Korea’s best rock band ‘Jarium’ has made a comeback after two long years with their sixth album titled “Ashes to ashes”. The black and white tone of their sixth album jacket is different from their fifth album concept (title song was: HaHaHa song), which was more of a pink tone. Jarium debuted in 1997 and has become one of the most well known rock bands in Korea. Unlike their past albums, they have used their own instruments to create their own style of sound and electronic rhythm for their music. Jarium said that their even numbered albums are always heavy and gloomy.and just as they said, their sixth album title “ashes to ashes’ will bring out a heavy mood. Kim Yoon-Ah wrote and produced the song “you and me’ which is about a lovers’ relationship. The theme of this song is about people’s troubles when it comes to communicating. This song was produced by each and every one of their band member’s instruments (Electric guitar, drum, key board). They have worked very hard on this song which is also going to be used as their title song. Jarium will continue to perform on stage and hold concerts. They will start their first concert from October 19th to October 22nd at Yong-San GookRip Museum Theatre. – credits to purpletiger86

A former member of H.O.T. and JTL, Jang Woo Hyuk is one of the most popular young singers in the country, combining exciting dance numbers with his rapping skills. A little over a year after his solo debut, he’s finally back with another dose of adrenaline-filled, Jang Woo Hyuk-style sound.
Participating in this second album are movie star-cum-MC and singer Tak Jae Hoon, Jung In formerly of Leessang, Nam Hoon and Park Jang Geun of Supersta, and many more musical luminaries. This second album is a particularly important moment in Jang’s career, as he’s hitting 10 years in the business, a period which saw him change from a boy band pop idol to a solo singer with a stronger, more mature and masculine appeal. His track Mr. Jackson in particular mixes party hip-hop sensibilities with a Michael Jackson-like pop aura, making it one of his most unique songs to date. Also of note is a remake of 60s hit The Man in the Yellow Shirt, which uses sampling of Han Myung Sook’s original song combined with Jang’s modern sound. – credits to YesAsia
