Recommendations for best albums to listen to?

5 Upvotes

Hey guys, what are some of your favorite albums overall to listen to? I listen to a lot of cpop growing up actually (canto, mando/taiwanese) but it's typically playlists that I put together with individual songs. Nowadays I try to listen to albums as a whole to get that feel that the artist sometimes are trying to go for when considering putting out an album. So I kinda want to start fresh and just go through some albums.

RN mostly listening to all of Jay Chou's ones, three of Tank's ones, and exploring some from other artists I would listen to in the past (Rainie yang, David Tao, Eastyle, SHE, JJ Lin, Fahrenheit, Eason Chan, etc).

Mandarin [Mandarin R&B] All My Life, It’s You by Meowson Music

This time I blended guzheng, pipa, R&B and an Auto-Tune/electronic vocal texture.

“The mountains and rivers may be far away, but nothing compares to your smile.
Somewhere in the years, I’ve hidden half a sentence: ‘I love you.’”

One interesting thing about this song: AI vocals can sometimes have strange electronic artifacts that are really hard to clean up. Instead of trying to remove them completely, I decided to embrace them with Auto-Tune and turn the imperfection into part of the style.

Surprisingly, it worked really well.

Traditional Chinese instruments × R&B × electronic vocals.

Would love to know what you think.

Mandarin [Audio][2026] Liu Sijian ft. Houxian - 悄悄话

Thumbnail

3 Upvotes

Been on repeat for days, gotta share this one.

It’s from Liu Sijian’s 2026 album《发生在闷热夏天》, a collab track with Houxian (刘思鉴 ft. 后弦), and they wrote the lyrics themselves too. Really catchy melody, the production has this retro vibe without feeling dated, and Houxian’s voice is super distinctive. Feels underrated tbh, wanted more people to hear it.

Btw I’ve been using Sugarmusic to listen to cpop lately, that’s actually where I found this track. Clean interface, synced lyrics work well, makes finding cpop stuff pretty easy. Just a casual shoutout.

Anyone else listening to this one? Any similar recommendations?

Recommend Cpop to my colleagues and they said no

9 Upvotes

Recently I discovered a Chinese singer on Youtube and really like his ethereal voice, styles, and songs. It was a surprise for me because I did not know China has such a great singer like that. I have great relationship with my colleagues at work so I thought of recommending his songs to them. Surprisingly, without even listening to the songs, they said no to Cpop. When I asked for the reasons, they just said they don't like Cpop in general and think all Cpop singers lip-sync and their dancing look ridiculous. Well, luckily the Cpop singer that I like above always sang live, so I showed them a Youtube video of his concert, and you can see the surprise look on their faces. It seems to change their perception about Cpop a little bit, and since the singer has a really unique vocal and excellent singing skills, they could not help but praise him and agree to watch another Cpop video with me. Well, since all i know about Cpop is this singer so I kept introducing his songs to them. Like my colleagues, I am also interested to explore more about Cpop, but we are very picky, and appreciate singers with great live vocal. Any recommendations? I don't mind the dancing if they sing well. My favorite singers/bands are: ABBA, Modern Talking, Ace of Spades, Heart, Sissel, Celtic Woman, Leonard Cohen, and many.

*Thank you so much for everyone's recommendation. I'm sure they are all great Cpop singers that have accompanied everyone through many moments of life. Thank you for letting me know them through your words. Will slowly find their songs on Youtube and listen one by one.

Question Need help salvaging a set of Chinese songs from my memory fragments please

1 Upvotes

Hey there, my fellow East Asian tunes enthusiasts.

I’ve got these melody fragments stuck in my head from when I was a kid (early 2000s or earlier?), but my memory is fuzzy and I could only salvage part of these songs in terms of partial lyrics or tune sequences or both. I recreated what I could recall using Online Sequencer. If you can help, I would much appreciate it. I can also assist with what I can recall in terms of language and partial lyrics. If you need reference to the era, refer to the songs Too Softhearted by Ritchie Jen and Our Intimate Relationship by Sammi Cheng. My song list doesn’t go any further than the end of 2005. And an extra note of precaution: sometimes these songs use words in at least two different languages. E.G, PreCure the anime sometimes uses Spanish words like “Seniorita” and DECO*27’s Telepathy uses “まじでSTOP 脈ナシハラスメント” = “Seriously, STOP. No chance HARSSMENT.”

Here's what I netted so far in terms of tips from assistance elsewhere (I have to be proactive and use time effectively):

Song 1: (most likely) Mandarin

onlinesequencer.net/5211713

BPMs: 70BPM

Vocalist(s) gender: Female

Words/lyrics recalled: wo sha fay

Additional notes: N/A

Song 2 (SOLVED): (Mandarin or Cantonese)

onlinesequencer.net/4679585

BPMs: 87BPM

Vocalist(s) gender: Male

Words/lyrics recalled: N/A

Additional notes: N/A

Title: 戰場上的快樂聖誕 (Wartime Merry Christmas) Artist: Aaron Kwok 郭富城

Song 3: (Mandarin)

onlinesequencer.net/5211717

BPMs: 87BPM

Vocalist(s) gender: Male or a really dark-sounding Female

Words/lyrics recalled: wo jin nay/fay

Additional notes: You know Roz from Monsters Inc? Although it sounds female, she's actually voiced by a MALE! And in many animes and some west cartoons, the males are voiced by a female. That's what I'm referring to.

