BIBI – Life Is A Bi***

Posted on September 1, 2021 by Alison

Glorious BIBI – Ulysses would have had himself lashed to a mast to hear this voice. But then, given her predilection for singing about uncomfortable topics, he might have ended up lashing her to something afterwards. And by uncomfortable topics, … Continue reading →

Sandeul, Ben – Love In The Moonlight OST plus promo teaser feat. Park Bo-gum

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 →

SHINee – Ring Ding Dong

Posted on August 20, 2021 by Alison

You know those trashy magazines with headlines like “ALIEN worms CRAWLED in my EAR and ATE my BRAIN!!!”? They’re talking about this song. From Jonghyun’s first powerfully belted “Baby”, through the hypnotic bridge of “Rocka rocka rocka rocka rocka rocka … Continue reading →

Posted on August 18, 2021 by Alison

Not many artists would be brave enough to finish their music video posing like a paint-splashed Christ, but you can always count on Taemin to go the extra mile. The fact that he spends a portion of the MV wearing … 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 →

Taemin – Move

Posted on August 12, 2021 by Alison

Be honest – nobody watches Taemin’s music videos for the biting social commentary, do they? I love the way he starts the video wearing a t shirt with the slogan “Take a small bite” – sorry, mate, but I’m not … Continue reading →

Ukulele Death Squad – Misirlou

Posted on August 8, 2021 by Alison

You’ve seen their cover of Nancy Sinatra’s Bang, Bang and their awesome original Not Afraid – well, their cover of Dick Dale’s version of Misirlou, that old surf classic which some of you might know as the Pulp Fiction theme, … Continue reading →

Super Junior – Burn The Floor

Posted on August 4, 2021 by Alison

The director deserves to be bathed in warm chocolate for this one, because it’s the most mesmerising MV I’ve seen. From the opening, with apparent multiple versions of Sadako from Ring crawling over a light box, to the close, with … Continue reading →

Heechul, Min Kyung-hoon, DinDin, BIBI, Ateez – Hanryang

Posted on August 1, 2021 by Alison

Hang onto your hanbok – this collaboration brings the attitude in great big gobs, from some of the best in the biz. And nobody, but nobody, does attitude like Heechul, unless it’s BIBI, with her voice like melting chilli chocolate … Continue reading →
