hi! I was wondering if maybe you might have any mandarin song recs? I know I found a song by mayday from your blog, and unfortunately I don’t know anyone else who might have recs in chinese... sorry if that’s totally not even anything you listen to

OFC I HAVE MANDARIN CHINESE SONG RECS FOR YOU BUBS I Gotchu Fam *finger guns*

(a lot of these are by taiwanese/华侨 artists bc a lot of mainland china music is just….propaganda and im not really about that life. also for an (partially) ethnic chinese….I really should listen to more chinese music but alas 😔😔😔)

ok songs below the cut! (bc this is gonna Be Long ok)

the first mandarin singer you need to know is 邓丽君 Teresa Teng. shes so so so so good and also one off the most famous mandarin singers. ever. theres a saying in chinese that is basically: there is no place that chinese have gathered and teresa teng’s songs arent playing. she is also super famous in japan, and thats why I listened to her songs growing up. a lot of chinese who go to Korea to promote and stuff are often asked to sing her songs too so dont be surprised if some of these are really familiar

her most famous songs (that I listen to religiously) are:

甜蜜蜜 tian mi mi

月亮代表我的心 the moon represents my heart

你怎么说 ni zen mo shuo

爱人 ai ren/ai jin

再见我的爱人 good bye my love

何日君再来 when will you return?

我只在乎你 i only care about you

honestly all her music is Great so here’s a playlist (x)

JJ Lin, Bibi Zhou, Faye Wong, Rainie Yang, Ivy Yan, Yao Beina, Han Hong, GEM etc etc are all really talented artists too if you wanna go down a rabbit hole, or look up some good medleys, like this one (x)
