I’ve been out of the loop with all the new boy groups. I see their video’s on Omona, but honestly I’ve never been a huge boy group fan, most of the guy groups I like are underrated or focus strictly on the singing like 4men, Sweet Sorrow,etc. This was requested and I’m always game for listening to different artists. If you have any requests, click the box at the top of the page that says request and type out your artist and song or album. Continue reading X-5 XENOS
So as I wrote in my post about a month ago, I had the oppurtunity to interiew Korean R&B singer Boni. I have loved her voice ever since that famous Taeyang cover and her debut EP was superb in terms of a rookie singer; definitely on the list of rookie singers who were exceptional. So to make the interview flow nicely, I’m going to correct some of Boni’s English mistakes and the questions will be in bold. Continue reading Interview with R&B singer, Boni
Many fans were excited for the Korean girl group f(x) to come back on the music scene after their 9 month hiatus with Chinese American member Amber. f(x)’s previous releases have been cute,fun and playful so far and with the release of their first album,Pinoccohio on April 20th,fans wanted something a bit more substantial and not so cookie cutter. f(x) showed their playful sound alright, one that deflated all the excitement I previously stated. Continue reading f(x) Pinocchio
I received a request from Nana to review 4minute’s Heart to Heart, but since their full album was coming out later, I decided to review this instead. Let me just say I’m not a hardcore 4Minute fan; I do like some of their songs, but I get tired of their sound pretty quickly. With that being said, don’t think I’m bashing 4minute because they are pretty talented. 4MINUTES LEFT, released on 4.5.11, is 4minute’s 1st album. Continue reading 4Minute 4Minutes Left

I remember exactly how I found out about this lovely group. It was back when I was still on WordPress as Saranghae…Kpop and I was surfing through my friends blogrolls. I clicked on Neko28 and that’s where I randomly downloaded the mini album and fell in love. This group is like the epitome of relaxing music and their covers are so great, check out their profile!

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

British sensation, Adele released her sophmore album 21 in the U.S. February 22,2011. The British songbird continues with her soulful style and deep lyrical content. If you haven’t heard of Adele you are missing out on a true gem. Continue reading Adele 21
After her debut album, Hwayobi continued with her second album Ninteen Plus One. The album is less ballad-y and more fun which is great especially since she was 20 when she wrote this, she should be having fun. Continue reading Hwayobi Ninteen Plus One
I had so many potential posts saved as drafts from last year. I meant to publish this is November 5,2010! Can you believe that? Well, at the time I was tired of listening to the same thing all the time, so I just took a break from my go-to genre, R&B.
So I had some free time after school and that’s why there’s like a huge load of reviews being published today. I hope you enjoy my review of Hwayobi’s third studio album, Because I Love You released in 2002. Continue reading Hwayobi Vol.3 Because I Love You
A lot of idol groups have four or five main singers, then a “rapper”. The reason I have rapper in quotations is because those so-called rappers aren’t really rappers at all. Most of them are doing this chant-talking thing that comes off as annoying and embarrassing. On top of that female rappers are like a joke in Korea. They can’t have a real rap about something unless they are thrown in skimpy clothes, doing some distasteful dance for a bunch of old guys that are old enough to be their dads. I’m not here to bash girl groups because that’s what I started out with when I first listened to K-pop, but I’m saying that female MC’s don’t get the recognition and respect that guys do.
