Taiwan Beats
SOB’S, 204 Varick St, New York, NY 10014
Taiwan Beats is a platform set to promote pop music of Taiwan origin over the internet. The purpose of it is to let people worldwide know Taiwan’s pop music and love it. The fifth annual Taiwan Beats CMJ Showcase has announced its lineup. Taking place the evening of Tuesday 10/13, the showcase will present Soft Lipa, io, Boxing, and Treya. Some of these artists rank among Taiwan’s most popular talent, while others are steadily rising both within and outside their country’s borders; all of them offer thrilling international perspectives on both popular American genres and styles less known domestically. Treya’s heartfelt balladry and Soft Lipa’s boisterous hip-hop will sound familiar to US audiences, while io’s blend of Western pop with Eastern elements and Boxing’s fusion of disparate genres including Paiwan, Latino, hip-hop, and rock will surprise first-time listeners.
