E.so 2023 Live House In Singapore

Ever since his days in Taiwanese hip-hop group MJ116, Taiwanese rapper E.so has used music to make observations about society and reflect on life in tracks such as Just Believe (2014) and Acquittal (2017).

As a solo artiste, his music has also been inspired by current events. His song Da Vinci (2022), for example, mentions Britain-based street artist Banksy, whose work became more valuable after it was shredded in 2018.

The current tour marks E.so’s first solo performance in a live-house format.

Where: Capitol Theatre, 17 Stamford Road
MRT: City Hall
When: Nov 22, 8pm
Admission: $98 to $158 via Ticketmaster (go to ticketmaster.sg or call 3158-8588) and at SingPost outlets

B’in Music Exclusive performances

Four stars from Taiwan-based recording company B’in Music will take the stage across two nights at the Capitol Theatre this weekend.

Friday will see performances by Taiwanese singers Hush and Ann Bai.

Hush has clinched several Golden Melody Awards in recent years, such as Best Composer for the song Shadow Song (2021) and Best Male Mandarin Singer for his album Pleasing Myself (2022), and is known for his reflective lyrics and melancholic voice.

Bai is no stranger to Singapore, having performed here in 2020.

The singer’s soft, airy voice and unique pronunciation have served her well on hits such as What Brings Me To You (2012) and Escaping The Mediocre Life (2018).

On Saturday, Taiwanese singers Hsiao Ping-chih and Gboyswag – both former members of now-defunct Taiwanese boy band Magic Power – will raise the energy level.

Hsiao, the group’s former lead singer, is often seen as a tough guy with a sensitive side. His most well-known songs are Addiction (2022) and Love Hurts (2018).

Gboyswag, the group’s former DJ, opened for Taiwanese rock band Mayday during their 2017 concerts at the Singapore Indoor Stadium. As a solo artiste, he has built a name for himself by dancing up a storm on tracks such as Uh-Huh (2016) and Li-Hi (2016), but has also proven his singing skills on ballads such as We Are One (2023).

Hsiao and Gboyswag recently formed the duo GX. On Wednesday, they released their first single Baby Girl, a number they are expected to sing live for the first time during their show on Saturday.

When: Friday and Saturday, 8pm
