Mandopop: Li Yuchun - Sense of Presence (存在感)




Cool Chris Lee, or Li Yuchun as is her real name, released some really nice songs last december, with the production being really top notch, and "Sense of Presence" continues this, with a fleshy sound and fashionista - ish video.

Mandopop: Li Yuchun - Only You & Real Love





Boygirl Li Yuchun's song "In 1987, I didn't know I would meet you" was one of my absolute favorite mandopop songs of 2014, so I'm really happen when she return with new music in the same ilk - "Only You" (produced by A.G. Cook) and "Real Love" is really two fantastic electronic gems. Worth mentioning is the nuances lost in translation when they chose the english titles - in mandarin, the first song actually literally means "Asshole, I miss you" and the second one "Love gravitation".

Mandopop: Li Yuchun/Chris Lee (李宇春)


Li Yuchun (or her english name Chris Lee) from China was widely debated when she won the idol competition Super Girl in 2005 as she had a tomboyish/androgynous styling which didn't follow the usual beauty standard. She has since then risen to become one of the most famous chinese singers, but for me her music hasn't really done it for until this year. First the interesting "Dance to the music", and now, the superb synth retro video of "In 1987, I didn't know I would meet you".
