A Mei gives fans another reason to celebrate

For the past two years, Kulilay Amit, who is better known by her stage name A Mei, has had a hectic tour schedule in Asia. So, releasing a new album was not high on her agenda.

But, upon receiving a demo from Taiwan singer-songwriter Eve Ai, titled Story Thief, A Mei decided to produce an album named after the song.

"During the tour, I was excited and energetic on and off the stage. But once I listened to the song, I instantly fell silent and isolated myself. It was like love at first sight. The melody and lyrics both touched me," says A Mei, who was in Beijing to promote the new album, Story Thief, her 19th studio album.
