so, popseoul has written about "Loveholic"

[-ochre.livejournal.com]

Loveholic is notable for having a lot of their music featured in movies (200 Pound Beauty) and drama soundtracks (My Name is Kim Sam Soon, Coffee Prince, etc). Their musical style leans toward soft-rock and folk-esque ballads, with polished arrangements and penetrating lyrics. Their sound is very clean and simple with an air of sophisticated.






Loveholic featured three exclusive members: Kang Hyun-min on main guitar, Lee Jae-hak on bass, and Ji-sun as the featured vocalist. Hyun-min and Jae-hak were experienced music producers, and after deciding to create Loveholic in 2002, they held auditions for the singer and found Ji-sun, who was a vocalist in the underground music scene. In 2007, however, Ji-sun decided to leave the group, and from a recent interview on KBS music program “Yoo Hee-yeol’s Sketchbook,” compared to Hyun-min and Jae-hak who dedicated themselves so easily to music, she felt out of stride with them and was unable to express herself as she wished. Thus she left the group to pursue solo activities with her first solo album being “The Mermaid…Comes Back Home,” which has a similar sound to Loveholic but a little more experimental also featuring a distinct 80s vibe.

In the meantime, the remaining members of Loveholic changed their name to “Loveholics” (really it’s like they changed nothing at all) and produced the single “Butterfly” that featured the vocal talents of fellow Fluxus artists in late 2008. Recently, it has been announced that actress Shin Min-ah, who sang in the movie (no one really watched, despite it looking really promising) “Go Go 70,” will be the featured vocalist for Loveholics next single “Miracle Blue.”

As it looks so far, Loveholics will be a project group with different featured artists.

Oh man, I love Loveholic ♥ I used to listen to them all the time in HS. Jisun has such a gorgeous voice, I wish she would go back to Loveholic. :(

It'll never be the same without Jisun, but I still wish they would just keep the old name!

Jisun... sorry, but her solo stuff was :(
Loveholics, on the other hand, sounded fine without her.

what a shame they broke up :l

hmm...seems I'm the only here who LOVED her solo album.

I thought The Mermaid...Comes Back Home was a fucking masterpiece. I thought it was a lot better than her works with Loveholic. It's probably my favorite album of 2009 so far.

Sounds a little like m-flo's formula.

I was sad when she left too, just because I liked her voice so much, but I suppose it's good to know that they're fine and her solo stuff wasn't too great. :D *puts them back on repeat*
