K R&B [One Way]

We've been a fan of R&B music since we were young so we were excited to hear Korean R&B songs. One of our favourite K R&B groups has to be One Way. Although it's been almost 2 years since they've debuted, I still feel like they're underrated.
One Way (원웨이) consists of three members: Chance (leader & vocalist), Peter (vocalist) and Young Sky (rapper).

Their debut song back in March 2010 was 'One Way' however, it was actually their song 'Magic' that made us love them. It has the perfect blend of soul and emotion. Seriously, we had it one repeat for months, even copying the choreography for the chorus (although we looked rather silly doing it). Check it out below:


Another song on their first album that caught our eye, or ear for that matter, was 'U Drag'. As all the members are fluent English speakers we have no trouble understanding them when they speak English. I find it hard to class this song in a particular genre, it's a bit of everything which is why we grew to love it.


They released their second album in January 2011 and it was just as amazing as the first.
My personal favourite on the album is the title song, 'Rainy Day's' which features JunSu from 2PM. I absolutely adore 2PM and JunSu is my favourite member so I was ecstatic that two of my favourite bands were collaboratining. (Yes, I am overusing the word 'favourite'. Lol. But honestly I love them both)


As well as Chance's solo track 'A Thousand Words'.


As well as the amazing songs that One Way make, which they actually compose and write themselves, they have been making many other songs for various KPop idols. Chance has composed a few songs for Super Junior, B1A4 and others. Recently, Peter and Sky actually wrote Super Junior's Donghae and Eunhyuks addictive song 떳다 오빠 (Oppa Has Risen). You can even see them at the start of the MV:


Keep your eye out for One Way in the near future guys~! ^^
