Swings featuring Jay Park Fallin

I always thought that rap has to be fast paced. Swings rap sounds slower than usual but the impact feels intense that has that scary intimidating vibe. I feel the tempo was intentional, I've check the translation and the meaning was deep. Sometimes when raps goes too fast, it's hard to catch the words. Swing was like threatening you to listen every word properly.

The intro completely grab my attention. The sound of electric guitar isn't common in Kpop so I was pleasantly surprise. Jay's part was my pick for the highlight. I've been a fan of Jay's RnB vocals and it couldn't be more perfect than this. Every single line was perfect. If I had to tweak anything, perhaps the secondary part had better enunciation. I wanted to know what is he singing. It does sound like "Nobody,nobody"

Swing is not my favorite BNM artiste however, this does make me more interested in learning more on his music.

I'm Loving Baechigi 뜨래요

When female idols do retro, the public can't help but to compare with Wonder Girls. After all, Wonder Girls did make it big with retro concepts.

Thanks to my parents, I am very familiar with retro genre. I'm not a big fan but what's not to love good ole retro?

BaeChigi's Ddeuraeyo is a fun retro concept. I think the featured singer, Angli of 3B is amazing. He made the song fun and his voice is addicting to listen. This song needs him, I can't imagine another vocalist to do this song.

I love the music, it has all the essence of retro. If this song was released back in the disco em, it won't feel out of place. The only modern element of the song is the rap parts.

Hip hop is a great genre, it mash well with so many other genre.

I'm Loving Lee Michelle Without You

Although Kpop is known for having western influence, I don't feel Kpop is similar to western at all. I believe that Kpop is a genre that can stand alone.

As I listen to Lee Michelle's Without You, I guess you can't deny this song has that strong RnB influence. The song has a familiar feel that is easy on the ears.

I'm glad kpop has the chance to have Lee Michelle, she's an amazing vocalist that deserve attention despite color.

She may have similar background with Insooni & Yoon Mirae. I hope Lee Michelle can stand proud without their shadows.

I hope to hear more from Lee Michele.

Koreamie~!
