Best of ‘90s Mandopop Ballads

The Mandopop of the ‘90s transmuted an ardent Western pop sound into heart-wrenching power ballads, embracing dreamy reverb and dramatic synth refrains. Known as the God of Songs in Hong Kong, Jacky Cheung had a huge hit with his tender love song “Kiss Goodbye”. Mavis Hee's “Moonlight in the City” is also emblematic of the decade's best, with plaintive saxophones building to the soaring chorus.
