The 21st Century’s Queen of Trot, Jang Yoon-Jeong followed
up on the success of her first album with this fine effort. On the trot side,
there are hits such as “Flower,” “Jjan-jja-ra,” and the later-to-be-remade “Bean
Pods.” On the non-trot side there’s the pop ballad “Letter,” a duet with the
late Chae Dong-Ha (채동하) of SG
Wannabe, the dance tracks “Hey Lover” and “Frost,” and the rap-rock chant “Take
Heart.” Jang’s vocal talent is considerable enough to carry these songs,
whatever the genre, and it makes for a good all-around album. Trot may not be
most youngsters’ cup of tea, but this album proves it can successfully be fused
with modern pop sensibilities.
