‘The Great Escape’ was NELL’s follow up track of their album, “Newton’s Apple’. The title song is called “Four Times Around The Sun’.  Unlike its title track, ‘The Great Escape’ includes more of a rock vibe, with drum beats and electric guitars leading ahead. NELL’s vocalist especially brings out the best charms of the song, making it a good song to listen along to.

LeeSsang (리쌍) – 주마등 (Feat. MI-WOO)

In anticipation for LeeSsang’s new album, 주마등 (Kaleidoscope) was pre-released as a digital single, further adding excitement towards Leessang’s long-awaited comeback. 주마등 (Kaleidoscope) is an artistic sense and sensibility of a mystical attraction. We start to draw melodies of Gary speaking the language of his superior force which can represent a real value from this song once again exerting ‘ kaleidoscope ‘. It also featured Gary’s raps and unchanging soul sensibilities of Gil’s vocals, along with the funny charm boys decorated climax female vocal MI-WOO (Wu), adding a harmony of illusions.

[Underrated Kpop] 5DOLLS _ 너 말이야 (Your Words)

Video

In 2010, there was a group called CO-ED SCHOOL, which was the only co-ed kpop group at the time. They debuted with a few tracks, until they decided to make male and female subunits. Thus, 5DOLLS and SPEED were created.

The original 5DOLLS consisted of the four original females of CO-ED SCHOOL, Lee Soo-mi, Heo Chan-mi, Ryu Hyo Young and Jin Hye-won, and the addition of a new member Seo Eun-kyo. In 2011, they released two promotional tracks, ‘입술자국 (Lip Stains)’ and ‘너 말이야 (Your Words)’. As they are under MBK Entertainment (formerly known as Core Contents Media), they did release heavily story-plot-based music videos, following their labelmates, T-ARA.

Unfortunately, due to lesser popularity, 5DOLLS did not receive the attention needed to reach stardom. After promoting their last song as 5DOLLS, ‘Like This or That’, a long haitus, member changes, and a new name, F-VE DOLLS was created.

On March 2015, MBK Entertainment announced the disbandment of F-VE DOLLS (formerly 5DOLLS).
