Secret - Gift From Secret (3rd Single Album) (2013)

In December 2013, Secret released a winter-themed EP that gave a nod to the Christmas season with the title Gift From Secret. The centerpiece was the Spectoresque “I Do I Do,” one of the catchiest and brightest songs in the Secret catalog. The intro track “Snowmelt” evokes a cozy evening spent indoors, and the nostalgic “Remember Me” recalls a past winter love. The only song that breaks with the theme is the techno-fied dance track “Fantastic,” which is placed non-disruptively at the end. “I Do I Do” is the only indispensable song here, but for the listener who wants the snow-covered musical experience to last just a little longer, the rest is worthwhile.

Jang Yoon-Jeong Vol. 5 (장윤정 5집) (2010)

Jang Yoon-Jeong’s fifth album kept with the general trend from her fourth album; it’s a combination of trot, pop and club dance all in one. The lead single “Come On” is a breezy, summery pop song, while second single “Invocation” is a trot ballad. The dance tracks “Fire Butterfly,” Stockings,” and “Casanova” are all standard fare, while “Uh-oh” is a particularly fun trot number. The hookiest track might be the pure pop song “Common Sense.” This album also includes a duet with legendary trot singer Nam Jin on “I Like You.” The sequencing has the four “serious” songs sandwiched in the middle, with a solid layer of upbeat songs at both the beginning and end, leaving the listener with a generally happy feeling.
