After listening to so many slower ballads lately, it’s nice to have something more upbeat as a break. I’ve heard very little music from Sharon Kwan but I definitely like her style of singing based on this song and “別弄花我的妝 Don’t Ruin My Makeup”. Can’t wait for her to release more music!
[HIGHLIGHT] ONEWE: Regulus 야행성
Besides artistic critiques, I like to stick to Mando-pop on this blog as Kpop is already very widely known. I’ve had very little interest in Kpop after JYJ left TVXQ like ten years ago. As you can see at this point, things pertaining to Kpop here usually revolves around artistic stuff like music video critiques,…
[HIGHLIGHT] 曹楊 Young – Astray走散
I wanted to share a new artist I found and his recent song, Astray, a smooth, sad love song. I’m not familiar with Young (Cao Yang) at all but I definitely like the way he sings and projects his voice effortlessly without reservation. Normally I would probably just pass over a song like this but…

[HIGHLIGHTS] Eric周興哲: You Are Not Alone 其實你並沒那麼孤單
SONG RATING: 10/10 I follow Eric Chou on and off, periodically tuning in to listen to his music. This particular time when I tuned in, I was not expecting this. ‘You Are Not Alone’ is very different from his past love songs. The backtrack is minimal piano and the melody is very simple but Eric…
SEVENTEEN: My My MV Critique – Where’s the Journey?
SONG RATING: 9.2/10 | MV RATING: 7.7/10 To preface this SEVENTEEN is pretty much the only active k-pop group aside from Shinhwa that I actually actively listen to. Their work to me is very special and touching because more than anything, I always feel sincerity. This isn’t just for them to make money, their passion…
Jay Chou周杰倫: Mojito – Read About Cuba
Music Rating: 9.5/10 | Music Video: 10/10 Growing up with Jay Chou, it has been a pleasure watching his music evolve. While I don’t always like it, I respect him for attempting and experimenting with his music. Many artists stick to the same kind of music that launched them into fame. Not Jay though. As…
[NEW RELEASE] 田馥甄 Hebe Tien:皆可 Anything Goes
Music Rating: 9.5/10 | Music Video Rating: 10/10 I’m always excited for Hebe’s music. After branching out and going solo, she’s had quite a few memoral works. All of them are very authentic to her style and thinking. Many of her lyrics are questions to the society around us. “Anything Goes” asks many questions but…
[HIGHLIGHTS] 張語噥 Sammy: No More
Sharing Sammy 張語噥’s song, No More, today. It’s got a catchy beat paired with her casual dancing. I love her confidence as she slays the song flawlessly. Like you probably guessed, No More is a break up song.
