More English?

My posts this week are going off of the replies I got last week! So, these are for you guys! Another comment I received last week had to do with hearing more K-Pop videos in English. This I can definitely do for you! Most of the time, a song will be released in both Korean and English. I've posted a few examples already that are in English (2NE1's "Can't Nobody", SNSD's "The Boys", Wonder Girls' "Nobody", etc.) but here are some more.

Taeyang's "Wedding Dress"
Taeyang from the group Big Bang released a solo album and included was the iconic "Wedding Dress". This is the English version (I will be including the Korean version to compare with, if you wish) and I think the lyrics flow just as nicely. I happen to really love this version because sometime the English versions of the songs just don't seem to...work. Give it a listen! Here is the Korean version as well with the music video...

miss A - "Love Alone"
miss A's "Love Alone" is near flawless. The lyrics are easy to follow and the song has a dance-y beat to it. I'm sure this one will get stuck in your head in no time! It reminds me of Cascada a bit. I think this release was very successful and I applaud miss A for this track. This song does not have a Korean version.

Wonder Girls - "The DJ is Mine"
Along with the School Gyrls, the Wonder Girls released this song in the U.S. which was featured in their made-for-TV movie. I think this song is the catchiest of the three and more mainstream. The dubstep influence is obvious in this track and it works. I think this might be a favorite for you guys. The Wonder Girls have released a lot of songs and even a full album in English. Check them out!

So, here are just a few more English tracks. Give them a listen and let me know what you think! Good? Bad? Comment below!

  1. Ok since I've been exposed your blog I have really started to get into this type of music. It is something so different from what I'm used to listening to, but I it has definitely grown on me.
