HIGH4, Lim Kim - A Little Close

HIGH4, Lim Kim - A Little Close Lyrics [Rom/Han/E…: http://youtu.be/LynPEoYWEos

Here is another great example of how underground K-Pop artists do an amazing job of creating a unique sound. From the first syncopated notes from the electric piano,  you can tell it's going to be a smooth tune. However, it does begin to pick up pace, and a fantastic drum kit gives this song the dash of hip-hop vibes it needs to keep you interested. However, just when you think you have figured out how the vocals of this song were going to be--Lim Kim starts singing. The guys of HIGH4 have fairly predictable sounds to their voices,  but her's is something truly amazing. The hushed, almost whispered tones, swooping tonal changes and the feel of a 1920's jazz starlet instantly reminded me of Lana del Rey, one of my favorite female vocalists. Kim's voice, in contrast to the four male voices, creates a musical illustration which truly stands out. Enjoy!
