It's about F'ing time!

I blogged about Dez-Air again! I wrote about their first MV release, Nobody! (You can find that entry here) In case you're still going 'Who is Dez-Air' you can read this little bio they wrote. The above image is one of the covers of that release, which I happily discovered when I was checking up on their blog. I really like how it looks! Whoever made it did a great job.

And now, for the news. I learned what I know mainly from watching this update video. Krissy is away on a intership and won't be back until January of next year. And!! Dez-Air has a new member; Taylor! Lina was unable to participate in Dez-Air's second single, and is currently on hiatus because of school.

I had no idea who was who for a while. I knew who Lina and Elizabeth were, and after watching the news thing I knew who Eri was. And after that I could figure it out, because Taylor is the blonde, meaning Krissy is the other brunette! And guess what I just found on their blog?! A member's page, lol. So you can see for yourselves and I won't confuse y'all.

2 Different Tears / I'm impressed! I've listened to this like 15 times around. I'd never listened to the actual song fully before, and I am really digging this cover!! I love homemade MVs! They are so fun and original! You know that a lot of time, work and love goes into them- which makes them special.

The vocals wowed me. It's been a long time since I last listened to their Nobody release (I need to refresh my memory) and so I wasn't quite sure what to expect. I think the melody and keys of the this song really suit the girls. Good choice. Eri's beginning solo is pretty (0:28)! She truly sounds wonderful, and her high notes are killer epic!

I really like Taylor on the verses, like at 0:59! I don't know how to describe her voice, I just know I like her singing a lot. I like how she delivers her lines. The group parts in the pre-chorus are amazing (ex 1:15)! The blending is so there!! I think there is some kind of effect applied to some part? I'm not sure, lol. But whatever; the girls sound fabulous together!

1:22 and 2:09 are Krissy! She's lovely on both solos, very sweet! I also feel the lyrics when I hear her sing them. She has good emotion! 2:47 is the rap, by Elizabeth! I am loving her in this! She has a mature voice that sounds awesome! I think she's perfect for the rap and did a terrific job on it! The chorus' are seriously magnificent! They're excellently sung and sound so so good!!

On the "so I hate/love you" lines in the chorus Eri and Taylor take turns pairing up with Elizabeth (at least I'm pretty sure it's only them, I'm not sure if Krissy has any of them). 1:38 is Tay & Eliz and 2:24 is Eri & Eliz. Overall the vocals in this are outstanding!! I totally need to download. Dez-Air should be proud of this! I think I like it more than Nobody, but I'll have to listen to it again to fully say.

As for the MV. I love it! I kind of wish the dresses that are used in the icecream shot had been used in the beginning dance. You really don't get to see the girls wear them on camera very much, and it's a shame. You see them in small portions, but even if not in the opening, I think they should have gotten more screen time. The workout clothes are great and I like the main outfits! Elizabeth's rap dress is gorgeous.

I couldn't help laughing when I saw that it was Twilight that Taylor was reading. And her reaction when it's knocked out her hands is funny. The other misc shots (at the mailbox, with the headphones, in bedroom, eating icecream) are nice- there isn't too too much going on, but the video isn't boring either. I suck at dancing, so I don't feel I can really comment. But I think it's all pretty rad.

This is so win in my books. Mega props to the girls for all the work they did to bring this together. And also to the 'behind the scenes' people, Brittiani, Paul and Marie + anyone else I don't know about. As I already said, they should all be pround of this! Dez-Air hwaiting! (I couldn't resist). Check'em out y'all!

Nobody [DA]

Bah, got nothing accomplished today. Too sleepy to focus well enough. But here is a little something to tide y'all over 'til I get to blogging tomorrow!! This was shared with me via Totally Up! Project~

"We are Dez-Air, an-all girl group made up of four members. We are situated in the United States and do English covers of songs by Korean artists such as Wonder Girls and Girls' Generation. We always credit the lyricist when we use their lyrics for our music videos."

Completely off subject, but y'all have no idea how crazy I can be about little things. Just looking at the banner, I love it, but the words aren't centered. I am talking myself out of fixing it right now, cause I don't really want to, lol. *twitches* But anyways!! The above info was pulled from Dez-Air's blog, which doesn't have much to it yet, but I'm sure it will in the future. Their members are;

Eri [Leader, Main Vocalist, Rapper]
Krissy [Sub-Leader, Main Vocalist]
Elizabeth [Vocalist, Dancer]
Lina [Vocalist, Dancer]

The group has a YT channel too, where they have uploaded their very first dance-cover / fandub. There they have also listed Chocolate Love (SNSD) & If You Can Dream (Disney Princesses ~ Studio Version) as future music videos!! I am very excited about both of them! But as for their first release;



Nobody / 2,000+ views! Though this has been up since May 20th, so it's had a little time for that number to build up. The lyrics are by JeAnne Ehriel, who did her own dub of this song as well (it's homg fabulous). And y'all know how I adore having lyrics handy, so I copy&pasted them into google docs for reference.

Wow! You can tell that a lot of work went into this; the video quality is great, and way it's shot is so smooth, like it was done professionally. And actually - "Krissy realized she could do a music video of 'Nobody' for a college video project. . . .Krissy wrote the script, filmed the music video, and edited it all together." So if it's for a college class, then Krissy most likely has a really good idea of what's she doing; the final result is epic! She and the rest of the group (as well as those who helped out) should be very happy / proud!

I really like the beginning part! I love that this has video has a story to it, and one that goes with the song so well! LOL "She thinks she's the cat's meow, but she's really the lion's roar." - I really like that girl, though I don't know her by name. I do know that the next to her in the pinkish shirt is Elizabeth, who "was casted as the Lead Heroine figure."

The drop-down section tells us this ~ Solo Vocals [by Eri & Krissy], Rap: [by Eri], Back-Up Vocals: [by Elizabeth & Lina]. I don't know who sings when, so I didn't color code the lyrics at all. I adore the two girls on the backup vocals!!! Eri and Krissy sound marvelous, but for me, Elizabeth and Lina add so much to this dub overall. I enjoyed listening as much as I enjoyed watching.

Once in a while I wasn't entirely sure what was being said in solo here or there, but not too oftenly, and after I got the lyrics they helped. Speaking of, I didn't pay mega attention, but I did notice that on the rap the lyrics were said wrong. It's - "Why do you keep on pushing me away? Why do you push me away?" and Eri sings the second part twice, but it's a easy mix up, since the two sentences are so similar.

The harmonies / backing vocals, and the chorus (all parts of it) are my favorite things in this! There are numerous splendid solos and I like the melody of the verses, but the chorus is just so good. Most definitely worth a listen! I subbed to Dez-Air and I am totally looking forward to more from them!
