Wei Chen returns with an even better album, and a lot less of his cute baby fat.

Despite what the first three releases suggested, eeMedia singer Wei Chen‘s second album Daybreak  was not as Kpop as expected. The song features Wei Chen’s first self-composed Zhongguofeng song – 伊人 Yi Ren , with lyrics by Fang Wenshang. Other songs, such as  the beautiful ballad 月光 Moonlight by Wei Chen’s classmate or the half-English fast pop “Party Like a Rockstar“, makes this album definitely even better than his last one.

Listen to Wei Chen’s self-composed Yi Ren below from , who also have a majority of his songs uploaded, below:

While practicing for Disparate, Wei Chen unintentionally lost 10 pounds.

The album Disparate’s Chinese name 千方百计 means “using thousands of ways to do something.” And that’s exactly what his fans have to do to get Vision Wei Chen’s new album, which is sold out at many stores across China since its release five days ago despite his fanclub urging fans to order the first three copies online. His company eeMedia assured fans that the production company is currently working overtime to produce a second stock of the albums.

At his two signing events, too, his albums were sold out. In Beijing, the 4000 albums that the host provided sold out quickly and they had to get 2000 more albums elsewhere. Even then, so many fans could not get albums to sign that Beijing fans are taking over several cars of a train to attend his signing event in Tianjing.

Despite its title song, Disparate is still mostly ballads, including two self-compositions by Wei Chen (Meteor Shower Come Again/流星雨又来临 and 二十三/23), as well as two others with lyrics by him (I don’t cry and Keeping Memories/温存记忆). Wei Chen’s bff Lu Hu also composed four songs for the album – Lunatic’s Wishes/疯人愿, Keeping Memories/温存记忆, I want to Love/我想爱 and Dream’s Blossoming 梦的怒放. Other songs include Chinese-styled fast song Female Detective/ 女捕快, sunshine pop Sunflower’s smile/ 向日葵的微笑 and soft song Passerby/过客 and song for his fans Sweet and Sour/酸酸甜甜
