i've been thinking over the previous post on KDW and realised that i'm hardly flattering KDW's first solo effort. Well, if you're a great fan of K-pop and the type of R&B popularly preferred, you probably wouldn't understand how tiring and monotonous it is to get the same sound all the time. M's latest album for example is (to me) quite an extreme R&B, hip-hop, dance combination which though, cool and sort of sexy lacks a little emotion, coming across cold at times. (sorry, dear but i loved your first album much more than this one. Though, i cannot deny that it's very individual, sexy and truly M).

Anyway, in the eyes (or rather, ears) of someone who's been listening to all sorts of Asian pop, Dongwan's album will be classified as something commercial and easy listening. But it has a lot of sincerity which reflects what i think KDW wants to say. He's moderate, really and compared to OTT M, he's just nice. I suppose this does come also from the fact that he'll definitely be compared to Hye Sung (being second vocal as opposed to HS's main in Shinhwa), whereas it's probably impossible to beat M for that flambouyancy. Thus, KDW is just nice la, not OTT and not sentimental.

Whatever it is, i like the album for all that it is.

Will Jay please lend me Hye Sung's album?
