Mandopop: Mao Ze Shao - Shake your ass & Naked

I liked the sound of Mao Ze Shao's first video, and so it makes me happy that she has followed up on the ideo of using rhythm in a almost funky way in "Naked" and "Shake your ass". Not being high budget, the video's does what they need to do well.

• Mao Ze Shao - Naked (赤裸裸)
• Mao Ze Shao - Shake your ass (屁股翹翹)

Mandopop: Leah Dou (Dou Jingtong / 竇靖童)

Famous Hong Kong star Faye Wong's daughter Leah Dou is well on her way to become a star of heir own. The latest "Brother" (filmed in Shanghai btw) is an excellent example of this, with a style that feels personal and a modern sound.

• Leah Dou - Brother (兄弟, backup link here)
• Leah Dou - May Rain
• Leah Dou - Bitter Sweet
• Leah Dou - Chimes
• Leah Dou - My Days
• Leah Dou - River Run

Mandopop: Jike Junyi (吉克隽逸)

Also known as Summer, Jike Junyi from Sichuan was a runner up in the final of the second season of The voice of China in 2012. Stylistically and soundwise she combines American R&B with more traditional Chinese ballads. The new oddly named "Lotion song" is my favorite so far, with its soft and introspective tone.

• Jike Junyi - Lotion Song
• Jike Junyi - Color Black (彩色的黑)
• Jike Junyi - 月到天心處
• Jike Junyi - A heart song (一首心歌)
• Jike Junyi - Summer Time
• Jike Junyi - Theme song for "Snow girl and the dark crystal"

Mandopop: Wang Yuling (Miss Cat / 汪妤凌)

Wang Yuling was a medium successful contestant (an exemple here) in the first season (2012) of Voice of China. The one interesting song is from her following solo career is "Miss Swag", from her 2013 album Next Level, with both an attitude and visual style not seen before or after that.

• Wang Yuling - Miss Swag (范儿)
• Wang Yuling - Spike (铆钉)
• Wang Yuling - Give it up

Mandopop: Mao Ze Shao(毛澤少)

Mao Ze Shao may be 31 years old, but by participating in Voice of China she got her chance for a break-through. The song "Do it, Lady (奔跑吧，Lady)" is a energetic and charming dance piece where her raspy voice really hits it right, and as a contrast, in "Dream" she really does a classical Chinese ballad very nicely.

• Mao Ze Shao - Do it, Lady (奔跑吧)
• Mao Ze Shao - Naked (赤裸裸)
• Mao Ze Shao - Shake your ass (屁股翹翹)
• Mao Ze Shao - Dream (如夢)
• Mao Ze Shao - In the sun (陽光)
