This is the 3rd project after ‘Colour Pink’ featuring SeeYa, Davichi and Black Pearl; and ‘Colour Purple’ by Shin HyeSung.

This interesting new group B2Y is back to bring the disco craze back to the young Kpop listeners.
They releases their debut minialbum ‘Babyboys to Yearninggirls’ with the title song ‘Jeez!’ which is said to have the feeling of ‘Grease’ and ‘Saturday Night Fever’.
The album showcased some great vocals and the title song ‘Jeez’ is just addictive.

Park Ki Young is back with a new single album after 2 years since her last album in 2007 with title song ‘Because of You’. I was in love with her voice ever since. Her songs very much reminded me of ex-Loveholic JiSun.
With this new single album released this year with ‘녹화된 테잎을 감듯이 (Recorded Tapes are Closed)’, I thought she steered away from her usual music style for more sensational ballad.
But it is for a good change, great vocals for the genre. The MV to the song also stars Clazziquai Alex and Park EunHye.

Singer Taru finally releases her first full length album. Taru debuted in 2007 as part of band The Melody.
Ever since, she was known for her electronica pop hits and various collaborations ie ‘1 Minute 1 Second’ with Epik High, Taru is also known for singing for CFs.
I love all the numbers featured in this album, and new version of ‘Yesterday’ has to be one of the most pleasant surprise from this album.
Taru is one of my must-have music artistes in my iPod.

Singer Hong KyungMin is back with his 10th album. Known for his great vocals (and also wits), but probably not very well known amongst young music listeners.
In this new 10th album, he brought some great ballad hits, the only one I don’t like is ‘그러지마’.
