  • Comment: "Taiwanese chill pop duo" is too long and unencyclopedic for a disambiguation, I would heavily recommend something short and elegant like Limi (pop act) or Limi (pop duo) instead.

Limi is a Taipei-based independent chill pop duo formed by singer-songwriter Li and producer Mi in 2018. They debuted with the single "If My Nights Are Your Days" on March 22, 2019. Their first album, One of Two, was released in November 2019 to critical acclaim and earned them nominations for Best Vocal Recording Album at the 31st Golden Melody Awards.[1], New Artist of the Year and Top 100 Songs at the Apple Music Awards 2019, and 2020 KKbox's New Sound[2]

Limi's musical style has incorporated various genres like chill-out music, trip-hop, lo-fi, disco, ambience, alternative dance, and EDM, while their lyricism has focused on adult love and modern romantic relationships. Their discography and adjacent work have also been inspired by artists such as Glass Animals, Offonoff, PENOMECO, Easy Life, and Arlo Parks[3]. With catchy melodies and a trippy atmosphere created by relaxing beats and ethereal female vocals, they have gained over 1 million streams on Spotify in more than 130 countries in 2022.[4]

Formation edit

Li and Mi met in college and they worked together with guitarist Wyber in a Taiwan indie band called "Nightcap". Later, Li and Mi began to develop a chill-pop duo. The name of their duo was suggested by Li's mother, who said both their names "Li" and "Mi" sound very nice. So, Li simply combined their names together for the band's name - Limi. While Li is taking on the role of the main vocalist and top-line producer, Mi is the producer responsible for playing, arranging, and recording almost all of the songs.[5]

Career edit

2019: One of Two edit

Limi created their own official music channel on YouTube in a style of shojo manga without revealing the identity as former members of Nightcap initially. With the theme of "manga" and "adult love", they released a series of lovestruck songs monthly, starting from the first single "If My Nights Are Your Days" on March 22, 2019. The innovative way of release and catchy yet relaxing melodies soon earned over 1.4 million views on the YouTube video of their first single.

On November 15, 2019, they compiled all these popular lovestruck songs, including the collaborations with new-gen popular artists Yo Lee and Hsien Ching, into their first album, One of Two. The album received multiple nominations such as the Best Vocal Recording Album at the 31st Golden Melody Awards.

On March 13, 2022, Limi released the second album, Bad Babe. The album concept continued the storyline of their first album, One of Two, focusing on the main character's transformation from a naive girl to a mature and daring "bad kitty". Alongside the genres like chill-out pop and lo-fi that Limi's best known for, they incorporated Disco, Ambience, and Alternative Dance into this bilingual album.
