Review: Kill Bill by Brown Eyed Girls

Genres: K-Pop, Pop, R&B, Dance-Pop
Released: 29 July 2013
Members: JeA, Miryo, Narsha, Ga-In
Nega Network

My blog has been crazy busy with a crapload of posts this month. I'm sorry but here's another one! I'll try to calm down a bit in the future but I just had to get this review up. Brown Eyed Girls is a much respected band that I love too. Even though I'm not a major fan, I do really appreciate their work. If you've never heard of them, Brown Eyed Girls is the band that Ga-In is apart of. Ga-In was the chick in Gentleman by PSY. The other day, one of my most awesome friends asked me if I'd heard their new song. That day, I went home, listened to it and loved it!
Song:
The beginning is like WOW! I swear, you have to listen to it for yourself because I don't even know what to call it. It's like a whistle mixed with synths. The same friend I mentioned above also said that she liked Brown Eyed Girls because they can actually sing. I completely agree. Even though they all look super good and can dance well, they don't rely on it because they can already sing amazingly. One of my favourite elements in the song is the rapping near the end. I could replay that part a million times.
Lyrics:
I've seen people say that the lyrics correspond to the actual movie! I can't be sure because I haven't watched it but I can be sure that it's not your usual pop song. Lyrics can be found here. My favourite part would translate to:
"Run, run away till you run out of breath
Everything is the price of what you did to me
Look at yourself,
you feel like going crazy, right?"Summary:
This song is addictive. I could listen to this non-stop because that's how much I loved it. I definitely recommend it. Check out the music video as well because it has a really cool story line. It'll only take 7 minutes. If that's too much just listen to the song! It's spectacularly fabulous.

Review: Me & My Girls by Fifth Harmony

Genres: Pop, Electronic Dance Music, R&B
Released: 16th July 2013
Members: Lauren Jauregui, Camila Cabello, Dinah Jane Hansen, Normani Hamilton, Ally Brooke Hernandez Epic Records

Fifth Harmony were the second runners up in the US version of X Factor. Their more popular song, released awhile ago is called Miss Movin' On. However, I really like this song too. Both songs are really fun and happy. I'm glad different X Factors all over the world have brought out so many good singers and artists. Sometimes I do still feel as though these winners don't have to work as hard to get famous, but I do admit they are talented.
Song:
I love all five of the girl's voices. Though they aren't extremely unique, at least they aren't bad. This song has an almost Hannah-Montana-esque beat to it. It's super crazy uplifting and fun. After all, the song is about being at a party so I couldn't expect any less. I really loved it every time the song broke into a Electronic Dance Music instrumental. It added another layer to the boring parts.
Lyrics:
Normally, I'd hate lyrics like these but for some reason, I don't mind them. I mean they are kind of stupid and cheesy but I have to say, they're realistic. They target younger, teen listeners but they've definitely done a good job of it. Can totally relate:
"My voice is gone, got my favorite PJ's on

Times like this don't always come along"
Summary:
Not the best song, not even mind-blowing but it was good. Definitely a song that I will listen to often. I just don't love it as much as everything else. Do check it out though, you never know until you try it.

Review-A-Thon: Female President 여자대통령 by Girl's Day

Genres: K-Pop, Dance, Pop
Released: 24 June 2013
Members: Sojin, Minah, Hyeri, Yura
Dream Tea Entertainment

Girl's Day have come back again! I didn't expect a new release so soon after their last release Expectation. Either way, I'm not going to complain because I absolutely love their new single. Female President. It's a part of the repacked Expectation album. The music video is really racy with strip teases and the lot but there isn't actually anything explicit. Despite the super sexual video, the song is actually really catchy.
Song:
The song begins with a nice array of synths. It's the perfect beginning. Though some say it's really similar to Little Mix's Wings, I really don't care because I like the way it sounds. The drums and guitar strums in the background are the perfect base the the beautiful vocals. My absolute favourite in this particular song is Minah's extremely powerful voice. In some of Girl's Day's past songs, Minah's voice seemed to forced and strained. Sojin's voice which I can't describe as anything other than 'whispery' was wonderful as well. Lots of the song was 'chant-like' which made Hyeri and Yura's rapping fit in effortlessly.
Lyrics:
I don't know if I like the song or the lyrics more. They were both so good. The lyrics express the fact that sometimes the girl has got to make the first move. I think this is a really great message to be sending. My favourite lines translate to:
"You go first and say you love him,
Now is the time, you can start first."
Summary:
Definitely worth the time. Again, the music video is really hot but if you get offended by anything sexual, maybe just listen to the song without the video. I really love this song though. One of my favourite in a long time. Super powerful vocals, super catchy tune, super meaningful lyrics, super super super! Give it a go!
