[Review] Christina Perri- Head or Heart

1. Trust

I like the eerier background to this song and the overall creepiness of the song, I love how simple this song is, it's just a simple background with Perri singing and pulls me into the album. A good song to start the album with.
3.2/5

2. Burning Gold

This is the second single from the album, the first one being Human. I like the beat of this song, it's a strong song but I don't think their is anything that exciting about the song. Even the bridge which is nice doesn't really make this song that special.
3.6/5

[Review} Crayon Pop - UH- ee

1. 어이 (Uh-ee)

Crayon Pop are back. After the huge success of Bar Bar Bar they have had two singles since, the Christmas version of Bar Bar Bar entitled Lonely Christmas and a collaboration with Kim Jang Hoon. This is what I would call Crayon Pop's first proper single since they hit the roof. I loved Bar Bar Bar as well as many of their previous song. Dancing Queen is still one of my favourite songs. This song isn't good. Maybe it'll grow but ugh. It starts off sounding like a rip-off T-ara song. Then the electric beat kicks in but that's it. The song is kind of boring. I'm sure the music video will make the song seem better but until then I'm going to sit an listen to Swing.

3.4/5
 

[Review] Super Junior M - Swing

1. Swing (Korean Version)
This song as such a cool, jazzy vibe and I love it. I love when the chours speeds everything up and they heeyyy eyyyy is just great. My one problem with this song is the dance break which sounds to heavy against the rest of the song and lasts just a tad too long.

4.8/5

2. 飞翔 (Fly High)
This song is awesome. I love the pop-rock of this. It's a song that I'm going to dance around the house too. This song reminds me of the boy groups I used to listen to when I was younger. It's a total feel good song.

4.9/5

[Review] A-Pink - Pink Blossom

1. Sunday Morning

This song was created by Nickel and it's a sweeter slower song. The song doesn't pick up till the chorus which I like but the verses are boring and the song overall is just okay.

3.3/5

2. 미스터 츄 (Mr. Chu) (Stage Version)
Both versions of this song were created by Double Sidekick and SEION. This is a pop dance track. The song has a slow intro and a snapping beat. It picks up slightly towards the chorus. It's simple but I enjoy the simplicity because the song is done well. I'm finding I like most of Duble Sidekicks songs and hope we see more this year.

4.1/5

3. 크리스탈 (Crystal)
This is a mid-tempo dance number written by e.one. I like this song. It's nice and simple but it's done well and it's just a nice listen and a nice typical APink song. I really like the Cryyssstalll and the looove of myyyy liiiiife, lines.

4.3/5

4. 사랑동화 (Fairytale Love)
Here is the much needed ballad track. All albums seem to have one and thisone was written by Kim JiHwan. As a ballad it isn't terrible. I find it bearable, maybe even slightly enjoyable. It's not as bland as I was expecting. I really like the bridge with the guitar and the moment where the girls sing with no instruments. This ballad starts slow but it keeps building and by the end an okay song.

3.6/5

5. So Long

Written by MasterKey this song is a RnB styled song and it's okay. It doesn't wow me but it's pleasant enough. It's slightly boring and because of that I don't really have much to say on it.

3.2/5

6. 미스터 츄 (Mr Chu)

This version is different to the stage version as it's more pop-y. It has a different intro and a heavy beat and it's livelier so I do prefer this version.

4.6/5

 

Overall this album achieves 3.8/5

[Review] MBLAQ - Broken

1. Broken (Intro)

This intro is nice, a guess but as I rule I hate intro/outros. They generally make me really angry because they are bland and boring or I want them to be full songs. This is this latter. I love the smooth laid back feel of this intro and the singing is really relaxing while still be interesting an dramatic. I really like this but I jus wish it was longer.

[Review] F.Cuz - One Love

1. One Love

F.Cuz is back with a new digital single One Love. It's been 2 years since they last released a Korean track having spent those years promoting in Japan. Can I say I'm so glad they are back. I love F.Cuz so much, I will willingly admit I have a soft spot for them and I don't use this world often but they are extremely underrated. This song is an upbeat dance track that you would expect from F.Cuz. The singing is on par and it's just a great track. I know I'm going to be addicted to this song becauseit's just a feel good song.

