After making an international splash as part of Chinese/South Korean pop ensemble EXO, Huang Zitao has forged ahead as a solo artist with tunes full of bombastic beats and memorable flourishes. The Chinese singer has a multi-faceted voice, snarling hard-edged hip-hop as easily as tenderly crooning more airy R&B. And underpinning every lyric are deeply melodic and meticulously produced sounds to maximize this versatility—twinkling keys elevate ballads, low-end synth riffs conjur hip-shaking soul, and aggressive sub-bass works up an intense hip-hop storm—with impressive results in any genre.
