KPOP EXPRESS: lim kim - all right / sistar - give it to me / tara n4 - joen wan diary / girls day - female president / chocolat - black tinkerbell


lim kim - all right
originally part of a duo, lim kim ended up recording a solo EP cause her partner had to go back to the states to finish his studies. the result for this husky singer (and music competition runner up) is this interesting debut single that sounds miles away from the rest of the charts. curious if this off kilter sound will mean a sub genre of indie pop. hope so!


sistar - give it to me
currently the kpop #1 on billboard, the girl band sistar have slowly broken through the dearth of pop acts and turned into one of the kpop scene. even with that status, they still need a re-introduction to the charts and what better way than with this fun retro disco infused single.


t-ara n4 - joen wan diary
a 4 member subgroup of the girl group t-ara ('tiara', geddit?), this euro pop number is wonderfully catchy and you'll be bopping along to it in no time!


girls day - female president
is it just me or does this sound alot like little mix's "wings"? either way the single is working for this girl band as the song is currently in the top 10 of the billboard kpop charts.


chocolat - black tinkerbell
so the big twist in this girl band is that all of their members grew up abroad and 3 of them are biracial. i love how in kpop that's an angle!
