Hey! I’m way behind on the songs I wanted to review, but expect a review of Kim Jaejoong’s “One Kiss”, Infinite H’s “Fly High” album and an overview of songs by Primary & Matsushita Yuya. *Coming Soon*
Feel free to suggest some songs/releases for me to review! ^^
The day a lot of new.gen fans have waited for… and plenty of K-hiphop fans too! Block B returned and didn’t disappoint with their album: New Kids On The Block. I know THE MOST un-original name ever! XDDD But *luckily* it doesn’t reflect the quality of the songs in it.
New Kids On The Block [REVIEW]
I’m sure we all remember their standard K-pop song “Geudaero Meomchwola!” and the rap attack that was “Wanna B”. These are on the mini album as well as the smoothly mixed rap and vocal song previously released “Naman Ireongeoya”.
New additions: Halo, Gaseo Jeonhae, and U Hoo Hoo.
Halo » I waited for the comeback expecting Halo to have the MV *how wrong I was* XDDD Halo does not disappoint Hip-hop fans. If you’re a fan of Big Bang’s older songs and retro YG ent stuff I’d totally recommend Block B!!! And after listening to Halo you can’t help but join in: “HaLo HaLo HaLo!” XD
Gaseo Jeonhae » When it starts up you’ll probably thinking “WTH? O.o” but just let it play out, you won’t regret! Great rap verse flows mixed with a fun K-pop chorus makes a pretty great Summer song!!! ^^ Even though I’m sick I wanted to get up and dance to it XD The MV was pretty well matched too *kekeke~ well played promos ne!*
U Hoo Hoo » I know, I know… I cringed at the name too >.< But don’t judge a book and all that ne~ This song has a nice RnB style showcasing some beautiful vocals from the members. I know I found my self mimicing the “youuu~” part! XDDD The lyrics are really easy to get into ^^ such a good contrast to Gaseo Jeonhae.
Overall this was a great album! I really enjoyed it and hope other K-pop fans will too!!! ^^ Block B brought some awesome variety into the new.gen K-pop scene!
*BONUS MINI REVIEW* B2ST & SHINee!!!
B2ST - Mystery (80KIDZ Remix) » a bonus song on the “Bad Girl” JP single I believe… It’s pretty good actually. I usually don’t like remixes, but this is a good dance mix.
SHINee - Hello (JP ver.) » SHINee’s Japanese is great as usual. But I’m not crazy about the new lyrics… “Who knows? I know! You know!” Hm… I usually prefer the original language anyway! It’s just preference~ XD Quite a flawless transition though! *Ganbatte SHINee!* ^^
