It has been really been a disappointing summer for K-pop but it seems we may have a redeeming factor in the equation of Summer K-pop releases and it lies with Sistar's comeback. We finally get a good tune and a good video which has not been the case with this year K-pop summer releases from Psy's Tragedy of a song to a disappointing Tara Solo artist singing to a DJ pattern Maker we really hear a good tune and a danceable tune as well.
Music
This has a cute tune and it should be even though we are told to touch the girls' bodies we do not feel nasty . We feel more cute and there is some cute sax keyboard sounds in the song and the girl's rap for us but it feels so fun and like someone typed it is a good summer song it does sound like a summer song of love and it has topped previously summer songs out there. The Introduction of strings is great to re-introduce the young ladies and then we get rocking and we get a wonderful complexity of catchy rhythm for a change which makes a good pop song and also we do not stray from the simplicity hook to get you interested into the song. Like I said there is rapping in the song but it is not that overbearing I am street hood rat rap you will find girls try to do in the ghetto pop music we have in the states .The girls actually sound cute even when they rap and you do not lose that cool summer K-pop vibe.
Video
We as K-pop fans have been hit hard by a barrage of Sexy videos this year even though they lack the sexuality of American videos which borderline on pornography. I like the look of this video regardless of sexiness. Some K-pop artist have given us a cliche of sexy videos but this is one of the first K-pop groups I have seen that really gives us a few blatant Sexual Innuendos but the thing is Sistars' video makes us forget that by switching shots from sexy to cute to sexy and back to cute one thing these young ladies can say is, it is the summer and we are by the pool so we can wear cute swimsuits and they do. Is there a real sax in this? I hope so if it is real it sounds good in this song oh back to the video this pool shot is great I love it. The pool Shot looks like a photograph well anyways I know they are being sexy but I give them a little bit credit and less negativity for their creativity by not being overly in your face nasty sexy. This is just cute and the girls outfits are cute. They do not look like they are going to be doing S&M stuff which I am glad we can almost think of all this as innocent fun and it has a good track that overcomes that extra sexiness you think you would see in this video. Okay I saw the whipped cream thing and I get it but I could listen to this tune without a video maybe they will release a G version for kids.
Lyrics
Touch my body Body
Touch my body Body
Touch my body Body
Touch my body
I know you want it
You come near me
I prepared some wine
Sweet chocolate chocolate
You're soft and sometimes hot
And it's my pool for you
na na na na na na
I see myself through your eyes that have gone red
You drive
My hands just go up to the sky
Yeh baby dancing with me you're my star
Touch my body
We're going quickly little by little
Oh everybody
Higher than the blue sky
I like this rhythm
You and me in the hot sun
My body body
Touch ma body
Baby so good
This feels like paradise
Baby so nice
Our summer night
Little by little one step two step
You and me in moonlight
My body body Touch ma body
Touch my body Body
Touch my body Body
Touch my body Body
Touch my body
Candlelight in your heart that's lighting up one by one
I think they wants us to touch their bodies. It is pop it is not the sayings of Confucius anyways have fun and I look forward to seeing your dance cover.
I have to admit I was intrigued with the sponsoring of Nice Body on what this was going to be all about you have to give it to the Korean market to really hammer you hard with advertising to peak your interest. Every Time you saw the teaser you heard this music and I thought to myself there is no way they are going to use this music boy was I wrong they did use this music. Well since we are on the music lets review the Music.
Music
What do I think about this music? Well I have a pattern music maker as do most DJS' and this is something that my Pattern maker would make and then you would rap to it or announce the next song at a wedding. There is nothing really impressive here maybe the organ does a great fill in here or there but not really impressive beats like you would hear from 4-minute or 2NE1. The Singing is very repetitive and after while the chorus can just get on your nerves the most Impressive thing is Loco's rapping he can lay the rhymes down as someone like myself who has rapped in the past I can tell you it is not easy but I thought this was Hyomin's song not Loco. I wished they would of spent more time on this song they needed to add better and fatter beats instead of the repetitive DJ pattern that would be great for rapping not so good for a singer especially with her solo debut. I would had her sing more take some time and get it right but to me she is just spouting the chorus Nice Body. Her singing could be a little more soulful but she sings each verse with no emphasis it has no feeling to it I really do not feel she is into it. I am not into it either when she sings I am kind of just waiting til Loco to rap but this is not his song!! Now as far before LOco Raps again she does put some effort to it but I don't think they cared that much about the music.
