BoA

BoA

COUNTRY: South Korea
GENRE:
Pop
LAST ALBUM/EP: Who’s Back (2014)
INFO:
 She is sometimes called the South Korean Britney Spear; but the label doesn’t fit her.  Starting at age 14, BoA has released albums in Japan, America, and South Korean, singing fluently in the native language of all three countries.  She choreographs her own videos, has become a bit of a fashion icon, and has represented brands such as Nike, L’Oreal, and Skechers.  Hard to believe she’s only 28.

Again, because of her large discography, it’s hard to choose a favorite from her.  Still, just because of the confluence of dance and music, we would have to pick Eien from her 2009 compilation album, Best & USA.  The English language track we choose is international version of her Eat You Up video from her 2009 self-titled, American release.
