It's
funny how most of the products we buy and use on a daily basis are produced in
China while none of the music we listen to is. Of course their large internal
market makes it less necessary to promote their music abroad, making it
difficult to find. Luckily everything can be found on YouTube and thus, a
couple of years ago, I came across Jolin Tsai. Jolin is a Mandopop singer (pop
music sung in Mandarin) born in Taiwan and arguably one of the bestselling
female singers in the Greater China Region. The first music videos of Jolin I stumbled
upon were Mr.Q and Agent J, dating from 2006 and 2007
respectively. Both pop songs were catchy enough for me to become a fan of
Jolin. Since then Jolin has improved and diversified her sound more. Her latest
album Play was released in 2014.
Besides the upbeat title song Play it
also features ballads like The ThirdPerson And I and even a collaboration with J-Pop singer Namie Amuro in I'm Not Yours. Lately she's been busy
doing other things besides music like being a voice-actress in the Disney movie
Zootopia. Work on her new album has been scheduled to start in the second half
of 2016.
Other favourites: The Great Artist, Spying On You Behind The Fence and Lip Reading.
