Kpop Highlights #8 (Sistar, Song Ji-Eun, 2NE1)

Sistar - I Swear


It has a very melodious and sweet-sounding tone, which is very girly but totally fits in with Sistar's concept. It isn't exactly exhilarating but has certain restorative elements which lifts your spirit. This is clearly highlighted within the music video as well ever see is Sistar having fun and doing things they enjoy. On another note, I found the bit where they were shopping in the supermarket really cliched because that's one of the most stereotypical places Asians tend to think of whenever America is mentioned (I'm guessing here based on experience). I mean, they go abroad to film the music video in North America (not exactly sure where) and one of the main features is a supermarket. I find this quite funny.


Sistar - Touch My Body


This was out before I Swear and to sum it up, I love it! Absolutely love this song and I always will. The concept as usual is sexy and I think it really fits in with their image and song. It doesn't look forced or unnatural at all. In fact, their sexy concept is actually so subtly portrayed that you get used to it very quickly and don't tend to make such a big deal out of it. The music itself has a really exciting and refreshing feel, as well as being slightly brassy and loud. I now feel like I can't wait for summer to come.

FYI: the weather in London right now is a bit retarded (yes, it has even come to the stage of me using that word). Seriously, it's driving me insane. One second it's all sunshine with highs of 18C and the next second it's icy cold. I sometimes think...no I officially declare that the weather here is bipolar.


Song Ji-Eun - 25


I recognise the girl from Secret's Yoo Hoo. I believe this mv is meant to have a sexy concept (just how many times have I said sexy in this post, already?) but this isn't really portrayed. However, I really enjoy the song. Like Touch My Body, it's uplifting and addictive. Plus you have to see the dance practice, which by the way has significantly more views on YouTube than the mv itself. I know very few women who can dance that confidently in heels.



2NE1 - I Love You


This is actually an old song if you were to compare it to other songs in my highlights, but I had to include it because it has immediately become one of my favourite kpop of all time. Once you start listening to it, you can't get the song out of your head - it's very soft and melodious at times and yet still has elements of electric.
