”I'm a black star with no light | But so what? I'll glow again | My dream glows bright in my heart | I'm a black star that'll light up, you'll see~ This is my new life motto. I feel so inspired.”

”My favourite part is this: 'No matter how far a black star falls | It's still a star that can glow again'. It's a heartbreaking but very hopeful song. I feel uplifted after listening to it. Now it's stuck in my head.”

”I can't wait until 'Rebirth' is released next week!”

”Me too! I never looked forward to any song or album by Iris Long before. This is the first time.”

”Don't even compare her old music to 'Black Star'. Although her old songs are catchy and extremely popular during that time, I cringe whenever I hear them now.”

”Ahaha! That's so true. I remember a few weeks ago, I was driving to work while stuck in traffic and the radio happened to play one of Iris' old songs. I almost bashed my head against the steering wheel. It was so annoying! I immediately changed to another radio station.”

”Iris just said in the interview that she really composed all the songs in her album. If this is true, then she's really amazing.”

”Poster above, don't be naïve. A lot of singers say that. They contribute one word or one note and they're already claiming that they composed the whole song. Ptui! I'll believe that Iris Long can play the piano since I've seen it with my own eyes in her live performance tonight, but composing songs? And all the songs in her upcoming album at that? Hah! I'll eat my slippers if she's really telling the truth.”

”But thanks to singers like her, people like my boyfriend can earn a living. My boyfriend is a ghost composer. The pay is not too bad, especially if the song becomes a hit or is sung by a popular singer.”

”What?! Iris Long used a ghost composer? Hmph. How dare she claim to compose all the songs herself? How shameless!”

”Yeah! There's nothing wrong with not composing your own songs. A majority of singers are like that. Even Jin Chonglin doesn't compose all of his songs. In fact, Iris was like that before as well. But claiming songs she didn't compose as songs that she composed is just too shameless!”
