Brown Eyed Girls - 어쩌다 (Eojjeoda) [How Come] Kpop Song Review

Artist: Brown Eyed Girls
Title: 어쩌다 (Eojjeoda) [How Come]
Album: 2집 - My Style
Track: 2

The girl group Brown Eyed Girls enjoyed 2009 as one of their more successful years in show business thanks to the song Abracadabra and to a lesser extent Sign. Lost among these two songs however, is an earlier track that they released around a year before called How Come?

The song How Come? came from their My Style Mini album, and while not really a main force in their increased level of popularity is still a pretty neat song to listen to.

About the Song:
The song How Come? is one of the songs that probably started the transition to the trance-electro-dance-pop sound that Brown Eyed Girls is now known for. It is a song that has a very upbeat sound that basically talks about a girl asking "How Come I fell in love with you?". She asks this because she gives her undying affection even though the one that she loves does not really treat her well.

Song Review:
What I like about the track How Come? is that it is very danceable. The beat is quite catchy and the vocals are top notch. This note about the great vocals is made more outstanding when you consider that in most electronic or dance songs, the quality of the voice is usually lost because of the autotune and other effects used to make the song sound more electronic. Overall, this song is really just flowing with energy, and wonderful vocals all over.

Recommendation:
I actually like this song more than their more famous Abracadabra. I think it sounds better both beat wise and vocally than the more famous counterpart. It really gives a great feel that makes one want to move and groove to the music.

A note though is that I first heard of How Come through a performance in the show Chocolate. I think the live versions are actually better since the members of the Brown Eyed Girls are able to give more energy and more feel to the song, and the electronic effects are a bit lessened making the girls' amazing voices more noticeable.
