Description

Mixing flaws and strengths together, this seemingly contradictory yet captivatingly whimsical beauty is the musical style that leaves people stunned and infatuated, which is the unique whimsical humor and bittersweet paradox of Joanna Wang.

In the all-English album 'Modern Tragedy', Joanna sings about the tangled emotions of life through the lens of comedy and tragedy. In 2019, Joanna broke out of the framework of cover albums and released 'The Call of Love', combining classic love songs from the 60s to 80s with Western psychedelic music, winning the Best Mandarin Album at the 31st Golden Melody Awards. In 2024, the song 'Tina's Hausu' from the album 'Hotel La Rut' was nominated for the Golden Melody Award for Best Single Producer and the Golden Indie Music Award for Best Rock Song. In the same year, she released a new English album 'Hotel La Rut' with 23 songs, unveiling a world of black humor through the various characters in her heart.

Although the characters may encounter heartbreaking and cruel things in real life, in their own imaginations, the world is beautiful, full of hope, and even victorious in impracticality. It is often through these characters that we hear the forgotten, ignored, and constrained parts of ourselves.

This brand-new tour, titled after the 12th song 'There She Smiles (In a Memory)' from the 'Hotel La Rut' album, aims to sing songs from a perspective of 'happiness and sorrow'. Everyone living in the loop of memories can feel the subtle thoughts, secret fantasies, melancholy revelry, and elegant euphoria in Joanna's music. Not going back, not going forward, just standing there, in the universe of Joanna's music, spinning, jumping, and smiling in memories.

In addition to continuing the classic songs from the 'Call of Love' tour, Joanna Wang has also selected some of her favorite singers and songs, including those she has never performed before, to surprise the audience!
