I'm Alive

So, I know this year will be amazing for k-pop lovers because there are a lot of comebacks in plan. There was Junsu with Flower, a song I greatly enjoy and an album that definitely deserves 8/10 points. There is also D&E's comeback with Growing Pains and the rest of the album. I have a lot of good things to say about them. We have the new song from Red Velvet which sounds better than I expected and there's still so much more. 

From what I know, May will be a lucky month. BTS announced their comeback with a new full album in May, Infinite will also have their comeback, Exo are going to do something as well and Big Bang will come back after a while. But then again, with YG is hard to know because they didn't announce the year. They just said a month. 

But firstly I'd like to start with Yonghwa's solo album. I know I had high expectations for it and for everything regarding FNC truthfully. I am a fan of FNC. I know that everyone has their own opinion and I'm in no place to judge or be judged. 

But let's be serious. Yonghwa's album sounds really good. My mother is a big Yonghwa and CNBlue fan so I listened to their albums as background music while working on my homework. Unlike Roy Kim's music, which I find perfect for working, Yonghwa's voice doesn't really make me sit and have this inspirational mood. No. Yonghwa's voice is powerful and he likes to show that. I dare to compare it with Jung Joon Young and not only. They have this energy and style that makes you feel good and positive and bad ass. It's good to listen in the subway or on the way to school. I do that.

Except Yonghwa's album, I'd also like to say a few words about FT Island's new album. I'm not finished with listening to it but I'm inclined towards Jaejin and Jonghoon's songs because they are very close to my style and what I compose. Big thumbs up to everyone, though. An album is so freaking hard to make. It annoys the hell out of you and then you get sick of it right when you make it available. It's a harsh world, the music world.

Music to the Ears (SPEED)

Lately, I've gotten into SPEED. I knew them but never listened to them closely. One song that really attracted my attention was Don't Tease Me. The member who caught my eye back then was Taewoon. When I found out that he was Zico's brother, it all made sense. They look alike a hell lot in more than one aspect.

But that was all. I didn't really get interested in them or their music. A few months later, a friend of mine showed me Zombie Party and Why I'm Not. Except the videos which are awesome, I actually liked the songs too. They were catchy but in different ways than usual K-pop. They have their own style and I dunno. It really gets you after listening once or twice.

I watched a lot of videos and I caught little mistakes from their lives or MV's. It got me to think, really. They are really fucked up and I don't know how could I bypass them so easily. They are manly on stage but really cute and weird off stage. I like that. But what's really worth at them is their music. I really like the beats and sounds and rhythms. I still have Why I'm Not in my head and it's not going to get out any time soon.

Therefore, I really think they should have a bigger fan base and people should give them a listen. Their songs, I can't really label them as K-pop because some things don't sound like mainstream k-pop. It sounds really good.

As for the members, I truly am amazed by them lol. Jongkook looks all manly and serious in MV's and on stage yet when I watched some shows with them, he was everything but manly and serious. And it seems he loves toast. Another member that amazed me was TaeHa? I think that's his name. Sometimes he looks like Sunggyu(Infinite) and sometimes he looks like Eunkwang(BTOB). It's mindfuck lol. And it seems he loves to eat. I'm still discovering them truthfully and I recommend you to check them out.
