So here's a quick update on the albums which I recently download from K-Pop7 (a free to K-Pop download website). I used to use iHoneyJoo/ iHoneyMe/ iHoneyDew but now days the website wont allow free downloads instead they provide a link to download to YesAsia which you have to pay for the album. Another website I download my music from is nhachot (which is a newly discovered site that I found)
Brown Eyed Girls - Sixth Sense
I really enjoyed listening this album ^__^ . It's a lot different from the other K-pop albums because it has this kind of Jazz feel to some of their songs like Hot Shot, Countdown and Vendetta but also has that dance vibe to it.
The video clip to Sixth Sense is soooo good :) . Some of the clips relates to a political power and forcing activists to 'shut up'. And I also LOVE the high note scream .. which fits perfectly to the music and also to the rapping part to.
I would also say their eye make-up is soooo GOOOD!! ... I mean, if you haven't seen their eye make up yet, it is sooo different from all the other/ normal eye make-up you tend to put on yourself. The make-up gives of a struggle feel but also making them look powerful as well. Well done to the make-up artist who took the risk on giving eye make-up another definition. I LOVE IT! I think Brown Eyed Girls have released one of the most female-power albums this year. I would give this album a 9 out of 10.

Kim Hyun Joong - Lucky
BEFORE I begin; if you haven't released I have a small obsession with Kim Hyun Joong ... maybe its because I loved his character on Boys Before Flower? ... anyways, his 2nd mini album 'Lucky' gave me a 007/ James Bond feel. His song 'Lucky Guy' definitely gave me that feel of a cheeky playboy gambler which was a lot different from his other album 'Break Down'. I would give this album a 7 out of 10.

Girl's Generation - The Boys
So it was an anticipated wait for Girl's Generation new album 'The Boys' and with teasers being release making it look like it will become the next BIG hit ... so; I had high expectations for this album release. And as a result, the song 'Boys' really didn't reach that expectation. I mean, comparing this song and Brown Eyed Girl's Sixth Sense, Brown Eyed Girls would have definitely won because it shows power and it was obvious that once they release the song, it would make me watch over and over again. Whereas 'Boys' really didn't. The Korean version I didn't like much but the full English Version sounded better ... even though some of the English didn't make sense.
My favourite song at the moment on this album would be 'How Great Is Your Heart'. Most of the songs are like cute-sy and it was like all the other songs they released aka Gee, Genie, Mr Taxi etc ... Overall; I would give this album a 7 out of 10.

Well that's it for me. Keep an eye for some more new album reviews for all things K-Pop.
Til next time;
Take Care xx
