王若琳 ~~ JOANNA WANG ~~ 琳若王

i know right, it’s like i’m crap at understanding music

new video is absolutely infuriating. well done.

ok I laughed out loud when the song actually kicked in. idk if that video is stupid or brilliant but that was pretty funny.

this new album is pretty nice. it doesn't really fit in with her famous stuff or her weird stuff. after seeing the intentionally droll video it begins to make more sense. some of the tunes are really good but for a 19-track album there aren't a lot of them...this thing is barely a half hour

this new album is good! it sort of plays out like a jonathan coulton ep.

yeah it really does square the two sides of the Wang coin, if that makes sense

it's sort of astonishing how good the produced songs are on this.

btw i found this announcement and completely fell for it until i saw the name.

Wang Ruolin has won a prize, apparently for a musician who "insists on the direction of creation and breaks the mainstream, creating new possibilities for female music creation" (or so Google Translate has it). The prizewinning situation sounds very Joanna Wang, too:

The Golden Melody 30 Jury Prize was awarded to the singer Wang Ruolin. This year, the practice of publishing the shortlist in the shortlist was changed. For the first time, the jury chairman Chen Shanni announced the winner at the ceremony. Wang Ruolin said that it is an honor to be able to win prizes when eating in the background and being confused.

oh wow

for the record i’ve listened to ‘modern tragedy’ more than any other album in the past 12 months, it is staggeringly appealing

Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!
