As a music director of Earth Productions Music Ministry since the year 2000, Chen Sing and the ministry strive to bring the Gospel to the world through music. Having a burden for the Chinese community around the world, Chen Sing hopes to build a new chapter in Chinese Gospel music and continue to share the love of Jesus with the music God has given her.

Producing her latest album, “My Eyes” recently, it was quite a challenge for Chen Sing who at the same time being a music director, a University Professor and is leading a campus ministry. Despite challenges, she admits that God’s grace is always sufficient and that He deserves all the glory.

The latest album contains music and lyrics that move hearts. The tracks include “My Eyes”, “All the Earth”, “Heaven’s Gate”, ” True Worship”, ” Because You Love Me”, ”Dawn” and an English song, ”Wings of Love”.  The best song, "Wo De Yan Jing Yi Kai" literally "My Eyes Opened",  expresses the thankfulness for Jesus because of what He has done in our lives, for being our Saviour. Ultimately, by knowing Jesus, the "eyes" of our hearts are opened, therefore we are not lost anymore and that we may find true joy and peace because of His amazing love.

During the recording of the album, Chen Sing was deeply touched by God’s words. Nan Fang, the ministry and music producer as well as other staff who were present said, “God is in our midst”.

Indeed, Chen Sing has a great passion for music, and plays the piano, guitar, and harp. She has written hundreds of songs and previously produced several albums include “Sing to the Lord”, “Are You Willing?”, “Use Me, My Lord” and “Starry Night”. Besides that, she has also authored the book “You and Your Household Shall Be Saved”.

After releasing her stunning debut album, “Brand New World” which was awarded Best Local English Album at the prestigious Malaysian Music Industry Awards (AIM) in 2005, Juwita has gathered many fans from all across the country. Her sweet voice, clean-cut image, gentle melodies and “straight from the heart” lyrics have appealed to a large spectrum of fans, both in the Christian and Secular markets.

“For Real’ includes songs written by Juwita, "Beautiful Lies" from the Original Soundtrack of the movie ‘Gol & Gincu’ and the classic "Desperado" made popular by The Eagles. It also features a Malay track entitled "Teman Sejati" which she co-wrote with Habsah Hassan. The first single, "Walk Away" is currently being released on major radio stations in Malaysia. These songs accentuate the realities of life as viewed by a young adult in a soulful yet fresh and contemporary urban style. The album, produced by Aubrey Suwito, Greg Henderson and Kieran Kuek, sheds new light on Juwita as a vocalist and songwriter.

With the release of “For Real”, this Malaysian Idol vocal coach (also nominated for the Best Female Vocal Performance in an album 2005) is certainly poised to move her music into international markets.

13 Child of God (Bonus)

GTLim or Pastor Lim Gee Tiong is fondly known by his church members as the singing pastor. This is not surprising as he has released 12 albums. His recent release Child of God was recorded in Singapore and produced by Mandarin pop arrangers Martin Tang, Kenn C and Jonathan Koh. This album features Christian songs written by GTLim in Hokkien.  This is his third Hokkien album, the other nine are in Mandarin. He began writing songs as a university student in New Zealand in 1988.  In 1991, he returned to Malaysia and released his debut album Chase After Life . He continued to write songs and release albums, even after becoming the pastor of Blessed Church in Kuching in 1995.

It was with his fifth album, Hold My Hand that gave GTLim a breakthrough. The title track, a Hokkien song about trusting in God, became a hit here, and in Singapore and Indonesia. 

Lim, who has been channeling proceeds from his albums to his church or charity, will always see himself as a pastor first.  “Singing is a secondary calling. Whenever the two clash, singing has to give way,” he said.

MELODI CINTA

JENNY LIEW

Label:

INFINITY CREATIVE WORKS

Tracks:

01 Malaysia UntukMu W

02 Melodi Cinta W

03 Tiada Yang Seperti Kau

04 CintaMu

05 Healing Hands

06 Terimakasih Yesus

07 Melodi Cinta Instrumental

Jenny Liew is a singer-songwriter worshipping in Georgetown Baptist Church, Penang together with her husband, Joe, and their two children. She has been serving in the area of Music & Worship for the past 23 years, with the last 14 years as a Worship Leader.

"Melodi Cinta" is Jenny's debut mini album, in which she wrote, sang and produced all the songs on the album. There are five songs in Bahasa Malaysia, one in English, and one instrumental piece. The first song on the album, "Malaysia UntukMu", is being used by NECF in the launching of the 40-day Fast and Prayer program this year.

This album is a testimony God’s provision because she only had 3 songs when she embarked on the project. As she took a step of faith to produce this album, the Lord continued to inspire her to write another 3 songs. Each song had a story to tell. By the time she compiled all the songs, she noticed that the theme that runs through the whole album is on God’s unfailing love. Thus, the appropriateness of the title “Melodi Cinta” which means “Melodies of Love”.

Calling herself a “songwriter as inspired by God”, her desire is to see a great multitude of people from every nation, tribe, people and language standing before the throne of the Lord to worship Him.
