SeeYa & Davichi & T-ara – Wonder Woman MV

15 Jan

The three groups that brought Women’s Generation to tv stations about 6 months ago are back to set the stage on fire again with a new offering. With different members of T-ara this time round, the girls have gotten together to sing Wonder Woman. The song is pretty catchy, and sounds quite similar to Women’s Generation, but also different. It’s a bit of a shame that T-ara, one of the hottest bands at the moment, don’t have such a big role in this collaboration. But I understand that SeeYa and Davichi have been around for a lot longer. Still, would have been nice to see the T-ara girls rock it up like we all know they can.

Do you think it’ll be a hit?

HyunA – Change MV

14 Jan

HyunA is everyone’s favourite ex-Wonder Girl, 4Muzik rookie (or are 4Muzik no longer rookies?) solo star who is rocking on up the charts with her debut single, Change. Complete with a rather salacious dance routine, HyunA’s performances have got everyone in a tizzy. The MV is also pretty raunchy and certain broadcasters are putting age restrictions up on it. This annoys me though… because there are some performers who do not have such provocative dance routines but their MVs get banned for other reasons. I think a dance routine can be far more revealing than a short skirt. Regardless, it’s a pretty cool MV.

peach ai Version 2.0

14 Jan

Hi everyone ^_^ Time for one of those rare things, a personal post about me and not about Asian pop culture. Pretty rare, I know but hopefully slightly interesting nonetheless. Just wanted to introduce the new blog layout to everyone. It’s been a long time coming right? But I thought a new year needs a new layout.

This layout was inspired by different things. I design like this a lot. I like natural flowing shapes and movement in my artwork, so I often design banners with this also in mind. Also, I wanted a white background because I figured the peach coloured one from before was not only very hard to read for some people, but also very selfish on my part.

What does everyone think? I quite like it. I’m not sure if the peach logo on the right gets lost a bit, I think it does. But I also quite like the clutter of the design. It’s like two designs really, and maybe they don’t go well together. Also, I still don’t completely understand wordpress’s css, but it’ll have to do. I like it for now. Gambatte!

Cheryl Cole & will.i.am – 3 Words MV

11 Jan

So, I know I’m late but just wanted to blog about Cheryl Cole’s latest song, 3 Words. It features will.i.am of Black Eyed Peas and well, the song isn’t amazing. In fact, I don’t think Cheryl Cole is amazing. She’s not my favourite Girls Aloud member but her solo effort has been enjoyable. The song is a thumping, pulsing electro pop song that to me, sounds much more sadder than Cole would ever be happy with. Anyways, the video is exquisite. It’s amazing. I’ve not seen such an intersting for ages. Forget Lady Gaga’s works, check it out. It’s simple but artistic and really highlights the loneliness I think this song is actually about.

Timbaland & Miley Cyrus – We Belong to the Music

11 Jan

Miley Cyrus is surprising me, I hope she’s surpising you too. She’s continually making music that’s more adult, more contemporary and well, better. I’m more surprised that she’s working with Timbaland but if anyone could wiggle their way into Timbaland’s goodbooks (or anyone’s for that matter), I better Miley could. I quite like this song, it’s catchy and upbeat and plus, Miley has a pretty great voice. I actually genuinely think this. Don’t judge me.

Younha – I Broke Up Today @ Inkigayo

11 Jan

Younha is one of my K-pop stars. In fact, after BoA she is the second Korean artist I got into (mostly because I loved J-pop at the moment and she was making a few headwaves in the J-pop scene). Younha has an amazing voice, possibly my favourite after Soyeon’s, but she doesn’t always have hits. Recently she contracted swine flu, and has subsequently fainted twice! Younha! Go rest! You’re so poorly, you should rest lots <3

Ivy – Goodbye Tears @ Inkigayo

11 Jan

Why isn’t Ivy getting more recognition? I know about the controversy from before, but she’s back with a great album and a voice that is better than 80% of the K-pop world at the moment. I know she covets controversy too (poor Nichkhun) but she has so much talent. I feel bad for her. Anyways, she actually has a new song to promote. Goodbye Tear is a beautiful ballad and she really shows off her softer side.

2PM – Tired of Waiting @ Inkigayo

11 Jan

One of my favourite songs from last year was 2PM’s Heartbreaker (listen to my heart beat, it’s beating for you!). They’re back with a song that sounds very Timabland-esque if you ask me. I’m not sure if I like it more than their last song but I quite like it. The song has minimal production, but that obviously means it’s been produced to within an inch of its life. Actually, it’s not Timbaland, it reminds me exactly of Black Eyed Peas – Boom Boom Pow :O The backing track is so similar!

BEAST – Mystery @ Inkigayo

11 Jan

I’ve never heard this song until today, I quite like it! It’s catchy and very poppy. *bounces along* mystery mystery mystery mystery! I’m so lame sometimes… I think it’s because I’ve barely been out the past week or so, been too ill ;_; Anyways, check out the performance below. They remind me a little of Verbal from m-flo.