5/5

[Review] A-Prince - Kiss Scene

1. Yes or No

This song was the group's third digital single single and was originally released January 15th. The song breaks away from the groups normal flower boy style and instead this has a dance, upbeat feeling that was popular among Korean boy group in 2012. This song sounds like it would of fit with songs that came out around that time. I think this song may get lost due to it's similarity to many other songs but overall I like it.

4.4/5

2. Kiss Scene

When I heard this song I wasn't impressed. This song is the A-Prince style I know. It's a smooth flower boy song. However unlike their debut Hello, which I loved, this song is flat. It's boring. It's not bad but their is nothing interesting about this song and I don't think it'll be a song I'll listen to often.

3.4/5

Overall Single = 3.9/5

[Review] Dempagumi.inc - Sakura Apparition

This single was released in 9 editions, two limited edition CD+DVD, 6 limited members versions and a normal CD version. From what I can tell the two limited edition CD + DVD contain the songs but have different videos while each member version has a different coupling song.

CD Tracklist

1. Sakura Apparition 

This single was relases on th 12th March. The song is okay but sounds like it's been speed up way too much. My first impression of this group isn't great. I'm struggling to find something positive to say about this song because overall it's a bit of a mess. For most of the song it's this blur which gives me a slight head ache and then there is a sudden moment of calmness. I see the potential in the song, it fun and upbeat but for me, the voices are too high and the speed it just too fast for me to properly enjoy, I think I would of preferred this song if it was just slowed down.

1.6/5

[Review] HKT48 - Sakura, Minnade Tabeta

 

 

 

1. Sakura, Minna de Tabeta (The Cherry Blossom We Ate Together)

The song is the 3rd single from this 48 group and as expected it's a upbeat dance track. I struggle sometimes with JPOP because I find that often they sound very similar. This song isn't really much different. It pretty much sounds like any other 48 song. However this song does have a nice break at around 2:47 where the beat drops and it goes quitter so we just get basic background music it then builds the beat back up only to fall again and introduce an acoustic guitar and then it build up again till will get the upeat sound back. It creates a nice break up in the song so that it doesn't get repetitive and sound too similar to other songs. It's a fun song but a pretty standard song with nothing that special about it.

3.4/5

[Review] 4minute - 4minute World

 

So guys 4minute is back with their 5th mini album. It was released on March 17th 2014. It contains 5 tracks and the album runs for 17 minutes

 

1. Wait A Minute

This lyrics were done by Lim Sang Hyuk, Astro Z, Ludwig Lindell. Music was done by Lim Sang Hyuk Astro Z, Daniel Caesar and it was arranged by Lim Sang Hyuk, Astro Z, Daniel Caesar, Ludwig Lindell. I can't say I recognize any of these people but I don't take an active role at looking at these things, but I'm hoping that will change. This song isn't my favourite and on first listen I really wasn't too impressed but after a few listen I'm totally jamming out to it. The song is fun and light-hearted, and it goes well with the rest of the album and as a first track it works as it feels like a very long fun intro. Although it's repetitive I still enjoy those repeated verses. The Lala verse that first starts at 0:41 sung by Gayoon and Sohyun is perfection. I just like how fun that verse is too listen to, same again with the verse after which I think is the chours. Hyuna's wait, wait, wait a minute followed by Jiyoon's yummy yummy, cook it down, cook it down (I was convinced the lyrics here were yummy yummy, cookie dough cookie dough and I was shocked that's not what being said) but it's just fun. My other favourite part is around the 2:00 minute mark when the background beat stop and they sing in harmony and then the beat is slowly brought back in, till it goes back to the Lala verse again and I can start dancing around again like a maniac. Overall this song is meant to be fun and it does everything it's meant.

4.4/5
