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!
