koganbotSong of the week is Lim Chang Jung's "Open The Door," a seemingly square, florid, impassioned trot that goes hilariously LMFAO in the chorus. The song's actual history runs opposite: was originally, last year, a forgettable would-be int'l-style dance track that I'd heard but forgotten by the Wonder Boyz (incl. LMFAO squiggles but w/out the zest we get when we Open The Door). So what's new this time are the trot beats, which with the hamming bring the song to immediate life. The squiggly LMFAO parade-streamer synths are the topper that they couldn't manage to be in the first version.
"Open The Door," by the way, makes this my third straight K-pop post to feature a Shinsadong Tiger track. He seemed to be having an off-year until all of a sudden he's not.
I'm late on it, but I highly recommend GI's "Gi," extending GI's tradition of ridiculous song titles. (Very first single was called "Beatles" despite having neither lyrics nor sound that refer to our lovable moptops (other than, I suppose, by having a beat). Band's name stands for Global Icon, and the Beatles are a global icon, if that's a connection.)
Also noted, Tren-D's "Candy Boy," in an unabashed Italodisco style. I especially like the instrumental B-side:
(I've included the Austral-Romanian tag because, while "Open The Door" isn't quite on the continuum that I've imagined, it's a second-cousin to the style.)

Date: 2013-11-11 11:41 am (UTC)But this is probably old news now because allkpop have published old nude photos of Ailee and it's being alleged that an allkpop executive who is Ailee's ex leaked the photos (they've been circulating for a while). Ailee's label have released a statement claiming that she had been tricked into taking the photos as part of a modelling recruitment scam. They do, however, say that her ex-boyfriend saw the photos and that he works for allkpop. Meanwhile Dispatch have published a transcript of a phone call with someone offering them the photos, which they turned down. The caller says that he is her ex and got the photos directly from her.
