xxl on the money w/ "CL doing a pitch-perfect impression of urban radio’s biggest pop stars," been trying to place those for a couple days now. 0:54 is an obvious (almost spooky) rihanna, anyone catching other clear vibes?

Nicki, specifically Nicki on "Did It On Em" which CL has covered before.

It's not just because I'm not cultured enough that this track sounds lazy, right?
Cause I listen to urban radio and like... Riff Raff's verse sounds like it was phoned in (literally - or sent as an LQ email attachment more likely), and the flash of sadness at "always traveling" is the most interesting thing about CL's delivery... but then it's hard to believe the rest of her tough-girl delivery.

Thinking very seriously about going to KCON NYC, if the tickets aren't highway robbery.
Meanwhile if you are just starting to learn English (or Hangul), SISTAR are going to teach you some very basic phrases/symbols: https://youtu.be/zlwsggJUwuI

ha the first 30 seconds made me think of daphne & celeste, though that was just because of that girl's voice (dunno names at all atm). song is pretty alright albeit well-produced
― misterjoshua, Thursday, 28 May 2015 03:57 (nine years ago) link
also man that new kara mini is a dud
― misterjoshua, Thursday, 28 May 2015 04:05 (nine years ago) link
Wow I love this, especially coming from CLC who were a bit generic before.

I hear "Beverly Hills" by Weezer

yeah I think they were going for One Direction and somehow ended up somewhere in early to mid-00s radio rock instead.

Wow that's embarrassing

sounds like SHINee minus the personality. I wish whoever handled EXO had proper ideas on what kind of group they should be musically but this was my problem w SuJu too.
― Roz, Tuesday, 2 June 2015 21:39 (nine years ago) link
My expectations for this comeback were rock bottom so this is a pleasant surprise.
Aren't EXO a throwback pop-RnB group?
― hurricane weather (forapper), Tuesday, 2 June 2015 22:48 (nine years ago) link
At this point, I mean. And Suju have settled into doing comedy songs.

Chanyeol's tragic Chinese rapping on the M version tho

First Love isn't bad either, I think it's a refugee from a few albums ago: https://youtu.be/BTAykHwftRM

New HIGH4 joining the batch of k-pop songs that switch gears into something super bright in the chorus. Not as effective as, say, GLAM's I Like That though.
― misterjoshua, Thursday, 4 June 2015 03:50 (nine years ago) link
Who knew hitchhiker was going to be a trendsetter like this.
― hurricane weather (forapper), Thursday, 4 June 2015 23:49 (nine years ago) link
The chorus is basically Should Have Put a Ring On it, no?

EXO and Big Bang going head to head this week and I have a feeling EXO's gonna win 'cause they've got an album (repackage) behind them.
But both groups were actually really fun live:

Also I dunno if we ever talked about The Ark and their Sewol-baiting tearjerker of a music video, but I've been quite enjoying their music show run:

@hurricane which hitchhiker song?

wait, wha? bright? chorus?

It's sugary after the more aggressively electronic verse, is what it is.
― hurricane weather (forapper), Friday, 5 June 2015 23:04 (nine years ago) link
would you mind providing timecodes of where you hear these transitions happening? i just have no idea what you're referring to. (we're talking about the 11 remix, right?)
― soyrev, Saturday, 6 June 2015 10:35 (nine years ago) link
We're talking about *HIGH4*'s new song sounding like hitchhiker in the verses, and Shoulda Put a Ring on It/a pop song in the chorus, right?
https://youtu.be/QbouVzMYrYY
The transitions are pretty obvious...
― hurricane weather (forapper), Saturday, 6 June 2015 21:02 (nine years ago) link
Listening to it I realize I'm not sure I've heard anything from them since their chart evergreen with IU.
― abcfsk, Saturday, 6 June 2015 21:28 (nine years ago) link
They had a sad song earlier this year that had some promise.
― hurricane weather (forapper), Sunday, 7 June 2015 00:50 (nine years ago) link
Pretty sure soyrev thought you meant that Hitchhiker song had the same structure as the HIGH4 song, I can see how it was confusing
― misterjoshua, Sunday, 7 June 2015 01:45 (nine years ago) link
yeah sorry, we weren't talking about the same thing. nvm~
high4 has a few good songs. "say yes" starts with the "just the two of us" changes and goes some pretty cool places.
― soyrev, Sunday, 7 June 2015 09:15 (nine years ago) link
still enamored by the lim kim collab. the lyrics on that are so good but don't translate well in english.

M3LAQ's new mini-album is *solid* adult-contemporary mid-tempo RnB and I support their decision to open it with 4 instrumental tracks that are each under 45 seconds long
― hurricane weather (forapper), Monday, 8 June 2015 23:39 (nine years ago) link
whoops nvm, I was listening to the tracks out of order... there are a still a lot of short instrumentals on this though.

Throw out 24 hours, Hey U, and Mirror. The other tracks can stay.
― hurricane weather (forapper), Monday, 8 June 2015 23:56 (nine years ago) link
BTW I don't think we ever talked about 90s-throwback-group 1Punch:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3D5MjwJVts
Maddie once described BTOB's "Wow" as "90s music as performed by kids born in the 90s"... but the younger kid in 1Punch is not even that as he was born in 2002 >___>

They're the latest Brave Brothers project group, which is probably why I like their sound

I don't care about Dok2 at all but really awesome that he got Young Chop, Jahlil Beats, and DJ Mustard to produce tracks on his next album.
