I tried so hard to stay away from you but I ended up getting closer. Now, I lay in bed and try to forget the times we spent together. I'm afraid I might not be able to erase the image of your face from my mind but I can't seem to regret. Out there, out there has to be someone who can understand me. I just hope I will get to him in time. I hope he will be able to feel the bond between us and accept me. Even if that won't happen, I will continue to believe that hope is what changes the fate and I shall not hold any regrets. If I can't find you, then...maybe you may be able to find me. You, the person I'm linked to without doing anything, my one true love.
Would it be fair to say I've never believed in fate and true love before? Of course, it would be all a lie now since I have been strongly influenced by fate all along towards my true love and even though the path was full of mistakes...I don't regret anything at all.
I am in love with this song! Of course I was expecting something awesome from YG and usually their comebacks are quite powerful and make a big impact. The teasers were very ambiguous and the parts they used were more from the second half of the song so I kind of lost me but after I heard the whole song I fell in love with it. I read on internet numerous opinions on I Love You and sincerely half of them were absurd but everybody has the right to express themselves freely so no comment.
Back to the song, I also love the MV. I've waited for it and I was enthusiastic to see it and it didn't disappoint. The girls look amazing and even though Minzy uses a lot of hairstyles (which kind of annoyed me a little) and Dara's hair looks...interesting (but it seems they used G-Dragon's idea if not he was the one to use it on her since he does help the girls) everything was more than fine. I love how colourful the surroundings were and the concept itself. It suited the band well. Also the rhythm it's really catchy and the chorus, well anyone can sing it. This song is really hard to get off your head after the first listening.
What I didn't like at it was that a lot of parts din't really seem to fit or didn't have a continuation. From the part with them on the bed they change to the car and then to a different surrounding and the colours are so bright and powerful that it blinded me. But overall, it was awesome and I love it anyway.
2NE1 came back and they are prepared to swipe the audience off their feet. They are badass and strong and I'm pretty sure the song will get high on charts. :D
Until now...We're just in July and 2NE1 will have their comeback stage (which I am very excited for) and not just them. Anyway, it seems the most catchy songs still are the same (at least for me).
1. I'm going to start with number one because it's also the last to appear in our playlist. Yes, it's Super Junior's Sexy, Free&Single. The video is DAEBAK! I believe I've seen it 5 times at least. Even though the background is...disappointing the dance compensates. I simply adore the dance and I'm sure, even though it's complicated, a lot of people will cover it. The song is also amazing and I've talked about it in another post so I won't comment it anymore. However, the MV, aigoo, maybe it's the make up or clothes but these guys got hotter. Hyuk is the best example and I was really happy to see Kangin. Our dear leader looks hotter than all of them and he's 30. He doesn't show his age at all. I do believe this song will dominate this summer.
2. The second would be a very dear song to me, Big Bang's Monster. I still have it as a ringtone and I can't get it out of my head. It's still one of my favourites, if not the almighty one. I'm still surprised how much I like it and it doesn't matter how many songs will appear this summer, Monster is definitely freaking hard to forget.
3. I can't say I'm not addicted to it because I would lie. F(x)'s Electric Shock still goes through my head and it has a lot of power. The girls look very colourful and pretty but they still go with the same image. I also liked the video though I do believe the director should have been more creative. The dance is also alright but I still prefer 'Danger' when it comes to that.
4. Cross Gene's with La Di Da Di also appears on my list and it won't disappear soon. Even though I gave it more than one listening so I could find it entertaining, just the result matters and this is it. I also love the dance and the MV and even though it reminds me of Loving Ya from SS501 it's still awesome. Actually, now that I look closer, the concept of the video is exactly the same but whatever.
5. And the last, though the order might change, is Wonder Girl's Like This. I still love it a lot and it's very hard to get it out of your head. It's very catchy and it just sticks with you everywhere, even the dance!
I found this guys just now and I'm in love with their music. IT's something different but at the same time, not really. It reminds me of the European and American style when it comes to pop but it still has that Korean wave to it. A friend showed me 'La Di Da Di' and I recognize, at first I didn't really like it but after I listened it a few more times I got very immersed into it. Their voices are good and I admire how they are diverse, as in the different cultures. We have China (Casper and JG), Japan (Takuya) and of course South Korea (Yongseok, Sangmin and Shin). Who thought about such a versatile band when it comes to the members came up with a good revelation. Adding to that, the band can have a harder impact on its audience. Good job, Amuse Entertainment. Anyway, one of the songs I love from them is One Way Love which for me sounds perfect for summer. I actually see it blasting on the beach. It's perfect for that.
The guys have amazing voices and I love Sangmin's rap and Shin seems so much more innocent that JG who's the maknae. I recognize I've seen Takuya before and heard about him but never really got the time to listen something from him. They're an awesome band and on the roll. I look forward to more from them.
Let's see, Super Junior's new album worth to be reviewed closely. It sounds so different than what I expected but I say that in a good way. The songs are really something. I swear this album is a 'must have'.
