HANGZHOU, China, Sept. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — On September 15, Adam Fan’s new album SKYFALL makes exclusive debut on NetEase Cloud Music. Meticulously crafted by top international production teams and Grammy-nominated producers, SKYFALL features 10 tracks spanning melodic rap, rage rap, trap, rock-infused rage rap, and other styles. With every track refined to meet world-class production standards, the album showcases Fan’s musical versatility and creative edge, marking a dramatic transformation in his global music career.
The album’s title track, SKYFALL, has been released as an advance single on September 8 and reached No.1 on NetEase Cloud Music’s Rising Chart (飙升榜), Popular Recommendations Chart (全民热推榜), and Heartbeat Chart (心动榜) that same day. To date, the song has received more than 300,000 comments from listeners. This song was produced jointly by Fan and Lawson, a leading American hitmaker who has produced for superstars such as The Weeknd and Playboi Carti. The song seamlessly blends ethereal, hazy, atmospheric melodies with deep self-examination. Through its lyrics and composition, Fan delves into his inner world—confronting the high-pressure pace behind his success, his inner struggles, and the loneliness at the very top. SKYFALL demonstrates Fan’s evolution from a C-POP idol into an avant-garde, internationally oriented musician.
Fan has successfully crossed over from C-POP and acting, making a striking impression with SKYFALL, an internationally oriented urban rap album. The album boasts a stellar songwriting and production lineup: it was crafted entirely by leading hitmaking teams who have worked with global icons such as Drake, The Weeknd, Playboi Carti, Beyoncé, Yeat, and Trippie Redd. The album moves from late-night uncertainty, loneliness and intense introspection (SKYFALL and CHANCES) into the dark aesthetic of raw, industrial rage rap (TTTM, ERROR, and MAKE IT ROCK), ultimately arriving at a celebration party with cinematic trap and lush-flowing (GO GIRL, HEARD OF US, MAKE IT MAKE SENSE, and PINK).
