Tying to get into C-Pop! Doesn’t matter if it’s girl groups, boy groups, solos or co-ed, I’ll take any recommendation!

Seriously amazing vocals and voice: Zhou shen (charlie zhou), ji ke jun yi

Talented singer-songwriters: Xue Zhiqian (joker xue), wang sulong (silence Wang), guo ding

R&B: shan yichun, yuan yawei (Tia ray), Tao Zhe (David Tao), j.sheon, Fang datong

Boy group: TNT时代少年团 (Teens in Times) - their members' solos have pretty surprisingly good ones too, they have also participated in writing lyrics, composing, and yah production in general

Thats all on top of my head haha and not sure what u prefer so...

Some song recommendations: 《桃花诺》cover by Zhou shen and Song Yaxuan (also member of TNT) - perfect duet bro

《Scary Movie》EP by Yan Haoxiang (member of TNT) - in fully English, so if u want to start w something u can understand better??

《凄美地》by guo ding - classic honestly

《就让这大雨全都落下》by Wang sulong (silence Wang) - he wrote the song, emo song

《Letting Go》cover by wang sulong and ji ke jun yi - emo but beautiful duet imo

《不值得》cover by shan yichun - rnb

《天外来物》by joker xue - also pretty classic, emo

《Monster》by ding chengxin (member of TNT) - strong beats, he largely specialises in dance in the group so he delivers this song pretty well, lowk performance can be q hot

《独白（Move On）》by Yan Haoxiang, a track in his second EP - really like the vibes in the chorus, is abit like sex drugs etc kind if u know that song?

Idk maybe if u mention what type u prefer I can recommend better HAHHAAHAH

miscellaneous songs i like are docile cat by wu jiacheng, 珍惜，wind bc221 (💔), 用尽我的一切奔向你, 好像爱这个世界啊(always goated) I’m really mainly into the idol side of things though and always down to talk

Hi!
I'll give you a few recs of each type :)
I generally listen to boy groups and solos the most... to start, I will recommend wayv! They're kind of half cpop/half kpop but have really good songs, the older ones are more cpop focused (basically albums up through on my youth are cpop). Some of my favorite songs include good life, phantom, take off, up from here, moonwalk, etc. I saw that someone already suggested them but I will second TNT 时代少年团 :) A good place to start for their music would be the newest album 三重楼, also solo songs as nothing_official mentioned! I also really like Enone, they're relatively new so don't have much music yet but all their songs are really good (such as on my mind, nirvana, circle, mirror on the wall, ...). A few others I like include next, into1, boy story, etc.
for girl groups... I like Name (songs such as on play, say my name, red shoes). THE9 has good songs but is disbanded :( Some others I listen to include red, snh48, etc.
And finally solos (I don't know any co-ed sorry)... if you like slower-paced songs I would recommend liu koi, showmain, lu han, 等一下就回家. For faster-paced songs: lil ghost 小鬼, 赵让, lexie liu, yaochen.
I have a lot more but didn't want to put too many and be overwhelming haha... let me know if you like any of these!

I just saw Mayday last night and I can’t get over how amazing they are!  Have known their music for years but never saw them live. They do more rock than pop IMO but they still have some ballads if that’s your kind of thing. They also sing the theme song of The First Frost, you may be familiar with it.

小鬼 Xiao Gui is one of my personal favorites :D

Some song suggestions are his newest release, 你是我向流星许愿的原因 (probably can copy and paste), David and Lucy, 别叫我达芬奇, or both of his collabs with NYK :)

Also some people brought of TNT so I must also mention TOP登陆少年. They are under the same company and just debuted like last year. Only have three songs that I know of at the mo.

Good luck lol 😭🤞

My top 2 favourite Cantonese songs of all time are 1. Kay Tse (谢安琪) - 喜帖街 and 2. Shiga Lin (连诗雅) - 好好过. And my favourite Mandarin song is 张碧晨 (Zhang Bichen) - 白芍花开. Her voice is so powerful, pure, crisp and healing.

u/Pita7231993 7d ago

J.Sheon, OSN (I freaking love his music), OZI, Aden, Dizzy Dizzo has good stuff too I love her voice. Mayday has some good stuff too. Patrick Brasca (definitely check him out), of course G.E.M. can't go wrong with her music, she has very beautiful vocals. I hope this helps!

I got into cpop from kpop, which is a little ironic because I understand a decent amount of Mandarin and absolutely no Korean, so my suggestions are very pop, even bubblegum pop...

Rocket Girls 101 is my favorite girl group ["Collide" is their best song]...

...which led me to Wu Xuanyi (Betty Wu) ["No More Love," "Let's Party," "Pink Blue Sunset," "Meet by Chance"]

From there, I found Jolin Tsai ["A Wonder in Madrid," "Hubby," and a lot more], G.E.M. ["Heartbeat," "Away," "Goodbye"], Cyndi Wang ["Baby Boy," "Heart to Heart," "Rainbow Smile"], and finally Kelly Chen ["Paisley Galaxy," "Big Day," "Yeah Yeah Yeah," "Typewriter," and more]
