What the hell was this?
4 minute is back! They teamed up with Brave Sound to produce a pop single with a hint of jazz. "Whatcha Doing Today," is a good song, but it doesn't leave me with the same affect as their classic hit "Is It Poppin." The video is fun and it similar to the crazy style Psy uses in his videos. I really like each of the girls' look in the video and of course Hyuna stands out as she always does.
Sam Smith's popularity is slowly growing. I remember reading an article naming Sam Smith the "next Adele" because he holds potential to cross over to the American charts much like Adele did. After winning the Critics Choice Award at the Brit Award show this year people are taking notice to him. I'm not surprised by the success and recognition Sam Smith is receiving. Last month he released a single called "Money on My Mind," from his debut album In The Lonely Hour.
When I began listening to K-Pop, 2ne1 was my favorite girl group. I eventually started liking other groups as well. One group that I stumbled upon was Brown Eyed Girls. I really started listening to them after Psy's video "Gentleman" because Ga-in, one of the members, appeared in the video. One song that I'm still loving from them is "Abracadabra." I have been eagerly waiting for their comeback single after listening to their older music. "Recipe" is their newest single, and Miryo's rapping in the song is amazing! Her voice is like no other. The beat to the song is very smooth and sounds similar to a 70s disco hit with a modern twist. After reading the English lyrics to the song, I think the song is about a woman pleasing a man. Think of it as a Destiny's Child "Cater 2 You" type of song. I also believe the song is about allowing a man to open up more and the only way of doing this is by showing love and catering to him. I posted a video with the English lyrics to see your take of the song's meaning.
