Sistar - Shake It

The floodgates have officially opened and now that it is summer, K-pop season is well and truly upon us. I love how every year around this time we get handfuls of bright, summery tracks from South Korea. One group that's been known for these types of singles is girl group Sistar. Sistar is enormously popular in Korea (and I'll be seeing them live in about a month as part of KCON), but for whatever reason I've been slow to connect with them. Shake It will probably be the song that tips the scale for me. It just sounds like summer, with hook upon hook. In fact, it doesn't really have a chorus in the traditional sense. It's more like one of those Xenomania-produced Girls Aloud tracks where it's literally three or four choruses constantly repeating. Unfortunately we don't get this kind of music in America any more. Thank god for Korea!
