Teresa Teng is one of the most well-known Chinese-language singers of all time. She was born in a rural mountain village in central Taiwan, and at six years old showed remarkable talent for singing, then went on to release her first solo album at the age of 14, after which she quickly garnered fame and worldwide acclaim. As the first Chinese language popular music singer to attain international influence, she was greatly loved and praised among listeners both Chinese and otherwise, and was described as “the singer with a billion fans”. As with many other great legends she died at a young age, leaving her many fans throughout the world heartbroken, as from that point on the only way we could enjoy her voice would be through the everlasting performances she left behind.

During her short life of only 42 years, Teresa Teng was a bright meteor in the sky, giving off all her light before striking the Earth, offering a gift to Chinese language music that will never be forgotten; nor will her irresistible smile and adorable dimples; nor her natural elegance, that made her seem like she had walked out of a dream. But most of all we will not forget her satin, almost magical voice, which has the power to penetrate the hearts of listeners, and has accompanied many throughout their life journey. Teresa Teng and her music are precious gifts graciously granted by our world, and her eternal charm solidifies her status as a symbol of her era.

On this album Rhymoi Music veteran producer Ye Yunchuan returns to his roots, searching for the most memorable sounds of his youth. For the recording he once again travelled overseas, this time to global metropolis of New York, and enlisted a team of up-and-coming musicians, who portray Teresa Teng’s timeless classics through the interpretation of a classical quintet, as an homage to the achievements of her lifetime. Intoxicated by The Scent of the Night, amidst the cool southern breeze, listen as the nightingale sings its lonesome tune. The Moon Represents My Heart; as the trees whisper in the wind, remember that I think of you. The lady of unparalleled beauty has been seen once again, On the Other Side of the Water. Not even A Thousand Words can express all the sorrow and loneliness collected in the deepest reaches of my heart. In a world as vast as ours, what are the chances of finding one’s true soulmate? No matter how much time passes, I Only Care about You.
