Backtrack – Clazziquai Live Performances

These are really old (well not 10 years ago but more like 4 or 5 years ago, but in the Kpop world that’s really old already) performances by Clazziquai. I’m lucky to have found them on youtube!

Actually.. Clazziquai is one of my favorite groups in Kpop.. but I’m not sure if you could actually call their songs pop because it’s more on the electronic sound. I love this genre but I haven’t seen much of it in the Korean music industry.. just a handful of artists does this and most of them are either underrated or a playing their music underground.

Anyway these are a few of them..

Be My Love (060818) – English Version

If you’ve see My Name is Kim Sam Soon, you would know this song. This is played over and over again in the drama. And this song is what actually made Clazziquai popular in the mainstream Kpop world. This is the english version of the song. Yes, they do have several English versions of their song, which absolutely thrilled me during the start of my Kpop addiction. Though their English wasn’t that good, but its audible and understandable except for a few words.

Love Mode (070622)

I have to say this is my favorite Clazziquai song! I just love the electronic stuff DJ Clazzi did on this song. The original version has Tablo (of Epik High who is making his comeback soon! hooray!!) doing the rap.. in straight English! They do have a Japanese version of this one too where they sing the whole song in English while the rap is done in Japanese by M-Flo (you should hear his songs..). Love mode gets to me totally because of the Western/European sound which I love that this group is doing even before it became popular in Korea.. DJ Clazzi is a genius!

Romeo N Juliet (071228)

For one who watched We Got Married back when the variety program started, I’m sure you would know this song because it was what Shinae and Alex sung. This couple for me were too good to be true.. kk too sweet. But I think we got married that time was more believable compared to the We Got Married now. There was that certain sweetness that seemed surreal among the couples back them. I think maybe they were better actors! kk Kidding.. actually when I watch we got married now, it doesn’t have the same vibe as it did.. I mean probably the last that I liked were Jo Kwon and Ga In. Yonghwa and Seohyun almost did it for me, but sometimes they were just a bit too stiff.. Anyway.. about this song, this song is too sweet and I like the acoustic vibe of the song, paired with the rap part.

There are more live peformances, but I think 3 would be enough for now.. if I put them all I might not have any Clazziquai stuff to put anymore! kk and every now and then, when I miss them, I put them on my blog…

I wish they would produce more songs like this in the Korean music industry..
