Reminding Hongkongers of the late R&B legend Khalil Fong, Gordon Flanders is an emerging indie artist in Hong Kong’s songwriting scene. Influenced by Fong,the South-Korean star Crush, and his time studying at the Senzoku Gakuen College of Music in Japan, the singer-songwriter fuses jazz, bossa nova and R&B into his brand of Cantopop. Distinct from the karaoke tunes Cantopop-enthusiasts are familiar with, Flanders’s music is more like the perfect to-go late night jam. Before his debut in 2023 with his first solo album FLANDERS, Gordon Flanders already started compositions for other artists, with Hung Kaho’s “Dirty” being his signature work. If you are looking for some fresh yet soothing local music, don’t miss out on new works from this budding talent.
