Just wanna feel free...

This is like the 3rd time this year I’ve OD-ed on Korean music. I had too much time over the weekend and I went on a download frenzy… I have now amassed almost all of Park Hyo Shin’s albums, just missing his 5th album. Anyone know where I can get it? And also the instrumental version for Castle of Zoltar… I need that.

Also downloaded Lee Min Woo’s 4th album, M RIZING and SS501's mini-album, U R Man. Something about SS501’s songs it just makes me wanna dance. I now understand how it feels to be in a goldfish bowl. My room in Singapore is small, but space is not an issue for me. It’s the fact that there are so many people at home who may intrude on this private activity of mine :P Sitting here in the office is a torture. My whole body is itching to dance. Just wanna run off somewhere and dance all the tension away.

Let's do some reviews... I've always liked Lee Min Woo's music, but this 4th album was really different. I don't see a very consistent style of music throughout the album, which makes it very entertaining.


1. I'm Here
2. 남자를 믿지마 (Feat. BigTone)
3. I “M” U (Feat. MightyMouth)
4. 용서해
5. 멋진 인생
6. 가면 무도회 (Feat. BigTone) (Masquerade)
7. 윙크 쇼 (Wink Show)
8. Honey 꼬시기 - Feat. 유빈 (Wonder Girls)
9. Sad Song
10. 반한 Girl
11. 나의 여백(M’s Epilogue)
12. ...없게 만들어요
13. Hot! (Feat. 손담비)...)

The opening song, I'm Here is powerful. Wink Show is reminiscent of a circus parade. Cool Life sounds like a song by the Korean Rat Pack :P Masquerade is a good song to tango to ^_^ But the sexiest song will be Hot! featuring Son Dambi of the chairdance fame :P Please wiki if you need elaboration.

SS501's Triple-S put out a surprisingly different album. This album reminds me a lot of 90s Pop. Think 911, Code Red... but I like it.


1. WANT IT
2. U R Man
3. The ONE
4. 사랑인거죠
5. Never Let You Go
6. I AM

Want It is the typical Hip Hop opening, used to make a statement. U R Man, I have already advertised in one of my last posts. It's K-pop, and the video is funny! :P I dunno what inspired the Korean mob look. My favourite songs are the remaining Never Let You Go, The ONE and I AM (in this order). Don't ask me why I like them... I have a soft spot for 90s pop... and when you throw in funny instruments, it just gets me hooked to the song :P

On a darker note, I got slammed on YouTube several times in the past few days. It’s kinda disheartening to hear from mean people. I usually reply politely and carry on doing what I like, but it gets annoying when such people keep coming back to attack me. I have never put myself out as a good dancer. I dance because I love the way the music makes me feel. I just want to move when I hear a great song. The other reason I post my videos is to share good songs with people. Naturally, I won’t just post the songs and put a photo… why not make it a little more interesting by posting a video? :P

I know for a fact that I can dance, because my teachers have told me so. Of course I can’t do splits or backflips, but I can move. I just lack discipline. If I would actually take the time and put in the effort to choreograph and practice before I record, it would definitely look better. I’ll be starting my Hip Hop lessons again after CNY. Hopefully that would help me improve.

But honestly, I love freestyling, and just dancing to whatever and whenever. I guess this is my message to the viewers. To feel free and do whatever it is that music makes you feel. What else is more precious in today’s world than freedom of expression? The feeling that you are releasing that inner energy and putting your emotions on display…

Some people paint, some people cook, some take photos, some write poetry… I just wanna dance ^_^ (and sing too!)
