I feel like it’s been a while since I heard music from Rainie. This is quite different from my impression of her music but I like the smooth, simple vocals a lot paired with some beats. She isn’t the type of singer to belt out high notes, instead going for a technique that suits her…

[HIGHLIGHT] Vicky Chen陳忻玥 : Am I Who I Am
MUSIC RATING: 9/10 | MV RATING: 8.5/10 I always appreciate Vicky Chen’s sound. Her music is quite consistent and very suitable for her strong voice. I like the slight old-school Avril Lavigne vibe with the bold piano and drums in ‘Am I Who I Am’. The music is refreshing in the way that it leans…
[HIGHLIGHT] Sharon Kwan 關詩敏: Beautiful but Fragile 美麗的 我不碰就是了
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] 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…
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.
[BROWN SUGAR THOUGHTS] Crazy Rich Asians’s Yellow by Katherine Ho
This probably sounds really bad, I haven’t actually seen ‘Crazy Rich Asians’, I won’t give too many excuses other than the fact that I didn’t have time. I’ve been ecstatic for the movie’s success though and have heard so many amazing things about it. Feels great to have a good representation. I came across the…
