China's 'Taylor Swift' G.E.M., a Christian pop singer, songwriter, and music producer in Hong Kong, China, released the last song of her new album "Revelation".
“THE SKY”, the last song of G.E.M. ’s album “Revelation”, was officially launched on September 23. So far, 14 new songs and 14 MVs in that album have all been released. G.E.M. posted her longest post ever on Weibo to commemorate the creation, production, and release of “Revelation”.
“Revelation” marks the first time that G.E.M. has released her work in the form of a musical series. Using wasteland, paradise, and real world as the story background, seven letters to Heaven and seven letters from Heaven tell the stories of two protagonists Gloria and Qiu (both acted by G.E.M.) possessing, losing, finding, gaining, and being reborn in the real and metaverse world.
The Christian celebrity admitted that the creating process was not easy. After she completed the lyrics and songs of the whole album alone, she also started scriptwriting for the first time in her life and strung the MVs of 14 new songs into a complete music series. It was a great challenge for G.E.M. “In order to take everyone on a more complete journey of revelation”, G.E.M. “spent countless nights sitting at her desk, thinking and laughing”. In the process, she experienced laughter, tears, loneliness, and countless overnight stays with her team.
She felt that she could not complete this huge “ark” several times. In addition, she encountered recurrent epidemics and various difficulties such as suspension, quarantine, replace of actors, and story remaking during the process. All of these led to the increasing cost of shooting and production. The time to complete the album has also been delayed.
“All kinds of huge waves in reality hit me again and again. How many times during the filming process did I really feel like Gloria in the story. Despair, sadness, heartache, helplessness, and regret intersected in my heart...” G.E.M. experienced the story itself again in the creation process. However, encouragement and comfort came to her ears again: “Gloria, there is no fear in love.” And this is the theme she wants to express.
Although “REVELATION” was officially released on September 23 for various reasons, it reminded G.E.M. of her favorite golden sentence “If you can! All things are possible for one who believes.” (Mark 9:23)
G.E.M. also says that love is the theme of this album. She thanked people for getting much enlightenment of love in her life and experiencing more love constantly during the production of the album.
G.E.M. says that as the “author”, she was very attentive and every word in her album was her careful design. She believes that the Creator hides His mind everywhere when creating the world. She hopes that through this album, people in the era of fast food can slow down and think about themselves and their life.

邓紫棋（G.E.M.），中国香港流行乐女歌手、词曲作者、音乐制作人，被誉为流行乐坛新天后。
9月23日邓紫棋《启示录》专辑最后一首《天空没有极限》正式上线，至此，专辑中14首新歌与14首MV也全部发表完成。邓紫棋于微博发布有史以来最长贴文纪念《启示录》的创作、制作和发布。
《启示录》是邓紫棋首次以音乐连续剧的形式发布，七封“致天堂的信”和七封“天堂的回信”以乐土、废土、现实世界为故事背景，讲述两位主人公Gloria（G.E.M.邓紫棋饰）与秋（G.E.M.邓紫棋饰）在现实与元宇宙世界中拥有、失去、寻找、获得与重生的故事。
邓紫棋坦言创作过程并不容易，她独自完成整张专辑的词曲创作之后，还开始了人生中第一次剧本创作，还要把14首新歌的MV串成一个完整的音乐连续剧……对于邓紫棋来说是一个巨大的挑战。“为了带大家走上一趟更完整的启示之旅”，邓紫棋“无数个晚上坐在书桌前埋头苦想欢笑”，过程中她经历了欢笑、泪水、孤独，还有跟团队一起熬过的数不清的通宵。
邓紫棋数次觉得自己完成不了这个巨大的“方舟”，加上中途碰到反复的疫情，各种暂停、隔离、演员的更换、故事重拍等困难包围了她，因此也导致拍摄制作成本与日俱增、距离完成制作的时间也不断延后……
“各种各样现实里的巨浪一次次冲击着我，拍摄过程中多少次我真的感觉自己就像故事里的Gloria陷入绝境一样，绝望、难过、心痛、无助、遗憾各种情绪在我心中交集……”邓紫棋在创作过程中再次体验了故事本身，但是鼓励和安慰也再一次来到耳边：“Gloria，爱里没有惧怕。”而这正是她要表达的主题。
虽然种种原因，《启示录》在9月23日才正式完成发布，但这却让邓紫棋想到了她非常喜欢的金句“你若能信，在信的人，凡事都能。” 可9:23。
邓紫棋也表示爱是这张专辑的主题，她感谢自己的人生道路上得到很多爱的启示，在专辑的制作过程中，也不断地经历着更多的爱。
邓紫棋表示自己作为一个“作者”非常的用心，笔下的一字一句都是她细心的设计，她相信造物主在创造这个世界的时候也处处藏着祂的心意。她希望通过这张专辑让处在快餐时代里的人们能够慢下来、能够去思考自己、思考人生。
