Pets Tseng - Today the Sunshine Is Especially Dazzling and Harmonious [Paperback Edition] (CD)

"The Sunshine Today Is Especially Bright and Harmonious" is a new solo album released by Pets Tseng in 2022. This album brings together many golden song producers and composers, including Chen Jianqi, Chen Junhao, Wei Li'an, Zhong Weiyu, Tanya Chua, Ge Dawei, Chi Xiu and HUSH, bringing 10 songs with diverse styles and full of brilliance, showing Zeng Pei-ci's musical strength and diversity.

The first ballad single "Generosity" in the album was produced by Golden Melody Award-winning producer Chen Jianqi, with lyrics written by Ge Dawei and music composed by Li Fangrui and Chen Jianqi. This song is based on the theme "The greatest generosity in love is to watch you leave", and delicately depicts the regret and helplessness in love. The slow arrangement of piano and strings makes the song more emotionally profound. Pets Tseng perfectly interprets the song's wide range and deep emotions.

The entire album not only includes the lyrical songs that Pets Tseng is good at, but also challenges multiple musical styles such as R&B, British rock, and folk for the first time, demonstrating her strength in different levels of vocal range and emotional transitions. During the production process, Pets Tseng personally participated in various creative links such as recording, arranging, and mixing. After repeated discussions and self-reflection, she finally presented this album that is close to her inner imagination and reality.

#Goddess and Goddess Light
① Down to Earth
Producers: Wei Li-an, Cai Shang-wen
Lyrics/ Music: WeiBird Wei Li'an

Co-produced by Wei Li’an and Cai Shangwen, the lyrics and music were written by Wei Li’an himself. It tells the story of pulling back the curtain to see the goddess walking out of the screen, as well as the goddess’ daily state and panic situation, presenting the goddess’ different moods and a sense of laziness and ease, creating an interesting contrast. Wei Li’an, who has been a friend of Pei-ci for many years, knows that Pei-ci is prone to unconsciously recite her inner monologue in daily life, so he specially and exclusively collected the "unclear words" improvised by Pei-ci, and integrated this into the arrangement, making her unique and interesting style more distinct. This weird and cute song of the goddess makes people feel "very much like Zeng Pei-ci" at first listen! The first song is "Descending to Earth", which is also the preface of the album that wants to convey "freedom": "The female/male god is not about being perfect on the outside, but knowing what they want to be."

#100% the purest and most loving gaze
② My Heart Belongs to You
Producer: Chen Junhao
Lyrics/ Music: Chi Xiu

2022 Pure Love Song, the lyrics and music are written by Golden Melody Best Newcomer Chi Xiu, and produced by Golden Melody Producer Chen Junhao. Different from the love song style that Zeng Pei-ci was good at in the past, this song is mainly arranged in Synth Pop + British rock style. Pei-ci puts 100% of her emotions and a unique tone that is different from her previous interpretations of songs. She also sings in a dolphin voice to express the most unswerving, wholehearted and firm love in the song, which is condensed in "Only Care About Everything About You" and is contributed unreservedly to the people and things she cares about most.

#The light lost in love
③ Generosity Let Go
Producer: Chen Jianqi
Lyricist: Ge Dawei Music: Li Fangrui, Chen Jianqi

"The greatest generosity in love is to accept your departure
I kept looking back and continued to move forward.

The first lyrical single "Generosity" that hits the saddest part of the heart was produced by Golden Melody Award-winning producer Chen Jianqi, who is good at digging out the deep emotions of singers. The lyrics were written by creator Ge Dawei and the music was composed by Li Fangrui and Chen Jianqi. Ge Dawei used "The greatest generosity in love is to watch you leave" as the main theme of the lyrics, realistically and sadly describing the generosity that many people have to have in the face of relationships, as well as their feelings of regret. It is also described as a "100% sad index divine song" that makes you feel painful from the prelude. Producer Chen Jianqi said that the vocal range of this song is very wide. Even though the vocal range seems difficult to control, Pei-Ci can control it steadily with her strength and use unprecedented bass performance to perfectly interpret it. The slowly unfolding emotional stacking of the piano and strings in the arrangement, combined with Pei Ci’s complete emotions, further completes the story told in the song, like a whisper about the generosity of love, the giving up and not getting love, making the other unspoken words in the song more tense and weighty, which is amazing!

#Flash that needs sunglasses
④ Is it YES, I Do
Producer: Chen Jianqi
Lyricist/ Music: Huang Weihao, Lu Qihan

Pets Tseng’s first attempt at singing a Taiwanese song, “Is It”, was co-written by Huang Weihao and Lu Qihan. The playful and sweet lyrics fully express her desire to spend her life with the other person. With the reggae and funk arrangement, the joy of wanting to walk into the future together is filled with enthusiasm and generosity. She just wants to tell the other person that as long as you nod, “I am the one destined for you. After all, where else can you find someone like me who loves you endlessly♡”. The sweetness index is off the charts, making it the best song of the year for flash marriage!

