Here to make Monday a little easier =)


This week we have rap, r&b, electronic dance, ballad, zhong guo feng, and boy bands… First Momo Wu 吴莫愁, the 20 year old Voice of China runner up released her debut MV Right Now 就现在.

New Songs

Namigirl release a teaser for her new song U Never Know
. While her rythme and flow is good, her lysics (which she writes herself) really need some work.

Xu Liang 徐良 ft. Yang Xi 杨曦 for this Xiao Qing Xin love song “His Cat 他的猫”.

Tong Keke‘s Can Live Well Alone 一个人也能好好过. She has one of those “baby voice” that really annoys me, but after a few listens the song kind of grew on me.

New MVs

Liu Meilin relases the MV for the song which was post on last week’s Music Monday Should Grow 该不该长大.

Ai Xiaoqi‘s Starlight is the story of the girlfriend of a musician.

Edell Ai released the Chinese version of her new song “Standing Here 站在这里”.

Linda Lv Wen questions the world with “Why 到底是为了什么” which is from her new album Dream Time Money 梦想 时间 金钱.

The 2006 supergirl duet Reborn returns with an electronic dance track “Save Me 救救我”. The girls have been inactive since releasing their debut album after supergirl, though they did have guest appearance in a few dramas.

Performance Highlights

  1. Diversity/sophistication in Music + x = A mature music industry

    x = promotion/Marketing sophistication and consistency

    We are missing x. If we have x, then the Chinese music industry can finally take flight.

    • I thought cpop was just ballad when I first got into cpop but now I realize just how diverse the industry is. But there’s no music programs to show off the song in China like there is in Korea or Japan. And no talk show to show off the personality of singers, and there’s only a limited number of variety shows…
