This or That? {2nd Edition}

Ever hear a song that reminds you of another? This is a friendly comparison of videos and songs with similar genres, concepts and themes.

 Ladies' Code Galaxy v. Red Velvet Automatic

Recently, Ladies' Code made a comeback with "Galaxy". I noticed that the stunning visuals in the MV are similar to Red Velvet's Automatic. The aesthetics in both videos include tables of food, black & white classy clothes and members dancing expressionlessly. As for the songs, Galaxy and Automatic both are rather serious with R&b undertones.

• Ladies' Code - Galaxy
• Red Velvet - Automatic

My Choice: Both are pretty songs/videos but I prefer the lighter visuals of Galaxy. Ladies' Code focuses on white, while Red Velvet's MV is mainly black.

Theme: I Miss You/Longing
Songs with a [♥] are my preference/a personal favorite.

girl groups in term of vocals.

Bii's music has consistently good quality.

9. 2ne1 - Missing You
Korean ♥
This song is an absolute favorite of mine. 2ne1 doesn't do
ballads often, but when they do, they're far from typical.

Playlist1.(Bonus)

Theme: Love and Hate (Bonus)
Songs with a [♥] are my preference/a personal favorite.

There are some songs that I didn't add to the first list, so here's a small bonus.

1.Ailee - I Love You, I Hate You

Korean

This is one of those songs that starts out with dialogue, then the

melody rolls in.

2. Jasmine - I Hate You

Japanese

Jasmine is a DJ, and so her early songs are upbeat. Couldn't find any audio

so here's the lyrics to the song.

3. BoA - Love And Hate

Korean

A slow, laid back track from "k-pop pop queen" Boa Kwon.

4. BTS- Love is Not Over

Korean ♥ 

This outro song features only the vocal line-up of BTS. It has a refreshing 

sound and is a good closure for the album

Orange Caramel Aing v. Cocosori Dark Circles

       

Orange Caramel is known for their odd but amusing songs like Aing. It's a sweet bubblegum pop tune about a girl liking a boy. In the MV the girls dance around in plastic cosplay outfits. But new girl Duo Cocosori proves they can be just as weird and charming! The pair dances to "Dark Circle" (also) wearing plastic-y dresses, interacts with a broccoli-man (yes, a broccoli man) and sing about getting bags under their eyes. Both songs are in upbeat trot with kitschy music videos!

• Orange Caramel - Aing~
• CocoSori - Dark Circle

My Choice: OC is one of my favorite girl groups,  but i'll have to choose Cocosori!

Playlist 1.Love & Hate

Theme: Love and Hate
Songs with a [♥] are my preference/a personal favorite.

♡

1. Miss A - Love Song

Korean ♥

Rather than the lyrics, the music makes this song.This was the second best song of "Colors".

2. 2NE1 - I Love You

Korean ♥

This song sounds great in acoustic too. 

3. G.E.M. - A.I.N.Y

Mandarin

From what I can tell, this song is very popular and is one of Gem's earlier tracks.

5. Big Bang - Love Song

Korean ♥

"Love Song" is perhaps my favorite Big Bang song. The line distribution is seemingly even and every member shines.

6. By2 - Love You Love You

Mandarin ♥

Every now and then, I like to listen to a fun obnoxious song to lighten my mood, 

7. A-Mei - Do You Still Want To Love Me?

Mandarin ♥

A-Mei Zhang has a very clear, crisp voice. I've never payed much attention to her 

before this but now I know better,

 ✘

8. Ladies' Code - Hate You

Korean ♥

This song is so underrated and didn't get much attention. Maybe because the

video is a little creepy?

9. Lucky J - No Love 

Korean ♥
I love, love, love Lucky J. The members complement each other so

well. Too bad this is only their second song as of now.

10. G-Dragon - That XX
Korean

This is one of his older songs, from the early G-Dragon days.

11. 4minute - Hate 
Korean ♥

At first listen, the chorus didn't seem the fit, but now I just consider it a 

musical plot twist. 

12. 2NE1 - Hate You 
Korean ♥

A great 2NE1 song. No other explanation needed.

13. 4minute- No Love
Korean

This is song is really good, produced well, nice rap, Not a genre

I typically listen to, but i'll recognize the quality of this

14. 2NE1 - Go Away
Korean

What I really like is the music video. It's movie-ish, The song is okay

too, I could have did without certain things, but still nice.
