CRI听力:Singer Cui Zige Releases New Song

Today, our showbiz stories start from music:

Chinese young pop singer Cui Zige has recently released a new song called "Roller Coaster" or Guo Shan Che (过山车)in Chinese.

Some listeners think her new song sounds similar to her earlier hit that was the theme song of the hot web drama series "Go Princess Go", but her new song features some modern elements.

The singer has become increasingly recognized for the theme song of the popular drama series.

Roller Coaster, which depicts embarrassing love, will also be the cover song for her new album in 2016.

Cui first grabbed much public attention since the debut of her song "Bu-Gua" ("卜卦"), known as "divination" in English, in 2011. That song had fascinated an incredibly large number of netizens and has become quite a hit online.
