Yin (音, “music”) is a weekly RADII feature that looks at Chinese songs spanning classical to folk to modern experimental, and everything in between. Drop us a line if you have a suggestion.
Well we’re way past 11/11 now but if you missed Singles’ Day, sweat not: we’ve kept a whole bunch of singles on ice for ya. As we head towards the end of 2018, we’ll use Yin to take a look back at some of our favorite China releases of the year. Actually — these all came out within the last two months. Damn.
