Aphasia (Chinese: 失語者; pinyin: shīyǔ zhě) is the tenth Mandarin-language studio album by Singaporean singer-songwriter Tanya Chua, released on 13 November 2015 by AsiaMuse Entertainment.

[1] The meaning behind the album title aphasia refers to the neurological disorder that impairs speech, reading, or writing.

She decided to employ experimental and electronic forms of music which were not her forte to act as a metaphor, representing isolation which has become the epitome of modern life.

She flew to Taipei, San Francisco, London, and Paris for two years to complete the album, which she called her most "crashing" yet.

[7] On 28 October 2015, Chua released the album's pre-order teaser on her YouTube channel, and on 6 November, she released her first single from the album, "Strange Species", along with the music video which was directed by Taiwanese director Chen Hung-i (陳宏一) and was shot in Paris to capture the loneliness, fragility, indulgence, and detachment of the collective emotions in a busy urban night scene.
