B.K. In da house!

ugh...it's just getting worse. I'm supposed to go to my japanese class, but the flu just keeps getting worse, so I had no choice to post-pone it yet again. Tomorrow's my last driving class, but i don't know if I'll be ok...

Well, since nothing really happened to me today, let me review you to my new favourite duo:

Bennie K

Bennie K is a J-Urban female duo that consists of rapper CICO and vocalist YUKI, who both love American hip-hop music. They met while YUKI was in Los Angeles undergoing voice training with Roger Burnley. They made their debut in January, 2001 with the single Melody, released on the For Life Music label.

Bennie K's songs usually combine Japanese and English — their English is more fluent than most Japanese singers. Their 4th album debuted at #1 on the Oricon Album charts. (Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bennie_K)

Cico's raps can be funny at times like being a giddy girl and all, but she's really cool. Yuki's vocals.. are just serene. One of the best singers I've heard ever. Well, these ain't the only reasons I like them. Their musics are really different than any other Japanese artists. Some of their songs are latin-inspired, and there are a few that are arabic-like, country and pop-rock. I also like that their songs are really upbeat, encouraging and more happy-go-lucky type compared to their earlier songs (which were a bit depressing and angry-type). Other than that, CICO can really dance!

I'd recommend listening to their albums Japana-rhythm and The World. I'm gonna put up some of their songs in this blog.

Well, looks like this entry lives up to the URL. I'd probably post more about my favourite artists. Heehee.
