INDIVIDUAL SONGS
oo1.
Epik High
Fly
• One of the soul flowing songs in Epik High's third album aptly entitled Swan Songs, member Tablo has been known to sing this song at kvariety shows such as Love Letter and X Man. This korean hiphop group prides itself in collaborations with many of other musicians within the business, and rightly so. Bottom line: a nice song to be hyper and calm at the same time.

Jang Riin feat. Junsu of DBSK
Timeless
• Novice Jang Riin has been causing waves within the kpop scene even before her debut. Dubbed as the "next BoA" her debut was anticipated by fans and spectators alike. Here she collaborates with Xiah Junsu, one fifth of the famous Dong Bang Shin Ki, her fellow SM Entertainment talent. Not my particular cup of tea but she has a good strong voice that opens her to a broader improvement in the future. The point that caught my attention however was Junsu's singing--proving that he is indeed more than qualified to be part of DBSK.

HOT & SES
Greatest Love of All
• One of the few instances where two legendary pop groups in Korea come together to sing one song. Famed boyband HOT does a duet with the female trio of SES in this rendition of the popular English song. For those of you turned off by Engrish, this song here is not so bad, with both groups offering much effort into perfection. This track is a rip from a stage performance.
