CalmBeforeTheStorm (LimKim/SanE) #kweek

I'm sorry for not being active these days, Loolooboos! . . .  (blame kpop industry!:P) JK!

I've noticed that you guys are coming back on the blog for some fresh reviews/posts...

 So I've decided to break the silence by sharing few ( and by few I mean two) cool songs ... because of reasons...

But beware - The storm is coming! (comebacks: BTS, UNIQ, BigBang(maybe)... Promising teasers!)

A n y w a y

First song that caught my attention this week is this colorful and slightly weird art work.

This girl is an amazing vocalist. She has unique voice color, calm but mysterious aura, and lastly, very distinctive... kinda uncommon music style -that not many could pull off. Jazz meets pop feels.

MV is dope... Like from the set, props, costumes, to the lighting, editing...even her acting/expression matches well with the concept of the song.

 Pastels, neon, black.... nicely arranged. 

Lim Kim - a cat that says 'Awoo' :)

The other song has a little bit diff vibe from the previous one, but surprisingly it has a similar MV concept.

San E and Yerin (15&) released a duet... a collab song... I love both of them.. He is a funny guy - a 'rap genius', and she is one of my fav kpop female vocals (this song doesn't do the justice to her talent tho).

Anyway, it's a nice, springy song, with the light-springy lyrics/theme.

Colors and balloons...you know I love those... Cute little video... Insta inspired.

Interestingly, the title is cat sound inspired - 'MeYou'... Lim Kim's mv is also cat themed... Cats day today!

Enjoy life, Loolooboos!

We rise by lifting others!

Hopeless love - been there, done that?! #kweek

Jimin is one of the vocals in JYP's duo(group) 15&. Both, Jimin and Yerin are incredibly talented singers, despite their young age. They are just born to sing and perform... So, that was the first thing that I have noticed after I've watched the mv - her voice is even more polished and more powerful now. And they've(producers) chosen the interesting genre for her first solo song... Sad, emotional, sorrowful melody... and lyrics too - I guess, they wanted to show how much she's improved... to show/justified why was she the one who was given the opportunity to release a solo song. So, yeah... I love her voice, and the whole story line and the mood of the song.

Onto the MV. Pretty gloomy, foggy and kinda heavy feel - the kind of a emotion that her character is going through. At the end she is finally letting it go (the ribbon flying in the wind)... Hopeless love is hopeless. 
You're probably wondering: Who is that cute boy (who is living in blissful ignorance of jimin being in love with him) from the video? That's UNIQ's Seungyeon!!! Long time no see... Aigoooo, that smile!!! I give one more point for the producers! And his hairstyle (my favorite lately).... Kyah...He is so so so cute. Have no idea who the other girl is... Balloons, I looooove balloons!! At the very end - Feelings turned off...

I'm (again) all about that clothes used in the video. I want em all (even Seungyeon's)... EXCEPT those white heals - looking too damn chunky with that floral dress.... 

The music - again, I'm getting the heavy feels...  piano mixed with that not sure what it is - drums... definitely some kind of a percussion instruments samples... idk... anyway... it makes me feel kinda down...kinda 'i'm just gonna stare blankly at that wall and think about how short life is....". It's sounds almost like those army marching drums.... when they are going to war... I hate wars... That's why I almost dislike that part...
But altogether - I really like the song. Good start, Jimin. Woot, Woot!

And how beautiful is her first solo performance! She Slayed It! Props for the stage effects! The dress! 

Enjoy life, Loolooboos!

TopOfKpop2014 - Cover

**************

TopOfKpop2014

Category: Cover

                                ***************

Jedna nesvakidašnja kategorija. Jedna nesvakidašnja lista.

Dobrodošli u moj mozak. Mesto - čiji poredak samo meni ima smisla :)

tjaaah!

Nakon frizura, kolaboracija, plesa/koreografija(Deo1-muške; Deo2-ženske grupe), zašto da se ne prisetimo i zanimljivih (dobro, daaa... meni omiljenih) obrada, 

koje, u stvari, nisu kpop... ali, u stvari, jesu... jer

ih izvode predstavnici istog... tako da... 1+1... gwiyomi (sve je to deo kpop-a)

Npr.:

1. AILEE - Aquarela do Brasil

Ono kada Ailee zvuči kao domaćin događaja... A onda ono kada se nađe neko da potcenjuje kpop i kpop izvođače... Šetaj, bre!

I na španskom zvuči isto - Donde Voy

2. ERIC NAM x JIMIN (15&) - Lost Stars

Koju izvedbu slušam ćešće/radije? Original, ili ovu? Pogađajte...

3. MOON (RoyalPirates) - My Valentine

Ovde, ipak, slušam obe verzije... Jer volim. Ako niste znali - Moon je dreamy! 

4. HYORIN x SOYOU (Sistar) - Hurt

Nema ko nije pevao ovu pesmu.... Ali one! - Ako im dozvolite, probudiće dve emocije u vama - tugu i divljenje...

5. EXO - Sabor a Mi

Smatrajte me pre-subjektivnom, aj dont iven ker... Sama činjenica da su se upustili u pevanje na španskom je za pohvalu, a tek to što su uspeli da prenesu i emociju pesme (složićete se, ovo često izostane kada se peva na jeziku koji vam nije maternji...probajte, videćete...)clapclapclap...... Šta hoću da kažem? (Suho!) I to, a i... Bravo!

(p.s. Baek, ipak najubedljiviji...)

6. JAY PARK - When A Man Loves A Woman

:/ Ej jutjube, nisi fer... ja baš hoću ovaj video da postavim. Od tri segmenta obrade... hmmm... Meni su sva tri divna... hhh! Ako ste odgledali vid, pozovite sada nekog da vam pomogne da podignete tu vilicu sa poda! 

 'Immortal Song' 

7. SUNGGYU(Infinite), TAEMIN(Shinee), JONGHYUN(CNblue) - The Girl from Ipanema

Evo još jedna sa brazilskog Music Bank-a... Kakav trio? (retoričko pitanje) Amejzing trio!!! Da nije njih, (najverovatnije) nikad ne bih čula ovu pesmu... Toliko! ThePerksOfKpop

8. HA:TFELT x 15& - That XX

Na maternjem (im)! Učinila da zaboravim GD-ijevu originalnu verziju(skoro)... Jer... GirlsPerspective... YeEun, Jimin, Yerin 

'Singer Game'

9. JOOYOUNG - Call You Mine

Ja sam fan od momenta 'call you 넌 내꺼'...

10. ROY KIM - The Greatest Bastard

Svaka pesma koju obradi zvuči kao da je njegova, jer je svojim stilom pevanja (i emocijom) učini drugačijom od originala...  Young Man - Old soul!

+

bonus! gotta support them... newbies!

11. UNIQ - Airplanes

Koliko vas će sada probati da (pro)izvede bar jedan beatbox zvuk? .... Kkkkk! No! Prepustite to profesionalcima... 

12. NO MERCY Show

SHOWNU - prva ep - All of me - aj min, dajte čoveku da debituje! 
KIHYUN - druga ep - Hyeya(YSiFueraElla)- obe pesme su divne, i Kihyun-ova interpretacija je - WOW, just WOW!

Uživajte u životu, Loolooboos!
Jedan osmeh?!
E tako...
