It's really well done... though the Koreans hamming it up for the camera are another clue...

I'm very indifferent to this song by SPEED but the performance is off the hook, they're like a completely different group: http://youtu.be/IEfE6UyBDXk. Core Contents Media must be patting themselves on the back right now for hopping on board the "seven rappers in one group" train before it was trendy.
I can't remember if we've covered rookie group Kiss&Cry yet in this thread, but they're also killing it live: http://youtu.be/s4-7Lfjrc58

In other music show news, I've been following the live performances of Some (Soyou x Junggigo) diligently because they have so little chemistry it's hilarious... so far they have resorted to singing with their backs to each other, singing from opposite sides of the stage, and taking turns singing and sitting in chairs to try to disguise their anti-chemistry, but no matter what they do it always shines through.
This latest performance isn't any better chemistry-wise but at least Junggigo is v. v. happy with their music show win yesterday (I speculate): http://youtu.be/rhi48uTir90

New soshi has leaked and it's actually fairly decent. SM are in damage control mode but it's already spread like wildfire across the net。http://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0aEhimdNRzUwNPF2p2EPqnLf4msBxBSH

I'm gonna listen to the soshi album, but in the meantime:

Second AlphaBAT single, like a more-listless Nilili Mambo. For a group with no obvious talents (apart from that one rapper guy - he's pretty good), their songs have been surprisingly on point.

Interesting single from BTS that shows what happens when your aesthetic sense is more highly developed than your emotional maturity.

New 2NE1! Had to admit, my expectations weren't exactly sky-high given their past couple of releases but this is HUGE.

What do you guys think of the other MR MR now that the video's out? I appreciated what they were trying to with all the hospital shots and filters but it felt kind of disjointed to me, and the soporific vibe kinda put me to sleep >__>

The small, dancing CatellenaWithout knowing,I’m falling for youChic and proud,Catellena Jutti meri oye hoi hoi,I’m bewitched
Oh my, she’s so great I’vefallen for her Even as a girl,I can see she’s so great. She’stemperamental but I want tosee her I want to know her,I want to dance with her
Lalala shake, shake it,wave your handScream until youlose your voice(Jutti Meri Oye Hoi HoiPaula Mera Oye Hoi Hoi)Good job, I’ll giveyou 100 points
Softly, softly,melting, meltingShivering,shivering, tremblingI want tofollow her
I don’t like her because she’sso chic But even as a girl, I cansee she’s so attractive I’m angrybut I want to dance for an hour,two hours I want to play downto my very last bone
Lalala shake, shake it,wave your handScream until youlose your voice(Jutti Meri Oye Hoi HoiPaula Mera Oye Hoi Hoi)Not good enough,have some more strength
The hands that brush byare warm Is she actually niceonce you get to know her?
My temperamental CatallenaEveryone is falling for herChic and proud,Catellena Jutti meri oye hoi hoi,I’m bewitched

I was going to just quote one part but man this entir song is soooooooooo suggestive
Between Orange Caramel and the Key/Woohyun Delicious project it looks like March is shaping as an awesome month for sexy food metaphors.
― hurricane weather (forapper), Thursday, 13 March 2014 00:16 (ten years ago) link
I'm sorry I brought Toheart into this actually, Key+Woohyun aren't touching the out-and-out suggestiveness of Orange Caramel right now <3 <3 <3
From Ytube:
"The title song "Catallena" is an Indian disco song which also inspired by 'Jutti Meri', a Pakistan's ethnic group Punjab's folk song. With a perfect harmony of funky guitar and the string sound combined with the lyrics about weird but somehow attractive character "Catallena", this addictive song truly shows the unique style of ORANGE CARAMEL."
I was all ready to be "meh" about the song but since it's about cunnilingus I'll give it 100 out of 100 points.

"Dalla" is his debut song, a lot of it sounds borrowed but it's impressive how easily he switches between the song's different modes. That part at :39 is so familiar, which year-end-best-of-list rapper am I thinking of?

Expected SNSD's Twinkle for a hot second but the new 4minute is okay... catchy at least.

Jiyoon is a better rapper than I thought

@forapper, the reasons why I enjoyed that may not have all been entirely musical.
― ∞, Friday, 21 March 2014 04:48 (ten years ago) link
4Minute song for some reason works a lot better for me t han last year's two singles. Opening verses w Jiyoon and Soyeon are so good.
2 things:
Crayon Pop opening for Gaga US shows is so great, they play with pop and performance like her but in a very different way.
BoA is now a creative director at SM. Her first decision should be to release a BoA album!

Swedish involvement with K-pop article
― curmudgeon, Friday, 21 March 2014 14:48 (ten years ago) link
K-pop is sometimes criticised as music by numbers – Kennel-produced number ones include (f)x’s Rum Pum Pum Pum and Wa$$up’s Nom Nom Nom
Given that those two songs don't sound particularly alike, that is an odd line to take. Also it's always difficult to work out who should take the most credit out of lists of writers/producers and the article does mention the Norwegians of DSign, but I'd say they have a bigger profile than the Swedes. And you can actually draw more of a direct link between them and Stargate, given that one of their main writers sang on Stargate's unsuccessful stuff under their own name.
― Iain Mew (if), Saturday, 22 March 2014 16:41 (ten years ago) link
4minute's new song is very 4minute, even though it's a BraveBros track like the last two. They've been killing it live, too.
Speaking of live, Year 7 Class 1 made it to TV and they are sooooo cute, I take back all the bad stuff I said about them before.

BTOB spotted filming for America's Next Top Model, which is set in Korea this cycle. 4minute probably would have been better, but maybe they were busy.
