| HyunA "Melting", Taiwan Edition |
About a month ago I was all set to purchase the latest single from 4Minute’s more outspoken member HyunA, a cool little mini-album called “Melting” which included not only the title track but some pretty catchy other tunes as well (especially the cute “Green Apple”), but just before I was set to order it, my friend told me he’d just gotten the TAIWAN version of Melting which not only had all the songs off the regular Korean version of Melting, but a bunch of bonus songs, too!
I figured the bonus songs would be remixes of the tracks, but I was floored to realize that not only were they “real” songs, they were in fact the entire BUBBLE POP mini-album (minus “Attention”) and the kick-butt (and very 4Minute flavoured) digital download song “Change” !! Can you say WHOA!!! Looking at this tracklisting of this Taiwan import, it almost reads like a Greatest Hits package of sorts, and in fact, if they had included “Troublemaker” on this CD, that’s EXACTLY what it would have become!!
So Mathematically, It breaks down like this:
Along with those awesome tracks came a beautiful 24 page photobooklet (I presume this was part of the original Melting release?) just chock FULL of sexy HyunA goodness (see pics)… And HOLY CRAP, if THAT wasn’t enough, this set ALSO came with a BONUS DVD with the videos for Ice Cream, Bubble Pop AND Change!!! And all region-free, to boot! Man, when they say that K-pop gives you the most for your money, they were TOTALLY talking about releases like this! I am just AMAZED!!!
