Cantonese is a tonal language, and Cantopop melodies are written to follow the tones of the words. That gives the melodies a shape that sounds different from Mandopop, even to listeners who speak neither. For guessing, it means the melody line is the strongest clue a short clip will give you.
Eason Chan anchors this list, with a catalogue that goes back to the 1990s and a voice many listeners place in a second. The newer names come largely from the boy band MIRROR and its members, including Keung To, Edan Lui, Ian Chan and Jer Lau, alongside the band Dear Jane and singer-songwriter Terence Lam. Their production is closer to current pop, which can make an intro harder to pin down. Hins Cheung and Charmaine Fong round out the list. If you know the words, follow the melody and the lyric together.
