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"
