Mandopop: JPM

JPM consists of LilJay, Prince, and Modi from Taiwan (a reshuffle from Lollipop) and I actually finds their older "That's not red snow" a little better than "365 Days" as the later has a little to slow buildup for my taste.

• JPM - That's not red snow (那不是雪中紅)
• JPM - 365 Days (365天)
• JPM - Moonwalk (月球漫步)
• JPM - Singing 4 Love

Kpop: ALi (알리)

Cho Yong Jin, known as ALi, is a singer-songwriter who is known from a Idol program in Korea, and for her voice, reminds me several strong emotional voices I have heard before and deserves a lot of respect, more so after the Na Young song. A much written about rape case was to basis of the song and she was first critized for writing so openly about it so that in the end she felt she needed to disclose that she herself had been raped. Like in many countries, media and popular opinion still has a ways to go in its discription and condomenation of rape in Korea, which makes her stand all the more important and worth praising.

• ALi - Eraser (지우개)
• ALi - I'll be damned (뭐 이런게 다있어)
• ALi ft Beast JunHyung - Don't act countrified (촌스럽게 굴지마)
• ALi - 365 Days (365일, there are more songs afterwards too)
• ALi - 불후의 명곡.왕중왕.알리 (Just to show how talented she is)
• ALi - Na Young
