Silence Wang Essentials

Mandopop singer/songwriter Silence Wang strikes a thrilling balance between contemporary instrumentation and classic pop balladry. With wistful intonations, the accomplished pianist shows expert control, his golden vocals deftly building from intimate whispers to soaring crescendos. In "Unbreakable Love", he layers lilting guitars over R&B beats, while a duet with Hari ("Quarrel Song") is a playful, up-tempo hit. Bracing rock guitar riffs follow in ardent, epic orchestrations, and touches of Chinese folk help build richly textured melodies.
