Review: Trap by Henry 헨리



Genres: Pop, K-Pop, Urban Pop
Released: June 07, 2013
℗ 2013 SM Entertainment




Before I begin... I must admit... I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS SONG. It's definitely one of the best songs I've heard in awhile. Henry was apart of Super Junior-M but honestly, I'd never listened to them. When I first saw the little snippet of this song in the teaser, I'd already fallen in love. I must say that Henry is pretty damn amazing. His also the first solo artist that SM has debuted in THIRTEEN YEARS.
Song:
Well firstly, you must listen to this song. Like, now. The piano at the beginning is so extremely wonderful. The intro probably would've been enough for me. I know the whole song is simple chords but with Henry's vocals, Trap sounds spectacular. I also loved the bold drum beats and the strings throughout the song. Kyuhyun and Taemin sounded beautiful as always. I don't think I can gush about this song enough.
Lyrics:
The title of the song basically sums up the song. In this day and age, the trap has obviously got to do with love. The chorus has got the be my favourite part.You can read the translation here.
Summary:
Please, just try it out. I don't care if you don't like Pop or K-Pop or even if you just hate music. You'll love it. Just trust me with this one. Absolutely perfect. I know this wasn't a very detailed review compared to some of my others but if I made it any longer, I'd just become repetitive.

Book Disappointment Of April 2013!



The Elite (The Selection, #2)


Thirty-five girls came to the palace to compete in the Selection. All but six have been sent home. And only one will get to marry Prince Maxon and be crowned princess of Illea.
America still isn’t sure where her heart lies. When she’s with Maxon, she’s swept up in their new and breathless romance, and can’t dream of being with anyone else. But whenever she sees Aspen standing guard around the palace, and is overcome with memories of the life they planned to share. With the group narrowed down to the Elite, the other girls are even more determined to win Maxon over—and time is running out for America to decide.
Just when America is sure she’s made her choice, a devastating loss makes her question everything again. And while she’s struggling to imagine her future, the violent rebels that are determined to overthrow the monarchy are growing stronger and their plans could destroy her chance at any kind of happy ending.


What can I say? I give this book 3.5 STARS but that's me being extremely generous. I absolutely loved the first book and did a review a while back. This wasn't necessarily a bad book, just a very big disappointment. The story was good, it was well written, it was fast paced, everything was fine except for one thing. The most important thing. I hated America's attitude so much. If anyone has watched Boys Over Flowers, I hate America for the same reasons I hated Jandi. The most amazing guy loves you and don't treat him well?! He gives you everything and you can't even be respectful?! It's such an easy and obvious choice I see no point of the love triangle. Oh I don't know if I want Maxon or Aspen. Oh I want to change the world but I'm just going to get eliminated instead of marrying Prince Maxon and changing it for real. I just don't see her deal. It took the whole book for her to realize she was wrong. Jeez, took you long enough. If she ends up with Maxon in the next book, alright, a good series and I recommend it but if not, I'm taking The Selection out of my favourite books of all time. I don't want to recommend the first book if the rest is bad. Sorry for ranting but overall the book wasn't that bad. I guess I did feel a bit sorry for America but I can't help but love Maxon. Read this series if you have time but there are definitely better books you can read for now.
