After a long hiatus, I return.
Clazziquai is well known in Korea for their OST soundtrack beats: soft, melodic, and catchy. Clazziquai continues the tradition with Beat in Love, an album seemingly targeted at the international market, as 70% or so of its tracks have all or mostly English lyrics. What impresses me is that Clazziquai’s lead female vocalist, 호란, really performs them well. In a similar move, Cherry Filter’s single Rolling Heart featured an all English version of the title song. The difference between Clazziquai’s English lyrics and Cherry Filter’s is that Clazziquai managed to keep their songs feeling organic, while Cherry Filter seemingly shoehorned English into a Korean template creating an incredible amount of disharmony in the track. Beat in Love, and the Daishi Dance remix of Fiesta are the two major winners, for me, in this album. The rest of the songs in the album are a collection of remixes and remakes all of which are unique in their own respect, it’s hard to not find at least one or two songs you like on the album; this is definitely a Clazziquai album to say the least. Check out the tracks in the music player, they won’t disappoint.※
The infectious and pretty meta-styled MV:
