Faces of Paranoia (Chinese: 偏執面) is the seventeenth studio album by Taiwanese recording artist A-Mei.

[3] Faces of Paranoia received positive reviews from music critics, who commended its production and hailed it as one of her strongest efforts in her discography.

[17] As the brand director of Greater China she also announced that Show Lo and Rainie Yang have joined the company.

In order to find the most suitable voice expression, A-Mei once locked herself in the recording studio and tried to interpret it with several different singing methods.

[18] The album Faces of Paranoia was recorded at 89 Studio and was mastered by Ted Jensen at Sterling Sound in New York City.

[3] The album's title track, which features the rapper Soft Lipa, is inspired by hip hop and EDM.

And no one could share her worries, so she could only go home again and again to face it alone, which, over time, created the paranoid side of her insanity: stubborn, manic-depressive, and neurotic.

Art director Ma Tianyou gathered stylists from the mainland, Hong Kong, Taiwan, France, Italy, the United Kingdom and other places to create tailor-make exclusive styling clothing for A-Mei.

However, Migu Music, which is affiliated with China Mobile, leaked all of the songs from Faces of Paranoia on the afternoon of June 30, 2014.

[22] A-Mei was both angry and upset, but immediately decided to have the album released early on July 2, and her company Mei Entertainment would also hold the manufacturer legally responsible.

[24] The album's upbeat songs "Dog," "Booty Call," and "Fly High" boldly depict male-female love.

[28][29] To celebrate the commercial success of Faces of Paranoia, A-Mei held a concert at Taichung's Fulfillment Amphitheater on August 31, 2014.

[30] 6,000 free tickets were sold out in a flash, so the organizers opened up the grassland area, attracting 30,000 people to the venue to listen to the concert.

[31] The concert was broadcast simultaneously to a few countries around the globe via Tencent Video's exclusive live webcast cooperation, and it was estimated that hundreds of millions of viewers around the world watched A-Mei's show.

[35] The music video for "Faces of Paranoia" was partly shot in an abandoned psychiatric hospital and touched upon taboo subjects, including domestic violence.

[38] The music video for "Jump In" was directed by Hi-Organic and Kuo Chih-da; it features A-Mei and her backup dancers performing in a dance studio filled with spotlights.

[44][45] On December 28, 2014, A-Mei began selling tickets for the Utopia World Tour concerts to be held at Taipei Arena in April 2015.

[46][47][48] In addition, a precedent was set for Asian singers to introduce customized chip card tickets from Italy.

"[51] Writing for NetEase, Silent Phone commented: "What needs to be emphasized here in Faces of Paranoia is that the latter five tracks are of high quality, and if you put all the chaotic, mutually constraining concepts aside, it's really a half-dozen electronic works that deserve to be selected as the best of the year.

"[52] Liu Shuiji commented: "A-Mei didn't waste this stage of her life, when she was able to enjoy a great deal of autonomy, and that's why she came up with this work.
