Infinite "Request" Music Video

Samsung and Infinite have teamed up to promote Samsung's new Galaxy series of products, including the much-anticipated Galaxy Note 3 and Gear Smartwatch. Instead of doing a simple CF, Woolim commissioned a whole song and MV with "Request". The visuals aren't too impressive, it's pretty much them using the Galaxy products while preparing to tour but the song is pretty boss, especially after the kinda lackluster "Destiny."

2AM Club "Heat of The Night"

I'm really getting frustrated. First of all, we have yet to get 2AM Club's second studio album. The "Moon Tower" mixtape only sustained me for so long and though they released newer ones periodically, I want to be able to purchase a physical version. The band has released yet another freebie in the form of "Heat of The Night." This is where the second frustration comes in. Their newer material is screams radio hit, the Dr.Luke-esque drums, the Drake-like lyricism, the all around talent that these guys have, yet I don't see RCA (or whoever they are signed to now) pushing them. At least send them abroad, I'm pretty sure Australia/New Zealand would welcome them with open arms, especially after the success of "Mary" on Kiwi radio. Dudes, I really want that second album. Hopefully with this new single coming in October (that most definitely will change the landscape of alternative rock/pop forever) that we can at least get it in early 2014.

Graded Song:Busker Busker "Love, At First"

After slaying the charts two years in a row with their spring anthem "Cherry Blossom Ending," Busker Busker decided to skip summer and make an autumn inspired second album and release the title track, "Love At First" Borrows heavily from staples of alternative rock back in the late 90s-early 2000s. Think along the lines of Goo Goo Dolls "Iris" or one of Nickelback's less annoying songs. Again we have Beom-Jun Jang utilizing his falsetto, but it sounds lot better and less whiny than in "Cherry Blossom Ending." I'm glad that Busker Busker decided not to follow their same bouncy happy-go-lucky formula.
Final Grade:B
The music shows a couple going through the motions of a break up as they go through their daily routines. It's touching and goes very well with the song. I actually shed some tears. Bravo Busker Busker, bravo!

Chase and Status "Count On Me" Music Video

I'm calling it: Chase and Status's "Count On Me" is one of the best songs of the year *spoiler alert*. It's the most 90s song that I have heard since the UK music scence has latched onto the revival earlier this year and Moko's vocals along with the drum and bass duo's dance-heavy production make it ace as fuck! The music video for "Count On Me" is a conglomeration of the euphoria that the song causes in people, as we see people jamming out in cars, drifting in cars, smoking joints, riding through the streets and partying it up!

F.T. Island "Memory" Music Video

It has been six years since K-Rock band F.T. Island have stepped onto the scene, setting themselves apart from their more polished idol counterparts. The band released a mini album "Thanks To" to commemorate such a monumental event and released a music video for the song "Memory," which really sounds like a J-Rock song. I guess that Japanese sound is really cementing itself into their music since they are really popular there.No word if this will be just a special release or will be promoted on music shows...

Justin Timberlake "TKO"

With part two of "The 20/20 Experience" coming in less than two weeks, we finally get a second single after the Michael Jackson inspired and better-than-Suit-and-Tie-as-a-first-single-choice "Take Back The Night". "TKO" is another throwback JT tune similar to "Cry Me A River" but we also get some "FutureSex/LoveSounds" inspiration. I can't with the college lecture length of his songs lately. Please just released an abridged version of the singles and I will be more than happy to buy the complete albums. Also, it Tmbaland saying "she kill me with that coochie?"
