It is funny how little is said about the music rather than the musician, no matter how adamant she is about her privacy. By adopting an aloof persona, Her Highness Faye Wong has attracted attention nevertheless, even if her intentions suggest otherwise. Well, it must work well for the artiste then - free publicity and still, the power to wield her prima donna status. She never quite fades behind her music, does she? You might have heard of her less-than-typical love life with a certain young stud. Or how big her baby girl has grown. Now she is in the news again - as the lead of Japanese soap opera Usokoi. What would you know? Faye also happens to sing the theme song “Separate Ways” hence the release of this EP.

This EP contains the original version and also, the 128-beat mix of “Separate Ways”. Although it is evident that Faye's grasp of the Japanese language is uncertain, the song still carries her usual ethereal feel and as such, makes it soothing to listen to. It also brings with it an upbeat atmosphere, which may remind you of summer. The other tracks are recycled from previous albums, including the airy “Eyes On Me” featured in the role-playing game Final Fantasy VIII and the Mandarin track “Xiang Nai Er”.
