It’s becoming {that a} track from Lee Jung Hyun comes up on shuffle for this function at present! She was not too long ago (lastly!) given her personal tribute episode of the favored Immortal Songs collection and watching it was an actual deal with. Not solely have been there some nice covers of her materials (Jo Kwon’s was the most effective!), however she additionally gave her first efficiency in a decade.
Referred to as the “queen of ideas” and the “techno queen” of Okay-pop’s first technology, Lee Jung Hyun is certainly one of my favourite artists of her period. I’ve written about my favourite Jung Hyun track a pair instances already on the weblog, however Loopy emerges from a newer period in her profession. After all, it’s all relative as a result of 2009 isn’t very latest anymore, however her music profession has been on a prolonged hiatus.
On Immortal Songs, rookie boy group Shut Your Eyes coated Loopy. They have been advantageous however positively not the strongest of the evening. Neither is Loopy Jung Hyun’s strongest single, truly. It sees her updating her banging techno sound for a brand new period, fusing orchestra accents with spooky synths and a pointy, virtually Michael Jackson beat. Jung Hyun’s vocal is stuffed with its typical presence — a mix of chirpy cuteness and punky aggression. Loopy may do with higher mixing (that is 2009, in any case) however its bones are robust and it has greater than sufficient persona to face in opposition to its contemporaries. We’re lengthy overdue for a brand new Jung Hyun album and if her latest efficiency is any indication she’s greater than up for the duty.
