On July 18, Christian singer G.E.M. unveiled the trailer of her new album ‘Revelation’. The album, including 14 new songs, is to tell a complete story in the form of a musical, which is written by the Christian singer for the first time. She hoped that in a world where love is badly needed, people can "see the love, believe in love, and return to love" again.
While introducing the new album, G.E.M. said each of the 14 new songs has been valuable enlightenment to her, "either to know more about herself or to know more about love". She hoped that people can listen to her album completely in a time of attention scarcity, hence she decided to make the album in the way of musical series. "Every track comes with its own music video, and all together they consist of a fully integrated story," she said.
G.E.M. secluded herself for half a year to produce the album because she had expected many difficulties during the process. While shooting for the album, the experience of countless, involuntary pauses and retakes caused by the repeated Covid-19 pandemic, cost her unimaginable efforts. But she still believed, "In this world where love is badly needed, I trust what I can do is to try my best to create works that make people once again see the love, believe in love, and return to love. So it doesn't matter how many setbacks there are on the way, as long as I can finish them."
Speaking of the inspiration, G.E.M., under the circumstance of a gloomy and depressed society, thought of the Bible verse 'There is no fear in love’. This verse was firstly heard on the day of her 20th birthday, when she just had a heart-wrecking breakup and met a stranger, fortunately, who prayed for her with those six simple words, which let tears rain down her cheeks instantly. The album carries her spiritual inspiration for a decade - "enable me to know more about myself and love".

7月16日下午，7月18日，基督徒歌手邓紫棋发布最新专辑《启示录》的预告。此次专辑共有14首新歌，也是邓紫棋首次担任编剧以音乐剧的形式来呈现一个完整的故事，她表示盼望在严重需要爱的世界里，大家能重新“看见爱、相信爱、回归爱”。
在介绍新专辑时，邓紫棋表示这14首新歌的每一首对她来说都是很珍贵的启示，“无论是让我更认识自己、还是让我更认识爱”。她期望在这样一个碎片化的时代，人们可以用心听完她的作品，于是她选择用音乐连续剧的方式来呈现整个专辑，“整张专辑里每一首歌有一个独立MV，串起来却是一个有连续剧情的完整故事” 。
在创作整个专辑时，邓紫棋也预料到在这一过程中会有诸多的困难，因此她选择用半年的时间完全闭关来进行创作。拍摄专辑的时候，也遇上了疫情的反复，经历了一次次的被迫叫停、全部重拍等艰难。但是邓紫棋仍然期待：“在这个严重需要爱的世界里，我相信我能做的就是尽力为大家带来能让人重新看见爱、相信爱、回归爱的作品。所以一切波折都不重要，只要能完成作品。”
在谈到专辑的灵感时，“爱里没有惧怕”是邓紫棋在社会气氛变得低迷、压抑的大环境下所想到的一句话。这句话是她在20岁生日那一天第一次听到，那时她刚经历过一次撕心裂肺的分手，有缘遇到一位陌生人为她祈祷，并说了这简单的六个字，瞬间让她泪流满面。而这张专辑记录着她这十年间灵力得到的启示——“让我更认识自己、也更认识爱”。
