Super Junior – Bonamana

SM Entertainment released Super Junior‘s 4th studio album today (13th in Korea) titled “Bonamana“.  With a title like that to begin with, I was pretty curious to hear what SuJu had in store this year.  The minute the title track (Bonamana) was revealed, I was quite pumped about this record, no lie!  ‘Bonamana’ is by far the most infectious song of 2010.  Although there are plenty of listeners out there who feel that this song is too ‘Sorry, Sorry‘ and not enough of an evolution from before, I personally agree that it is in fact not that different from last year’s hit, but I also believe SuJu took the sounds and style they felt comfortable calling their own and focused on identifying with it. ‘Bonamana’ is the result of that revelation.

There are these things called genres and have you paid attention to how similar a lot of what falls under these specific genres sound like?  ‘Sorry, Sorry’ and ‘Bonamana’ could be considered blood relatives in the music world. All of 2NE1′s music, for example, sounds relatively similar because they’ve zeroed in on a specific style and haven’t veered away from it. Nothing wrong with that. ‘Bonamana’ is, in essence, a perfect pop song.  It’s up-beat, quick, has style and it’s memorable.  It’s a definite hit.
