Listen ily Kendrick but every time I hear the line "if I minimize my net worth would you still love me" my brain says "negative infinity dollars i.e. debt???"

i have nearly 1000 followers so decided to force my weird music taste on you guys!! i haven’t managed to get into actual popular chinese music yet so here’s a little weird collection of artists that i found accidentally over time. (all on spotify unless specified)

also heres some better places on tumblr to get more in depth and wider ranging music recs: chinese lyrics, chinese indie, liu-anhuaming’s tag, love those languages post

waa wei

taiwanese singer, i saw her live at glastonbury and have been in love with her music since. her album 末路狂花 is so lovely and peaceful to listen to.

queen sea big shark (后海大鲨鱼)

probably my favourite chinese music. every album is so different they have chill indie, intense pop, electronic, just screaming, and more. quite a few songs in english too but think majority mandarin? the english ones are bops too so who cares.

faye wong

a real classic! has performed in both cantonese and mandarin over the years. covers a lot of genres so would recommend just checking out a mix of stuff and seeing what appeals to you.

aristophanes

another great taiwanese artist whose music is super different. if you can handle the betrayal of going back to grimes content the music video for SCREAM has chinese and english subtitles, if thats too much as you want’s mv has been reuploaded and that was how i was introduced to her.

hedgehog

these are a pretty classic well known indie band. i’ve definitely heard them playing around china, and i find their songs very chill, esp blue daydreaming.

jolin tsai

very famous taiwanese pop artist. i usually listen to her very dancy upbeat pop, but also she fucking killed me with this song so just. have a look and see.

陈粒

folk singer who covers tons of genres. has slower stuff, upbeat stuff, just lovely to listen to her voice. her album 玩 was released this year and is a good place to start to see her range.

dabozz

female rapper who does chilled out rnb and hip hop. i think her stuff appeals to a lot of people since she’s so relaxed and her background music isn’t too intense. she sings as well on some of her songs which is also v good.

‘Over the Ice’ by Stockholm-based The Field. He released this amazing album on influential German electronic label Kompakt a few years ago. I’ve listened to it a hell of a lot since then, and I thought I’d throw something on here about it. The album is called 'From Here We Go Sublime’. It’s amazing. It’s minimal, ambient techno/trance with traces of shoegaze and pop - just put it on and chill!

I hate you for what you did and I miss you like a little kid I faked it every time but that’s alright I can hardly feel anything I hardly feel anything at all

”In October of 2009 Josh Eells profiled VW for Rolling Stone; it was the first time someone wanted to write an article about our lives. And it was also the first time someone had been able to hear Diplomat’s Son from Contra, —a song I had started on my own w the intention of telling a gay story. The timing felt right and I felt I could trust Josh, so in a phone interview with him I talked about being gay with a journalist for the first time.”

It Will Come Back by Hozier but you’re alone in a cabin in the woods.  You hear something coming from outside, almost like a warning, but it’s dark out, and you don’t want to leave to investigate.  You can tell that there’s a pack of wolves somewhere in the distance, but you can’t be sure how close they are.
