nathaniel Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 [13.04.27] T-ara N4 will create a new crossover genre, combining traditional and hip-hop music T-ara N4 (Eunjung, Hyomin, Jiyeon, Areum) will release an electronic hip-hop version of "Rural Life" as well as a traditional version with traditional harmonies and instruments.T-ara's agency Core Contents Media announced on the 27th that both versions of "Rural Life" will be released at noon on April 29th.The regular version of "Rural Life" has touches of hip-hop and funky and intense dance music. It was written by Double Sidekick with the main motif of the lyrics being getting away from the same everyday routine. The straightforward lyrics and concept was inspired by the drama "Rural Life".The traditional version of it was arranged by Hwang Hojun who has arranged more than 400 well-known songs in the past.T-ara's agency said, "T-ara N4 worked with Hwang Hojun to show off unique and traditional music but also combine it with a hip-hop rhythm to make a crossover genre."Hwang Hojun said, "Idols combining their music with traditional music will make a big impact on generations. I'm happy to think I was involved in the process. This is an opportunity to promote the music of Korea across Southeast Asia and Japan, and hopefully all around the world." *** Source: http://news.nate.com/view/20130427n03922 Translated by: Nathaniel @ Diadem Sleeping Ham, Chesskid1, pandasquares and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renar Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 HM, well N4s new song is getting more and more interesting by the day. Well I hope they can pull of this transition, as it is something of a bold move, but I'll wait and see when it comes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Ryu Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 With Remixes popping up from time to time, I wonder how many will be made from both of these versions afterward? The mixture of traditional and hip-hop in the article sort of takes me back to the A-Yo days with Jinusean. I can't wait to see and hear the full music videos.
