Yatta! Today my K-pop shipment containing the latest f(x) release “Pink Tape”, the New Brown-Eyed Girls Album Black Box and the first physical (at least that I could commercially buy) release from those zany Crayon Pop girls with their single “Bar Bar Bar”!!!
I'd already downloaded Crayon pop's Bar Bar Bar single when it first came out, but as this was the first physical album I ever saw for sale on the K-POP sites, I just HAD to purchase it ,if only to let the folks at Chrome Entertainment know WE WANT MORE! Even though the single only came with that one song and an instrumental version, it was still beautifully packaged with a hard case cover and a glossy photobook inside, well worth the $10!
Brown Eyed Girls, the Mighty BEG are back! Though I've got and totally LOVE the girls prior two albums SOUNDG and SIXTH SENSE, this is the first album the girls have released since I've been into K-pop, so this purchase is pretty special to me, and this album is as swinging with tuff-girl bravado as the other albums, heavy on the grooves and percussion, and perfect for shaking thy booty!
Both the Crayon Pop single and the Brown Eyed Girls album are great, but the one I was most excited for was the new album from the cutting edge electro pop goddesses f(x), and holy CRAP, I wasn’t disappointed! Where so many other k-pop acts are releasing what sounds like very typical fare, f(x) continue to astound with new sounds and styles, and it’s like every track here is a new experiment with moving the band musically forward!
And the packaging….if you take a look, they’ took the album’s name “Pink Tape”, and made a CD album box that looks JUST like an old VHS tape, complete with labels and slipcase! So cool! And for an added bonus, the random trading card I got was of Victoria, the senior member who’s been turning me on like HELL this promotion!!!!
Man, Gots me some listenin' to do!!!!
