Taiwan's Hsiao Hung-Jen delights in duality. His discography swings between ballads anchored by grand piano and upbeat pop built on energetic guitar and hard-hitting drums. And he's just as prone to hopscotching across languages, singing in Mandarin on one song before flipping casually over to Hokkien. But even as Hung-Jen slips fluidly between styles, his homeland remains a central focus. Traditional woodwinds and stringed instruments feature heavily in his work, and lyrics turn up a wealth of stories about Hung-Jen's experiences growing up on the island.
