- Information
PLAY or Pēi is the 13th studio album released by Jolin Tsai. It was originally released in three versions; two pre-order editions called the "Play Drama Actress" version and the "Absolutely Play Medusa" version, and a regular edition. The Play Drama Actress version comes with a 48-page photobook featuring pictures shot in New York by Serbian photographer Marko Krunic. 24 outfits were designed for her by the American styling team The Blonds. The Absolutely Play Medusa version comes with a 24-page photobook featuring pictures shot in Hong Kong by photographer Wing Shya and a Woohoo mask. Her outfit was designed by Versace. The regular edition comes with posters and a clear pouch.
Pēi (呸) is a homophone of "play", and means "pooh" or "bah" (to spit (with contempt)). The album title, according to Tsai, is intended to relay how script, acting, and performance have helped her gaining experiences and wisdom throughout the past two years. She hopes that with her new witty music and image, fans will find her album to be playful and joyful, as well as bring optimism to the future. Sixty million NTD was budgeted for the album's production.
All tracks (with the exception of "Miss Trouble") on the album are also accompanied by a music video, thus defining it as a visual album. The songs "Diànhuà Hánghòu", "PLAY (Wǒ Pēi)" and "Dì Sān Rénchēng" were released prior to the album's release as the first 3 promotional singles.
The directors of the music videos were: Jeff Chang ("Diànhuà Hánghòu"), Muh Chen ("Play (Wǒ Pēi)" and "I'm Not Yours"), Fu Tienyu ("Dì Sān Rénchēng"), Jennifer Wu ("Medusa"), Scott Beardslee & Kitty Lin ("Dì Èr Xìng"), Thomas Wyatt & Edwin Eversole ("Chún Yǔ" and "Zì Ài Zì Shòu"), Hou Chijian ("Bù Yīyàng Yòu Zěnyàng").
Three months later, a repackaged version of the album entitled "rePLAY Deluxe International Edition" was released. This edition comes with a bonus DVD featuring the nine music videos and a 2015 weekly planner.
