I love Kpop, but I never really listened to much Chinese music. However, I'm now in college and I'm learning Chinese(mandarin), and I wanted to see if there were some good Chinese artists that I was missing out on. I like listening and seeing what I can understand. And plus, extra exposure to the language may help with my pronunciation.

Currently, the only Chinese artists that I listen to are Coco Lee and eVonne Hsu. To give an example of the music that I like, some of my favorite artists are:

SES
Finkl
Baby Vox
Utada Hikaru

Are there any good Chinese singers that have music similar to theirs? Haha, I've been searching on my own for a while but I've yet to come across anything that has really stood out.

o.o I honestly though that Jay Chou would be the first artist named. Jay Chou is pretty popular.

And like others have said:
S.H.E

Faye Wong is pretty amazing. There's also Nan Quan Mama and F.I.R...argh, wish I could recommend more artists, but I mostly listen to Cantonese artists when it comes to Chinese music. :\

Try listening to Angela Zhang, and F.I.R, if you're looking for female singers. (;

:: Jay Chou (definitely, but with my limited Chinese, I find it hard to really understand what he sings

maybe because his lyrics are too poetic? and he mumbles XD but he made killer songs)
:: Wang Lee Hom (he made lovely lovely ballads)
:: David Tao
:: Mayday
:: S.H.E
