Star is the fourteenth studio album released by Taiwanese singer A-Mei. It was released on August 3, 2007, by EMI Taiwan.[1] It was produced by A-Mei herself with the assistance of Eric Chen, Ma Yu-fen, Jim Lee, Jamie Hsueh, and Jae Chong.[2] The production of the album takes influence from several genres such as pop, rock, disco, jazz, bossa nova and rock ballads.[3] The lead single "Have You Heard Lately?" premiered on July 11, 2007.
Star received mixed reviews from music critics, who praised the album's arrangements and A-Mei's vocal delivery, but stated that most of the songs lacked enough quality to become classics.[4] It became a massive commercial success for A-Mei, dominating Taiwan's G-Music and five major record charts for four weeks and selling 130,000 copies in Taiwan and 1.7 million copies throughout Asia.[5][6] In her native Taiwan, it became the country's fifth highest-selling album of 2007.[7] A-Mei promoted Star by embarking on the Star World Tour, which spanned 20 concerts in Asia and the United States.[8]
