Call it 'last dance pop'—the ballads of Thai singer Panadda Ruangwut have all the beauty and uplift for a perfect slow dance at the end of an unforgettable evening. She gained early acclaim singing on the soundtracks of Thai dramas before releasing her first solo album in the late ‘90s, and she's been perfecting sugar-sweet ballads that pack a punch ever since. Whether she's singing over dramatic piano or slowly strummed guitar, Ruangwut offers up a range of emotions in a gorgeously malleable voice.
