Star set to shine again

Chinese singer-songwriter Jin Haixin returned to the music scene by signing for Republic Records China, a front line label of the world-leading music entertainment company Universal Music Group in China.

"I am convinced that my voice, rich with the tales I've lived and the melodies I've crafted, can still resonate deeply with my audience — both the dedicated fans who've stood by me over the years and the new generation who've yet to discover my music. This isn't simply a comeback for me. Rather, it's a refreshing start, a new chapter in my musical voyage," says Jin.

The singer-songwriter made her debut in 1999, captivating the pop scene with her hit albums Wake Up Your Ears and So Proud. Her unique voice and musical style attracted a large fan base in the country. Her first two albums also earned her an array of breakthrough artist awards from several major platforms. The following albums, including her self-titled album and Independence Day, further proved her talent and gained recognition from both fans and critics.

According to Republic Records China, Jin's first single after the signing will be a re-imagined version of her iconic hit, So Proud. Jin will once again team up with Tony Wen as co-producers, where they will collaborate to craft an original album.

"Working with Jin again is a testament to our shared vision and mutual trust, forged over the course of our careers. It's an honor to be part of her new journey, witnessing her voice finding new expressions and reach new audiences," says Wen, managing director of Republic Records China.

Jin worked with Wen at the beginning of her career and the signing marks a much-anticipated reunion after a span of 24 years.
