Dal Shabet are Coming Back to Save K-pop

FLAWLESS

Today Dal Shabet have uploaded both the second teaser for "Joker", which gives us a much better idea as to what the song sounds like than the first, as well as the highlight medley for their eighth mini album "Joker Is Alive". The mini consists of five tracks (possibly six, if an instrumental of "Joker" is included at the end): "To Darling", "홀여", "Joker", "I'm Not", and "OK Boy". It's already revealed that Subin got involved in production for all songs on the mini, and by the sound of the teasers we've been, "Joker" is set to be a fantastic follow-up to the fantastic "B.B.B".

MV Review- SNSD's "Catch Me If You Can" Is Different, But Is That Good?


Let's be honest, 2014 was a horrendous year for Girls' Generation; five dating "scandals" (including the absolute mess of Baekyeon), disappointing performance from both "Mr.Mr." and "Holler", and the departure of Jessica meant the invincible wall they had erected finally started to crumble (the fact that Girl's Day, Apink and SISTAR had been continuously pounding away since 2013 didn't help either). Now it's no secret that whilst they've more or less achieved a status of immortality similar to TVXQ!, their invincibility is at serious risk, and Girls' Generation needed something particularly outstanding to fend off the numerous rising girl groups that are desperate to snatch their throne (including junior label-mates Red Velvet). Many complained that the brilliant "Mr.Mr." was just too generic, and SM have seemingly retaliated by giving us something completely different... but it might just be the worst thing they could do.
