The composer for ZE:A‘s “Phoenix“, Albi Albertsson, released his demo version for the song.
The vocal guide for the demo version is in English instead of ZE:A’s Korean, and the title ‘V2 Original Demo’ seems to hint that this was the song while in its beginning stages. One of the most noticeable parts of the song is that near the beginning, around the 0:13 mark, the vocal guide seems to say, ‘SHINee. We’re back‘, hinting that the song might have been originally meant for SHINee. In ZE:A’s song, at the same point they instead say, “ZE:A. We’re back“.

Date: 2012-12-28 06:26 am (UTC)I can totally see Jjong pulling some "Juliette" era vocals in the first verse though...

Date: 2012-12-28 08:01 am (UTC)i can sort of see shinee singing this, but imo it's not typical shinee fare in that it's not some interesting mixmash like most of their title songs are. the only part that i can really see shinee doing is the rap
no subject
Date: 2012-12-28 08:02 am (UTC)but single wise it's much more a ze:a song
i could see it being a song on SHINee's album tho ngl
lol@the people who think ze:a can't sing

Date: 2012-12-28 02:38 pm (UTC)He worked with EXO too, so no surprise if this was originally meant for Shinee. I think most boy groups could pull this off.

Date: 2012-12-31 04:35 am (UTC)i think se's promotions for ze:a have come a long way since debut. they have had half of their members on multiple variety/dramas shows this past year. and with the blow up of kwanghee and siwan, they have been really pushing them. which i think is the problem. it's nice to have individual activities, but i feel like se pushes individual promotions more than group promos. i think their japaneseintl promo is pretty decent haha
as for jewelry and 9muses, yeah pretty terrible, but getting a lil better....slowly. haha
