- Adam Fan released his debut full-length English-language album "Skyfall," targeting international audiences alongside the music video for focus track "Make It Make Sense."
- "Skyfall" is produced by Hits Rhythm and A WW Productions, with outside-China distribution handled through a partnership between Hits Rhythm and Pacific Music Group.
- The album features Grammy-nominated Western producers, with the title track cowritten by American artist Lawson — whose previous credits include The Weeknd and Playboi Carti's "Timeless."
- Focus track "Make It Make Sense" was written and produced by Puku, whose credits include Partynextdoor and Drake's "Something About You."
- Other tracks on the 12-song album include "Go Girl," "TTTM," "Error," "Make It Rock," "Pink" and "Heard of Us."
- Adam Fan first rose to prominence via Chinese survival show "Idol Producer," debuted in boy group Nine Percent, and has since starred in "The Journey Across the Night" and "Keep Running," amassing a combined 100 million-plus social media following across China and Asia.
Why it matters: Adam Fan brings a 100-million-plus following built through Idol Producer, Nine Percent, and Chinese variety TV into a Western push — and the album's distribution deal with Pacific Music Group is the mechanism designed to convert that Asian fanbase into international streaming traction. The Western-heavy producer credits (Lawson, Puku) signal an explicit bet that Western-pop sonics, not just Mandarin-language crossover, will drive that globalization.
