Nobody Wonder Girls (CD)

Found in 2007, the South Korean group Wonder Girls was signed by JYP Talent Agency. Their single Nobody helped them enter the American market last year, and they became the first Korean group to go into the billboard top 100.

The album has a good, bubbly sound, and makes you want to hear the songs over again. However, there are different versions and remixes of some of the songs, which becomes a tad tedious.

The pictures and lyrics on the album cover are interesting to pore over while listening. The album is aimed at teenage girls.

The opening track, 2 Different Tears (Chinese version), presents an optimistic view for listeners. That song appears in six different versions. The English version of the song adds no value: after listening to the Korean and Chinese versions, you already know the lyrics and the meaning.

Nobody Jason Nevins Remix was the most catchy and memorable remix on the album, with interesting beats and a very 'now' sound.

This album keeps the group focused clearly on its target audience and winning musical characteristics. Wonder Girls aren't a whole lot different from other girl groups, but their style and sound give them a definite edge.
