We noticed JJ Lin is on the soundtrack of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings

While half of the world is gushing over Tony Leung's mesmerising eyes and acting in the newly released Marvel movie Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, let's pause for four minutes to soak in the fact that Singaporean singer JJ Lin is also involved.

Specifically, the 40-year-old sang the very trippy and addictive song Lose Control for the soundtrack. (He didn't write it though.)

Not that we're biased, but the R&B/electropop number — there's even a short section with traditional Chinese music — sounds like a potential earworm. 

The soundtrack was released on Sept 3, two days after the movie's release in Singapore, and features Asian and Asian-American artists including Korean boy band Got7's Mark Tuan, Indonesian-American Niki, Indonesian Rich Brian, and South Korean Seori.

According to a release, music recording company 88rising executive produced the record in collaboration with Shang-Chi director Destin Daniel Cretton with the intention of showcasing the "next generation of Asian artists from around the world".

Glad that JJ is getting international recognition outside of Asia!
