Have You Listened To Them Yet?: [27th Oct – 2nd Nov 2014]

Disclaimer: All posts are just containing my OPINION. I don’t mean to offend. I mean to give only my honest feedback. Also, I do not listen to every song, although I try to. (I might have missed them or the site may not have posted on it. The ‘Discovered’ section exists for this reason.)

By the way, this link here is for those who wish to look at (almost) every song that came out in each week. Since I don’t like EVERY song that comes out, I thought the Soompi tag should reflect a better picture of the releases. 😀 Two other links here may help too: LINK #1, LINK #2

SO MANY music releases this week. >.<

The Good

#1. Rainstone (a.k.a JYP US SVP) produces <Rainstorm> (known for producing WG’s ‘Nobody’) 

Electronic mid-tempo Dubstep Hip-Hop-Rap R&B – ‘Rainstorm’ by Brian Mcknight, San E & Verbal Jint [Dopely unexpected]

And here is my pick for the week(end)!

The good

The drear cold of Autumn, and the warm, empathy of Ballads. As Autumn finds its way to Korea, Ballads dominate the country’s October music releases.

#1. New Champ <4 Da Lady>

The rapper sure knows how to choose his vocalists~

Track 01.   Sexy Low-tempo Rap R&B Ballad – ‘I Already Knew’ (ft. Ji Hee Pil)

Track 02.   Sweet Low-tempo Urban R&B Rap Ballad – ‘Goodnight’ (ft Phantom’s Sanchez)

 

Have You Listened To Them Yet?: [25th Aug – 13th Sept 2014]

It’s been a sad week as shocking news of Ladies’ Code’s tragic accident overcomes Korea’s entertainment industry. Although I wasn’t a fan of LC, I’ve seen Ri Se in Running Man and grew fond of her. Sigh. RIP EunB(i) and Rise. And to the remaining members Ashley, So Jeong and Zuny, stay strong!

As a tribute to the girls, ‘I’m Fine Thank You’ rose to the top of various charts (see here), mnet and KBS both broadcasted videos in memory of EunB(i) and Rise.

My belated condolences to EunB(i) and Ri Se.

Songs I Like and Would Like to Recommend

One would have to be living under a real rock to not know EXID (or member Ha Ni) and their hit ‘Up And Down’. The Hip-Hop Dance track has a ‘strong saxophone melody and catchy hook’ and was already big on variety shows before this review (obviously..). (SBS Running Man and KBS 2D1N to name a few.) The part played most on such shows was the hook. But the 2-part chorus sung by Hye Rin and Sol Ji? Awesome!

 

J-(Eng-)Rock Band: ONE OK ROCK

I usually don’t do Japanese songs (because Korean music is enough to kill, what with the competitive nature of the industry >.<) but I chanced upon this band on youtube (only now? Yes, only now. *guilty*) and I found them to be awesome. I was also surprised at the standard of English the vocalist(Taka?) had. For starters, here’s three of their title tracks:)

Songs I Like and Would Like to Recommend 

1. Mikey (of Double Kick)’s RnB version of Sistar’s ‘Loving You’ is my kind of song. It focuses more on the singing and, the vocals by Mikey and Olltii is awesome. It’s got this sexy but gentle and sweet(FALSETTOOOOO!…eheh) touch with the change in music style. For Sistar’s version, it would be for people who like the upbeat fun type of tracks.
