Volume Up

Ok i lied. i decided not to do a boy band post. xD reason being that i just heard the new song by 4Minute and I love it! :D

Now this post isn't going to be about their new song though, but rather about what could be my favorite k-pop song of 2012 so far.

first let's look at the band. 4Minute is a five girl band created by Cube Entertainment in 2009. Now their name is of course based on the concept of a song being four minutes long.

They have released one album, three extended plays and four singles , that does not include their japanese work as like other k-pop groups they have expanded into the japanese market.
 
I wasn't a big fan of 4Minute when they first came out.But 2012 has been the year that this group finally made songs i could really enjoy. let's take a look at the bands line-up

from left to right we have:
Nam JiHyun - aged 22 and the leader of the group
Jeon JiYoon -aged 21 lead vocalist and lead rapper
Kim HyunA -aged 20 main rapper
Heo GaYoon -aged 22 main vocalist
Kwon SoHyun -aged 17 magnae (youngest)

in this vid HyunA does the lead rapping and JiYoon is the lead vocalist. by lead vocalist i mean JiYoon leads the chorus.

"volume Up" made it to number 2 on the korean Gaon chart and the extended play album made it to number !.

Anyways here is the song. I love the bridge element. I love the saxophone interplay and the strength of the chorus
