Wonder Girls – This Time
Posted by Roland under: Music .
Let’s just get it out there, the Wonder Girls have other songs out there besides “Nobody”. Obviously not as wildly popular here (don’t worry, they’re still going strong in Korea) but they have some quality works. Their recent half album release showcased a few more of their songs in English (besides the new song, “2 Different Tears”, there are also English covers of “So Hot” and “Tell Me”, arguably just as catchy/poppy as “Nobody”).
But it was this song, when I heard it at their concert on Sunday at SF that has broken into the spot I usually reserve for songs that I play over and over for days until I’m sick of them. They actually have an English cover and sang it at the concert, although you can only find relatively spotty fan vids on YT right now. For now, let’s enjoy the original MV in Korean (but with English subtitles)!
I think they’ve got the non-pop ballads down pretty well too. More interestingly, this has a (very small) piece of Yubin, the rapper, actually singing on her own, which I think she does super well and they need to incorporate more in their songs.
