Ugly Beauty is the fourteenth studio album by Taiwanese singer Jolin Tsai, released on December 26, 2018, by Sony and Eternal. The album was produced by Starr Chen, Razor Chiang, Howe Chen, Øzi, and Tsai herself. Tsai also organized a music creation camp with other songwriters, participating in the collective creation of several tracks on the album. Musically, Ugly Beauty is a pop record that blends various genres such as trap, house, reggae, and gothic rock. The creative inspiration behind the record was to challenge conventional aesthetic standards and to unveil the duality of human emotions. As a result, the album's material delves into themes such as the ugliness hidden behind the surface and emotions that are frequently suppressed. The album received widespread critical acclaim, with critics praising its unified concept, Tsai's relaxed and expressive vocal delivery, and its refined production, which was considered to lead the Mandarin pop music scene. The album was released physically in Taiwan, where it topped the year-end album sales chart in 2019. From Wikipedia (
