My Journey (Chinese: 心旅) is the upcoming sixth studio album and debut Chinese-language studio album by Malaysian singer-songwriter, Shila Amzah. It is scheduled to be released physically in May 2016, through Shilala (HK) Limited.[1] Shila began preparing for the album during the same year after she participated I Am a Singer (season 2), and during a significant amount of media scrutiny. Shila was 26 years old at the time of the album's release and she is the first Malay artist to release a full Chinese studio album at Beijing, China.[2]

Musically, the album is mandopop music styled,[2] and lyrically it speaks of romantic relationships and breakups, a couple of Shila wrote from experiencing a relationship before. Lyrics also touch on Shila's personal struggles in life. In contrast to Shila's previous work, the production of My Journey consists of drum programming, synthesizers, pulsating bass, processed backing vocals, and guitars.[2]

Background

Shila released her fifth album, Shila Amzah, on December 10, 2013. This album, My Journey marked a change in Shila's musical style with the experimentation of mandopop. Before Shila finally release a Chinese studio album, Shila suffered struggles with recording contracts with Shanghai Media Group before establishing her own major recording label, Shilala (HK) Limited. The album was delayed almost 2 years. Before this, Shila stated the album will be released by March 2016, but it was delayed to April 2016 because some of her songs were mastered and mixed in the United States of America late.

Album packaging and release

My Journey will be released in May 2016, with seven tracks alongside three bonus tracks.[3] Shila began teasing an announcement in March 2016. On April 22, 2016, Shila unveiled the album cover on Instagram featuring the date of her press conference. On April 30, 2016, Shila held a press conference about her upcoming Chinese-language album.

Singles

On May 28, 2015, Shila released her debut Chinese single in Hong Kong, "再见不再见"[4] through her very own major recording label, Shilala (HK) Limited. The song was written by Liao Yu and composed by Shila herself. This single had been performed live during her Shila Amzah: The Symbol of Love, International Press Conference. The song became an instant hit on Weibo Music when the single reached 1 million downloads in just two days.

On October 1, 2015, Shila performed her second Chinese single in Hong Kong, "再见" during her Shila Amzah Meet & Greet Hong Kong.[5][6] On October 6, 2015, Shila released the single[7] through Shilala (HK) Limited on Weibo Music[8] and iTunes.[9]

"Manusia" was released to contemporary hit radio on May 6, 2016, as the third single from the album.[10]

On May 13, 2016, "相爱" was released to contemporary hit radio as the fourth single from the album.[11][12]
