Chance The Rapper – Acid Rap
One of the most brilliant mixtapes to be produced in the last five years.

Chang Shilei – Niu China
Just as its name in English states, Niu China is the album to showcase what’s new in the Chinese music world. From traditional sounding Chinese ballads to chanson francophone fused with electronic, R&B, Bossa Nova, to a Tango-ish sounding track, all the way to a mind-blowing fusion of Beijing opera with strong rock/electronic sounds.
CharlieRED – Religion
A blues/hip-hop fusion album that pretty much puts the industry in a euphoric limbo.
Chris Crocker – The First Bite (EP)
Chris Crocker is one of the most intense YouTube celebrities the Internet has ever seen. But does that intensity translate into entertaining songs on his first EP?
Chris Lee – Old If Not Wild
You can call it anyway you want, the truth seems to be that Chris Lee sings like only Chris Lee can. Her latest album Old If Not Wild (再不瘋狂我們就老了) is a testament to that, even more so than The Dancing Artist was.
Chris Lee – The Dancing Artist
Chris Lee’s (李宇春) fourth studio album The Dancing Artist (会跳舞的文艺青年) captures the concept of simplicity and maintains it throughout the whole album in an effective way.
Clarence Clarity – No Now
An exceptionally smart and emotional piece of music from Clarence Clarity, an artist yet to be given his proper due.
CNBLUE – Bluelove
The instrument self-playing quartet CN BLUE are back with a mini-album that is a bit more rock, a bit more swing and a bit more sunshine.
CNBLUE – Thank U
CNBLUE’s Thank U is one of those albums that isn’t outstanding without failing, but from the get-go will be fun to listen to.
Coexistence – Flow
The newly released album Flow by the French/Swedish heavy metal band Coexistence is in all a good rock album. In their songs they mix Metallica-style guitar riffs that are successfully fused with melodious parts.
