Wonder Girls: The Wonder Years

Since the Wonder Girls are growing some recognition in America

(thanks to the Jonas Brothers)

I figured now is as good a time as ever, to review their first "full-length" album.

Currently they are touring around North America with the Jonas Brothers.

I'm not a fan of the Jonases,

but their preteen crowd is probably the most receptible to a more "cute" girl band.

Wonder Girls Hwaiting!

Title: The Wonder Years
Artist(s): The Wonder Girls

Genre: Pop

Released: September 13, 2007

Language: Korean

Review:

This album contains many hits, from "Tell Me", to "Irony". I prefer the electric "Headache" or pop-y "이 바보" finding them stuck in my head more than anything else. Though there are ballads, they aren't the main focus. The whole album has a bit of a "club" feeling. The strong off-beats give a very hiphop pop feel (heard particularly in "Move").

Has a fun feel. I'd recommend it.

Alex - My Vintage Romance

I bought this CD for my mother (as a Mother's Day gift)

as she loved Alex in WGM.

it wasn't just for me to listen to...kinda
I ordered it from YesAsia, which was prompt,

and it arrived in good condition.Crazy Fact:
알렉스 used to be a sushi chef from Vancouver, before he debuted in Korea.

Title: My Vintage Romance
Artist: Alex Chu

Genre: Ballad/Jazz
Released: June 13, 2008

Language: Korean

Review:
Ah... Ever since I heard him sing on, "We Got Married" I've been a fan of Alex. This album is a great one, his songs just melt together. Smooth, is how I would describe this CD. It describes the songs and his voice perfectly. It's mainly laid-back (lounge-y?), with it's fair share of ballad-esque stuff. Though there is the odd rap song mixed in. Some of the more mellow ones might mush a bit in your brain, but it's good stuff.

Highly recommended.

Here is the MV for 사랑하오 (I Love You)
Follow it to the end, it has an interesting switch.


(I have a few more CD's from this order, so look forward to it :)

Pretty 멋있다(cool), although mostly all dancing. But what can you do with a 13 person boy-band really?

Interesting note if I change that just a little to this 맛있다 it becomes delicious...from maw...to ma....
