Playlist: Tizzy Bac’s Hui-Ting Chen

“This One’s for You” by Ed Harcourt.
A beautiful melody, emotional lyrics, plus the appropriate brass. If you’re a sentimentalist, you’ll shed tears at this brilliant chamber pop ballad.

“Mary” by Noah & The Whale.
A simple song about strange affection. The strength of its sadness is increased by a gentle folk style that also makes it comforting.

“No Kind Words” by The Maccabees.
Sharp as a knife. Its precise and cool rhythm can pierce your heart or cut you in half.

“Lonely Boy” by The Black Keys.
So wild and powerful, full of black humor – it includes all the cool elements you can imagine in alternative rock.

Catch Tizzy Bac’s bouncy piano/electro pop at Yugong Yishan on Mar 16.
