Chelsia Ng first album ‘Book One: Songs for You & I’ cover
Chelsia Ng proudly introduces her debut solo album, Book One: Songs for You & I, a heartfelt reflection of Malaysia’s cultural and linguistic diversity. This multilingual masterpiece is crafted in Bahasa Malaysia, English, and Penang Hokkien, celebrating the vibrant tapestry of Malaysian identity.
More than just a compilation of tracks, the album unfolds like a memoir, with each song representing a chapter in Chelsia’s journey as an artist and storyteller. Influenced by folk, pop, and hints of country music, the album delves into universal themes such as love, loss, and resilience, inviting listeners to connect through the shared language of music.

“This album is a celebration of my identity as a Malaysian. Each language I used—Bahasa Malaysia, English, and Penang Hokkien—carries different stories, experiences, and emotions, and I hope the album brings listeners peace and joy. Each chapter, each song, represents not only my journey but hopefully, a part of yours, too,” says Chelsia.
The album’s soundscape is shaped by the expertise of Irena Taib, a multi-talented musician from the indie band The Impatient Sisters. As the album’s producer, arranger, and musician, Irena’s award-winning talent brought Chelsia’s vision to life with intricate arrangements and diverse instrumentation. Co-producing the album is Raja Farouk, another acclaimed producer known for blending genres seamlessly. Together, Irena and Farouk have enriched the album’s sound, delivering a deeply immersive experience.
