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…

[BROWN SUGAR THOUGHTS] 02.06.18 Why I Share Music from Lesser Known Artists
You may be wondering why I share a lot of lesser known artists on this blog. The truth is I feel like a lot of lesser known musicians in Taiwan create more unique music, 原子邦妮Astro Bunny, 小男孩樂團Men Envy Children, Vast & Hazy, to name a few. They’re actually a little more ballsy and aren’t afraid to have…

[NEW RELEASES] 孫燕姿 Stephanie Sun – 極美Immense Beauty
Just liker the name of her new song, 孫燕姿 Stephanie Sun herself and music can be defined as ‘Immense Beauty極美’.

Here is 原子邦妮 Astro Bunny with ‘謝謝你曾經讓我悲傷 Loneliness, Sadness and a Thank You’. The EDM feel is very apparent here, probably more than some of her other pieces. I don’t come across a lot of good Chinese EDM so I feel the need to share Astro Bunny’s pieces. Often times many other Chinese EDM pieces…
[BROWN SUGAR PICKS] 小男孩樂團Men Envy Children – Die For You
Would I ‘Die For You’? Who knows but Taiwanese band 小男孩樂團Men Envy Children might. I only discovered them this year but their music grew onto me quickly. Their songs remind me of some of the old school American rock bands that I grew up listening to. Lead singer Mify 米非 also holds up the band and the…
