Yufu
Heal Me Good
Yufu Chen has been around for a while in the Taiwanese music scene. With his psychedelic surf band Crocodelia () he tours successfully in his own country and also through China and Japan. But gradually he becomes completely fascinated by 60's and 70's soul, a music style that continues to produce new heroes to this day. You could never suspect that an authentic sounding soul sound would come from Taiwan. Fortunately, Yufu takes the plunge and sends his work to a number of labels in the US and Europe. Zip Records from Amsterdam is an immediate hit and launches his first single 'Honey If You're Extra', which has now been listened to almost 300,000 times on Spotify. Not only did his relaxed, slightly husky voice appeal to them, Yufu also turned out to have recorded his music in a catchy and very idiosyncratic way with Japanese and American colleagues. Add to that his impeccable feeling for the look 'n feel of that era and you will understand that we are dealing with a special artist.
