Akdong Musician (AKMU) - "200%"



Akdong Musician has released their new single "200% in lieu of their upcoming debut album PLAY. After winning K-pop Star 2 and signing a contract with YG Entertainment, their highly anticipated efforts are finally being available to the public. Comprised of 18 year old Lee Chanhyuk and his sister, 15 year old Lee Soohyun, these siblings are certainly making a big splash into the music scene.

"200%" is a jazzy, feel-good song riddled with jazz and acoustic elements throughout. It's no surprise that these siblings can sing really well; Soohyun's vocal range really shines in this track and I was surprised with how well Chanhyuk raps. Many fans were worried about YG changing AKMU's original sound, but it seems like there was nothing to worry about. The song and music video and still very age-appropriate for the siblings, and it seems like they were given the freedom to continue composing songs that they're comfortable with.

Akdong Musician's debut album will be released on April 9, and if "200%"" is any indication of how good the rest of the tracks are, everyone should be anticipating its release. The track is fresh, original, and will definitely start topping charts. 4.6/5
