MASTER OF LOVE SONGS
On Chinese Karaoke nostalgia
ABOUT
A two-part project of a billingual book and a video that explores Master of Love Songs, a track popular at Chinese karaoke as it is a medley of iconic love songs.
The book pseudoscientifically dissects the individual songs and their relationship to love; the accompanying video (view here) is a lyrics visualizer.
Bright colours, gradients, and “basic” typefaces evoke the aesthetic of 90s-00s Chinese karaoke bars.
