Like this yo~ Like this~ Who’s happy Wonder Girls have returned to Korea for another album? I say it’s pretty good they’re back here again, they can release good songs instead of wasting time wandering around in the US. Okay so maybe they’re efforts are not worthless in the US but things sure do work slower there.
Anyways the new single is “Like This” which is a fun dance song, I haven’t yet gotten a grip on. I’m doing this post out of courtesy of the album Wonder Party, which I think has other songs that should share the limelight.
Have you guys had a chance to know BTOB? Well
BTOB stands for ‘Born to Beat’ and they are a new group of 7 good looking guys
with a great range of vocals from Cube Entertainment. They’re style of songs
are focused on their excellent vocals praised by several artists in the
industry.
Although they debuted in March, I just started
to really listen to them and after Irresistible Lips single came out I decided
that I really like their style. The latest album is Born To Beat and the Asia
Edition includes other great pop & ballad singles like Father and Insane.
Actress Seo Wu stars in the Irresistible
Lips MV along with BTOB member Lee Minhyuk.
Wow is it just me or did U-Kiss’s comeback was
a surprise? I totally did not expect a follow up mini album after DORADORA from
U-Kiss because of their gaining success in Japan. But I’m totally happy they
are back~!
The title track is “Believe” an upbeat and fun
house song from the Special To KissMe’s mini album to show appreciation for
U-Kiss’s fans. I feel I can enjoy this song because they don’t look as
pressured to come up with something to beat their last more serious songs.
Dongho switches up from rapper to vocalist,
which is a nice change its suits his cuteness so much, rather than when he
scrunches his face to look tougher when he raps lol, anyways I love magnae. Check
out the dance U-Kiss added a hint of Tick Tack dance in it as well! Concept pics below~
Believe MV
cr:ukiss2008
The album includes the first single that
spawned “Te Amo” meaning “I love you”, which is a pleasant upbeat song too. I
love U-Kiss, they are one of the most loved groups throughout the world yet
they never forget to show love to KissME’s =D.
I’m currently watching Dongho’s new drama “Holy
Land” where he is a shy but natural boxer and beats up mafia guys. Also you can
watch Kevin, AJ and Eli cook on KBS’s youtube channel show “Star Kitchen with
U-Kiss” where the boys speak English the entire time while being taught how to
cook!
Now really, BIG BANG.. what can I say? How can
I explain exactly how I feel my heart about to explode from the geniusness that
is BIG BANG. I’m totally mind-blown by MONSTER! How about you guys?
Seriously, I think this music video could
really contest against my absolute favorite K-Pop music video of all time,
Sunny Hill’s Midnight Circus. MONSTER has amazing special effects, costume,
cinematography and storyboard (although not easily understood) that are ahead
of anyone in the music industry today. There is no doubt in my mind that this
is the best MV for the entire year!
MONSTER is a cross between a orchestral ballad
and upbeat R&B/Hip Hop feel, my favorite part is TOP’s and G-Dragon rap
entrances. The rapping style is almost like a conversation but leads ultra
smoothly into the song. You can say that it would go in the “BLUE” category of
songs, but in its own right is completely different as well, check out the
meaning of the song below!
Let’s infinitize! Okay I don’t really know what that
means, but the guys sure sound cute when they say it. Infinite comes back with
another catchy song “The Chaser”.
The MV is a bit strange, where L is in a car
crash and he keeps rolling and rolling in the air… hmm a few other guys play
the part as bad boys on motorcycles, but Hoya is climbing something? Leader
Sungkyu is seen walking away from the crashed car, oh man did Sungkyu put L in
the crashing car?? And then there’s a mysterious box. Jeez I really cannot figure out the MV it’s a bit
cryptic, if anyone can explain to me the storyline please feel free to do so.
However I did enjoy their new dance, they
aren’t totally in sync but their moves are really strong and creative. Sungyeol
looks good in long hair, but it took me a while to figure out where Woohyun was
cuz he had long hair in some scenes. All of them look so good! =D
The most playful boys of K-Pop is back
with B1A4's follow up single “Baby Goodnight (Sleep Well Good
Night)”. This is another hit spawned by the silly geniuses of Jinyoung (leader) and Baro
(rapper) of the group. The last song Baby I’m Sorry was also written by Jinyoung. I
really love his relaxed writing style and he’s my favorite.
