王若琳 ~~ JOANNA WANG ~~ 琳若王

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
