| G.E.M. Speaks Out, Drops Re-Recorded Classics in Comeback Album |
Talk about a comeback with bite! After being trapped in a messy legal back-and-forth with her old record label for over six years, Hong Kong’s pop queen G.E.M. (aka Gloria Tang Tsz-kei) is back with a bang—and a brand new album made of old gold.
Her freshly dropped record, titled I AM GLORIA, ain’t just any album. It’s her way of taking back what’s hers: re-recorded versions of the songs that built her career, but from which she apparently hasn’t seen a single cent in royalties since the drama kicked off. Yup, zero. Zilch. Nada. “Six years of royalties. Not a single cent,” she wrote. And we thought ghosting was bad.
Signed at 15, Silenced for Years
Gloria didn’t mince words when sharing her side of the saga. Turns out she signed her first deal at just 15—purely on trust—which ended up keeping her locked out from her own music for years. “A signature based on trust became a lock,” she said, “shutting the door between me and my musical ‘children’.”
And while many might’ve come out swinging with revenge vibes, Gloria’s take is pure poetic resilience: “This isn’t a revenge story—it’s a story of resurrection and redemption.” Goosebumps, yeah?
Music Industry Rallies: “Jiayou, Gloria!”

As soon as she made her announcement, fellow artists rushed in to lift her up. Singer-songwriter Li Ronghao simply reposted with a powerful “It’s out now. Jiayou!” To which Gloria cheekily replied, “Thanks, godfather.” Huang Xiaoyun jumped in with some lyrical love too: “The sky has no limits. Break free and fly toward a bluer tomorrow.”
And she’s not alone—stars like Wang Leehom, Rainie Yang, Jackson Wang, Miriam Yeung, Ouyang Nana, Li Chen, NINEONE, and more have all shown support, either by liking, commenting, or sharing the news. The music scene knows what’s up.
Fighting for Her ‘Children’
In her post, G.E.M. referred to her songs as her “children”—music birthed from emotion and years of effort that had been taken from her. “Support a mother doing everything to reunite with her ‘children’,” she pleaded. It’s raw, it’s real, and honestly, it hits right in the feels.
This re-recording saga is giving major Taylor Swift energy, but in true G.E.M. style—fiery, heartfelt, and full of soul. And as for the album? Already gaining traction online and reminding fans just why she’s been a force since day one.
So if you’ve ever been moved by her music, now’s the time to tune in, stream loud, and show love for an artist who never stopped fighting for her voice—even when the system tried to shut her up.
