IU – IU…IM
With IU’s second mini-album, the quest to find her style was very much put out there. The end result is a very unbalanced mini that tries to hard but isn’t that bad.

Isaac Delgado – L.O.V.E.
Never understood cover tribute albums, but Isaac Delgado’s tribute to Nat King Cole en Español gives more than a playful re-imagining of the songs in Spanish. It’s got Latin Jazz soul.
Incubus – If Not Now, When?
For their seventh studio album, Incubus shows a romantic side on If Not Now, When? in terms of their sound and lyrics.
IMMI – Switch
Japanese Electro-Pop is something that isn’t as mainstream as your typical J-Pop, but is rising steadily. If you want to get into it, IMMI is a good way to start. SWITCH is her debut indie album, which sums up her first two singles Klaxon and Cosmic Pink while adding so much more.
Ikimono Gakari – Warattetainda / New World Music
Ikimono Gakari’s newest single is fun-loving and lively. Perfect for a sunny day at the beach or an energetic Sunday house cleaning.
Ian Britt – Box
Ian Britt isn’t new to the music scene; however, his latest effort, Box, carries itself with great ease, as if he were saying hello to anyone who may be within earshot.
Hyun Joong Kim – Break Down (EP)
The former leader of SS501, Hyun Joong Kim, came out with his solo EP Break Down on July 08, 2011. Being the last member of SS501 releasing his solo work, Break Down still harbors the sound of SS501 but with a litle bit sexier.
Human League, The – Credo
Credo, The Human League’s latest release, is a trip back to the days of cheerful synthpop, keytars and ugly haircuts -– the good old 80s. It is a venture back to their comfort zone, a blast from the past with slight notes of contemporary electronica and an upbeat attitude.
How To Destroy Angels – How To Destroy Angels (EP)
Trent Reznor married Mariqueen Maandig in ’09, effectively pissing off legions of NIN fans. But the post-industrial equivalent of Jay-Z and Beyonce have some pretty thrilling things up their sleeves.
Hoopers, The – GO!GO! Can’t Stop Dancing
The Hoopers lives up to its group tagline “Seven girls dressed as beautiful boys” and more with single mini-album GO!GO! ダンスが止まらナイ.
