涟漪 8/28/2023: Y2K Taiwan Pop

I’m so happy to be back for fall! And this upbeat attitude has reminded me of the slick, clean, cheery vibes of Y2K Mandopop. In this era, artists from Taiwan had a huge wave of popularity, bringing in more Western influences into the genre. In fact, every artist in this show is from Taiwan, or in the case of Singaporeans JJ Lin and Stefanie Sun, started their careers there. Here’s the playlist for this week’s show!
