IU is an AMAZING vocalist. Her first single Mia (Missing Child) really showed off her vocal ability and I waited in high anticipation for her album... however, this album is a COMPLETE 360 from her original concept! If I hadn't heard Mia, I would been used to this style of music with her voice, but the fact is that Mia was an EXCELLENT start for IU. However, it gave listeners a misinterpretation of what to expect from her in the future. It's to the point where Mia sounds out of place on the album. The single 'Boo' did nothing for me. The only tracks I felt had nice potentials were Track 1 'Bala Bogi' and Track 8 'Ijanha'. It feels like Loen Entertainment thought IU wouldn't gain young fans with ballads and decided to try to fit her voice into the mainstream k-pop. Though it may be true that she may have only gained mostly older fans with her ballads, she had the potential of being a 'singing' artist rather just another mainstream artist. This album is low rated, not because of IU's singing skills, but for the songs themselves. IU has true talent and this album isn't allowing it to bloom. I recommend just buying her first single. |

IU has to be one of the most talented teen artist ever. Her vocal ability, musicality and general understanding of the songs are way beyond her age of 16 years old. I would even rate her as one of the best female vocals among all korean musicians. I first did not much care about her title 'Boo', but now I think about it, she is only 16 and should be singing this kind of the songs anyway. All of the songs in her first album are above average to excellent. Various styles of music are included in her first album such as beautiful ballads, some cute K-pop dance songs, Reggae style songs and even a rock style song. Again her versatile vocal works are impressive. I am a new fan of IU. |
