Younha - "Because of You" & "He Wasn't"

All I can say is "Oh WOW!!!!!"

My favorite Korean singer doing a cover of my favorite favorite song by my favorite North American singer, and Im not talking about Kelly Clarkston. Although Kelly is amazingly talented and I enjoy her songs, she has nothing on Avril Lavigne!

This is an awesome cover of both of these songs and whats so great is the difference between the styles of each song. I love it when she jumps up from the piano at the transition from the calmer "Because of You" to the more energetic "He Wasn't".

I never knew Younha did covers of a bunch of popular English songs. I wish they would make a cd out them because they are really good. I found Kelly Clarkston, Alicia Keys, Avril Lavigne, and Leanne Rhimes covers. All of them were surprisingly excellent! Amazing considering its her third language. Yea she may not have the vocal range or prowess of Alica or Leanne, but its her 3rd language!!! Id like to see any of these other artist sing songs in Korean and Japanese, then we can compare..lol

Anyways check it out, its pretty impressive (big understatement)

Anyband - "Talk Play Love" & "Promise U"

Its Saturday and Im at work. I actually work 28 straight days so every day is a Monday until your last day. Well, for some reason I remembered this song today, and I really wanted to hear it again. I know its a commercial and a "made up" band by Samsung but you really have to hand it to the marketing team because they did an awesome job.

Anyways I thought I'd share this with everyone, because I think its a cool song with a cool video concept. I really like when Korean artist rap in English, I think it sounds really cool. I also really like the second song "Promis U" where all three stars take turns singing the ballad, again sounds amazing.

Younha - 고백하기 좋은 날 (The Perfect Day to Say I Love You)

This is my first review of Korean Music.
Over my last three trips to Korea, I have been fascinated with Korean music. I have purchased several albums each trip to bring back with me.

The reason Younha is my first review is because she is my favorite artist. I discovered her because the sales clerk at the airport suggested this album. I bought it and I started listening to it. To this day I can not stop listening to it. It is perhaps one of my favorite albums ever!

Most of the lyrics are in Korean (I only know a very limited amount of Korean, and don't understand any of the songs). However, I am a firm believer that music is an international language and I think this album is an excellent example.

The music is very unique and hard to describe. It is on the border line of the typical Kpop sound, however if anything I would have to say more of a mature sound. Not the typical "bubble-gum pop" sound.

Younha is a very talented artist with an unbelievable voice. Combined with upbeat music and and great rythym in the lyrics. For all I know the songs could be about anything, however the lyrics flow smoothly and with great transitions between the songs.

This album has so many great songs. I liked them all. I especially enjoyed:
I Cry (꼬마)
Fly
