Anyone heard of this singer called Chyi Yu?
This thread just reminded me that Chyi Yu's songs are so evergreen... Listening on my itunes now and ear wax flowing
Shd you want to invest... Two albums worth considering are "The Unheard of Chyi" and "Best of Chyi". Some of the songs for sampling from youtube:

Qi yu was one of my all time favourites... Her voice is simply enchanting.
彭羚 voice is very clear and beautiful as well.
Another chinese singer whose voice I love is the singer of the soundtrack for Red Cliff. -

Thanks Zack, that's most useful for people like me. But I still find her Geordie song the most stunning. A bit like Susan Bolye's 'I live a dream'.ZacK wrote:This thread just reminded me that Chyi Yu's songs are so evergreen... Listening on my itunes now and ear wax flowing

markfch,
Have you heard of Sarah MacClaclan?
If you like Chyi Yu singing Geordie, then you willl like the former too.
She also has a strong 'haunting' voice
That also reminds me ... also Corrine May. But I find her voice somewhat 'unstable', meaning she sounds weak in some of the songs in her album.

Just heard the song Angel. I think slow sentimental songs are hardest to sing. They can easily expose a singer's vulnerabilities, if any. She's terrific I must say - thanks for the recommendation. Somehow reminds me of Sting - he's terrific too.autumnbronze wrote:markfch,
