Followed by the success of her previous single “DO WHATEVER”, Cacien, aka. Garlica Princess, the 22-year-old singer/songwriter/music producer from Shenzhen, China, released her debut album “GARLICA PRINCESS”in April 2022. In the album, she showcased her cute, quirky, and one-of-a-kind personality by blending Pop, Jazz, R&B, and many other music styles in her own artistry. Her insightful musical senses have made all her work full of “Cacien”charisma: always confident, optimistic and ever-advancing.
“I/We” is a work created by Cacien, based on her own life experiences. It was made both for herself and the audience. With this EP she hopes to show everyone her identity as the “Garlica Princess” and the positive spirit she wants to convey as one of the representatives of GenZ. She is also a sentimental person with ups and downs. Through “sigh” and “emo” Cacien expressed her negative emotions and some important life lessons she has learned along the way. “aletter4u” is a letter to her listeners, hoping that her messages find them well.
“love” is a series of different types of love songs created around Cacien's experiences and views on love. The series includes romantic love, miserable love, fearful love, and happy love. “take our time” was inspired by the lesson she took at NYU, by professor Dr. Skiba. The song revolves around suggesting that people should slow down when it comes to sex, respect their partners instead of rushing things. “getaway” is a romantic love song that sounds refreshing and cute, but at the same time it raises a serious topic about insecurities. It depicts an ideal kind of love in Cacien's imagination. “I FEAR LOVE” conveys a contradiction with both her fears and expectations for love that many people can relate to. “LOSER” is a song about a failed romance, which was inspired by what she has seen in life and on social media. These tracks together form Cacien's own understanding of love in different situations.
Side A: "I/We"
DO WHATEVER!
"I think people need a little confidence boost. I wanna share my story with them, and send them some motivations. Do whatever you want! You are the best!”
- Cacien
Garlica Princess
Cacien introduces her title - “Garlica Princess”. Why is she called “Garlica Princess”? What does “Garlica Princess” represent? Is it the spirit of garlic?
RUN FAST!
Run fast! Cacien is running towards her goal at her own pace. This is a song about her ambitions in 2020.
sigh
Cacien experienced a lot of negative emotions at the summer of 18. She felt lost and anxious most of the time. It is a song about questions she does not have answers for and assumptions she couldn't be sure of.
emo
In 2020, Cacien casually hummed the main melody of this song on the subway once. She wrote it down quickly and expanded it into a song as soon as she got home that day. Most of the negative emotions that she had were included in this song. Confused, lost, break downs, etc...
aletter4u
Cacien's 21-year-old encounters have hit her hard and made her realize some harsh truths in life. But it’s okay because isn't this something everyone would face while growing up? So, you are not alone. We've all grown up together, and it's just that we hit different obstacles. Take it easy, life is a movie, enjoy every minute and every second, so that when the movie is over, you won't regret missing any highlights.
Side B: "love"
take our time
This song is inspired by a course that Cacien took last semester called "Sexual Identities across Lifespan” instructed by Dr. Skiba. Sometimes it is the best to enjoy each other's body rather than having sex. Take everything slow, and let your relationship unfold itself. Enjoy and appreciate every moment you spend with each other.
I FEAR LOVE
Everyone is longing for love but also afraid of it. Cacien wrote down the contradiction between her need for love and her fears. It is said that there is "love insurance", but is it true?
LOSER
Cacien rearranges elements from some of the bad love stories she heard or saw in real life into her own version of the story. In this song, she depicted the process of meeting a fuckboy and decisively cutting off this unhealthy relationship. Women can be ruthless, too. Instead of doing something with this person, she chose to walk away immediately without wasting her precious time.
getaway!
This song sounds very romantic and lovely on the surface. However, you will also sense some insecurities if you read the lyrics carefully. The song is about Cacien’s insecurities in a romantic relationship. She says "Let's run away together!" While in fact, she is also struggling with her possessiveness.
