Music Rant!

Hey everyone :)

Today's post will be about music rant. Just to release some things off my mind. So far, I still love KPOP and English music. They're both pretty much conquer my playlist right now.

Not only I like the original songs but I also like the remixes and different renditions people covered of the songs.   Though, a few days ago, I found myself missing the old school KPOP such Super Junior in "U" and "Don't Don" and TVXQ "Rising Sun" and "O-Jung Bang Hap". Links are down below if you have not watch or heard of this songs. It's a MUST!

Super Junior - U
Super Junior - Don't Don
TVXQ - Rising Sun
TVXQ - O Jung Bang Hap

I especially like where U-Kiss and B2ST are going with their music direction. JD relic and co. produced U-Kiss' songs such as Tick Tack and Neverland really has that refreshing sound to it (undeniably, as well as JD's voice in the adlibs and some English lyrics).

Though, I'm not much of a hardcore fan of Kpop like the old days. I still do keep up to date with great songs such as NU'EST Hello, MFBTY Sweet Dreams, SISTAR19 Gone Not Around Any Longer, SNSD I got a boy and so much more.

But I've err.. simmered down a bit.

Though, widely popular artists such as Rihanna and Lil' Wayne, Justin Bieber, One Direction and The Wanted gets to be on Top 10 of Billboard, I prefer listening to the people who cover them like Alex Goot, Kurt Schneider, Pentatonix and Lunafly for more variety. Just to name a few.

Currently, I'm loving the remixes produced by Jun Areia @ AreiaCreations and DJ Masa @ Masamixes on youtube.

Okay this is a short post and rant ._. But this is pretty much it in my head currently [aside from studies :I ].
Till the next post :)

Music Review: Mine by Kim Jaejoong

Oh my Joongie! 

On the 16th January, Kim Jaejoong from JYJ released his first solo and mini-album called "I". But I won't be reviewing about the album, instead his song titled 'Mine' and his music video.

And I would like to say, *cough* THIS SONG ROCK MY SOCKS!  

I remembered back in the old days of Tri-angle/TVXQ where they did a rock song featuring BoA and TRAX, it was pretty much awesome.

I guess Jaejoong always had it in him, the punk rock side of him or visual kei. The fact that he's channeling this lost boy/dark angel/vampire characteristics in the MV is ah-mazing. I mean, it's every girl's dream (Yeah, you, fanfic writers, you).

The song and the lyrics are befitting to the MV concept, it's dark and rough. Displayed by pretty Jaejoong chained to the wall, running against of angry flying crows, getting barks from this dog (which came out of nowhere really O.o'') and baring his fangs.

Ookay, so not much rough things going on (Running against the birds was tough, I think. I mean, have you try??).

The music is amazing, the arrangement was superb. I especially love the part where the solo piano played so beautifully and then gradually joined in by the guitar and end of the song. It made me wish there was an acoustic version of him singing and the piano only.

The video on other hand, is beautifully captured buuuuuutttttttt I have one or two problems with it.

1) WHAT THE HECK IS ON HIS HEAD??? I don't even know D: Come on! Really? Dear Kim Jaejoong, you should question your stylist before the music video was released worldwide or at least, question whether THAT thing on your head made sense or not.

2) Blurry scenes. As a fan of this beautiful and talented man, I'd like to see his image super clearly and not in artistic or accidental blurs. It's Kim Jaejoong mudaskipas! Haha. But yeah, that's it .-. 

Other than, randomly placed and flying animals and fire bursting on Joongie's command (cheesy though). No problem here.  

RATING:
Song: 4/5
MV: 3.5/5       

Pwetty~
