O-Kai Singers / Album Art Design

•

After six years, we finally made the decision to release our second album.

During those six years, naturally, a lot of things had happened. People came and went, a continual maintenance of things breaking apart and then coming back together; songs were sung and then stopped, stopped and then sung. Of course, the process of making an album can’t always be brightness and light; we’ve passed through low tides and valleys.

Our greatest concern was the health of our producer, Jia-Ching. But the work had to be done, and so we never gave up singing. Even when feeling worn out and lost, we still believed in that spark: we believed in our commitment to the music; that our persistence would be worthwhile; that we would make a beautiful record.

The album in your hands, black and shimmering, holds the songs that even in the deepest, darkest night, we are still singing to you with all our hearts, so that when you listen to them, you will feel, as we did, hope and illumination.
