Block B's HeR has this addictive tune that always gets me to dance and shake my body (and I am listening to it right now!). Just can't help it! When I first listened to it, I noticed that the music arrangement had almost the same one as Kim Hyun Joong's Lucky. I was never sold with Lucky, but H.e.R is totally different in its own way. Another reason of why I just can't get this song out of my mind right now, is that I am totally attracted to the amazing vocals of Block B. I never knew before that Block B was also consisted of what I could say as among the best vocals in the idol world. Well, put the blame on me for not finding out this group before (I knew them, it's just I never cared -_-'), but I am glad that it is not too late.
Some of the reviews I read, all had positive feedback on this group's not only its title song, but on the whole mini album. I decided to give it a listen anyway to all songs, boy, was I wrong! It's so unfortunate that I came to discover Block B too late than other BBCs (Block B's fans). Most probably Block B had this kind of crazy and wild side of them in the earlier albums, well, which just happened not suit to my preferences.
Another suggestion given was to listen to "Jackpot". I watched the music video first and found out that Kim Sae Ron was the female lead. Just nice to suit the first verse of the lyrics :
저 오빠들 이상해 (jeo oppadeul isanghae) = Those oppa are weird
Indeed those oppa are weird, honey. Give this MV a watch, and you'll understand as why the girl claimed they were such weirdos, looking at all sorts of things they did to her. LOL.
Jackpot is a mixture of all kinds of genres it can be, but strangely enough, I am surprised by myself that my ears are receiving it well. The music transitions, instead of confusing me, are excellently arranged.
As fun as HeR and Jackpot can be, H.E.R. has also served me another two songs that are now being listed as my must-listen-to from this mini album.
보기 드문 여자 (bogi deumun yeoja) - Extraordinary Girl.
이제 날 안아요 (ijae nal annayo) - Embrace Me Now.
Despite the relatively good reviews given by some K-pop listeners, however some fans of theirs do not appreciate this album as much as others do. Reason? The album is not as edgy as any previous albums produced before. I guess, people's opinions really differ based on their personal preferences.
Finally! It feels so good letting out what I think and feel these days. I have been meaning to write this out, but keep postponing for some unknown reasons. LOL. If only trying to focus on watching a drama to ramble on is the reason. Gonna to look forward what Block B will offer in the future.
