NEW BLACKPINK!!: blackpink - ddu du ddu du

blackpink - ddu du ddu du
already breaking records with the most youtube views of any kpop girl band history within 24 hours (47 million and counting), blackpink release their latest EP square up with 4 tracks kicking off with this banger of 'ddu du ddu du'. i'm sure we'll be seeing some videos accompanying those tracks very soon, for now we welcome back my fave kpop gals!

VIDEO PREMIERE: 2ne1 - goodbye

2ne1 - goodbye
here it is... one of kpop's biggest girl bands releases their final single in the form of this acoustic number which also showcases a threesome instead of the original four. 2ne1 really paved the way for kpop acts breaking international barriers and their brand of sassy multi influenced pop set a blueprint for what pop could sound like (wackadoo awesomeness!) as they venture into solo pursuits, the group itself will be sorely missed.

KPOP PREMIERE: 4minute - hate

4minute - hate
it's been awhile since i've posted some fun kpop for my people, so i figured i'd kick off my 2016 occasional coverage with the girl group 4minute and their skrillex produced single 'hate'. to be honest, every dance move and image feels a bit over thought wannabe 2ne1 to me, but the girls have offered a catchy dubsteppy pop song for your day. all good!

SUNDAY JAM: diplo vs cl vs riff raff vs og maco - doctor pepper

diplo vs cl vs riff raff vs og maco - doctor pepper
cl from 2ne1 gets her first official english single release with ALOT of help from rapper riff raff and og maco. kind of wish it was more of a solo affair (i mean, the girl has the chops to be the next M.I.A.) so hopefully the next release will be more cl less other...

KPOP HIP HOP: cl (from 2ne1) - the baddest female

cl (from 2ne1) - the baddest female
the debut solo single of cl from the kpop supergroup 2ne1, lee chae-lin aka cl, has always been my favorite member of the quartet (and it seems like i'm not the only one as the video garnered 1 million hits the day of its premiere). it's basically just a groove with some dubstep and unnie dancing thrown in, but damn the video looks good!
