[KPOP] Lee Hyori 'H-Logic' Album


Since I am doing some late reviews, I figured that the Queen of Pop deserves a review too. I absolutely love Lee Hyori. She is brilliant in dancing, singing as well as a comedian in her own right. Despite all the setbacks she suffered when her album was released, she finally claimed triple crown on Inkigayo! So, here's my late review of the Lee Hyori's 4th album, 'H-Logic'.

I'm Back - This song has a very upbeat tempo and it gets me moving to it. Besides that, when she sang this for her comeback stage, it was powered with awesome dancing by the queen. I really liked the fact that she rapped in this song too. [LOVE IT!]

Love Sign (Featuring 상추 of 마이티마우스) - I really don't like this song because of the tempo and the beat. I find it really weird. The rap in this song is weird too. One would think that maybe the rap would make it sound nice but for this song, it didn't really work out right. I am guessing its either the tempo or the melody of this song that isn't working for me. [HATE IT!]

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (Featuring Ceejay of Freshboyz) - I LOVE THIS SONG. It was the first song out of the album that just really screamed HYORI to me. It is a song that suited her style and to put it simply, it was made for her. I like the fast tempo of the song that gets me moving to it and try to mimic her dance steps. Definitely the best song out of this album! [LOVE IT!]

Feel The Same - Another song that I don't really like. This being a semi-slow tempo song made Hyori sound a bit too slow for my liking in this song. And at times, she sounded really strange with that low voice she was making and it made me kinda afraid to carry on listening. [HATE IT!]

Bring It Back (Featuring Bekah of After School & Jiyoon of 4Minute) - Another song I love from this album! I liked how Hyori brought in the popular young rappers from After School and 4minute to sing with her. Bekah and Jiyoon are both awesome rappers and to include them in this hip-hop tempo kind of song makes the song stand out. And, of course, Hyori doesn't really sound like this is her element but she still manages to sound flawless and perfect in this song. [LOVE IT!]

Highlight (Featuring Bizzy) - I didn't like the rapper in the beginning of this song. He was so rude! I do not have a fat finger okay. Anyway, this song sounds a little like what The Pussycat Dolls would sing. Again, this is another song with a hip-hop feel to it. The only thing I don't like about this song is the chorus because I can't really hear Hyori at all. But, its still a pretty okay song. [HMM.]

그네 (Featuring 개리 of 리쌍) - When she first released this song, I didn't really like this song because it sounded a tad bit creepy to me. But, after listening to it again, it is something different and Hyori has never sung a song like this before. I like the western feel to it but at times, I still feel kinda creeped out when the melody and Hyori's voice meets. Its like the kind of song I would hear if I stepped into a haunted house and the lady ghost of the house is singing. No offence, Hyori! [HMM.]


Scandal - The beginning of the song was pretty cute but the part where Hyori kind of goes a little high isn't that pleasing. This song sounds a little like a cheerleader kind of song so I wouldn't be surprised to see cheerleader outfits if Hyori ever performs this song. I really like the telephone conversation in the song where Hyori kinda said a bad word and it was censored. Funny! [LOVE IT!]


100 Percent - This is a kinda weird song because the melody is just really strange and not the kind that I enjoy. At times, the sound effects they have in this song kinda annoys me. And, Hyori kinda sings in one tune only which isn't very appealing to me. The only thing that is a plus in this song is Hyori rapping. Other than that, this song comes off a little annoying. [HATE IT!]


Want Me Back - This is a semi-slow tempo song and I kinda like this song a lot. Even though the tempo and effects in the song can, again, get a little pretty annoying, at least it doesn't get in the way of Hyori singing. [LOVE IT!]


How Did We Get (Featuring Dae Sung of Big Bang) - I really love this song! Its such a cute/sweet duet! With just a simple melody, I like how Hyori sounds here and much prefer her singing here. Coupled with Dae Sung, it is just a beautiful song, in my opinion. Dae Sung is obviously flawless and hearing them together brings back memories of Family Outing. Aww! This song is another of my favorites from this album and it is the song that is played the most on my itunes. [LOVE IT!]


So Cold - Didn't like this song either. Another song that is too slow for my liking despite having beats here and there. Hyori sounded okay here but the song isn't complimenting her vocals at all. [HATE IT!]


Get 2 Know (Featuring Double K) - I like how this song sounds like. This is what I mean by complimenting Hyori's vocals. At least she sounds good and the song sounds good. [LOVE IT!]


Memory (Featuring Bizzy) - I was surprised when I first heard this. There were kids singing this song in the beginning. But, most surprisingly, Hyori's voice is heard beautifully and I like how she sounds in this song together with the cello and slow melody. The interesting part of this song is when she sings with the kids. Although it sounded pretty sad, it is actually quite a beautiful song. [LOVE IT!]


I give this album - 8.5/10
