Gei (Chinese: 給; pinyin: gĕi) is the sixth studio album by Taiwanese singer and songwriter Lala Hsu, released by AsiaMuse on 22 June 2022. Hsu and Howe Chen served as the album's producers, with David Ke as production coordinator.[1] The album is released four and a half years after her fifth studio album The Inner Me (2017), followed by her marriage and childbirth.[2] Hsu explored genres such as dance, retro, and disco, breaking her previous albums' style with usual slow-tempo ballads.
At the 33rd Golden Melody Awards, Hsu received three nominations including Song of the Year and was awarded the Best Single Producer with Chen for her single "None of the Above". At the 34th Golden Melody Awards, Hsu was nominated for a total of eight awards, six of which are for the album including Best Mandarin Album, Song of the Year for her single "Like a Star", and Best Female Mandarin Singer among other technical awards.[3]
