momo wu (吴莫愁) - love love love love (爱爱爱爱)
here is a wongie's music world first, let me introduce you to the quirky mandarin stylings of momo wu. runner up of last years the voice of china, this singer definitely sings to the beat of her own drum by embracing current western sounds (hip hop, r&b, pop) yet throwing in some winks at traditional chinese vocal tropes. the end result is this syncopated crazy track that is also the theme song to the film 'the chef, the actor, the scoundrel' <厨子戏子痞子>. the song is definitely wackadoodle but i just love it! press play and you'll be singing 'ai ya ai ya' in no time!
wanna hear more? check out her latest single which is definitely more traditional pop but also showcasing momo's wide commercial appeal. are we looking at the next big asian superstar?:
momo - live for now
