thanks for the link =)


i just heard the main track feat. wheesung and wow it sounds so different compared to her main track on her 1st album. It'll take me a while to get used to the song

edit: going to critic the album

the ones on bold are the tracks that i like in the album.

track 1: wow i love the beat of the song...but the only thing that kind of turned me off was that high pitch child voice....other then that, I could put this song in repeat mode and can never get tired of it ^^.

track 2: this song feat. Wheesung...making it bold is probably the main track. This song was really different even though it still has that weird high pitch voice, but one thing i like about this song is the bridge. I like how she used her voice and the tune. One thing that made this song different is that they added a fur elise remix in it which really catchy. I thought this song was going to be a ballad since it feat. wheesung, but instead he rapped in the song.

track 3: Very nice ballad. It didn't catch my attention...not very powerful and not something I would listen constantly, but something to listen to when I'm relaxing

track 4: Another catchy kind of slow/fast beat music. The only thing that people might get annoyed from this song is that continous beat in the background...other then that, her voice sounds really nice in this song.

track 5: Very upbeat and happy music with an add of electric guitar to it. Quite catchy music and something I would listen to when I feel down. This song makes me feel happy hehehe.

track 6: another nice ballad to listen. I think this ballad is better then track 3. In this song she uses her soft and gentle voice making the song more appealing to listen to. The piano in the background sounds really good as well =).

track 7: The guitar and her beautiful voice makes this song worthwhile to listen to. I love this ballad song the best....very beautiful and relaxing. For some reason this song reminds me of Taebin feat. Kim Ji Eun - forgot the song title though xD. If Ivy had to choose a ballad song for her next MV i reccomend this song to be it =)

track 8: Fast beat song...kind of reminds me of ah-ha...its an okay song, but not something wow factor.

track 9: Sounds something in the past music...another happy music to add. Very different style compared to the other tracks. Not something I would listen to though...

track 10: I think Ballads makes Ivy's voice so rich and beautiful to listen to. Heres another ballad that is really nice to listen to. I like the way she sings in this song going from soft voice to powerful.

track 11: Kind of fast upbeat music...the only annoying part of this song is the chorus...other then that not something I would listen to..

track 12: Very very catchy upbeat music which i like...but for some reason it reminds me of another song...can't my finger in it though.

I'll go review the last two tracks later...i'm going to be late for school cya =)

Ivy's new album is out! download and sample it at http://www.z-degrees.net

WOW, thanks!!!! I can not wait to hear her new album!!^^

[csnrain]

anyone know when her comeback performance is?

[nGk2M]

i ABSOLUTELY love her voice...
her first two songs are a little different, but it's growing on me
i think ivy can pull it off...
and yeah, some may argue her voice is kinda annoying in cupido and temptation sonata, but i think she's really good at singing :]
You know, there are singers who sing like that to cover up their lacking strong vocals, but ivy STILL sounds good
Her ballads are very good. I think her singing has gotten even better from the first album.
I do agree i was kinda like "what the heck" when i heard temptation sonata was gonna be her title song, but like i said, i think she can pull it off. It has a nice beat and it's different from what we normally hear.
I'm glad park geuntae produced her album. I can kinda tell that it's his style....some of her fast songs kinda have a "hyori feel" to it, if that makes sense. LOL Anyway, but point is...THIS IS A MUST HAVE ALBUM

Singer Ivy to Represent Reebok in Korea



Singer Ivy has been chosen to be the Korean face of global sports brand Reebok, joining other world stars representing the company including Hollywood actress Scarlett Johansson, French soccer player Thierry Henry, NBA player Allen Iverson, and first Chinese NBA player Yao Ming.

Reebok said that it chose the singer as its model because it not only thought highly of her confident and stylish image but also thought that her sincerity and challenging spirit match its brand value.

Having worked as models for seven companies such as MP3 player company Iriver and LG Household and Health Care since she made her debut in 2005, Ivy will begin representing the sports company in Korea in March.

edit

1. I love the beat... but like Ian said, the high-pitched voice got annoying in the chorus, but I liked the beginning bit... it's different, I'll give her that!
   This would be an interesting song to perform! Haha~
2. LOVES IT! Oh my BuddAa~ hella AWESOME! I love the mix of classic & modern music... Again, I'm interested to see her perform this O_O lol.
   "Baby you don't have to worry, everything's alright~"
   I'm glad we got to hear her beautiful voice near the end though lol...
3. Okay, I have to admit - I'm not a big fan of ballads. They have to have some catchy tune for me to LOVE them (like "I Am A Fool" did~)
   /)_(\
   Her voice sounds beautiful though~
4. O_O... "Get Up" remake? The beginning I thought anyway
   This would be a good driving song hehe~
   Ever... ever... ever... o_o...
5. Hmm, feels like a filler. I'm indifferent about this song, don't really like like it, don't dislike it
6. I like this ballad more than #3...
   (I think I would appreciate these ballads a lot more if I understood them ...)
7. A simple, sweet song v
8. "Ivy, she's hot and poison-ousssssssssssssssssss"
   Hell yes. <3
9. HA! I was reminded of the theme music to Baywatch in the beginning, LMAO.
   I'm not too crazy about this one
10. This one, the melody sounds REALLY familiar. It sorta reminds me of Vibe's "That Man, That Woman", but something else too...
11. Lol, Petey Pablo's Freek-A-Leek beat, eat your heart out. Well, sorta. The beginning anyway
    Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeea I like this one
    Her voice sounds awesome, very edgy~
12. BOOYAH <3
    Yup love it~
13. Ooooh~ very sexy, this one~
    Can see Ivy in a jazz bar, by a piano, in a sexy dress, singing all about this Antonio~
    All English? Awesomeeeeeee~
14. (Lol how many songs are there called "I Know"? )
    Ohhh all English~ <3
    A sweet ballad~

Something different, and awesome. Loveeeeee it.
I preferred her upbeat songs to her ballads though, but that's just me~

Favourites;
1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 12, 13


How many songs were produced by PGT?
And did she do any of the writing or anything...?

