Ugly Beauty is the fourteenth studio album by Taiwanese singer Jolin Tsai, released on December 26, 2018, by Sony and Eternal.[1] Tsai recorded Ugly Beauty throughout 2017 and 2018 with a team of producers including Razor Chiang, Starr Chen, Howe Chen, and Øzi. The album's pop production blends various musical styles such as trap, house, reggae, and gothic rock.[2][3] Tsai's creative inspiration behind the record was to challenge conventional aesthetic standards and to unveil the duality of human emotions. As a result, the album's material delves into themes such as the ugliness hidden behind a seemingly perfect surface and emotions that are frequently suppressed.
The album received positive reviews from music critics, who praised the album's composition, production, as well as the singer's vocal performance.[4] In Taiwan, the Ugly Beauty became the highest-selling album of 2019.[5] It became the highest-selling digital album by a Hong Kong/Taiwanese female artist of all time in China,[6] and it made Tsai the highest-selling digital Hong Kong/Taiwanese female artist of all time in the country.[7] In August 2023, the album's digital sales crossed the 850,000 mark in China.[6]
The album received a total of eight Golden Melody Award nominations.[8] The album was nominated for Album of the Year, Best Mandarin Album, and Best Vocal Recording Album. "Womxnly" was nominated for Song of the Year, the music video of "Ugly Beauty" and "Lady in Red" were nominated for Best Music Video. Tsai was nominated for Best Female Mandarin Singer, and was nominated alongside Starr Chen for Best Single Producer for "Ugly Beauty".[9][10] The album eventually won Album of the Year, and "Womxnly" won Song of the Year.[11] To promote the album, she embarked on her fifth concert tour, the Ugly Beauty World Tour, on December 30, 2019.[12][13]
