About

Changyou (simplified Chinese: 唱游; traditional Chinese: 唱遊; pinyin: Chàngyóu; literally: "singing game/Singing voyage") is an 1998 Mandarin album by Beijing-based singer Faye Wong. It includes 10 tracks in Mandarin, with a bonus disc of 3 Cantonese tracks. The name Chàngyóu (唱遊) is the title of an official Chinese primary school music teaching coursebook which was in use at least as early as 1943. It is still used today as the title of a PRC National Primary School Curriculum textbook, and also in Taiwan. The album title is usually translated as Sing and Play in English sources. Others refer to the album as Song Tour (遊 can mean tour), or as Scenic Tour which was the name of Wong's 1998–1999 concert tour. Sing and Play was the first Chinese album recorded using HDCD techniques. The album was noted for some of its ballads, in contrast to the pop songs which had provided most of Faye Wong's hits around that time. "Red Beans", "Face" and "Love Commandments" were released as singles and achieved lasting popularity.
