Ready for some brand new tunes from Wang Leehom (王力宏)?
If you’ve been following Leehom on social media, you’d know that the 41-year-old musician has been teasing fans about the release of his new album, “A.I. 愛”. Today (Friday, 15th September), the singer has delivered on his promise by releasing not 1, but 2 songs,
So why the album title “A.I. 愛”? A.I. is the acronym for artificial intelligence. It is also a direct translation to the word love (愛). In a world that’s ever evolving, “A.I. 愛” seeks to explore the significance of artificial intelligence in shaping popular culture when technology meets love. However, Leehom also notes that human morality, philosophy, religion, literature, and art can’t be duplicate by artificial intelligence.
What you may not know is that “A.I. 愛” is split into 4 mini albums. “A.I. 愛 Episode 1” features 2 songs, the title track “A.I. Love” and “World Without Tears (沒有眼淚的世界)”. “A.I. Love” is a groovy uptempo tune while “World Without Tears” is a guitar-driven ballad. It is believed that each mini album will have at least 2 brand new songs. The full-length album of “A.I. 愛” will only hit stores after the aforementioned 4 mini albums are released.
Here’s a look at behind-the-scenes “A.I. Love” music video:

UPDATE (20th September, 2pm):
A week after the full audio track was released, we finally have the visual to “A.I. 愛”. Although the female robot is slightly creepy, the message of the song is clear. Are robots slowly replacing humankind for companionship?
