Hooray the summer is here and that means that there have already been a number of new KPOP releases recently. Here are our top 5 KPOP tunes by girl groups / bands, of the summer so far:
5) SISTAR (씨스타) – Loving U
A nice and cute video which complements the song very nicely. The song itself is more of a stereotypical bubblegum pop tune which in a few months time will be almost forgotten however for the moment its a nice sweet track that just makes it onto our top 5.
4) After School(애프터스쿨) – Flashback
After School caused a little shock with this slightly raunchy and grownup video which shows that they are really trying to move away from there younger pop past and into a more adult and professional future. The song is good and our number 4.
3) JUNIEL (주니엘) – Illa Illa (일라 일라)
A really sweet and natural tune from the 18 year old KPOP star of the future, that shows that there is growing talent coming out of Korea these day that doesn’t require gimmicks. We admit she isn’t a group but there are so few solo artists we felt it unfair to overlook her.
2) F (X) (에프엑스) – Electric Shock
F (X) (in our opinion) fall just short of the number one stop and its mainly due the bland and slightly boring video, the song is great however it let down by the video.
1) Wonder Girls – Like this
Well here it is the top song of the summer so far, Wonder Girls have scored with this triple home run release. Interesting Video, Dance Routine and Song, but the question is can any other girl group do any better this summer.
Honorable Mentions: Chi Chi – Love is Energy, APink – Hush, Girls Generation TTS – Twinkle, IU – End of the Day and G.NA – 2Hot. Some where more Spring time releases and others just missed out.
Thank you for your time today and if you feel there is a KPOP tune that we’ve missed please feel free to let us know. The Top Boy Band releases of the Summer so far is coming very soon.
