Dr Jessie Chung, a Sarawak-born international singer,
actress, and entrepreneur, launched her first English EP
‘There You Are’ recently. She has already taken on the
Chinese market with great success. Spreading her wings
further, this EP will be Dr Jessie’s launch pad for entry into
the English market. Dr Jessie Chung’s EP will feature three
songs “There You Are”, “Drive My Heart” and “Someplace
Honest”.

“I would like to dedicate
this EP to both my father and my husband,” said Dr Jessie Chung. “I
want to tell everyone that it is important to cherish your loved ones
while they are still alive and I hope that, through my music, I am able
to touch the hearts of many and get this message across.”
Dr
Jessie adds, “I am very fortunate to be always surrounded by good
people that have my best interest – be it my loved ones, friends and
colleagues. And it is because of them that I have the courage to spread
my wings and fly. I am not afraid of change, and to try new things.
So far, I am very grateful that the Chinese market has accepted my work.
I think it is timely to move into the English market and to make my
music truly international.”
Dr Jessie has released seven
other albums, notably Home, Loving You, Message of Love from the Moon,
Love in You, I Just Fall in Love Again, and Tearless Sky. Her single
"Love in You" was selected as the theme song for the Korean TV series My
Secret Garden in Taiwan. Jessie Chung’s last album rose to fourth place
on the I Radio Top Hits Chart and 6th place on the Pop Radio Top Ten
Music Chart in Taiwan, just within two weeks of her initial release.
‘There
You Are’ is produced by Andy James Court, a renowned Australian veteran
musician who is known for his rock ‘n’ roll style during the early
years of his career. He has won over thirty international music awards
and was the recipient of the 2015 Song of the Year Award. The music
video was filmed and produced by Elijah Cavanagh, a film director from
Brisbane, Australia.
“The filming of the music video
for There You Are has been such a journey,” said Jessie. “We spent two
days and nights, travelling on the road throughout Brisbane and Gold
Coast to shoot the music video. It was very cold at around 10 degrees
Celsius, but I was not allowed to wear a sweater to keep myself warm.
The most unforgettable moment was the one at the beach. As I was
walking on the top of the cliff next to the ocean, I nearly fell down,
but luckily, being trained with Wushu skills, I was able to maintain my
balance.”
At the recording sessions,
producer Andy praised Jessie for her beautiful voice and vocal
techniques which were beyond his expectations. He was very surprised,
during production, how easily she fulfilled all his requirements; her
tone, pitch, and emotions were perfect. What surprised him even more was
that Jessie, who isn’t a native English speaker, accentuated well when
she sang, and he praised generously.
Dr Jessie’s artist
manager in Australia, Jonathan Timm said, “As her artist manager, I am
privileged to work with her and to introduce her into the Australian
market. I’ve listened to three songs in the album, and I love them.
What’s really different about these songs are that they are big songs;
like “anthems” played at stadiums, moving all those that sing along with
it. As for the music video, I found the aesthetics clean and polished,
and, of course, Jessie looks amazing in it. I think her fans are going
to love it.”
“My goal is to help her achieve the widest
exposure and acceptance in the English-speaking markets, and this
includes the Australian and the global markets through different forms
of distribution, especially digital marketing. The change of image is
part of the plan as well. In this English EP, we have created a new
image for her, portraying a different side of Jessie who is energetic
yet fun-loving,” Timm added. “We are all so excited to introduce this
new image of her!”
Mr Darren Choy, Managing Director of
Warner Music Malaysia and Singapore said, “Warner Music is one of the
world's leading music publishers and we represent some of the most
established artistes in Malaysia. We are very proud to have also been
Dr Jessie Chung’s distribution partner since her last Chinese album,
“Tearless Sky”, and now once again for her EP “There You Are”
Choy
continued, “I would like to highlight that the EP will be available on
various digital platforms including iTunes, KK Box, Spotify, Deezer,
Joox from 2 September 2016 onwards. We hope that you enjoy these songs
as much as we did.”
“There You Are” can be purchased
digitally on iTunes and KK Box, and the album will be available in all
NHF outlets nationwide. Get a copy of the EP today or download from
iTunes.
