A time for family reunions, feasts, and of course, the collection of ang baos (red packets), the Lunar New Year is a joyous occasion that many in Singapore look forward to!
To usher in the Year of the Snake, Hear65, SMRT and the National Arts Council (NAC) has rolled out an auspicious CNY playlist as part of its I Play SG Music campaign. The selection conatins nine festive tunes from Joanna Dong, Miss Lou, MICappella, Jaspers Lai, The Apex Project, Lim Tay Peng, Chordinate Singers, Singapore Chinese Orchestra, and more.
I Play SG Music spotlights locally produced music at 134 MRT and LRT stations and bus interchanges across the island, as part of a broader partnership between the NAC and transportation service provider SMRT.
Notably the curation also features contributions from the DJs of Singapore's most popular radio stations! '蛇么都好' by all the DJs of 96.3 HAOFM and '蛇么都 HENG ONG HUAT' from the DJs of UFM100.3 are festive songs that wish listeners a wonderful and prosperous new year. Likewise, '蛇年旺旺旺' performed by YES933's DJs is a joyous anthem that paints a vivid picture of family health and joy, traveling with friends, and partying together.
The I Play SG Music x SMRT CNY 2025 playlist will run from 15 January to 4 February.
