Block B is our light

Despite all the bad and unfortunate things that Block B went through last year, making BBCs think that the group will disband, Block B didn't forget their fandom, how talented they are or how they deserve to be in the K-pop scene and surprised BBC with exciting news. They are coming back even stronger signed in a different label 7 Seasons which is under their previous label Stardom Entertainment.

Block B is making a comeback on October 2nd with the release of their mini album but because they didn't want to make BBCs wait any longer they released a pre-released track called 'Be The Light' which was produced and written by Zico. Seriously this kid is on another level. Different from their characteristic hip-hop sound the song is a mid-tempo ballad in which we can still see and listen clearly Block B's own color and vibe. Block B stated that although they are known as a hip-hop boy group, they want to experience, try and produce other types of music as well such as house, jazz and electronic. Judging their new song I say 'It's about time'! Furthermore with trying new genres of music we'll might have the chance to see Block B revealing some other skills or talents that we didn't know or heard of. I mean 'Be The Light' shows Block B's amazing vocals as well despite their awesome rap skills.

The mv, according to BBCs, shows how much Block B loves BBC and how much they care and concern about them. We see U-kwon beaten up by some guys who represent the society and how much pain they have been through in all those years but they are able to stand up because they have the support of their fandom ( in the mv the girl represents BBC ) and because the members are always there for each other, being one big family. I really like the the scenes, the camera angles and the mv as a whole. There are some great scenes but my favorite is when Block B walks on the roof of the building. Simple scene, great meaning : When we are together, we are on top. Also P.O. is so handsome with his new haircut. Stick with it P.O. Last but not least the mv ends with a member ( maybe U-kwon? ) getting into a van holding a clown mask. This might be a preview for their next song but it has already picked fans curiosity.

One thing is certain now : The new and improved Block B is back and they are not going anywhere!

D-Unit shows a different face

It's been a while since I wrote about a girl group, B.A.P, Nu'Est and Teen Top didn't allow anyone else to steal their spotlight, but now I have a good reason to return to girl groups. That is D-Unit's new song 'Talk To My Face'.

D-Unit made their comeback with their second album 'Affirmative Chapter 1' but they also had a big change in the group. Along with Ujin, Zin and Ram, we salute the new member JNEY (former member of GP Basic). Also producer of the title track was Zico from Block B! Now that's what I call an ACE! Zico you should definitely produce more songs! I like that in the beginning we get to listen Zico's voice and his characteristic 'Brraaa' in the middle of the song. Solid artist, solid song.

Now back to our girls and the mv. The mv portrays two things : Friendship and love. We see a guy, Ujin's boyfriend, to completely ignore her calls because apparently sleeping and reading magazines are better things to do instead of being with your girlfriend. Ujin discovers that he ignores her, so she and her friends go to his house and bullying him. Girls' power! Later, Ujin gets more upset as she sees that her boyfriend is not wearing his couple ring and thus she leaves. Up until now we all assume that her boyfriend is an idiot and the best option for her is to leave him. But it seems that he has a good heart after all as he realizes that it's their anniversary and with the help of her friends, they organize a surprise party. And as for his ring, he decided it was better to wear it as a necklace, so no worries Ujin.

The choreography, the outfits and the beat of the song are amazing! The outfits have more color and they are more girly compare to 'Luv Me' and 'Missing You' but not too much though. D-Unit manages to keep their identity by making little changes in their appearances. As for the choreography it has nice moves and flow and my favorite movement is at the 'look at me' part or 'the searching dance' 

All you have to do is press click and talk to their faces!

Zia : For A Year

The song 'For A Year', the album 'Anemone' and the mv, are propably once in a lifetime experiences. I mean where will you ever listen a beautiful heart-breaking song with B.A.P.'s Bang Yong Guk, B1A4's Baro and ZE:A's Siwan featuring in the mv? If your answer is in Zia's new mini album 'Anemone' you guessed right!
Although I don't know Zia or 'The Queen Of Ballad' as she's most known of, her voice is pure, magnificent and powerful. She can express every single emotion that each song requires. And all that by listening to her mini album.

'For A Year' is the title track of her album and I'm so happy that Bang Yong Guk, Baro and Siwan participate! Let me just say that the mv is a piece of art. You can tell by watching it that they have done a wonderful job with the acting and the story. I like that when the mv starts, the song doesn't immediately begin but you have the chance to see the actress' pain and feelings through her simple and meaningless actions : Walking slowly, leaning on the couch and open the window. So when the music begins we get to see her memories.
The three boys are actually one guy but they represent all the different stages their relationship went through. Siwan is the happy, carefree and caring guy she fell in love with in the beginning. As their relationship continues he becomes more distant and he shows that he doesn't care about her anymore (Baro) and as they reach the end Bang Yong Guk is being angry and violent showing their break up. Near the end we see the girl surrounding by candles and holding a small fire in her finger. Then she blows it off and everything is back as they way it was. The fire and the candles represent the hope that there was a small chance of them being together again but it fade away like the fire. That's why in the end Siwan is happy but slowly he becomes sad. Yong Guk, Baro and Siwan were exceptional in their roles portraying perfectly the right emotion each. Plus the plot the directing and Zia's voice made the song and the mv even more amazing!

Listen her mini album and you won't regret it. If you are a Block B's fan then 'Falling Teardrops' is the perferct gift as Kyung is featuring!

A Blockbuster comeback

The truth is that I don't really know Block B. The only song I know is NalinA, an upbeat dance song, which I like a lot. I think though that I will learn more about this group since they made their comeback with their first full length album 'Blockbuster'.
Block B made their return with the song 'Nillili Mambo'. Let me just say that the song is spectacular. It got me hooked up instantly and as it goes on it only gets better and better. The song has a hip hop beat combined with cool orchestra sounds which make it so addictive. I love the pirate vibe that both the mv and song have. In the mv you can see the pirate theme all over the place through the scenery, the costumes, the style and the members' attitude. The storyline is creative and hilarious as the boys play a hide and seek game, since they have stolen something and are trying not to get caught. Although there isn't a choreography in the mv, the hands and body movement that they do near the end is exactly what would match the whole theme. But they save the best part for the end. When the music stops the mv continues where you can see the members opening the last briefcase but unforunately they see that it's empty. Then the leader takes the gun and threatens the members who are frightened and scream like little girls. The perfect way to end it.

One other thing that you have to do besides watching their mv is to listen their new album. Seriously all the songs are amazing and shows the hard work that Block B did to give their fans a decent album and comeback. So listen to 'Mental Breaker', 'Movie's Over', 'Romantically', 'No Joke' and prepare for this month because as BBC calls it it's gonna be a Blocktober!
