★★★★ (Fe Productions; King Record) GaYo, Female, Ballad

==== HongCho, 1996 ====

This is her third album. It was produced by KimHyeonCheol. He also wrote several songs and sang on a couple of them. Most of songs have very hip rhythms. I picked this CD before I bought her second album. I didn't know she existed back then. I didn't know about her, but I just bought this CD because I recognized her name from other CDs she did backing vocals. Well, what luck I had.

Some people think she is out of her career since she got married and had a girl. But I really don't understand that kind of thoughts that is prevailing in the KoreanPop music scene. I like her singing, and that's why I am listening to her.

Hong's recommendation: Well, it's hard to choose, since I like all of them. I guess I will leave it up to you. :)

==== DisTort, 1999 ====

I think she is representative female voice of GaYo. I don't say she is the best singer. She has most codes of female voice of GaYo. GaYo scene is divided to dance music and ballad scene. She and LeeEunMi represent the ballad part, FinKL, SeS. and EomJeongHwa represent the dance music part. Few female artist does Rock like JaURim. Anyway GaYo scene includes Pop, Rock, Dance, Ballad, HipHop and mixes with Korean sympathy. This album produced by KimHyeonCheol so tastes his own style. She shows very good manner and power in the concert.

(Doremi Records)

==== HongCho, 1999-01-31  ====

Okay... What was the reason that I keep buying her CDs? :) I don't know... I am still hoping for an album like her third. Maybe, I am just hopeless.

When I heard that Sohn, Moo Hyun was producing the album with an emphasis on the Latin beat, I thought this might be better than her last one, and hoped that maybe, just maybe it would be closer to her third one in mood. Oh, well. Can't they just leave out these dance thumping beats? Grrr... Maybe, I might be able to like the last track, DalKomHan SangSang...

Bottom line: Well, this ain't it...

4 Moskito (1997)

 

==== HongCho, 1997-11-01 ====

This is a single album containing four tracks of three songs. The album cover can deceive you: although the cover picture might fool you too believe that this is a funky dance album (with Ms. Jang wearing a very red/orange hair-do), this is a very soft ballade album. I still miss her third album.
