Single Review: 2NE1's Ugly

So the new 2NE1 song dropped a few days ago. This time I decided to give myself some time to listen to it before writing up.

2NE1 have always been near the forefront of the "bolder girl group" movement. If there was a scale of girl group "boldness", with 1 being low and rather girly, and 10 being rather bold with hints of power, Dal Shabet would rate 2, SNSD would rate about 6, and 2NE1 at 9.

Naturally, being one of the fore-runners of this movement have led to immense pressure to live up to expectations, but fortunately, the girls (and YG entertainment) have always met them, leading to success.

As a result expectations are high with this new song, so it would be interesting to see if they are met.

Single review: miss A's Good Bye Baby & CSJH (Dana & Sunday)'s One More Chance

Having in the last few weeks heard a lot of very girly songs from the likes of Girl's Day and A-Pink, it was refreshing to hear over the past fortnight songs that were less on girls calling on their "oppas", and more on girls asserting their boldness on the various parts of their life.

The first one to call "Unnies unite" was SM senior outfit CSJH, who feature two members Dana and Sunday in their latest outing, "One More Chance", with JYP's latest girl group miss A following with "Good Bye Baby".

One is a girl group making a comeback after lying low for 4 years (an eternity in K-pop land), while another is one that burst onto the scene last year, capturing the public's attention with their bold front, sweeping awards in the process.

So which impressed more?
