Quasimodo’s Gift (Chinese: 卡西莫多的礼物) is the debut album of Chinese singer Hua Chenyu. The international version was released on September 18, 2014.

Background

Hua Chenyu composed three songs for this album and participated in the overall production process, from demo selection and lyrics creation to the last post-production, tagging this album with his unique personalities.[1] Although this album contains multiple elements such as pop, alternative rock, folk and classical music, it tells a complete story of a solitary from different sides, just like the lyric says, "Quasimodo’s Gift is to enjoy the loneliness".

Hua Chenyu got his inspiration for writing the one-lyric intro Why Nobody Fights when he was watching a football game during the World Cup. Different from traditional chorus recording, Hua, as the first mainland singer, invited 100 fans to record an imperfect but touching chorus for this song. Ashes from Firework has been changed seven times to create a psychedelic Brit Rock effect and Lin Xi rewrote its lyric for three times. Piano is the only instrument to create a simple lonely heart in the song Shimmer, which was later performed at pianist Lang Lang's Christmas Concert. The last song Bedtime Story is ear whispered by only a guitar.

Hua Chenyu wrote Quasimodo’s Gift, the title song and a beautiful tranquil blue melodrama-style song, but its birth process was full of magic. When he travelled in Europe on program” Divas hit the road", he captured the melody from an abstract portrait in a church but soon forgot it, then suddenly recalled this melody two months later after he came back home. Quasimodo’s Gift is a soul song particularly conforming to Hua Chenyu’s personal characteristic which is inner loneliness with strong sincere love.

The Danish composer’s elaborate creations Eternity, Bomb Squad, All Lonely and Traveling were responded well. Let You Go was composed by Hua Chenyu without any special stories behind but a four-minute one-take creation. This medium-speed rock genre reflects his inner heart thought, highly praised by senior intellectual fans after its launch.[1][2]
