HalfBrothers 배다른 형제 - Half Brothers

Review by Kevin Donoghue

Half Brothers, the debut album by the South Korean duo HalfBrothers (배다른 형제), is a refreshing take on contemporary pop music. The duo, consisting of brothers Inho and Jinho, showcases their musical prowess and versatility in this 10-track album.

From the upbeat and catchy "Hey Hey Hey" to the more mellow and introspective "Lost in Time," Half Brothers seamlessly blend different genres and styles, creating a unique sound that is both familiar and fresh. The album also features collaborations with other artists, such as rapper C Jamm in "Ramen" and singer-songwriter Yerin Baek in "Fool."

The lyrics, mostly written by the brothers themselves, delve into themes of love, heartbreak, and self-discovery, with a touch of humor and wit. In "Goodbye," they sing about a breakup with a twist, saying "I'm not crying, I have allergies."

Summary by Kevin Donoghue

Half Brothers is a solid debut album that showcases the talent and potential of this rising duo. With their catchy melodies, heartfelt lyrics, and dynamic performances, HalfBrothers are definitely ones to watch in the K-pop scene.
