Background and development edit
On August 13, 2010, Tsai released her eleventh studio album, Myself.[6] It sold more than 65,000 copies in Taiwan, and it became the year's highest-selling album by a female artist and the year's fourth highest-selling album overall in the country.[7] On December 24, 2012, Tsai embarked on her third concert tour Myself World Tour.[8]
On February 22, 2012, Warner Music Greater China's president Sam Chen revealed that Tsai's new album would be released in the summer of the year and was in the stage of collecting songs.[9] On June 12, 2012, Tsai revealed that the album would be released in August 2012, and she would pick ten out of fifteen recorded songs to include on the album.[10] Tsai's manager Tom Wang said: "She is very careful about the album and spends the most time recording it. Some of the songs were recorded again and again. She also put a lot of her own ideas on music, music video, and artwork."[11] On July 10, 2012, Tsai revealed that the album would be released around her birthday on September 15, 2012.[12] On July 23, 2012, Tsai revealed that she had finished recording the album.[13]
Writing and production edit
"The Great Artist" describes a womanizer from a female perspective, and it encourages women to hold on to brave attitude and believe they will eventually meet true love.[14] It is different from Tsai's previous dance songs with multiple emotional transitions and more difficult scales in the rap part.[15] Tsai said: "The song is special, besides its heavy beat, it merged the genre of electronic music, the melody is something I've never tried to interpret before, and it encompasses my own attitude, since the lyrics by Matthew Yen is incisive, girls should have their own ideas, so when I record this song, I put myself into the personality of becoming a strong woman."[16] "Wandering Poet" depicts the joy and sorrow of an egocentric romantic poet from the opposite angle.[17] Songwriter Peggy Hsu said: "The music arrangement seems to be telling a story. It is a little classical, but it is a little complicated with pitch shifts and changes of speed and rhythm. However, Tsai's singing style and tone made the song imply a poet's loneliness that can be understood by most people."[18]
"Dr. Jolin" was inspired by the 2012 phenomenon, and it encourages people to look at the real world with their true selves and humor.[19] "Mosaic" depicts a woman who lost herself in love to appeal to a man's vision.[20] The upbeat rhythm of "Spying on You Behind the Fence" well complements its playful lyrics, it uses "fence" to metaphor the distance of love, and it depicts people who in a love relationship often doubt their own happiness because of their pessimistic personality.[21] "Fantasy" was inspired by the emotional life of gay community, and Tsai said: "I Hope it dedicates true love to everyone, because in the world of love, everyone is equal."[22]
Songwriter Tanya Chua talked about "I": "When I met with Tsai, she said she wanted to sing a song exclusively for herself.[23] Although it is ballad but it is not a love song, it is about facing herself without spotlight and applause completely. I was touched by her willingness to share her vulnerability, so I asked Xiao Han to write the lyrics for her, I hope through 'I' we can walk into Tsai's inner world, and feel we are all the same."[24] "Beast" was Tsai's first songwriting work following "Metronome" from her 2007 album Agent J, and Tsai said: "There are some happy or sad things going on around me, such as love stories and funny things, so they are always sources of inspiration."[25] "Friday the 13th" was inspired by the jokes among party friends, and it encourages single people to have fun on Valentine's Day.[26] Tsai said "Color Photos" reminded her of photos that fans collected for her, and she added: "Everyone's every photo is full of kinds of feelings, even if photos have begun to yellowed or faded, but memory is still as beautiful as color of the past."[27] In "Someone", Tsai expressed her appreciation for Tizzy Bac's live performing style, and she hoped to explore more of her vocal potential with the song.[28]
Title and artwork edit
In ancient Greek religion and mythology, Muses are nine inspirational goddesses of literature, science, and arts. In current English usage, "muse" can refer to a person who inspires an artist, musician, or writer.[29] Tsai described: "The meaning behind 'Muse' is inspiration. For me, art is not only profound and difficult for people to understand, but it is actually something you live around. Maybe some people use paintings to convey what they feel, so I'm singing and performing, so I want to bring art to my performance."[30]
On July 23, 2012, Tsai released a series of promotional photos for the album, and they were photographed by Guillaume Millet and features Tsai wearing costume designed by Chen Shao-yen.[31] Chen Shao-yen said: "[The costumes were] inspired by French show girls of the 1930s, at that moment divas often performed in a neutral yet sexy outfits, exuding a charming glamour, much like Tsai herself and this album."[32] With a total of NT$8 million budget, this series of promotional photos were photographed in Paris, France.[33] The second series of promotional photos were photographed at Musée des Arts Forains in Paris, France, and they features Tsai wearing costumes designed again by Chen Shao-yen.[34] Chen Shao-yen said: "After listened to her 'The Great Artist', her graceful dance moves emerged in my mind, but the lyrics used the great artist to describe love player, I think this song encourages girls to have both sexy and brave attitude to deal with love, so I had an inspiration to design the outfit that hugged her curves cleverly."[35]
The promotional photos photographed in France were included on the pre-order version "Muse of Dream", and the cover art and artwork of another pre-order version "Muse of Love" features Tsai wearing outfits designed by Tomas Chan.[36] The cover art of the single "The Great Artist" features Tsai wearing silver headdress of Miao people in Yunnan, China, and the collector said the headdress was acquired by his ancestor when he traveled to China in the 18th or 19th century.[37] The cover art and artwork of the album's standard edition were photographed by Tong Meng, and the album's package was designed by Aaron Nieh.[38] The cover art and artwork of the album's deluxe edition were photographed by Liang Su, and the package was designed again by Aaron Nieh.[39]
