   Might I just say that Lim Kim has possibly the best unique singing voice out there.

     Now now I know what you are thinking, that I probably say that about all the singers I am spoken about in this blogger site. But I can't help, if I like them all! I have a big heart.

       So when I heard that Limmy Kimmy (Lim Kim for short) was making a comeback this winter with a track titled “Stay ever”, I was excited. And then they (the Internet) told me the song features Verbal Jint.

           Cause you know who Verbal Jint is right, I mean, hands down I was all ready rooting for this song, because -

a) Limmy is already know for her breezy voice 
b) Verbal Jint is a master when it comes to anything with music on it. I salute that man, bruh!

    And so when the song finally dropped a couple of days ago, I was too excited that it took me some time to calm myself down to write this post. So here comes all the nitty-grutty stuff.

      The song speaks about the lingering feeling you have for your lady love or your gentleman love (well now I know why they don't use that term!). The time you spend with this so called significant other is so important but is also so limited in terms of time, so basically, Limmy here sings asking the man to stay with her for ever, and ever and ever and I just gotta stop and ask

             It is an overwhelming song which ask to prolong the feeling of sensation for ever and stay that way, ever. 

          The song is romantic in terms of its lyrics but the melody and the way the song is sung gives off a sad but realistic appeal. Limmy's vocals layered with Verbal Jints voice is just manna

           This song starts slow but builds to the chorus and has a haunting mood to it. Haunting not in the bad way but in a good way, like how you can't get the tune out of your head, kind of way.

and then the music video comes and I am like

    Seriously if anyone understood the story behind the music video, please hit me in the comments section below, because I am lost.
    
        I don't really know what the female is doing in the music video, is it a one night stand, or does she get paid to do this on a daily basis or is she the new female James Bond.??

        But some essence of the song is caught in glimpses where there is some touching going on, some interactions, some blossoming romance between the man and the woman. You know, it is building up to something.... and then she just leaves him to get a suitcase and leaves the hotel.

       Here phone calls and her sudden walking away act at the end is what is getting a lot of attention and more netizens are saying that there is some significance in the scene where she is shown eating a candy.

     I don't know what the music video symbolize but for the song I give it a thumbs up any day.

      
   

That brings us to the end of today's post. Let me know what you think in the comments section below!

                 CL's singles "Hello B******" dropped last night and I was so pumped listening to the music track, that I got addicted to the music in seconds.

Especially the Hello kitty, hella old part cracks me up. what? too soon? Sorry......

                         I was so impressed by the song that I went searching for the performance music video and if you don't mind I would like to take you through How I reacted to each section of the video.

                    When the music video started I was like . . .

                 All them girls sticking out their tongues like that, what are they trying to say here? Are they trying to make a statement? Someone explain that to me.

         And when the hook dropped so did CL and th moves she did, made me say . . . .

       Which I usually never say.. .. no sir...
and I though "finally, the music video is making sense" and then one of the girl starts slapping another girls bottom area. . . which made me cringe. . . like never before...
  I tried to hold it in till the end of the music video but when one of the girl did that ridiculously disgusting licking finger thing, I lost it....

           I thought I had seen it all, but never in my life was I ever prepared to see CL literally twerk it on the floor like that.

I just wasn't ready for this...
     
  For the first time, I felt like an outsider in a realm I had grown up in. . .  this was not the kind of Kpop I grew up with.

            I think CL is trying to make a statement here and I also know that this music video and track is supposedly meant to be the proper base for her American debut, but pay some respect to the land you were raised in, CL..

           Rappers I believe have an air about them, be it their appearance, the way they talk or even the way they perform, the have something in them that sets them apart from the rest of the group. Rappers get deep respect from me as I hold them in a pinnacle of music industry. And CL obviously has a stance of her own.

         I often thought of her as a tough unni, the you-can't-touch-this kind of vibe. But her floor thrusting move and the many sexual innuendo that many of the dancers show off give the music video a different feel. I guess she is trying to show female freedom and liberation but it caters more to the western world then the eastern world. Disconnected just got a whole new meaning.

            A college professor of mine once comment on this as a "Burning one's own roots"
           Once again, this is just my opinion.

There were some amazing comebacks, activities and debuts that took place during my finals that I was unable to fan-girl over =.= so I am going to go over all of them right now, hope you guys are ready for it!

     

    

Amber’s  solo debut mini album titled Beautiful consists of 5 songs - shake that brass, beautiful, heights, love run and just wanna- but before we go into the songs and how fabulous they are, let’s talk about the singer!

Amber is the first female singer (lead ‘rapper’) to get a solo album. heck, she beat SNSD to it! (Not that we are showing favouritism, but SNSD is Amber’s senior and technically they should have been the ones to…… you know.) but novelty can Amber bring to the table that the others before her haven’t. The album answers it all!

      SM is like the master of deception! You think that person is good only at rapping or only at dancing but once they open their mouth…….. Need I explain?

Amber’s album oozes with feminism and female power!  The namesake song ‘beautiful’ crisply puts out the much clichéd idea of ‘inner beauty’ and ‘be you’.

‘shake that brass’ is a fun song that shows Amber’s laid back attitude. The song just basically asks you to shake that thang- /wink wink/

‘love run’ (a personal favourite) is a song that best demonstrates Amber’s vocals. There is a sort of soothing yet breezy nature to her voice and as she sings this song, her vocals gently tread across. A song meant for easy listening and is soon to be a favourite.

‘heights’ is a party mix song that still pretty much sticks to showing of Amber’s singing voice.

‘Just wanna’ is a song done in collaboration with Eric Nam. This song is a little something for the western listeners. A simple song about love at first sight which is so cute coming from Amber and Eric. But I would have preferred if the male singer had a much baser voice as that would have elevated Amber’s subtle sweet voice and added more dimension to the song.

In short, Amber’s solo is a steal. Her voice is so breezy and so easy on the ears that you can listen to over and over without feeling tired.