First song on the album is Sexy, Free&Single which I love. Of course I kind of knew what it sounded like since there was the teaser but the song is much better than I expected. I did have to listen to it for a few times until I started to like it. For me, it isn't extraordinary but I still love it. It does sound like Super Junior in this one and I love the 'lalala's :D
Second song is From U. Alright, this song has a much deeper meaning than what it sounds like. They made it for their fans, the ELF, and I think it's the first time some band made something like that (at least for me). It's really soothing and they poured their entire admiration for their 'ladies'. I mean, the ELF love them unconditionally and they are fools indeed. But at the same time, Super Junior are fools for loving them back. (like Donghae said). It's a bond between loyal fans and their favourite band. I don't think it can be broken easily. The song, for me, expresses exactly what I said above and it's something admirable.
Third track is called Gulliver. when I pushed play, I started to laugh my ass off. The song is very good and has a catchy sound but they pronounce 'Gulliver' like 'Coliva'. In my country, 'coliva' is a recipe people do at funerals. When someone dies, the women of the house make it and well it's a whole process. It's hard to explain ad literam. The point is that we, Romanians, can't help but laugh. It starts so powerful and the word is sang with such force that it cracks me up. But, the song is extremely awesome. I can't stop listening to it. I love the whole album but I do have my own favourites and Gulliver is one of them.
Fourth song, Someday is so cute. I missed Kangin's voice and this is the song where you can hear him clearly. Their voices blend so well together and it sounds so relaxing and zen. I can't think of anything when I listen to it. It gets you easily and melts your heart.
Next song is NOW. Personally, I believe it sounds Abba-ish. Of course, not entirely, but when I listen to it I live a deja vu. I can't get the tune out of my head and the reason is just that. This song is not one of my favourites and no matter how much I listen to it, I can't make myself like it too much. It's just a good song, nothing more, nothing less.
Now, Rockstar is another story. To me it sounds like a mix of Bonamana and LMFAO's Sexy and I Know It. But, the rhythm is so catchy that I instantly fell in love with it. Of course, Donghae's 'Oh My God/I'm so Hot' helped a lot. I can't believe how hot it sounds. Unfortunately, however you look at it, Super Junior are pop stars and not rock stars. Oh the irony. But the song gets you pumped up and it's really hard to dislike it.
Bittersweet is a song very dear to me. I listened to it for a few times because I love it a lot. KRY is my favourite sub-group. Each song they sing is so calm and full of emotions. They are the best singers in Super Junior and not once did they prove it wrong. It's a song you get lost in. Or maybe it's just me. Also, Sungmin's voice completes it all. It's just such a cute song even though it's all about a bitersweet love. A so called fatal attraction to someone where you can't love but can't hate either.
The eighth track is Butterfly. This is another song I kind of got into from the first listening. The English in it is quite silly but what's simple never hurt anyone and made it better. For me, the meaning of it is simple: break free and let the world know you exist and hear your voice. Of course, when I read the lyrics I got a little confused. I seriously couldn't put my hand on what they meant but you have to look between the words a little. It's quite subtle...or maybe I just looked too deep.
The ninth track is Daydream. Again, a song I got easily caught up with. I love the melody and the piano in it, maybe a little too much. I tried to block their voices a few times...sorry sorry:D However, the song reminds me of All Time Low's; but they do have different meanings. In Super Junior's song, the 'story' is about a daydreaming love. Something that once was but now isn't any more, or at least it's not close and they imagine it so they can revive it. Did I make sense?
The tenth, the last, the most beautiful slow song I've heard in a while, A 'Good' Bye. I can't just tell you how much I love it. I listen to it right now and I can't get myself to pause it. The piano in this song is alluring. I do believe they talk in it about Leeteuk's departure for military service. Kyuhyun and Ryeowook always amaze me with their singing skills. They have the power to make you cry or smile. their voices are amazing. The song touches you deeply and a little bit harsh. This is a bitter sweet song indeed.
I love this song. I know the album appeared earlier this year...or so, but I was so busy with my own life that I forgot. However, after I first listened to Suddenly (because of City Hunter) I just got into her voice. She's so small and she has such a voice. I mean of course, there are more people like that, but her voice is also deeper than I thought. Or maybe she just looks younger than I imagined. Anyway, I'm really caught up into her first album, GroWing. I'm a sucker for good piano music and I guess that's what attracted me more at it. It's a good album and it should definitely be more famous. She's quite underrated outside of South Korea, or maybe it's just my country? But she does worth more than she's given.
Brand New Day is one of my favourite songs. It's really fresh and it talks about normal life and how we struggle through bad days, but in a nicer way. It's not melancholic or sad, it's just refreshing, like I said.
The second song I love a lot in this album is Missing You. It reminds me of Kelly Clarkson (because she is Kelly Clarkson of South Korea, or so I think). Maybe because her style is a little bit closer to the westerns' and that's why I find it so catchy...neah. I like Asian pop more than ours.
