In tune with herself

From Super Girl to 'Asian hero', Li Yuchun has always followed her own musical path, resulting in an original and unique body of work and a loyal fan base, Chen Nan reports.

Two years ago, while on a trip to Tokyo, Chinese singer-songwriter Li Yuchun was intrigued by the cover of an album by French group Club Cheval that she found in a record store. The cover art of Discipline shows six rows of identical men, all with shaved heads and the same black tops, facing the same direction-all except one.

After listening to the album, which is a mixture of electronic music and rhythm and blues, Li did some research on the internet. She found out that the group, consisting of four French indie musicians, Canblaster, Myd, Sam Tiba and Panteros666, has distinctive features.

She contacted the group and initiated the idea of collaboration, which eventually came to fruition and turned out to be Li's new single, entitled Wa. They not only wrote and produced the song together, but also recorded the song as a band.
