Happy Monday to you all! Even if it’s not, maybe these global covers will help the first day of the workweek go by just a little smoother. We’ve got a pair of songs by Jason Chen & Esna, along with one from Nylon Pink and Inch Chua to round it all out. Those with international tastes just may know a song of two from this round-up, and if so, tell us what you think of these artist’s renditions.

It’s time to span the globe and go international with our round-up again. Today’s collection has songs of the K & C-Pop variety, covered and remixed by a few of our more linguistically talented artists. If I were fluent in both my parent’s tongues, I would have been able to understand all the covers in this line up – unfortunately that is not the case. But if you can, more power to you and I hope you enjoy!

We knew that singer/dancer Lydia Paek (of Quest Crew fame) was doin her thing in Korea, working closely with YG. Well, here’s a small exhibition of the fruits of her labor as she appears in the opening scene to their flagship artists’s MV. Pay attention in the beginning where you can see Ms. Paek rock out a little bit next to G-Dragon as he applies his eccentric brand of Hip-Hop in “One of a Kind”.

Hope you bulked up on those Rosetta Stone language packs because we’re about to take things international with this series of covers on Youtube. This batch runs predominantly Chinese, with a couple Korean songs thrown in to round out this compilation. As expected, there are a few multiple entries from some of the artists since they do tend to make use of their multi-lingual skills more than others.

Welcome to another remix/round-up! This time around, we are revisiting an international theme with all of the songs either remixes/covers/translations of Asian songs, or in one particular case, an English song sung in Chinese. It’s a pretty big melting pot of culture and languages – but that’s fairly representative of the world we live in. Go ahead and take a gander, I’m sure you’ll find something you enjoy in this collection!

Passport: GD & TOP Feature for Pixie Lott on “Dancing On My Own”

This one may be just outside the scope of the usual stories we cover, but we’ve been hearing about it enough to warrant a mention. South Korean Boy Band members, GD & TOP of the group Big Bang, have contributed to the Japanese release of English singer Pixie Lott’s album, Young Foolish Happy. Now you may be asking yourself, why would South Korean artists be included on a Japanese re-release, but really it’s a testament to the international appeal of the two artists. Their contributions are on the Asia-specific rendition of “Dancing on My Own”, and all of their parts are in English to boot.

TL;DR: South Korean Boy Band members GD & TOP feature in English for Pixie Lott’s Japanese re-release of Young Foolish Happy

We decided to go international with this round-up. Each of these songs are from Asian countries and covered by some of your favorite stateside artists. K-Pop? J-Pop? C-Pop? It’s all here, plus multiple genres are represented too – so you get double the variety. 1 Million Bonus points if you can understand every word sung in these songs!

[Music Video] Grand Master Chu x Melloe – Cafe (Remix of Big Bang)

Posted on by

Grand Master Chu, of Model Minority, just dropped an MV for his track Cafe (a remix of the KPOP song by Big Bang by the same name). The track can be found on Chu’s The Yung Monk mixtape and features Melloe as the female vocal. Overall it’s a decent track though Melloe’s contributions are a bit mixed in result. On one hand she offers a nice switch in style, contrasting well with Chu’s raps but her parts are also mixed poorly and drag down the quality of the track. The MV is simple though unfortunately a bit dull.
