Sandeul – My Shy Boss OST (with lyrics)

Posted on August 6, 2022 by Alison

Confession time: I started watching the series because of this song. Yes, tragic, I know. But I’m unrepentant – Sandeul’s glorious vocals make everything better, and the song appears frequently throughout the series at appropriate moments. It’s a gentle, lyrical … Continue reading →

B1A4 – Beautiful Target

Posted on October 31, 2021 by Alison

But just when you think it’s all fun and games, Sandeul opens his mouth. And keeps opening it – man damn near dislocates his jaw like a snake. And from that teddy bear face with the snake jaw comes the voice of an angel. And that voice Just. Does. Not. Stop. It gives the same sort of shock as opening your laundry basket to find it full of gold bars. Continue reading →

Sandeul – Smile Box

Posted on October 24, 2021 by Alison

Sandeul excels at many things, and with this song, he’s the Maestro of Mellow. If you can resist the urge to dance around your house/office/street singing “Bababa” then you’re a better person than I. Continue reading →

Still Not Dead…

Posted on October 14, 2021 by Alison

Sorry about the extended hiatus – life has gone a bit pear-shaped. Service will be resumed as soon as we’re sure what is normal anyway (h/t Hitch-hikers Guide to the Galaxy). I’ll be back once I’ve dealt with some zombies.

Posted on August 29, 2021 by Alison

Update: I’ve had to remove the Ben MV as it’s no longer available – not sure why this is happening, but it’s probably a copyright issue also. Something a bit different this week – I’ve got a review for a … Continue reading →

B1A4 – What’s Happening?

Posted on August 24, 2021 by Alison

Wildly boppy hyper-pop with a hippy trippy MV that makes you wonder whether the whole art department were hallucinating – anything that opens with songwriter Jinyoung’s apparently disembodied head singing in a box trips my weird-o-meter. The song’s just a … Continue reading →

B1A4 – 10 Times

Posted on August 14, 2021 by Alison

This is like the perfect video of the perfect holiday. The MV was released on 23rd April 2021, to celebrate the 10-year anniversary since their debut. Production is sensibly subtle – a good strong beat to keep the rhythm but … Continue reading →

CNU/Sandeul – Oblique Line

Posted on July 29, 2021 by Alison

This is a ‘smoky jazz club at 3:00 am’ sort of song, haunting and beautiful. Written by CNU (pronounced Shin-woo), who gave it to Sandeul for his solo album when he asked nicely (see what politeness gets you, kids?). CNU … Continue reading →
