I'm a little slow with this post since the video has been out for almost three weeks, but I like the song so much that I felt that I just had to make a post about it and include some of the great screen-caps that I was able to get.
I was wondering when they were going to make a come-back since it's been more than a year since 'Hands Up' came out. Now they're back with 'All Day I Think of You' and 'Come Back When You Hear This Song'. With these two songs and videos I've noticed two things. They look mature and hot, and the song titles are hella long now.
Beyond that though, I really do like ADTOY. The song, the choreography and the video are perfect together. I think they did a good job of making it known that they're older and more mature without being tasteless about it.
There have been a few performances of this song, so far but I've only seen one that includes Nichkhun's falsetto part. It's the MBC-Kpop performance that they did on 5/11/13.
As promised, feast your eyes on all the following hotness....
This is the very first solo single and mv combo from Kim
JaeJoong (the first single was ‘One Kiss’), and as a fan of almost five years,
I had high expectations. What genre of music was he going to come out with?
What sort of concept? I worried and anticipated. Finally, earlier today, the MV
premeired.
At first I was drawn in with the rough, almost desperate
sounding vocals, because JJ usually sounds so smooth and romantic. The heavy
guitar riffs give the song a gritty feel.
Then the visuals of the video started to make an impact.
Lost in a barren forest, and chained up unable to speak because of the muzzle
put on him. Then he breaks the chains and casually throws them over his
shoulder as if to say ‘What’s next?’. He runs through a flock of Ravens (a bird
that feasts on corpses and symbolizes death to some), when he comes out on the
other side he’s stronger and a predator (vampire and snake lover) in his own
right, with his own space where he sprouts the wings of an owl (a bird of prey
which is considered a symbol of wisdom).
Finally, the lyrics. They are filled with pain and again a
bit of desperation. With lines like “You’re terrible, it’s like you’re diseased”,
“Don’t come here, this is my ocean”, and “Don’t block out the sun that shines
on me”. I read that the songs for this album ‘I’ were all written by JJ himself
and reflect his inner feelings and thoughts. How much did he go through, to
have written these lyrics??
I think everything was done so well for this. The colors
were dark and minimal; the concept was consistent and created a contrast
between anything I’ve ever seen him in previously, and his beautiful voice
giving off emotions that I’ve never heard from him. This is the sort of thing
that makes me happy that I’m already a fan. I hate feeling like I’m jumping on
a band-wagon, but with no shame and with the knowledge of a long-time fan, I
can confidently say that I LOVE this song and video.
If you haven’t watched it so far, please feel free to do so
now.
2013 is still very new, but the boys of B.A.P are back with a new single. 'Rain Sound is a track from their up-coming mini-album.
The teaser wasn't much, just a small snippet of the song and a metal chain with green rain falling down on it. I had no idea what to expect, only that this might be a slower track than anything they have released previously. My guess was correct, but B.A.P has continually surprised me, and this time in no exception.
Everything from the song and vocals to the video and images. For starters this is the first single that was neither fast nor forceful. This was a smooth, slightly sexy mid-tempo tune. Sweet and clear vocals from Young Jae accompany the sound of rain drops at the beginning of the song, before the bass line and Yong Guk's husky rap starts... So well done. I love that everyone had a decent length part in this song. Himchan was finally singing, not randomly yelling, although he's pretty hot when that happens... but this time we get to really hear how deep his voice is as he subtely says 'I'm drawing you again today, will I be able to erase you?
I loved the rich reds and purples before the black and white at the end. I loved the fact that there was barely any dancing in this video, it makes me look forward to their live stage. Although I'm not sure if or when they'll have one since this was a pre-release not a comeback. Obviously, I want to see a live stage for this one, but right now, I'm so happy with this video, that I'm too busy re-watching it to look for live performances.
There were just some shots in the video that I couldn't resist taking shots of. I even tried my hand at my first ever edit...
