Block B (블락비) Very Good mini album

{The Mischievous Dazzling Stars}


Please support them by watching the music video. They are so close to winning the music shows. 
This is the only tremendous gift that BBCs can give to Block B.


Feel the urge to post this, despite the deadline for the 1st chapter of the novel project.
BLOCK B! The block buster is back in a new entertainment. (I'm glad they are out)
Seriously welcome to the hallyu world again. It has been a year I haven't seen them on the stage and it is totally stunning.
Their charisma on the stage since they debuted is still there.

They bring back the mischievous characters inside their soul. Especially expressing it through a song 'VERY GOOD'. Telling that they are the king, and like the song, that they are very very good.
The beats are killing it. The music video is also really good and creative. The idea of making Park Kyung's head is inside the plate is hilarious. But but the part when there is a girl with a big... is a no.
Besides that nothing is a pooper. They enjoyed every single bit of their parts in the video, everthing is cool.
If I introduce the title song, the main theme is that you can point out a ‘ROCK’ sound at the beginning, and then an electric synthesizer sound is emphasized in the chorus. You might be able to hear and feel the largeness of the song in its entirety, but it has a lot of very diverse parts to it. So honestly, I have the greed of wanting to have everyone listen to each detail.

The song is totally unexpected, because earlier before they released the song 'VERY GOOD', they went on a deep song called 'Be The Light (빛이 뒤어죠)', which still have the hip hop vibe, but wrapping it with a soothing voice. Meet Taeil the man.

For 'Be The Light', I fell in love at the first time I heard it. IT IS SO BEAUTIFUL.
I am more surprised that Zico, the leader himself, made the song. This song has the piano playing at the front, and it is just so not Zico. But when the beat comes in, it sounds like him.
I knew he's talented, and he made slow songs too.. Like 'Movie's Over' but this time it has a different sense and fortunately I love it soooo deeeeeep.




The lyrics itself says that we are the light. Means BBCs (name for the fans) are the light. You know, they woke up from the controversies and learnt a lot. This song is made for the BBCs who are there and give them support.

"Be the light, shine on my black and hidden heart. Melt me from being frozen
So that I’ll be so dazzling, that no one else can look at me." cr 

I am in love. This song is so wonderful.
What is sad is... People don't really catch this song. They don't give it a try to listen. Please, like just once it won't kill you. Maybe I look so pathetic, but they work so hard. Can you please give it a try?

Those are not the only songs that are good. They released a mini album, which consist only 4 songs in total (instrumental is not included).

Park Kyung, another rapper from the group, also have song which is sung by him and it is featuring my favorite indie K-pop group 'Urban Zakapa'. It is none other than the only woman in the group, Jo Hyuna, who is known to have an impressing voice.

The song 'When, Where, What, How (언제 어디서 무엇을 어떻게)' kinda have the jazzy feel to it, and the lyrics are so good! Started with Park Kyung's low voice, it attracts us in. And then the beat goes in. Jo Hyuna's voice is a thumbs up for me.

Last track called 'Nice Day' has a more hip hop beat, some what playful but not as playful 'Very Good'. A nice ending for the mini album. 'Have a nice day!'

Block B never failed to impress me.


p.s: sorry, I can't make out my promise for the BTS' drawing.

About October

I was about to write K-pop comebacks, starting from Epik High, Miss A, Block B, and Ailee.
But didn't know where to start. otl.

Epik High and Block B got me kinda disappointed at first. But look what I've got now. Addiction.
I didn't really like the song, because there're so many differences with the old songs, but they grew up in me. I enjoy listening to them, especially Block B--because I'm not an avid fan of Epik High--yeah.
Still love the old songs of Epik High, the best. And I realized I fell so hard into their sensitive songs. So called like, 1 Minute, 1 Second; Fool; and It's Cold (their song from the new '99' album). Plus the non-sensitive-but-inspiring song, Run. Me likey.

You should check the Run M/V, it's so cool, plus featuring L/the infamous Kim Myungsoo. They WERE in Woollim Entertainment (where Infinite are), but got out and is now signed with YGE.

Their new songs--which one is the title song, I don't know--are Up and Don't Hate Me. Each of them have an M/V. Be sure to check them out. Plus check out the hilarious karaoke M/V for It's Cold.

Epik High consist of 3 persons, that is including one DJ called DJ Tukutz. Cool. With two rappers, Tablo and Mithra Jin, so talented, they made most of their songs themselves.
Just like Block B. The leader IS a talented producer, Zico. Have I told you about the mixtapes he had? Awesome.
Hmm.. Epik High and Block B are somehow connected......

Block B's new title song Nillili Mambo. Hilarious title. I know. Turns out I don't really like the M/V and the song..but I already tell you that they grew up in me. So, it's okay to dancing like crazy, right?
I prefer the other songs from their new album 'Blockbuster' like 11.30; Movie's Over; plus the catchy beat Mental Breaker.





About Miss A..well I think everybody knows their new song.. I Don't Need A Man. So catchy. I really like it. No need further opinions, okay. I just love it.

Ailee, I Will Show You, I think everybody likes it too. I prefer Heaven or maybe Night Sky/Evening Sky in her new album 'Invitation'. And there's a good news for Night Sky: http://enewsworld.mnet.com/enews/contents.asp?idx=18990 ASSA~


Enough with the K-pop spazzing. :)
Sorry for no HyunA's comeback talk. My ice cream doesn't melt, Hyun.
