Di-Dar is the ninth Cantonese studio album by Chinese recording artist Faye Wong, released on 22 December 1995, through Cinepoly. The album marked a shift from Wong's earlier style as she incorporated British psychedelic rock and ragga into her work, showcasing her evolving alternative musical influences.[1] Di-dar featured compositions by Wong with arrangements by her then-husband Dou Wei, production by Zhang Yadong and lyrics by Lin Xi.[2]
The album was both a critical and commercial success, selling 1.5 million copies across Asia;[1] with its title track "Di-dar" and "Ambiguous" (曖昧) becoming well-known songs.[3] Di-dar peaked at number one in Hong Kong according to the IFPI and Billboard magazine.[4]
