4minute – What A Girl Wants MV

18 Nov

4minute return after the success of Muzik with new song, What A Girl Wants. It’s kind of like a semi-mid-tempo electro ballad pop song. It’s a bit similar to 2NE1’s I don’t care (eh eh eh eh), but less ballady. So it’s pretty cool. I think it fits quite nicely on radio for this time of year. I always thought it was strange how certain music fits better for certain times of year. I mean, if you don’t have seasons, then that isn’t really going to affect you is it?

Check out the MV below, it totally screams Korean cinema at me for some reason. I can see elements of so many different Korean movies and dramas in it.

Rainbow – Gossip Girl MV

18 Nov

The world has gone girl crazy. Seems like only a couple of years ago when the world couldn’t get enough of indie rock bands, but now it’s all changed. Solo female artists set the charts on fire and in Korea it’s the second coming of girl groups. 2009 has seen so many new girl bands debut that it’s hard to keep up; there’s only a couple of months left of 2009 and there are bands still coming out to debut! Madness!

Rainbow are a pretty cool girl band with a pretty catchy beat. 7 members is not quite SNSD stage presence but they do bring something to the K-pop field. Kind of… sexy in a cute way yet they probably smoke and drink. Something like that haha.

f(x) – CHU~<3 @ Inkigayo

18 Nov

f(x) continue their progression from rookie groupie with the mostest and continually deliver polished performance after polished performance. The level they debuted at is pretty amazing considering some other group’s skill levels when they first debuted. However, what I will say is that their sound is a little ‘young’. If that makes sense? You know? Like, their songs sound less mature than other groups. Less sophisticated. I’m not sure if this is because they are rookies or because SM Entertainment are targeting a specific demographic. Either way, I do think they are pretty cool. Kudos for Amber for perhaps being the coolest member of a girlband ever!

Park Bom – You & I @ Inkigayo

16 Nov

Park Bom continues her promotion of her solo debut single, You & I, with a lovely performance on Inkigayo. She seems to have relaxed a lot more now and looks less terrified. Poor Park Bunny, am proud of her though ^_^

Ivy – You Are The Ace

12 Nov

Ivy recently made a comeback with her lead single Touch Me (cue much controversy) and new album, I Be… One of the songs on there is the rather splendid pop song, You Are The Ace. It borrows heavily from early 2000s Timbaland’s production style with Middle Eastern influences and instruments. Ivy gives a very polished vocal. The song is very euro-pop, but I think most Asian pop music is like that.

f(x) – CHU~ @ Inkigayo

9 Nov

f(x) are back with a new song and a new liv performance. I don’t like this song as much as their debut, they seem less grown up on this song and much more younger. Granted, that’s fine if they want to be a young band, but it doesn’t personally appeal to me. I’m off to watch a film though, I don’t know which one ^_^

Brown Eyed Girls – Sign @ Inkigayo

9 Nov

Brown Eyed Girls continue their promotion of new single, Sign, with a performance on Inkigayo! I really love the Inkigayo set designs, and their whole performance is just really sophisticated and smart, something that I think is often missing with other K-pop artists.

Park Bom – You & I @ Inkigayo

9 Nov

Park Bom gave a really nice performance of her first solo single, You & I on Inkigayo. I quite like it, I dunno why but she seems a little uncomfortable. Obviously it’s a big live stage and she’s only by herself but mmm. Also, I think some bits she mimes? Or at least she doesn’t sing live for the whole entire song. But still, I like this song. It sounds like a really nice Winter song.

Brown Eyed Girls are back and storming the live performances! Really liked their performance of the new song, Sign. The choreography was really good! Although I don’t like the song that much, they looked really professional.
