. credit cards?
Ikr! I created a taobao account so I could pay via PayPal.
Paying in USD was somehow very much more expensive than paying in RMB I realised?
Hi Keliee! Great song!! The way she sings gets a little tiring after a while though ><
Hi! Yeah, I’m a big fan of her voice but I do see how some people think that way. She sings heavily through her nose and that get’s a little annoying sometimes.
Welcome! <3
I'm sad she's not performing at I am a Singer tomorrow. I think it's kind of arbitrary to say that they can't sing their own songs for the gala performance. This is especially because I'm annoyed at Anson for not having sung any of his own songs the whole show.
Thanks for the warm welcomes! Yeah, I was looking forward to seeing her. Now there’s so much Media hate toward her.
Welcome Keliee!!
Thanks! I’m so glad to be part of this community! :)
