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] 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!
[HIGHLIGHTS] Tai Yi太一: Jade 玉
I had heard of Tai Yi’s music before seeing him perform but never made the connection as a lot of songs on my playlist are from lesser known singers. Tai Yi is truly unique and when he came onto Singer 2020, he exuded maximum confidence. While he isn’t wildly famous, he has 100% faith in…
[HIGHLIGHTS] Zhou Shen周深: Baby До свидания
When Zhou Shen was announced to be on Singer 2020 歌手·当打之年, I was ecstatic. He definitely did not disappoint. Week after week, he reveals new things about his singing to everyone. This week he brings his rendition of Baby До свидания. He opens with a Russian excerpt that I believes come from an actual Russian…
蔡依林 Jolin Tsai: 怪美的 Ugly Beauty Music Video Review
Song Rating: 10/10 | Music Video Rating: 10/10 The queen is back! Always happy to see Jolin continue to make music after so many years. Despite being a veteran in the industry, she’s always still coming up with new things and honestly is one of the hardest working artists I know of. I love Jolin’s…
[OGvsCOVER] Wanli万里 – HYUKOH혁오
I heard Cai Weize蔡維澤’s (from Taiwanese band, Fool and Idiot 傻子與白痴) version of Wanli万里 before the original. I won’t go too deep in my affinity for Fool and Idiot’s music in this post (there’s too much to say, they’re amazing). I had been following the show ‘The Coming One明日之子2’ for awhile and rooting for my favorite,…
[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…
[OGvsCOVER] Nunchucks雙節棍 – Jay Chou 周杰倫
I was really excited when I first found out Hua Chen Yu 華晨宇 was performing Nunchucks雙節棍 (originally by the king, Jay Chou 周杰倫) on ‘Singer歌手’ earlier this year. Hua Hua singing Jay Chou’s music is basically one of my favorite artists singing the song of my absolute favorite artist. Hua Hua didn’t disappoint. The original has…
[OG vs Cover] 讓我留在你身邊 Let Me Stay by Your Side – Eason Chan陳奕迅
First I want to establish that I know Eason Chan陳奕迅 is like a god. I’ve always thought of him to be an amazing musician. I didn’t expect to like renditions of his music more than the original but Zhu Yi Long朱一龍’s version of ‘讓我留在你身邊 Let Me Stay by Your Side’ in the show, PhantaCity幻樂之城, was…
