Kpop: Girl's Day - Something











OK, lets kick off 2014 with Something really nice! Yeah, I am soo funny, as that is the name of the much anticipated new single from Girl's Day. And they do deliver. It may be as good as last year's big hit Expectation and I think it is better than Female President (also of 2013). To continue my hilarious humor, it may be that it misses 'something' extra but visually and soundscape wise it is perfect. Update: After listening to it 20+ times I can say that it seems to be holding up, so it is a definite thumbs up. ;-)

Kpop: Girl's Day - Female President (여자대통령)

If you didn't know it, Korea elected their first female president ever last December, Park Geun-hye (which btw I had no problems missing as I happened to be in Seoul at that time...). Girl's Day haven't missed it anyways, as their new song "Female President" obviously takes its cue from this to advance female empowerment in relations. Go grllls, they say! From the video, which is not bad at all, well its quite nice actually, one could make a lot of ironic observations about double messages, but hey, its kpop we are talking about. I would rather compare it to their song from earlier this year, Expect, which was my favorite song the first quarter of 2013. The video of F.P. does a good job to reach Expects standards, but Expects lyrics and their braces dance is really on another level (again: I loooove you LOEN for providing lyrics to your videos!). It isn't that F.P. is bad, because it isn't, its just that Expect is a classic. F.P. is clearly worth watching a number of times, but I don't honestly don't think it will grace my Samsung S4 playlists that much. Still, nicely done again, Girl's Day!
