Coming Home is an album by Chinese pop artist Faye Wong. It was issued on her return to Asia in 1992 after a year in New York.
Wong had issued her first three official albums under the stage name Shirley Wong (Wong Ching Man). The cover for Coming Home prominently shows the name "Faye", and from 1994, after the release of Sky she used name "Wáng Fēi" (王菲) on album sleeves.
Coming Home was a notable change in musical direction from the more traditional Cantopop fare of her earlier albums. Like them, it incorporated R&B influences.
On this album, Faye Wong covered the song "Fragile Woman," originally sung by the Japanese music diva Miyuki Nakajima. While this song had been covered by other Chinese singers, her angelic version nonetheless swept over Hong Kong and single-handedly lifted her to superstardom.
The album also included her first English-language song, "Kisses in the Wind". Wong is on record as stating that this sad ballad is her personal favourite song.[1]
