G-Dragon - Heartbreaker

Howdy!

I have been given another recommendation! Woo!

Let's get down to business!


G-Dragon (GD) - Heartbreaker

This is a good recommendation as I already love this song. It is not the greatest. I know he has done better but this gets stuck in my head, I always sing along and dance away. I am currently dancing along now!

This was his first solo debut so we shall cut him some slack.

This song starts off up-beat and gives the vibe of a song that will make you dance. And it delivers! Considering the lyrics, it is still an upbeat song that gives a happy feel. Obviously, if you understand Korean it is a different story. But if you are after a song that makes you want to dance a little, this is on the list. 

The song is about a break-up or rejection I think that is obvious haha! being called Heartbreaker and all.. Some of the lyrics are "you say you don't like me, what's the reason why?" and it goes on to "you say that I have changed" I think that answers the question!

Interesting outlook on a reason as to why relationships end. This happens often and people demand an answer. "You changed." people will always change, but whether it be for the better or worse, it affects how people feel about you. It is a nice insight. 

GD has a lot of talent, and he shows them quite well in this song and video. I do love his dancing, he needs to do it more. Haha!

I hope you enjoy this song! ^_^

GD x Taeyang - Good Boy

Good Evening all!

Hope you are well.


This is another recommendation from a friend - a different friend. I like taking recommendations! ^_^



 
GD x Taeyang - Good Boy
K-pop
 
My first impression? "What the hell?" I wasn't sure what to make of this. However, I know GD's music and I thought I would keep an open mind and carry on. As I am not a huge fan of K-Pop or anything like that I wasn't sure how I would react.
 
I was pleasantly surprised.
 
This is definitely a song that would fill a dancefloor. Here in the UK I know that if they played this in the clubs- the floor would fill. The rhythm is very hip-tastic. I was sat here moving my hips to the music. I  also uttered the words
 
"I feel I need my shades and just nod my head."
 
I felt very gangsta! This is not a bad thing.
 
I find this music is quite close to Hiphop which is an acquired taste in my opinion - which I am also not a huge fan of. However, this I did like, once it got into it a little. It is a very catchy little tune!
 
Video:
Ok the video is very strange. I just know it has a very club feel to it which helps with the idea of it being a club song. The choreography is very well done. As I would expect, GD seems to have a very good choreographer. The moves flowed smoothly. It all worked together and achieved what it was meant to - make people dance.
 
Lyrics/Vocals:
I have no idea what this song is about, what they are saying or anything. In complete honesty! That said- with this kind of song, I don't think it really matters. I know both of these gentlemen can sing very well. Interesting how a lot of Kpop musicians can both rap and sing. Hmm.
 
All in all final impression:
 
Another friend of mine stated "Best song of 2014, hands down. Even though it only came out towards the end." - I cannot agree with this unfortunately. True it is a very good song, it is good for being loud and danced to. I don't think I could sit in a room and listen to it.
 
I will mark it with a 7/10. Mostly because I like sitting and listening, not just dancing. xD
 
Hope you all enjoyed this song! I find it very catchy! I will probably end up dancing to this in my sleep. haha!
