Mandopop hottie Lay Zhang (张艺兴) finally made his much-anticipated comeback with his 4th solo album, “蓮” (English translation “Lit”)!

As stated in a press release, the title symbolises the Chinese religious belief of the duality of “Life & Death”. Additionally, the same Chinese character uses the the lotus flower symbol, which is recognised as something that “grows and blossoms out of the dirt/mud”.

This reflects well with the album’s overall concept. In this case, the album comes with two parts which shows Lay’s versatile musical style. Apart from that, it represents a new birth in addition to a new sound that we’ve never heard from the artist before this.
