Music Review: J.ae - Sentimental (2010)


This EP is released in 2010. Quite a long time ago, isn’t it? But I do believe that no matter when good music is made and released to the public, its awesomeness remains (you agree with me, ar?)

The EP titled ‘Sentimental’ consists of seven wonderful songs, from posh jazzy tune to sentimental ballad. J.ae did not merely sing by herself; she collaborated with some great singers such as Jung Yeob (modern jazz track ‘I Wanna Be Your Love’), Eun Ji Won (smooth and sexy track ‘No.5’), and MBLAQ’s G.O (jazzy, ballad-ish track ‘Even We Can’t Speak of the End’).

Most of the songs are arranged in modern jazz arrangement, and a song titled ‘Angel’s Disguise’, arranged in piano arrangement with touch of semi-Spanish guitar picks. ‘Angel’s Disguise’ could be described as ‘a depiction of angelic woman in classy and mysterious way’. But overall, these seven songs are worth to listen
