It truly feels like a blast from the past to once again have the one and only Amber Liu, revisiting the APN virtual studios in 2024 after making her appearance back on our first ever episode of 2023! The global pop artist, hailing from California, joins Tracy & Le to chat all about her current "No More Sad Songs" tour as Amber makes her way cross to Australia & New Zealand this month. Touring isn't the only thing keeping Amber booked and busy though as we also take a trip down memory lane through her time last year on various Chinese TV shows! 

You can find out more about the "No More Sad Songs" Tour through here.

You can also follow Amber Liu on Instagram, YouTube, and Twitter to hear about all her future releases and projects.

To finish off the month of love, we take a deep dive into one of the most influential rom-com movies, that clearly still has a special place in our hearts (for several opposing reasons) called Crazy Rich Asians. If you ever wondered what the APN team had personally thought of the 2018 hit Hollywood film plus the general evolution of Asian representation in the big screen, then you definitely want to listen in! 🀄💸
