Rumors that Katy Perry will be on the new album “Happily, Painfully After” by singer Singapore Mandarin @JJ_Lin that will be released on April 21.

R&B- and hip-hop-influenced musician JJ Lin is a Mandopop singer/songwriter from Singapore who emerged to award-winning success with his 2003 debut, Music Voyager. As his popularity soared around Asia with mainstream hits No 89757 (2005) and Cao Cao (2006), he established himself as one of the top male pop stars in the region.

He maintained this reputation with later albums such as 2015’s From M.E. to Myself and 2017’s Message in a Bottle. In 2021, he branched out further into the international market with the English-language Like You Do.

The news comes per a press release, which confirms that the track is set to arrive on streaming platforms on April 7. The single is meant to celebrate the Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) community and will feature as the theme song for an upcoming documentary film, The Bridge.

Helmed by award-winning director Evan Jackson Leong, The Bridge will be a feature-length documentary “celebrating the 50th anniversary of the East West Bank’s founding”. The Bridge is set to release sometime later this year.

Following the release of ‘In The Joy’, JJ Lin will kick off an Australia tour at the Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne on April 8. He then heads to Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena on April 15. The European leg of Lin’s tour will see him performing in Paris and London on April 25 and 30 respectively.

Billed as a celebration of Lin’s 20-year career thus far, the world tour is set to include some of the Mandopop star’s most popular hits. Lin has been performing tracks from throughout his discography for the tour, with tracks from his 2003 debut album ‘Music Voyager’ to his most recent album, ‘Drifter / Like You Do’.
