I’ve been out of the mainstream Kpop loop for a little while now, but news of the return of CL had me excited to get back into the swing of things. Plus, after the let down of her last single “The Baddest Female,” I was hoping for some slick rhymes, good word play and a dope beat. I was pumped.
Read the full review here.
JQ’s ending the summer on a lighter note as he releases a lovey-dovey song that has his fans swooning. His ability to spit great flow on bump worthy melodies is what he’s known for and he remixes it up a bit as he adds a bit his own vocals as well.
The songs are usually more intense, more dramatic with melodic flair so it’s fair to say that the song lacks some oomph to make it great. The first verse gets you interested to her more but the ending gets a repeat of the chorus that just seems to lag a bit too much. One of the few summer songs that won’t make it to the repeat pile however check it out below.
Lee Hyori has been slowly bringing herself into the spotlight after all the problems her last album was giving her . She slows things down with her new release, 기억해 or Remeber.(Listen at Jenpoo.) Continue reading Lee Hyori Remeber
I think Navi is a really great singer and her last single, ‘ Listen to the End’ had that rock sound very similar to Kelly Clarkson.
Her new single, Diary, shows off her vocals over a light beat and guitar accompaniment. This single is exactly what I’ve been wanting to hear: light, Spring-y type of music. I rate her single 5/5!
It seems like Boni was working on her latest single, By My Side, while answering question from my interview with her! The songbird told me that she plans on releasing a full length album sometime this year. Continue reading Boni By My Side
When I heard that Secret’s Ji Eun was doing a solo I was estatic because she has the prettiest voice I’ve heard in a long time and I really enjoyed hearing her do a cover of Hwayobi’s song. Then the actual song came out and I wasn’t feeling it at all; in fact I was kind of disappointed that it didn’t have that umph I was wanting from her. Continue reading Song Ji Eun Going Crazy
I only like a few Japanese girl groups (BRIGHT,Tenjochiki,twenty 4-7), so I was skeptical about this group. I kinda followed their debut , just reading articles about them, but I was never persuaded to listen to any music. Continue reading TOKYO GIRL’S STYLE Love like candy floss
I admit that I wasn’t a huge listener of MBLAQ when they first debuted with ‘Oh Yeah’. I started listening to them when they released ‘G.O.O.D Luv’ which was such a nice mid tempo pop song. Continue reading MBLAQ Cry
After school impressed with their second single, 너 때문ì—/Because of You. This was my favorite song of 2009 and the best single from the group. Continue reading After School Because of You
After School just keeps getting new members with every new single! So they added Lizzy and Nana during their Bang! promotions. I still don’t really get their relevance in After School, but the new members plus Raina made a sub group, Orange Caramel. Continue reading After School Bang!

Perfume has been pretty busy this year and they continue onto their 10th anniversary year with the release of theri 16th single, VOICE released on August 11, 2010. After their previous single in April, they continue to release another techo-pop song which they do best as always.
Here’s another collaboration! This time with Arie J and NyNy. I’m in the regular type and NyNy is italicized.
2PM released this mini album after the whole ordeal with Jay leaving the group. I honestly don’t remember this because I wasn’t really paying attention to K-pop at the time , I was more preoccupied with J-pop.
Despite what happened in February, 2PM still made a comeback against all odds. What can I say? They are brave. I come back from holiday and didn’t know what to say really. I guess they were going to make a comeback sooner but I would have expected it to be later this year.
