SEAtide 2026: Charlie Lim x Diana Wang 王詩安
About this Event
In lieu of Freshmusic SG and Asian Pop Weekly’s 20th and 17th year anniversaries, the veteran media platforms have joined forces for a second year running on music discovery showcase SEAtide featuring the unlikely pairing of Singapore’s Charlie Lim and Shanghai-based Diana Wang 王詩安. The showcase will be held at Swee Lee Clarke Quay on the 19th of September.
Brought together by the late Mandarin music godfather of Soul, R&B and Blues Khalil Fong 方大同, Wang and Lim collaborated on a track titled ‘Starry’ which appeared on Wang’s first album with Fong’s label Fu Music.
An artistically sound yet surprising collaboration, ‘Starry’ marked Lim’s first forage into the Mandarin music world, and a soft landing ground for the creative powerhouse who’s slated to release his third studio album ‘DAYDREAM’ August 26th. Lim recounts the experience of being asked to work with Khalil and Diana on ‘Starry’ together.
“Khalil called me out of the blue and he said; ‘hey I’ve got this track I’m working on with this artist who’s amazing, would you like to have a go at writing a verse for it? Don’t worry about it being in Mandarin or English, just do your thing’… and I had a lot of fun writing it.”
While fans of Diana, Charlie and perhaps Khalil could highly anticipate seeing the duo perform ‘Starry’ live for the very first time, fans of Wang’s ethereal, melismatic vocals and wide-ranging catalog are in for a treat as this will be her first ever headlining performance in Singapore. Of this experience, Wang shares her excitement:
“I am really happy to be able to see Charlie again because it's been ages. I think the last time I saw him was also in Singapore, and also because I've always wanted to collab with him again..But what I look forward to the most is the show itself, to see the audience in person and to feel and vibe what they like. Because every time I'm switching from city/ country, the audience has a different type of taste and their own favorites/reactions are different... So I'm really looking forward to how it's going to go. Also this time it's going to be a very intimate show, which I don't think I've done before…I think it'll feel like me in my own living room. So I think it's going to be very heartfelt.”
As the most ambitious SEAtide event yet featuring two of Asia’s brightest stars in a warm, inviting yet intimate setting at Swee Lee Music, SEAtide has also partnered with Aloft by Marriott Singapore Novena as the official hotel partner for this event.

適逢 Freshmusic SG 成立 20 週年與 Asian Pop Weekly 成立 17 週年，這兩個本地的音樂媒體平台第二年攜手合作推出 SEAtide音樂會。今年特別邀請到新加坡的 Charlie Lim（林宇）與現居上海的 Diana Wang（王詩安）組成令人驚喜的組合。演出將於 9 月 19 日在 Swee Lee Clarke Quay 舉行。
王詩安與Charlie Lim的緣分，得追溯到已故的華語靈魂樂、R&B 教父方大同多年前的牽線，共同打造了歌曲〈Starry〉，這首歌就收錄在王詩安加盟方大同旗下廠牌「賦音樂」（Fu Music）後的專輯中。
兩人如今將在新加坡首次同台，讓觀眾一起近距離感受充滿溫度的音樂盛會。
