I stumbled upon this lovely artist called Joanna Wang when i was searching for a song called "For no reason" that I liked through a singing competition recently.
Upon listening to more of her songs, I am slowly falling head over heels with her voice and talent. She is definitely up there along side Olivia Ong as one of the really good "English" Chinese singers out there, a Chinese version of Norah Jones so to speak.
A slight introduction to this Taiwanese born singger :-
Joanna Wang (王若琳) is a Taiwanese singer/songwriter, daughter of famous Taiwanese music producer Ji-ping "Bing" Wang (王治平). Her debut album, Start From Here, was released in January 2008 as a double-disc set, one in English and the other in Chinese. The album reached #1 in Taiwan and has been popular throughout the Southeast Asian region. It was released in Japan in June 2008.
Joanna's views on said album tend to be rather negative, as she has stated often in public interviews that she greatly dislikes its corporate nature, its blatant commercialism, and its misclassification as Jazz. It is rumoured that her sophomore album will be comprised entirely of original compositions.

To those that have not heard of this talented singer, I would strongly suggest you try listening to her songs on youtube.