Video
That is sad when you Plagiarize Robin Thicke
At the beginning of the video we see Nice Body make up as the Title which confuses me should that title be for a behind the scenes and not actually part of the video? How many time have you see an actor with makeup on have that they were in make up as the title? There has been a lot of problems with Nice Body well Robin Thicke had accused Hyomin of plagiarizing the car scene that is why we probably do not see the Car scene we were promised in the video. That is okay we still see enough Of Hyomin. The video is rated for all ages and it goes something like this. Hyomin is in a fat suit then we see her walking in the hallway and sometimes on a scooter and the magical golden doughnut. Where do we get those? Where do you get a magical doughnut? Hyomin by the pool, Hyomin Dancing, Loco Rapping. Hyomin's belly and her butt back to her belly and back to her butt. I almost doubt the girl on the pool float is her but who cares. Are we just overexposed to Hyomin's Nice Body get it! That is the title of the freaking song she did release a dance version of this song so I would be happy to see yours. There is nothing wrong with Hyomin's looks she is beautiful but I like music that is my thing. I will say this. I would do a Dance cover to this song it is worthy of that at least but this music is not really my taste as I said before I do better on faster songs dancing that is. I will say this though the Music is better that PSy's Hangover.
Lyrics
Ah yeah You know Brave sound Hyomin, Loco Let's do that Let me see your body move I love that
Any woman would love to show off Any woman goes on a diet at least once When you're a woman, you of course want to receive love The prince of my dreams will certainly appear to me (I take note on everything I want to eat) I live noxiously everyday (I endure all the pains) I'm going to be prettier I'm going to love you more, I'm going to show you more of it I will change, you will see You do deserve it
My body is a nice nice body Legs are very slim, with my hot waist (give me love, give me love, give me love) My body is a nice body As if everyone's surprised they turn back at once to look Now, they can't ignore me
Even you know, that your legs are beautiful, right? Well I know too, when I stare at it I see, that I don't want to win, at least for today anyway You're so hungry you look like a log All of a sudden I meet the best of chances And I mature even more Any man would wish for such a woman Any man, as if they're all the same, love pretty women Every man thinks about sex at least once If only they were thinking about me, would be great if it were me
(I take note on everything I want to eat) I live like I'm noxious everyday (I endure all the pains) I'm going to be prettier I'm going to love you more, I'm going to show you more of it I will change, you will see You do deserve it
My body is a nice nice body Legs are very slim, with my hot waist (give me love, give me love, give me love) My body is a nice body As if everyone's surprised they turn back at once to look Now, they can't ignore me Baby I've gone through so much You don't know hard I worked because of you My nice style, My good feeling style I'm also proud now
My body is a nice nice body Legs are very slim, with my hot waist (You're irritating me now the way you can't your eyes off of me) My body is a nice body As if everyone's surprised they turn back at once to look Now, they can't ignore me
This is a little different than most K-pop songs lyrically but at the same time I do not know if I would go that route of writing a song about a girl going on a diet. This song lyrically does not convey the confidence that we see Hyomin as being in this video there you have it I am interested in seeing your dance cover soon
This has a cute tune and it should be even though we are told to touch the girls' bodies we do not feel nasty . We feel more cute and there is some cute sax keyboard sounds in the song and the girl's rap for us but it feels so fun and like someone typed it is a good summer song it does sound like a summer song of love and it has topped previously summer songs out there. The Introduction of strings is great to re-introduce the young ladies and then we get rocking and we get a wonderful complexity of catchy rhythm for a change which makes a good pop song and also we do not stray from the simplicity hook to get you interested into the song. Like I said there is rapping in the song but it is not that overbearing I am street hood rat rap you will find girls try to do in the ghetto pop music we have in the states .The girls actually sound cute even when they rap and you do not lose that cool summer K-pop vibe.