#Find the happy light from within
⑤ I Will Find You
Producer: Chen Jianqi
Lyrics: Tanya Chua, Ge Dawei Music: Tanya Chua

"I Will Find You", composed by Tanya Chua and David Ge, reflects Pets' current attitude towards life and aspirations. Each section is required to interpret the most private state of her heart in a different tone. The arrangement also cleverly uses strings and high-pitched tin whistles to create a sense of vastness in the wind, creating the most important essence of the picture feeling for the whole song, reflecting the beauty of going from one person's pursuit to finally finding each other and gaining mutual support.

#Sunshine encountered on a sunny day
⑥ Today the sun is especially bright and harmonious feat. Wei Li'an Memorable Moments feat. WeiBird
Producers: Wei Li-an, Cai Shang-wen
Lyricist/ Music: Pets Tseng, WeiBird Wei Li-an

Pets Tseng personally invited the Golden Melody Award-winning songwriter Wei Li-An to co-write and produce the song. The two presented the feeling of doing nothing in their daily lives with a lazy R&B style. This song is also the main theme of the entire album, "Freedom". This was the first time she collaborated with Li-An on writing and producing the song. The process was easy and enjoyable, and it also allowed Pets to get to know herself again in the process of writing the song. The lyrics of the album title "Today's sunshine is especially dazzling and harmonious" were derived from Pei Ci's thoughts on the quilts drying in the sun in the yard. Pei Ci always has the scent of a quilt dried in the sun in her grandmother's room, which gives her a refreshing, comfortable and warm feeling. Pets said: "I don't think there is any other smell in the world that can replace this sense of satisfaction. It always reminds me of the warmth of home and the happiness of childhood." I hope that music fans can have different projections when they hear "Today's Sunshine is Especially Bright and Harmonious", and try their best to feel the most beautiful and exciting moments in their lives.

#Remember to breathe hard and let yourself shine
⑦ Long Long Way
Producer: Sun Liheng
Lyricist/ Music: Pets Tseng

The album's special easter egg "Long Long Way" was independently composed by Pets Tseng, who also participated in the arrangement discussion. The song narrates the stumbling along the road of learning about "love" and "belief in dreams", while wondering all the way what changes the "butterfly effect" theory will bring to each choice? Where will it take you? When I almost couldn't go on, I wondered discouragedly how long this road was. In order to present the imperfections and real experiences of life, I deliberately wanted to complete this song with a demo rough feeling in the arrangement. Pei-Ci said: “Finally, because of my inner belief and the love around me, I can finally look back on this journey.”

The Long Long Way is a learning path about "love: love yourself, love others, be loved, give love... and all kinds of love, as well as belief in dreams". This road will pass through desolate places, experience wind and rain, and be illuminated by the sun. When you stop to rest one day, looking back at the road you have traveled, you will find that time has
I have already led myself on a road filled with the fragrance of flowers, and everything is the best arrangement.

#All the good things about you are shining
⑧ Let Me Love You
Producer: Chen Jianqi
Lyrics/ Music: HUSH

With a retro melody and a simple four-piece arrangement (guitar/drums/bass/piano), the endless confession and emotional description in the song are presented more realistically in a simple yet profound way. "I Want to Be Good to You" is the song that Pets sang most vigorously and touchingly in the album. When singing, Pets was thinking of her friend who was sick at the time, and wanted to dedicate this song to her friend, hoping to convey a very clear intention: "I want to give you all the good" to the other person, and hoped that the listeners could enjoy this sincere warmth, everything is love.

#Lonely Glimmer
⑨ I need some solitude A Revolution of Love
Producer: Chen Junhao
Lyricist: Ge Dawei Music: Lin Jiaqian

"I Need Some Loneliness" was created by creator Ge Dawei specifically for the drama "Dear Adam". It is a love song of loneliness that accurately interprets the urban feel. With the change of Pei Ci's tone and the subtle little inflections, it fits the delicate emotions slowly superimposed by the strings, and calmly sings out the contradiction between loneliness and non-loneliness, creating a contrast between the beginning and the end, which further highlights the tension of the interpretation in the song, but also discusses the main proposition "the search for love" with distance. "I Need Some Loneliness" does not need to deliberately express sentimental emotions, but it is more about being able to gain the power of mutual comfort through this song.

"Because love is not complicated"

#Our shared memories#Super Avenue of Stars
⑩ Fragments of Heart Back to the Beginning
Producer: Zhong Weiyu
Lyricist: Wu Yiwei Music: Tree of Life_The Little Prince
              
Produced by Golden Melody Award winner Zhong Wei-yu, the song was a perfect match for the first collaboration. During the discussion, Pets used specific images to describe the song's emotional level, describing the three-beat melody as constantly advancing like waves, just like the trajectory of life's progress. She also recalled participating in the "Super Star Avenue" singing competition and the different journeys of life. Therefore, the producer specially added a vast sense of film soundtracks to the arrangement to present the advancement of emotions, and also added electronic percussion elements and sound effects to add some psychedelic colors to the song. The song not only tells the process of pursuing dreams, but also projects that every effort in life is the most shining moment.
