Over the past few years,
Taiwanese superstar Eric Chou has achieved mainstream success in major Mandopop
markets in the region.
With a string of multi-platinum
albums and hit singles that consistently topped streaming charts, the 24-year-old
singer-songwriter has been anointed by the Taiwanese media as the “king of
lovelorn people”—a title bestowed to the renowned balladeer for his masterful
interpretation of emotionally affecting songs.
Despite his popularity as a
ballad singer, Chou has recently experimented with EDM and urban music to
diversify his catalog. Songs like “Nobody But Me,” “Shutter in Love,” and “Let
It Go” showcase a more eclectic foray into pop, R&B and electronic music.
These songs were written in English, aimed to capture a new audience outside of
Mandopop.

breakthrough
His latest single “Room For
You” has recently entered Spotify Philippines Viral 50 charts at #21.
Seamlessly blending his knack for sentimental music with EDM elements and lush
production, the Taiwanese pop star’s newest song is another glorious attempt to
branch out into other genres and explore fresh contemporary sounds with
international appeal.
The laid-back, soulful jam
is part of his fourth full-length studio album, Freedom, which was released in December 24, 2019. The album, a mix
of upbeat English tunes and mellow Mandopop ballads, contains songs such as
“Old Days,” “Something About LA,” “Nobody But Me,” and more.
Chou’s newest song also
ranks on top of the Chinese New Year Spotify playlist
curated by Filtr Taiwan, joining the
likes of Mandopop heavyweights such as G.E.M., Jolin Tsai, and Joanna Wang.
