SONG RECO OF THE WEEK: Rainbow

It's an english language Filipino song (English is our country's second language).

Original artist: South Border

Covered by: Michael Pangilinan.

One of the rare times I like the cover more than the original.

I think the lyrics of the bridge is too cheesy but the rest of the song is great.

8/10

RAINBOW LYRICS:

Fallin' out, fallin' in
Nothing's sure in this world no, no
Breakin' out, breakin' in
Never knowin' what lies ahead

KOREAN NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DROPS ADOR CASE

BLACKPINK LISA'S NEW SINGLE - 'MOONLIGHT FLOOR'

At some point, she needs to start singing live. AT LEAST, sing the major parts even if there is a backtrack.

You can see when she actually just gave up on lip syncing.

However, I still commend her for continuously releasing a new song, performing live, and having this one sound different from her first two.

Here's to hoping she grows to put some more substance in her beats and lyrics.

Do you like the song?

EFFECTS OF NH Investment & Securities Lowering HYBE's Earnings Projections

source: https://m.kmib.co.kr/view.asp?arcid=0020565435

The conflict between Min Hee-jin and HYBE has escalated after HYBE, the parent company of ADOR, rejected the demand to reinstate Min Hee-jin as the CEO of ADOR, which manages the girl group NewJeans. Due to this unresolved dispute, NewJeans’ upcoming album production has been halted, raising concerns about HYBE’s future performance.

Min Heejin Guarantees She Will Win Against Hybe

source: https://m.entertain.naver.com/article/311/0001776366 

TLDR: Former ADOR CEO Min Hee-jin explained that she’s fighting back against HYBE despite the legal fees reaching 2.3 billion won, as they keep filing lawsuits to drain her resources. She’s determined to win, saying she’s innocent and won’t back down even if it means selling her house. Min Hee-jin plans to document the en...

The New Song Of New Jeans

For those of you who don't have Twitter. Min Heejin shared a new track of New Jeans in her talk for the Hyundai event.

While I appreciate beats, I am one of those who constantly look at both the beats and lyrics so I can only judge the 50% of it.

And the 50% of it is in the same family as all their other releases. I think she is going to stay consistent with their tone and feel if she continues to produce for NJ.
