And that was how I was all day listening to HEY-YO-GEE-GEE!

Girls' Generation did this cray cray thing with their fifth album. dividing it into two as a promotional tool thereby doubling their demand and their views and profit. Well it is not fun if you think it like that but hey you sure got the attention you wanted! 

The first part of 'Lion Heart' album came out with along with Five songs namely, ‘Lion Heart’, ‘Party’, ‘Fire Alarm’, ‘Green Light’, ‘Paradise’ and ‘Bump it’. With a music video for 'Lion Heart'

 In the second day, Girls Generation brought out the remaining songs from their album namely, ‘You think’, ‘Talk Talk’, ‘Show Girls’, ‘One Afternoon’ and ‘Sign’, with the much anticipated music video for ‘You think.

If you thought Partey was addicted wait till you see what else Gee Gee gonna throw at yo!

The titular song ‘Lion Heart’ talks of the man as a lion like beast that continues to beat the heart of the ladies and is supposedly said to be teasing them. The lyrics are cute and easy to follow to making for an addictive track to listen to.

‘Fire Alarm’ has a new age undertone. The lyrics speak of a dangerous love blossoming amidst people trying to stop it. This song and the other coming songs have an addictive underflow in the chorus. This song is worth listening to again.

‘Green Light’ has a techno, peppy beat to it. The song asks the man to go ahead without hesitation. This daring go-for-it song is the best song for summer. The song has a chorus that will most probably linger long after the song ends.

‘Paradise’ has a magical surreal feel to it as the members confess to the man as their paradise. The lyrics are sweet and sensitive in the way as they ask for the man to be by their side and show a sense of dependency in him.

The sixth track ‘Bump it’ is much like a girl’s anthem with its lively beats and its attention gaining chorus. The song speaks of the eternal sensation of being in the spotlight and seeing everything in bright colours as a result of being in love. The member vocals add dimension and colour to the song.

 ‘You Think’ is upbeat and fun with the girls delivering their vocals in full strength. The lyrics show off an air of confidence and chic. The lyrics challenges the man in a daring manner and the beat makes this amazing song to dance to. The music is that addictive.

‘Talk Talk’ brings down the tempo and turns down to a more rock ballad like melody. A sudden shift in musicality but it is a welcomed acceptance as this song elevates their harmonious voices as they sing together. This song is worth listening to.

‘Show Girls’ was already released in Japanese and this time its Korean alternative is added into the album. This song gives a Broadway feel to it with its ever changing melody which adds drama and flair to it. The song reverts back to the high energised tempo and gives for an amusing listen.

‘One Afternoon’ once again brings down the high tempo and in return twists to a cheery light music effect as the members sing about missing the man from a past relationship and gathering the courage to see him. The piano accompaniment is beautiful and elevates the musicality of the song.

And the album comes to a close with a bang in ‘Sign’. ‘Sign’ has amazing jazz techno beat to it with a saxophone in the midst of them all. The song has a great beat to dance and stand for Girls generation with its stand out beats and harmonization.

The Music video for "Lion Heart" pops with a burst of eye candy as the members deck themselves in retro glamour. 

Putting aside the glaring mistake of misspelling ‘Girls’ in the MGM Logo, and with Mr.Lion Man himself in it, the girls enact a drama like scenario with three chapter separations. The three chapters show a progression of how the girls fall for the Lion man, their realization that they all fell for the same Lion man and ends with each girls taking her own sweet revenge on the Lion man. The music video is pure sweetness to see and is definitely worth watching thrice or possibly more, if that sudden leg spreading thingy didn't startle you the first time. Maybe they where trying to catch you off-guard or something or wanted to look sassy like, I dunno know......

After all the hype created for the album and the music videos, ‘You Think’ not only delivered but went all out. The music video for ‘You think’ contradicted in every way possible to ‘Lion Heart’. With synchronised dance moves (which they are known for) and bolder, edgy fashion statements, Gee Gee gave it all alright! but it felt underwhelming to me. I expected power packed performances and for Hyoyeon to SLAY! SLAY! SLAY!

But in all, I loved it! Wonder Girls and now GEE-GEE! Can anything get better?
