[Songs] Remembering the Warm Months (Carmi's Rotation)
Saturday, September 26, 2009 posted at 10:21 AM
Hi Everyone! My name's Carmi and I'm another new contributor to the blog. My music tastes really vary - everything from J-Pop to old school rock (blame the show Supernatural) - so hopefully you'll like at least one of the songs in my rotation. It's a "tribute" to the warm months that have already gone by since it's Autumn here.
1. Real Love Story - Se7en feat. Taebin & Wheesung
Korean | Pop
An older pop song with summer vibes. It's a nice, airy pop song and some of the older vibes come through. I really liked how the three were able to blend their voices but still stay distinct during their respective parts.
2. Sugar Shack - DJ Hal featuring Daichi Miura, LL Brothers, HI-D, Full of Harmony & Leo
Japanese | Pop
It's a fairly recent release off of DJ Hal's Sugar Shack album. There are times when the higher vocals (by Full of Harmony - I think - and Daichi) seem to go a little too high for my liking but the lower and mid-range stuff is pretty good and their voices blend well.
3. Fly Away - Asami Izawa
Japanese | Pop
Asami's vocals are nice and mellow and stay in the mid-range tones. The song is upbeat and has a jazzy quality, almost reminiscent of old school (nineties) house music.
4. Matsu Kumo Kusa (Snow Drop) - Ota
Japaese | Pop
The verses at times sound as though they're having a conversation timed to music - but it works! The background is simple which suits the rap and vocals perfectly.
5. Eden's East - Cool
Korean | Pop
It's my favorite song by Cool and definitely makes me think of a nice summer day with a cool breeze. It's upbeat and the chorus is catchy but the base line gives the song a bit more depth. It's simple but still fun to listen to.
