Music Obsessions – August 2019

A month has gone by in a flash! Its time for the next Music Obsessions. Due to not a whole lot of time this month to go through a lot of music and such, most of the music here is from Chinese dramas which I’ve really loved. Its still some good music since I’ve been listening to it on repeat.

Let’s check it out!

追尋年少的光 – Yoga Lin & Yisa Yu
(River Flows To You Main Theme)

I have to get back to River Flows to You next but the main theme is one that I love. The duet portions and the vocals of these two singers are really great. They work well together. Its a classy duet and there’s this whole waltz element to it that appeals me.

Nameless Generation 無名之輩 – Xueran Chen
(Go Go Squid Main Theme)

Motivating and positive, the main theme for Go Go Squid is all about the inspirational elements of the TV series about youth and fighting hard to get make your dreams come true hence why Nameless Generation. Both the lyrics and the tune is really great. This one has scenes from the show but its the official music video version.

Milk & Bread 牛奶麵包 – Andy Yang
(Go Go Squid End Theme)

The sweet song pick is the side theme of Go Go Squid. I already said that I’m obsessed with the show and this ending theme is so cute and fun. The lyrics are adorable and well, the romance in Go Go Squid is a ton of fun as well.

Aliens – Chenyu Hua

Chenyu Hua is a pretty big deal in China and while I’ve never really listened to a lot of his stuff until recently because of a reality TV show, I’m starting to see why he has so much success. A lot of it has to do with his more experimental ways to do music and trying to break out of norm. He has a pretty good style to go with it. Aliens is a really good song.

Don’t Wait Anymore – Justin Huang & Meiqi Meng

I’m a fan of the Step Up series no matter how stupid the whole franchise has gone. To my surprise when I was looking at some of the music videos newly released, I realized that Step Up 6 or as they call it a spinoff of Step Up has landed and its made in China and you can watch it on Tencent site for a little money. I haven’t looked further than that into it but maybe if it ever lands on some rental site, I’ll give it a go since I do like the girl in it who happens to be the singer in this song. At the same time, I’m a big fan of Justin who is part of Nine Percent and does some decent rapping.

That’s it for this Music Obsessions!
Lacks a bit of diversity but next month will change it a little when I have more time to look through some other songs and such!

What have you been listening to on repeat?
