Chinese alt-pop icon Cacien has shared her new album ‘GP’s Anatomy’.
Hailing from Shenzhen, the creative all-rounder draws from a hugely diverse palette – everything from straight-up pop to jazz via soul, R&B and hip-hop all goes into the blender. Cacien’s global solo album ‘Garlica Princess’ landed back in 2022, and promptly went viral gaining an astonishing online audience.
Ratcheting up more than 650 million views (!) on Douyin – the Chinese version of the TikTok platform – she’s a true star, obeying no rules but her own.
New album ‘GP’s Anatomy’ takes Cacien a step further. Driven by incredible ambition, each song seems to reach ever-outwards, with the Chinese artist commanding a global following.
It’s personal, too. The record takes time to look at both aspects of her brain, at multiple aspects of her personality – moving away from the need for validation, Cacien seeks a stable form of self-love.
She says…
“I deeply dissect my brain in this album from the third-person perspective. Acting as Garlica Bunny, I divided my brain into two parts just like it is structured: the ‘Love Brain’ (right brain) and the ‘Independent Brain’ (left brain). The album documents my journey from seeking external validation to embracing self-love.”
