Fifi Rong is a London-based vocalist, songwriter and electronic music producer. A groundbreaking artist, she is the first to succeed in organically integrating Chinese influences into western popular music, gliding effortlessly across an eclectic range of contemporary genres. Her trademark hybrid sound is a seamless blend of Electronic, Pop, Jazz, Alternative R&B, Experimental and UK Bass music, accentuating her unmistakably melancholic and sensual vocals.

Fifi has collaborated with artists including Tricky, Phaeleh and Yello (three tracks on current Universal Records album Toy). Her seductive voice can be heard on the title track of Skepta’s hugely successful UK No. 2 and Mercury Prize-winning album Konnichiwa, which Complex described as ‘one of the strongest album openers in British music history’.

Fifi has also received vast support from a stream of blogs and radio stations including The 405, Clash, Fader Magazine, Hype Magazine, Pigeon and Planes, BBC Radio 1, BBC Radio 1 Extra, BBC Radio 6 Music etc, and was publicly voted into China’s Top 10 of most popular new artists.

Having already established herself internationally as a stand-out live performer, with headline shows throughout the UK, Europe and China/Hong Kong as well as a number of triumphant showcases during SXSW 2017, Fifi recently performed with Yello at the Montreux Jazz Festival and during their seven-date arena tour of Germany, Switzerland and Vienna in 2017.

Fifi’s new EP, Awake, is scheduled for release in February.

Lyrics: Awake
Lights, cars and people on the street
Fated meetings and every soul in between
It’s hard to stay awake and hard to fall asleep
In the heated battle we cherish the kiss

Running and running and running don’t run and hide
There is a feeling inside that would never die

Loneliness taste good
Randomly I split in two
I paint my memories in blue
No matter what I will get through

Broken conversation and the silence speaks
Jaded feelings make out with the violin
It’s hard to take a break and hard to persevere
In the darkest hour we’ll remember this

Running and running and running don’t run and hide
There is a feeling inside that would never die

Loneliness taste so good Randomly I split in two
I paint my memories in blue
No matter what I will get through

Loneliness taste so good Randomly I split in two
I paint my memories in blue
No matter what I will get through

Loneliness taste so good Randomly I split in two
I paint my memories in blue
No matter what I will get through
