You may have noticed we have a new contributer, Lena! =) I am hoping to have the rest of the number lottery up this weekend, I'm working on uploading right now. In the meantime, I have the solo single of Battle's lead singerJin Tae Hwa/Zin Tae Hwa, as well as DBSK duo JaeJoong & Yoochun's Shelter and popular YouTube artist Gabe Bondoc's Gentlemen Don't. ![]() Jin Tae Hwa (진태화) - Fallen Angel (디지털싱) Release Date: Oct. 6, 2009 01. With U... ![]() 02. 타락천사 (feat. Jed) I love Battle, and TaeHwa has always been my favourite member, so I was thrilled to hear that he was releasing a solo single (but just to clarify, he is not leaving the group). With U... is a smooth, warm R&B-influenced song. TaeHwa's creamy voice sounds fantastic against the soft piano-sprinkled backdrop. I love the delicate harmonies (especially from 2:03 - 2:06). Recommended! 타락천사 is slightly faster paced, with synths & dance influences. Although I'm quite sick of the whole electronica trend - and 타락천사 embodies it quite closely - it's a well-executed song, catchy and danceable. ![]() 02. Shelter - JaeJoong & YooChun (from 東方神起) ![]() Japanese | Pop The b-side to COLORS ~Melody and Harmony~, Shelter begins with an isolated piano, leading into a midtempo R&B ballad. It's warm and light, and I love YooChun's slightly deeper voice in combination with JaeJoong's sweeter, lighter tone. The chorus is backed by light synths and harmonies, which create an airy but rich atmosphere. A mature, carefully presented song. ![]() Gentlemen Don't - Gabe Bondoc ![]() English | Acoustic I've heard lots of good things about Gabe Bondoc, who is based in California although he is of Filipino descent. This was the first song I heard from him, and I was simply blown away. It's one of his original songs, not a cover, and it's incredibly genuine and heartfelt. Gabe Bondoc's full-bodied voice is paired with a soft acoustic guitar, and the whole song has a very delicate, raw feel. I love the chorus and the lyrics throughout the song.
