Hello and welcome to this weeks Modern Seoul KPOP Song of the Week, our third for January and 2015. Although there were a number of interesting new releases recently, we’ve chosen the new release rapper by Mad Clown (매드클라운) featuring Jinsil (진실) of Mad Soul Child. The song is titled “Fire“ and it was released on Thursday January 8th. Since then the video has been viewed around 600,000 times on the starshipTV YouTube Channel. Here are our reasons for choosing “Fire” for our KPOP song of the week:
- Firstly the song showcases both the amazing rapping of Mad Clown as well as the strong vocals of Jinsil perfectly.
- Secondly the video tells an interesting if a little strange at time story, but it’s fun to watch. All the black and white theme looks crisp.
- Finally Mad Clown has blown up since his duet with Sistar member Soyou about a year ago. Fingers crossed he continues to grow in popularity.
- On the negative side; the video doesn’t include Jinsil but instead Hani.