[BishieAddict]

wow.. her english is awesome... did she have any formal training?. i'm listening to I Know.. could anyone please list the tracklist for her first album please (translated)?

[buaydong]

ah, thank so much. finally her ablum is out !!

[yma818]

YAYYYYYY. ive been waiting for her album. now she needs to do a comeback performance. I miss seeing her on stage.

[Finir]

Love Ivy but doesn't Track 1 on her second album sound exactly like Toxic by Britney Spears?

[suejinners]

OMG FINALLY

OKay



1- C♡pido (Cupid-o) Yes, the it sounds really similar to britney's toxic, but it still has its own different sound. Ivy's voice kinda surprised me in this song... I didn't know she was capable of sounding so high and sexy lol.
Its getting good responses from the netizens.

2- 유혹의 소나타 (feat. Wheesung) is her dance title song. I love the part where she says "Baby you don't have to worry everything's alright." and the slow part i guess its the bridge! They took Fur elise and took nice use of it in this upbeat dance song. I admit that her high pitched voice in this song as well as cupido reminds me of Kim Yoon ah of Jaurim! does anyone else think so? other wise im soo going to anticipate her live performance on this!!!

3- 이럴거면 The composer of the song was Park Geun Tae. The song is nice. But its not that catchy as her first ballad song.

4- Ever Yes its highly influenced by Ciara. it says so on the post i made in the page before this. Its simple and the beat is nice. Nothing really stands out about this song.. after listening to track 1&2 though... Sounds like a mix of ciara's hotline-getup. but the more i listen to it the more i likeit

5- 1 to 10 Its like her cute-lively song in the album. its nice. but not somthing ill remember.

6- 이별이 다 그렇죠 this is the korean version of track 14. this ballad is nice

7- 그날까지 i love the acoustic guitar~. And her voice sounds really clear.

8- 좋아 (feat. Red Roc) its a nice beat.

9- The Message (from IVY)This song is by new composer Kim Tae Hyun. the lyrics are nice. the beat sounds very old school~ tv show theme song-ish~! LOL

10- 사랑아 어떻해 nice ballad, i love her voice in this one also.

11-Nu Trend This song is by new composer Kim Tae Hyun. nice beat. i think ill like it a lot more if i listened to it couple more times.

12- Gotta DoThis song is by new composer Kim Tae Hyun. i like this song better then nu trend. KTH worked on Anyclub with PGT so i can totally hear some anyclub in little bits. The more i listen to it the more i lvoe it

13- Antonio's song This song is a remake of Michael Frank's antonio's song. I love her voice in here. like YEN said i can totally picture her in a jazz bar-club... singing by the piano. very sexy.

14 - I know Its the english version of track 6. IVY DID THE LYRICS TO THIS TRACK HERSELFFF!!!!!!!


Over all the first 2 tracks stand out so much compared to the other songs.. i didn't really matter that her voice sounded somewhat annoying cause it stuck with me.

Yeah so Ivy did write the lyrics for track 14! the english version of track 6 ^______^ awesome
Park Geun tae produced the whole album.
Kim tae hyun is a new composer. He helped Park geun tae make Hyori's anyclub. In Nu trend & Gotta do he brought some popular newyork club beats in it. HE said the same for when he did anyslub with PGT

overall this album touched different genres and was pretty good. It also showed her different sides. i kinda expected more than this though but all the songs are starting to grow on me more and more. but im still happy shes out!!!!!

i can't wait to see her dancing!!! im really curious about her choreography and her clothes!

-edit
just read an article

her company is upset her album got leaked before its release(the 12th).
Ivy is too of course.
i think they are taking legal action.
Its been a year and 7 months since we last seen her perform.
she will perform starting in March.

[roujin]

2- 유혹의 소나타 (feat. Wheesung) is her dance title song. I love the part where she says "Baby you don't have to worry everything's alright." and the slow part i guess its the bridge! They took Fur elise and took nice use of it in this upbeat dance song. I admit that her high pitched voice in this song as well as cupido reminds me of Kim Yoon ah of Jaurim! does anyone else think so? other wise im soo going to anticipate her live performance on this!!!

that is my favorite part also. its so catchy and came out of nowhere when i first heard the song.

some of the songs did have that hyori vibe but ivy has such a unique sound. cant wait to see her live.

[hyuksu]

I just finished listen to the first two songs and I like it so far, but it's very different from what I expected of her.
The high pitched voice was annoying and yeah, the first song sounds like Toxic.
I immediately thought of it while I was listening to it and I went to check this thread if someone else had mentioned it.
Btw, what's the english translation of her song with Wheesung?

<<2005-2006 best new female singer 'IVY': 2nd album entitled "A Sweet Moment">>

"Ivy is a great vocalist that knows how to understand music" -said Producer Park Geun Tae

Korea's best producer and song writer Park Geun Tae have commented that IVY's 2nd album entitled [A Sweet Moment]is made at it's best quality in which all the tracks can be used as the main title track. IVY's dance title song entitled 'Temptation of Sonata' is a new classic dance track that was created by using samples of Beethoven's song 'fur elise'. This is a great new trend song that was sung with IVY's unique and charming vocals and Wheesung's powerful rap. Wheesung has been composing and writing a variety of songs. We will be able to hear her great vocal skills once again through her ballad title song entitled 'If it's like this". - credits to purpletiger86
