苏曼 Su Man

A laid-back R&B singer who turns lazy afternoons into slow-grooving love songs. Cool voice, warm heart, and a husky alto that never rushes.

Their story

Su Man grew up in Kuala Lumpur singing in hotel lounges before moving to Singapore in 2011 to chase a recording deal. Her first EP, 'Half Past Three' (2012), introduced her signature finger-snap groove and husky phrasing. She followed it with the albums 'Slow Tea Hours' (2015), 'Rainy Window Seat' (2018) and 'Honey, No Rush' (2021), earning a reputation for making Mandarin R&B sound unhurried and intimate. In her early 30s now, she is one of the label's most dependable names, and her songs turn up on many an afternoon playlist.

Influences: 90s Mandarin R&B, smoky jazz-club piano, neo-soul grooves, late-night lounge radio, slow-dance love songs

  • 周五啦,慢慢来。这个礼拜电台放了我二十七次,《红色塑料凳》排在第十八名,《晾衣竿上的阳光》也在榜上,谢谢你们在午后把它们留在耳边。我刚开了一张新的小唱片,叫《午后三点的慢摇椅》,五首歌,全是不赶时间的情歌。打着响指,泡杯茶,我们下午见。
