CHINA
- Coco Lee's new English album "Exposed"
has been in the works for two years and was officially
released in Hong Kong, Taiwan and China on the 25th.
Soon after its release, record label Sony received an
alarming notice from China announcing that the album is
banned because of sexual lyrical content in the three
tracks "So Good," "Touch," and "No Doubt." In addition,
music videos for these singles were overtly sexual. Coco
defends her work saying that the lyrical content is
common. "'No Doubt' is about a girl who loves dancing.
She uses dance to seduce a guy; 'Touch' is about
remembering an old lover." Sony plans on releasing an
altered version for the Mainland market with these three
tracks lifted from the album. It should be available for
sale within a week. Even though the album is officially
banned, the lyrics and songs are still being broadcasted
and sung in China. Coco explains, "The department that
governs film in China is different from the department
that governs music. Their policies are different. That's
why the film department can broadcast and sing it, but
the album cannot be sold." Coco was recently
photographed kissing her boyfriend Bruce in public but
vows she won't display too much public affection
