And so we see yet another week with the Top Band contestants doing well on the chart. Although in a way I would’ve had even more hope for the future of indie music in Korea had they dominated the top I Am A Singer style, it’s great to see that the show at least has some impact.
The new additions to the TOP100 list are the following: 12. Poe – Paper Cup [Top Band] 21. Ibadi – Voyage 23. Ibadi – Morning Call (remix ver.) 25. Acoustic Collabo – Waiting For U [MV] 27. Acoustic Collabo – 사진 37. J Power – Confess [Top Band] 43. Kim Jae Hee – 캐신의 전설 49. Lee YounHyuk Band – 할라피뇨 [solo live] 65. Sweetpea – 섬
Acoustic duo Acoustic Collabo released first album Unplugged on October 10. It gathers all the songs from the duo’s previous releases: Love Is The Key, Makes Sweet Love and 한여름 밤의. To hear more of their sound, check out the old music videos: Promise, Love Valentine.
On October 13 Ibadi released second full length album Voyage. It’s been three and a half years since the album debut, but fans have continuously been treated to new songs from the modern folk/acoustic pop band fronted by Clazziquai‘s Horan since. The new album includes an album version of the three year old Listen Campaign track 두근두근, a steel guitar version of Songs for Ophelia track Curtain Call as well as a classic version of 탄야 from the same EP, a remix version of Morning Call from the 지금 사랑하지 않는 자, 모두 유죄 single, and a remix version of 산책 from the single with the same name.
Boohwal‘s 4th album vocalist Kim Jae Hee has been releasing a number of solo albums over the past decade and a half, but on October 12 came his first digital single, aptly titled 김재희 싱글 Vol.1.
Singer/songwriter Lee YounHyuk has gotten himself a band and together released the first single, Debut, on October 7.
