And Tiny-G show up on a remix of Belgian teenthrob Ian Thomas's "Love X 4," which might be an internationally significant indicator of the spread of the Korean Wave but still doesn't take us beyond the white fields of pleasantness. This thing could have been saved by painting some throat-rattling bosh into the chorus.

Tiny-G's "Ice Baby" left me cold earlier this year, too.

Tracks I like more: Delight's impassioned "Hate You!"; "Black Bounce" by the previously unknown to me GP Basic; "Oppa You Are Mine" by the somewhat better-known Tahiti (w/ a nongender-reversible video); "Hip Song" by Scarlet, whom I've only recently become hip to; and Zizo's fast-rapping "Spy." So the tierless dark is due for a new post from me.
