The latest Super Girl star, Shang Wenjie, released her first album,
Beneath Van Gogh's Starry Sky, on Monday.
The 24-year-old singer was carried by a rickshaw to the premiere ceremony held in her hometown of Shanghai.
She said the old-time Shanghai vehicle related to the old Shanghai jazz in her album.
Shang released her first offering, an EP titled, A La Claire Fontaine, in June. Recording for her second album is scheduled to kick off next month.
The French language major from Shanghai's prestigious Fudan University was eliminated twice when she tried to impress judges at last year's Super Girl singing competition, a contest similar to American Idol.
She signed up for a third time and was a dark horse as her singing skills kept improving during the competition. She eventually won the competition.