Baby Goodnight MV
cr:chb1a4
Sandeul butt bump! The dance is just the adorableness~~
I seriously move my shoulders everytime this song starts. And B1A4 is just so
silly with their cowboy costumes haha. The
MV shows that they thought they could trick the girlfriend by putting her to
sleep early, but really the girlfriend tricked them by using their absence to go out
instead. To anyone watching this I suggest just
have fun with it! It’s suppose to be a non-serious song yeah!
Can I take each of them home? Gongchan has those sparkling eyes and CNU actually doesn't look bad without his glasses.Well they might
just put me to sleep, tell me goodnight, and go off partying some more XP. Tracklist below..
JJ Project have had their acting debut in the limelight
as actors in “Dream High 2”. JB (blonde) played in the idol group I:DN (Eden) opposite
of T-ARA’s Jiyeon, whereas Jr.(brunette) was a backup dancer for I:DN. I was
really excited for their debut because I completely loved them in Dream High 2
and their singing and dancing talents really shone out throughout the drama.
“Bounce” is a super fun mixture of hip-hop, electronic
with a hint of rock and guitar riffs. That’s basically how you can describe the
rest of the mini album as well, it’s just really colorful album to listen to,
to pump up your mood.
BOUNCE MV:
cr: jjprojectofficial
The special effects are the same as 2PM’s Hands Up if you’re wondering. I love the energy these boys bring to the
telly! Shake-it up shake –it for me~~ The dance is really easy to follow and so
much fun to do. I love it! Oh and I love JB’s pink hair too lol.
Tracklist:
01 – Bounce
02 - Hooked (꽂혔어)
03 – Before This Song Ends (이노래가끝나기전에)
04 – Bounce (inst.)
I really like Bounce and Before This Song Ends,
who is the girls that sings in this track huh? Does anyone know? Sometimes it
sounds like someone from the Wonder Girls or miss A, I dunno..
It’s been a long time since we heard from
Dalmatian, but they came back with a great song and concept. After the cute
concept in “That Man Opposed”“E.R” (Emergency Room) shows a great exposure on
Dalmatian’s vocals and overall I think Dalmatian is heading in the right
direction as the songs are just so surprisingly good to listen to!
After Dari left for the military, Day Day the
rapper left and is now replaced by new rapper Simon who joins members Inati,
Jeesu, Daniel and Youngwon. Simon is half Korean half Japanese and he’s fluent
in 3 languages, including English, Korean and Japanese. I can tell that the
English & pronunciation has improved tremendously in this mini album.
E.R MV
cr:cjenmmusic
I like the intro a lot, it’s very different
than the random English that the idols put in their songs nowadays. The songs
really catchy I like the fading chorus, I appreciate that it’s really not
commonly used too. All the tattoos in the MV are painted actually so don't worry guys. ;)
Admittedly when I first saw the teaser, I
though “oh here we go another cute, look at my aegyo mv” but NO I was wrong,
the MV for the title track Every End of the Day is quite pleasant! The guy in
the MV never shows up, but can be seen as shadows. This is a happy ‘I’m in
love’ song and I think IU was not overtly cute as it was very sweet that the
guy made her smile and happy as his girlfriend aww..
The MV was fully shot in beautiful Venice,
Italy, I can really feel the sweetness grr! The album "Spring of A Twenty Year
Old" includes the single Peach as well, but I didn’t like it as much. Did IU
write this song? Or did she just act like she did in the teaser?
Sorry for the draught of posts, we had exams to take care of so I hope u guys understood!
I will post the comebacks I have missed, but
only the good ones because those are ones that are worth it.. So I
can recommend good good songs to you guys! =P
Hehe I will start with this, Sunny Hill that
came back as a 4 member group because Janghyun is still in the military. Now
don’t be confused this song is actually “Is the White Horse Coming” in Korean,
but in English they’ve made it equivalent in translation as“Princess and
Prince Charming”. Maybe it’s a phrasal thing us English-speakers to understand
the concept?
Again Sunny Hill does an excellent job in depictibg a song most likely
based on a fairy-tale lesson. This one is about how a guy should not get hung
up on his perfect girl, being picky and particular on her characteristics
because sometimes she can really be a real byatch and diss him, and in the end he’ll
be left all alone.
Is the White Horse Coming/Princess and Prince
Charming MV
cr:loenent
Tracklist:
01 - Is The White Horse Coming? (백마는오고있는가)
02 – The Grasshopper Song (Haihm Remix)
I really just liked the first song, I didn’t
really like the Grasshopper Song remix. I think Sunny Hill still keeps intact
that their song has a lesson to it not commonly presented by most kpop songs.
Also another upside to this video that it’s not so concentrated on a story, it’s
nice to have a dance video for a change, since the dance is pretty fun too.
