Keep Nagging At Your Mom When You're Little (Orange Caramel/After School: Artists Of The Year, 2014)
Lizzy's advice on how to acquire the voice she uses for Orange Caramel and for trot (but not for After School):
I'm even more behind than usual (mid-year list to come, once again w/ Lizzy). I keep promising research on After School, never get there. So just several adjectives for you:
After School, who were kinda all over in their early years, have settled into smooth vocals, effortlessly poignant, when required, but holding rough rhythms under their hood. One of the few K-pop groups to sound as good in Japanese as Korean. Meanwhile, Orange Caramel's** rampaging cuteness conquers all, style atop style. No social insights from me. Cuteness doesn't play in North America, probably for good reason, but that doesn't mean we're living our lives better than South Koreans are living theirs.
After School "Triangle"
Orange Caramel "Catallena"

**Orange Caramel is a subunit, consisting of three members of After School: Nana, Raina, and Lizzy.

I still haven't posted my albums list for 2014, either
Well, 'cause I missed it in June. It became a June tradition in 2010, I mean, 2011, when my Artist Of The Year for 2010 was E.via and I was going to post in January but January was busy, in February I went East because my dad was dying, didn't get back till April, anyway, post was in June, so this became a June tradition, which of course made it a July 1, 12:00 AM deadline, which I managed to miss two years ago, also.
JYP parties like it's 1987

Someone in the Youtube comments says "Ooh it sounds like 80s freestyle which is my fav genre of music, next to Kpop ofc". Whether it really is freestyle I'll leave to you.

Anywa, I'm tempted to say there are freestyle influences in some of the other tracks, like Candle and Loved. John Doe at least has a freestyle curlicue at the beginning and the end.
