Although better known for his forays on the silver screen, Aloys Chen has fashioned a substantial music career with each highly anticipated new release. His training in traditional Chinese music brings assured vocal control over his mood-heavy tracks—and while his style is inherently Mandopop, the songs are a heady brew of influences. "Dance, Dance, Dance", for one, is a scintillating pop cut with smooth hints of bossa nova. And on his more ambitious numbers, the Chongqing native evokes cinematic ambience through lush instruments and spirited melodies.
