VIETNAMESE ARTISTS
Chillies - A chill pop rock band
Chillies is a 5 members band that is very well-known among Vietnamese millennials and gen Z. Their music genres are pop, ballad and rock and honestly, I think all of their songs are very catchy.
Đen Vâu is a famous rapper in Vietnam thanks to his uniquely calm rapping style and clever lyrics (Although you need to
know some Vietnamese to understand the depth of his lyrics). But don't be discouraged to give his songs a try, I promise
you will be hooked
Ngọt is one of the pioneer in promoting indie music in Vietnam. The band started as an underground indie
band, but later, their catchy beats and cutesy lyrics soon catch the attention of youngsters countrywide
The Flob is a band of 6 Gen Z members, being best known for their sarcastic and fun song lyrics that convey the rebellious spirits of the young generation. Their songs are compared to shared similarity with English pop punk music.
Bring me the Horizon - They used to play heavy metal
Bring me the horizon was originally an metal rock band, but later in their career, the band experimented with many more genres like electronic, pop, etc. Although some old fans did not welcome the change, but many others embraced the new style.
Notable songs (Honestly, I really want to list all of their songs here):
Childlish Gambino, also known as actor Donald Glover from the TV series Community, is a talented composer and rapper with many hits, including: This is America, Redbone, Bonfire, etc.
Girl in red is an Norway producer and musician that is an cultural icon in the LGBTQs community. Her music revolves around mental health and girl's love, maybe that's why the phrases "Do you listen to Girl in red?" is commonly used by queer woman to recognise each others.
Glass Animal is an English indie rock band that produces tracks that I can only use the word "hypnotising" to describe. All of their songs, to me, sounds kind of trippy and psychedelic.
Joji is a talented composer and singer that is promoted by the 88rising, first gained attention when release "Slow dancing in the dark", which was widely used in fanmade video and Tiktok. His latest album, Nectar, received many praises for its melodramatic melody.
Miyachi is a American-Japanese rapper that is now gaining attention not only in Japan but also international for his creative bilingual rap and catchy beats. His rap mainly revolves around his struggles being American-Japanese and society issues.
One Ok Rock is the first Japanese rock band that I followed. When I was in my emo phrases, I blasted their songs almost everyday, and still do even now. Like Bring me the horizon, this band also has an dramatic shift of genre from rock to pop, and enraged many hardcore fans. For me, as long the music is good, then I will support the artist.
Notable songs:
カラス (Crow) (There's no official audio so I have linked an live version)
Tricot, or Toriko in Japanese, is an alternative rock band from Kyoto that stands out for their poppy math rock (a style of indie rock with complicated arrangements) compositions.
YOASOBI - Japan's most popular band in the anime community
YOASOBI is a 2 members band consists of Ayase (composer) and Ikura (vocalist) that has produced many hits, mainly opening for popular anime. Their compositions is derived mainly from works of literature. The most well-known hit of Yoasobi is Racing into the night (Yoru ni kakeru).
Yuuri (優里) - If there is something like "Love at first sound"
So I discovered Yuuri through the song "Dry flower" and when he sang the chorus, I known that I have fallen in love with his singing voice. It's really captivating and also comforting. One more thing, he composes all of his songs, they are all really worth listening to, in my opinion.

A few things about me and this page:
My name is Trang, a mediocre Vietnamese undergraduate that has many passions but little energy (✿◕‿◕✿). This page is created as a workshop project, and also to share some of my favorite songs and artists. I will like a song as long as it catches my ears, regardless of language or genre, so my song lists are quite a mess :))). Hope you can find some new songs to add to your playlist. Enjoy! ╰(*°▽°*)╯