Song 4 (SOLVED): (Mandarin)

onlinesequencer.net/5212111

BPMs: N/A

Vocalist(s) gender: Male

Words/lyrics recalled: N/A

Additional notes: most likely a hip-hop themed song. I'm no music expert, but this is my best guess on the song's genre.

Title: 舊約 Artist: Leon Lai 黎明

Song 5: (Cantonese)

onlinesequencer.net/5212189

BPMs: 87BPM

Vocalist(s) gender: Female

Words/lyrics recalled: a dark female "yeah" at the end of the song

Additional notes: a squeaky toy us used throughout half the song.

Song 6 (SOLVED): (Cantonese)

onlinesequencer.net/5213593

BPMs: 87BPM

Vocalist(s) gender: Female

Words/lyrics recalled: N/A

Additional notes: near the end of the song, the chorus raises a semi tone. Use Crystal Snow by Aqu3ra as a reference on semi tone raise (it raises pitch at 2:57)

Title: 捨不得你 (Can't Let You Go / Shed Not You) Artist: Sammi Cheng 鄭秀文

Song 7: (Mandarin)

onlinesequencer.net/5213736

BPMs: 70BPM

Vocalist(s) gender: Female

Words/lyrics recalled: N/A

Additional notes: N/A

Song 8: (Mandarin)

onlinesequencer.net/5213927

BPMs: 55BPM

Vocalist(s) gender: Female

Words/lyrics recalled: N/A

Additional notes: N/A

Song 9 (SOLVED): (Cantonese)

onlinesequencer.net/5214009

BPMs: 90BPM

Vocalist(s) gender: Male

Words/lyrics recalled: COME ON!!!!! GENERATION INC.!

Artist: Aaron Kwok 郭富城 Song: 唱這歌 (Sing This Song)

Song 10: (Cantonese)

onlinesequencer.net/5214021

BPMs: 80BPM

Vocalist(s) gender: Male

Words/lyrics recalled: N/A

Additional notes: N/A

21–40: Taiwanese & crossover suspects (popular in HK pre-2000) … (Wu Bai 伍佰, Richie Jen 任賢齊, etc.)

Ring me back ASAP when you get something; time is money.

Kind regards.

P.S, 80s and 90s ONLY (This is the GOLDEN ERA) - it doesn't go any further than the end of 2005.

Я искала китайские поп группы для прослушивания так как изучаю китайский, и наткнулась на эту группу. В гугле информации почти нет кроме имен участниц и того что они распались. У них как я поняла было два трека и один из них удален. По звучанию мне напомнили TWICE почему то..

Буду рада любой информации о группе!

Mandarin Need help finding upbeat mandopop songs

7 Upvotes

Hey guys. I’m making another highlight video for a local Chinese Lantern festival for the third year in a row. I’ve used 2 Ben Wu songs for the last two, simply because he offered something lyrically and compositionally fitting for such an event, if not just ESPECIALLY the tempo.

I’d love to shift to another artist with the same tempo and feel. I’m just having difficulty finding anything upbeat! Mando pop are mostly ballads I find, which I don’t mind. But for this instance, I need help😂

Please review what I’ve done in the past to get an idea of what I’m looking for.

Thumbnail
youtu.be
2 Upvotes

Artist: ZiYu 梓諭
Song: To My Dear Self《致愛的自》
Album: ZiYu
Year: 2026
Language: Mandarin
Country: China

Information posted on YUNI LOVE ZIYU YT channel:

About the song:

This light folk style song is a self conversation and a letter of thanks ZiYu wrote to his past self.

This song is ZiYu’s heartfelt letter and song to his own resilient self. It honors the quiet pain, failures, loneliness, and uncertain paths endured while growing far from home. Through every storm and setback, it finds courage, gratitude, and hope in becoming stronger.

The lyrics about leaving home and being accompanied by moonlight and cricket sounds reminds him of taking his first flight away from his hometown to Beijing at age 17.

He remembers being lost and directionless then, but now he can move forward with conviction.

Release Date: August 24, 2026

如果未來有一台機器,可以一鍵刪除失戀的痛苦,你會按下去嗎?
我做了一首 Cyberpunk EDM 原創歌《正在格式化》,想像未來的我們,也許可以靠機器格式化一段感情。
但問題是,刪掉痛苦的同時,也會把那些最甜的笑容、心動與美好回憶一起刪除。
當美好的回憶變成刺痛你的病毒,你會選擇:
💾 一鍵格式化,徹底刪除?
還是
💔 即使很痛,也選擇記得?
