In Your Arms

Yesterday, Kina Grannis released the music video to "In Your Arms" on her YouTube channel.  "In Your Arms" is a track off her album, Stairwells.  Check out Kina's album, Stairwells, on iTunes!  The music video to "In Your Arms" uses jelly bean art animation throughout the entire video.  Director Greg Jardin had a vision of making a music video using jelly bean art and thought it would match well with Kina's singing style.  According to the music video's description box and the behind the scenes, the project took "22 months, 1,357 hours, 30 people, 2 ladders, 1 camera, 2,460 frames, and 288,000 Jelly Belly jelly beans."  The hard work, dedication, and countless hours paid off in the end because Kina and her team, of talented people, created a beautiful music video.  The jelly bean art animation goes well with the sweet song about staying close to a loved one, not matter what the circumstance is.  Check out the song and the yummy-looking music video to "In Your Arms", below!



It's pretty amazing that the whole music video was not recorded in front of a green screen.  Hard to believe, huh?  Well, check out behind the scenes of "In Your Arms"!       

Tomorrow

Tablo released the second half of his album Fever's End today.  Part 2 of Fever's End features five tracks with collaborations with Taeyang, DJ Tukutz, Yankee and Bong Tae Gyu.  Yesterday, the music video for "Tomorrow" was released on Tablo's YouTube channel.  "Tomorrow" is the first song in Fever's End Part 2, and features Taeyang of Big Bang.  Check out the second half of Tablo's album Fever's End on iTunes!  Currently, Fever's End Part 2 is #1 on the iTunes Store Top 10 Hip Hop Album charts for both the U.S. and Canada.  Like every song in his first solo album, Tablo wrote and produced "Tomorrow".  The track starts out with Taeyang's soulful voice, and proceeds with Tablo's powerful rapping lyrics.  The music video has Tablo and Taeyang walking through the desert, while two cars are circling and weaving around them.  Check out the song and music video to "Tomorrow", below!

Sixth Sense

After about two years, Brown Eyed Girls (BEG) has finally made their comeback. BEG is a girl group in South Korea, under the management of Nega Network, but they are not your typical girl group. The group consists of four members: Jea, Narsha, Miryo and Ga-In.  On September 22nd, BEG released their music video to "Sixth Sense" on their YouTube channel.  The "Sixth Sense" track showcases the amazing vocals of BEG, accompanied by a variety of powerful instrumentals.  The music video keeps you curious as to what will happen from start to finish.  The plot of the music video reminds of a revolutionary movement.  The tagline for the song is "Resistance for Freedom of Expression through Music via Sixth Sense".  Check out the song and music video to BEG's "Sixth Sense", below!

A Game

Aziatix delivered another music video to one of their songs off their album Nocturnal.  On October 10th, Aziatix released the music video to "A Game" on their YouTube channel.  Like I said before, there hasn't been a song that I haven't enjoyed off Aziatix's Nocturnal album.  "A Game" reminds me of one of the warm up songs that would be played before a basketball game.  It is definitely a track that hypes you up.  Check out "A Game" off the Nocturnal album on iTunes.  Majority of the track, Flowsik is spitting rhymes with Eddie and Nicky signing the chorus.  The music video starts off with the guys walking in the streets, possibly on their way to the club.  The music video constantly changes scenes in between the guys of walking in the street, and the guys performing at a night club.  Whoever did the music video editing did a good job, making sure to get the right shot of when each singer is singing, both in the street and the club.  Check out the song and music video to "A Game", below!
