Lee Hi

Do you like a good mix of awkward, adorable and talented? Well, you're in the right place!

Lee Hi started out on the audition show Kpop Star, and ended up joing YG entertainment. Originally she was meant to debut with SuPearls, but after her extremely successful solo release of 1.2.3.4 that plan was abandoned and she continued as a solo artist.

Please enjoy her latest video, It's Over, which has slightly less awkward and a lot more bear than 1.2.3.4 did!

I love this girl. How unpolished she is makes her seem so humble, and it's undeniable that the girl can SING.

Lee Hi released another MV entitled Rose. I love this song.

...I'm going to sadly chug along. SURELY SOMEONE WILL JOIN ME? ANYONE

So her first album, First Love, is out, and it's fabu. I thought I'd give a quick review.

1)Turn It Up - I like it. It sounds very Beyonce, actually, but I'm glad it's not a full length track. It doesn't suit her as well as some other songs on the album do.

2)Special ft. Jennie Kim - I'm really digging this song. I've seen some complaints about Jennie Kim's rap. I actually like it, though she does sound very young. It's weird hearing the rap interlude from a voice so much higher than the main singer. This has been stuck in my head some, though. You are, you are, you a-are!

3)It's Over - I love the snot out of this song, and I love its MV, and it's just great. So baby, goodbye!

4)짝사랑/One-Sided Love - This isn't a sound I hear from k-pop much, if ever. Very soulful and even has kind of a church choir going. It's definitely different. I like it a lot, but I haven't found myself listening to it as much as some of the other tracks on the album.

5)Dream - This song is really "meh" for me compared to a lot of the other songs on the album. It's a ballad. I dunno.

6)Rose - Ughhhh so good. This song is just one I could listen to all day on repeat. It never really has a big dramatic high point, but that works for it as far as I'm concerned. I even like her talking section.

7)바보/Fool for Love - Also kinda "meh" for me. Still good, just not extraordinary.

8)Because - I really like this song. It doesn't have a super strong personality compared to Rose or It's Over, but the flow of it is great and I love the beginning when it's just her voice.

9)내가 이상해/Am I Strange? - Wow. Okay, I love this song. The lyrics are really poignant, the way the song is structured really brings across the point, and it's... it's just like a quiet misfit anthem. I even love the breathing. Make this song into a food so I can eat it. And then cry later because of my feels.

10)1,2,3,4 - Great song, and probably one of the catchiest she's done. I like to pretend the MV doesn't exist, though. Still wonderful after many months of listening.

NOW SOMEONE GO CHECK OUT THIS ALBUM, JEEZ.

I really like her voice! Do you know anywhere I could check out the album? :)

I've only seen that MV, but I think it/she is boring.

[Plum]

Which MV of the three she's released, Ap? She's not there for sex appeal nor is she a good actress. She's just a good singer, which is why I like her. That album is shit hot.

I downloaded it at k2nblog.com to tide me over until my physical album arrives.

[Ap2000]

It was Rose.
She did seem like an interesting singer, though.

[Plum]

I'd argue Rose is a bad starting point. Check out dat album though, and maybe It's Over's MV.

I like how this basically is benevolent leader Leslie Nielson talking with a cat with a hat on.

I really liked 1234. I haven't listened to anything else yet but overall she's the first person from YG I've ever liked.
