Horan of Clazziquai and Winterplay - Coming Together

Hyewon and Horan deliver a cool version of the Beatles' classic. Relish the moments. I also like the quaintness of Winterplay's Gypsy Girl. Hyewon's stillness is heaps more compelling than any dance moves by most of the girl groups out there.

WINTERPLAY is a jazz quartet from Korea. Click here for their version of Norah Jones' Don't Know Why

Horan's Uncertain Love from the City Hall OST

Here's a thank you posting to SP for introducing me to the SBS drama series, "City Hall" which has become one of my all-time favourites.

Morning Call by Ibadi

Horan of Clazziquai fame has such an enviably effortless style. Whenever my nerves feel frayed, I turn to Ibadi's music. The best kind of  soothing balm for the spirit.



Check out Secret Waltz also by Ibadi.

In The Mood For A Song In Three Four Time

Listening to this is like drinking cool spring water and I don't mean your usual Evian or Perrier. The female half of Clazziquai, Lee Horan is doing her own thing with drummer/guitarist Gur Jeong and bassist/guitarist Justin Kim. Together, they're IBADI, using apparently a traditional Korean word for 'celebration'.

Here are two version of "Secret Waltz" with Lee Seung Yuel (another great voice) from Ibadi's mini-album, "Songs for Ophelia".



The sound quality is better on this MV. Haven't found the English lyrics to this number but will post as soon as possible. Meanwhile, just sit back, kick off your shoes and enjoy. For more on Ibadi, click here.
