Friyay!: What to listen to

CONCERT

TMALL DOUBLE 11 CARNIVAL NIGHT 2021

Nov 11 is celebrated in China as Singles' Day or "Double 11", a shopping season that toasts people who are not in relationships.

This year, a six-hour show took place the evening before the occasion, featuring performances by Chinese singers.

For example, Jackson Yee performed a cover of the Allen Lin dance classic Love Birds, while Wang Feifei, known professionally as Fei, covered Miss Genuine, originally sung by Taiwanese singer Elva Hsiao.

Zhou Shen, famous for his crystal-clear high-pitched vocals, sang his song, A Lonely Blue Whale Living Like An Island.

POP

LIGHT A WISH

Lightsum
Rating: 3/5

South Korean girl group Lightsum, which debuted in June, are showing promise with their new EP Light A Wish.

The name symbolises the group as being a sum of bright lights illuminating the world.

While their first single Vanilla was garish bubblegum pop, this new work goes for a more stylish, subtle approach.

Lead single Vivace is an energetic number with a music video featuring the eight members dressed in luscious monochrome outfits.

The playful second track You, Jam shows plenty of attitude, while the infectious Popcorn goes back to Vanilla's in-your-face bubblegum pop.

All in all, these upbeat songs are sure to brighten up your day.
