Sherry Z represents the diversity of Taiwan’s music scene
Some genres, styles and musical feelings are able to transcend borders – and take a grip with artists and creatives across the globe. Based in Taiwan, the new album from Sherry Z sounds exactly like it could have been concieved in the soulful hotbed of Brooklyn, or the future jazz melting pot of South london, Time is a truly time-less project. Among many amazing tracks, songs like “I Was a Fool” and “Stay Who You Are” stood out most to me, as she impressively showcases the striking tonal duality and emotional depth of her artistry, mirroring her journey from turmoil to triumph.
Artists to watch out for in 2025
“I Was a Fool” is a poignant meditation on regret. The soulful conga rhythm and SherryZ’s ethereal (self-played) flute melodies create an atmosphere of introspection, reflecting her realisation of overlooked kindness during a difficult period. The track builds into a deep-house groove, illustrating the weight of remorse and a yearning for reconciliation with her past self. SherryZ explains, “When I found those old emails, it hit me- if I had just paid more attention, things might have been different.” – Sherry Z
In contrast, “Stay Who You Are” offers a refreshing glimpse of resilience. With its sweet urban contemporary vibe, it celebrates SherryZ’s newfound confidence and rejection of societal pressures. This song marks a pivotal moment in her story, as she embraces her identity and silences non-constructive criticism from friends and family members, an experience everyone has endured at some point. Her ability to transform familial and societal doubts into a declaration of self-assurance is inspiring, with lines like “Stay true, the world will adjust” resonating deeply.The progression between these tracks encapsulates SherryZ’s evolution both as an artist and as an individual. Time doesn’t just chronicle her journey; it invites listeners to reflect on their own…
