Lenka – TWO

If I could have background music in real life, Lenka’s songs would certainly be a constant. It has a free spirited feeling to it. This is what I love about the album TWO.

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.

LOST and FOUND was the debut of singer IU on the Korean music scene. For a then 15-year-old, the sound and style of this album is more mature than her age. A great mini that showcases the amazing vocal talent IU possesses.

Bibi Zhou – NOW/WOW

The double album by Zhou Bichang came about after Bibi completed her music studies in California and graduated from the music conservatory in Guangdong. Both NOW and WOW sport very different music styles and two very different Bibis.

IU – REAL

With this album, singer IU is back to her original sound. It’s mature without being too heavy. A perfect balance of the great talent this singer has and her young age.
