Roy Wang

4 stars

Among the three members of Chinese pop idol group TFBoys, Chinese singer Roy Wang has arguably best distinguished himself as a musician. He has released the largest body of original music, and his latest album Summer Time showcases further his skills as a songwriter.

The 21-year-old crafts a beautiful narrative in My Miss Stranger, about meeting somebody for the first time, and captures the exciting rush of possibilities of this encounter. And the tender Fall For You is about spending time with a loved one.

Home, a duet with Canadian singer-songwriter Henry Lau, expresses a deep-seated love of home, while the rap number By Now shows off Wang's versatility.
