SHINee came back with their second mini album, Romeo and I was excited to get more music from them. Then, they released their concept pictures and I wanted to throw something at their stylist. Dressing up like a little kid isn’t “fashion”, it’s tacky. Anyway, I decided to listen to the album despite their choice of clothing.

8eight The Bridge
Mixed trio, 8eight, returned to the music scene with a completely different concept for their title track ‘Validity Period’ going with a synthesized electro beat. Unfortunately, some Korean fans weren’t very fond of the change in the vocal group, so the group went back to the studio to make ‘The End Is Coming’, written by Bang Si Hyuk who also wrote their hit, Empty Heart for their mini album The Bridge.
Clazziquai Mucho Punk
Classical jazz,funk and group Clazziquai went on a short break for Alex to release his solo album ‘My Vintage Romance’ and Horan to join project group Ilbadi and release Never Ending Story. The group came back together in 2009 to produce Mucho Punk.
I have been listening to this group every since I first heard Romeo and Juliet on We Got Married. Mucho Punk kept that techno fun that Clazziquai is known for and took it to a more modern level. Continue reading Clazziquai Mucho Punk
Big Bang Since 2007
Remember when Big Bang and DBSK were the dominating groups in K-pop? The good ol’ days without autotune and people actually singing. Anyways, I like the original R&B sound that Big Bang had like with this album instead of their latest Japanese singles that are pretty much an autotune fest.
Big Bang debuted with ‘Since 2007’ , a album with heavy R&B influences. It was mostly written by G-Dragon, but he also had some help from the other members. The album was released December 2006. It sold 110,408Â copies and reached the number 1 spot on the weekly charts. Continue reading Big Bang Since 2007
Perfume – Nee/ãã‡
01. ã㇠(Hey)
02. FAKE IT
They can sing without the auto-tune yet they use it. Perfume is known as a Techno-pop 3 member group in Japan and quite successful. There’s something about Perfume and their strange attempt since debut to use autotune in their songs that actually is quite successful and makes me go back to the J-Pop scene.
