Kang Gary from the hip hop duo Leessang has released his first solo mini album on the 15th January 2014. Leessang released their first on 27th June 2002.
Kang Garys popularity has recently grown because of the hit variety show Running Man which first aired 11th June 2010. He has been a fixed member from the start of the show, throughout the show fans have been drawn to his charms and his on screen love line with member Song Ji Hyo. This has lead to the two being called 'Monday Couple'.
So the hip hop geniuses, LeeSsang, are back with their fantastic new album, Unplugged. We are huge fans of LeeSsang so this album was definitely long overdue. This album is composed of 13 song and the legendary duo experiment with various genres of music in this album from rock to samba.
Since there are 13 song, it is quite difficult to give a breakdown of each song so I'll just pick out my favourite songs on the album.
LeeSsang - 행복을 찾아서 (The Pursuit of Happiness)
This song is definitely one of those song that I'll still be playing in 10 years and still not be tired of. The fluid rapping complements the harmonious singing. After reading the lyrics, I fell in love with the song. They're not just typical lyrics about love or partying, but about Gary's struggle and finding happiness. So the meaningfulness of the lyrics is just beautiful.
LeeSsang - 겸손은 힘들어 (Hard To Be Humble)
Honestly, when I first heard this song I had no idea what to think about it because I was so focused on the hilarious music video that I wasn't focus on the song. But after replaying the video and actually listening to the song, it was so catchy that I couldn't help but bob my head along to it.
LeeSsang - Bururi (feat. Jung In)
Another song that I like on the album is Bururi. The song has a solemn and eerie vibe to it but there is something about it that makes it unique and draws me in.
Overall, LeeSsang have lived up to their legendary status with this album. It proves that no matter what genre the duo try, the song always turns out great with a LeeSsang flavour to it.
Baek Ji Young (백지영) has released her new single titled 'Voice' which features Leessang's Gary. This is the first single to her upcoming mini-album. Baek Ji Young is a legend when it comes to ballands, she has an amazing voice and is the Queen of sound tracks. Leessang (리쌍) are also releasing their new album this summer so be sure to stay tuned on what we think.
I've been playing this song on repeat and can't wait to her new mini-album I am sure it will be filled with more amazing songs. Baek Ji Young's jacket album is eye catching and different the minimalist design makes it more appealing.
