Album Review: EXO "Overdose"

EXO-K

Overdose 
SM Entertainment
Released: May 9th
Thanks to the Korean public, EXO went from just another idol group with some buzz to an actual threat to established K-Pop boybands. Last year's "Wolf" was a daring move by parent company SM Entertainment, which ultimately was overshadowed by Girls Generation's "I Got A Boy" in terms of western buzz. Then the "Growl" re-release came in August and overstayed its welcome way into the end of year ceremony season. " With SM finally making some legitimate bank from the half Korean, half Chinese group, "Overdose" was born. Unfortunately, the only drug that would probably match the album would be Valium or tranquilizers.

Kiss&Cry "Revenge (Bad Girl)"

The girls of Kiss&Cry have yet to be topped with their harmonizing, handclap happy earworm "Domino Game" being one of the best K-Pop songs of the year. Their follow-up single "Revenge" is more soul-pop driven number that still has the girls vocals as the center of attention. The video is a mess though.

Jesse McCartney "Superbad"

Jesse McCartney is trying his hand with the retro R&B sound, as we heard with his single "Back Together". The "She's No You" singer's latest single "Superbad" continues that trend that will make up his "In Technicolor" album.

Michael Jackson "Do You Know Where Your Children Are?"

The 2nd Posthumous MJ album since his untimely death in 2009 "Xscape" is already gaining positive reviews from critics and fans alike ahead of its official release date, probably because it's actually Michael's vocals and Akon is nowhere to be found. 

Lana Del Rey "West Coast" Music Video

Lana Del Rey's "West Coast" video hit the internet a bit earlier than expected.

EXO "Overdose" Music Video

I already gave my opinion about "Overdose" when the song first leaked so there's no need to reiterate that's it's pretty basic. The video is finally out after their comeback was postponed due to the Sewol Ferry incident and it does nothing to make the song worth a second listen.

Akdong Musician "Give Love" Music Video

Sibling duo Akdong Musician hold on the charts won't let up! The duo returned to the summit of Gaon this week with "200%" and have dropped the video for their third title track, "Give Love".
