Clazziquai

Now that the exams are over, I can finally post this. A few nights ago, while randomly link-hopping on Wikipedia, I stumbled across a music group called Clazziquai. Little did I know that the simple event of clicking the link would cause me to sleep at 3am. After reading about them, I went to YouTube and all it took was a single video to cause me YouTube-ing and imeem-ing for more of their songs. I have a soft spot for good music - I go ga-ga when I find them. 

Clazziquai is a Korean music group which plays songs ranging from acid jazz, bossa nova, electronica and dance to pop. Their name is supposed to be a mix of Classic, Jazz and Groove (the 'quai' from Jamiroquai I suppose) and they comprise of 3 main members: DJ Clazzi, Alex and Horan. The latter two are the lead singers. Being a jazz-lover (especially when it's bossa nova) I easily got hooked onto their music. Their style of music fused with elements of electronica was a fresh change and the outstanding voices and clarity of the lead singers was also aurally pleasing. They also have a certain aura of class, which is evident from their music style and videos. I don't know how to describe it, so I'll show you one of their music videos instead. The song is titled 'Dance' and the video is really very beautiful. The music is simply... WOW.

If you liked that, here's another music video (actually more of a slideshow) to satiate your appetite. The song is titled 'Romeo N Juliet'.

If you really loved those two videos, be sure to check out more of their stylo-milo songs. As for me, this is a mai tu liao situation - I am getting all their albums.
