Mandopop: Xiaoshenyang (小沈阳)

Shen He, as is the real name of Chinese comedian and actor Xiaoshenyang has participated in many a Chinese TV series, but he also can sing which he again shows of with the humorous "Pig Pig" which he releases in connection with the new upcoming fantasy movie "The Monkey King 2".

Latvian pop: Markus Riva - Take Me Down

With the qualifications for the European Song Contest 2015 having started in Sweden, I can't help at least lifting one of the potential future competition. Markus Riva is an actor/dj/musician from Latvia and his music video (for the national competition) is quite an eye-feast. He won't probably be able to conwey this in the live performance, but still.

Kpop: Yoon Sang Hyun (윤상현)

A korean singer and actor since way back, his new collaboration with indie band Space Cowboy is a kind of rejuvenation for Yoon Sang Hyun. "If you wanna console me" is a sweet electronic pop melody which get thumbs up from me.

• Yoon Sang - If you wanna console me (날 위로하려거든)

Kpop: Lee Jung Hyun (이정현)

One could say actor and singer Lee Jung Hyun had a late (30 years old) musical breakthrough with her Suspicious Man in 2010, but with V she really charms me. If you have been following my blog you know I like these odd videos where the singer steps into strange situations, and for once I doesn't suffer through the "drama" parts of a music video. Yes, this song may not work that well audio only, but its a funfilled shownumber that's stands well on its own as a visual/audio combination.
