The Black Skirts' International Love Song.

It's K-Indie time!

Oh yes, this is a segment that is designed for those who wanted to venture into the awesome Korean indie world.


Moving on to the next song I stumbled upon recently (about a day ago):

The Black Skirts' International Love Song. 

I was so blown away by the simplicity of this song the first time I heard it. Thisone man-band completely threw the stereoptype perception of Korean music industry.  He has produced quality songs that certainly have attracted music listeners from outside of Korea. And this particular one is dedicated to their international fans. One other starking element of this song is the usage of English in the entire song! Aren't we all (especially those who are into K-Pop *cough me cough*) tired of the cheesy and the mispronounced English wordsin most K-Pop songs? I know I am!

Sidenote: The singer, Bryan Cho, is a Korean-American. He returned to Korea after being in the America since he was twelve.


You know what would complement this song so beautifully? Rainy day. Imagine yourself sipping a cup of well roasted coffee in a cute coffee shop. What more could you ask for other than this song to accompany your lonely rainy night?

Its gloomy tune directly conveys the message and the main theme of this song. I could almost taste the loneliness that the singer feel. The longing of a company, the loved one.

So folks, erase those typical perceptions of Korean music acts. In fact, there are plenty of other good K-indie acts like Standing Egg and Nell. Hopefully I'll get to review their songs in the new future!

'Til then, enjoy the rest of the day with your favorite Indie tunes!
