BoA – Eat You Up

Posted in Korea, Music by Elliott Back on October 27th, 2008.

Korean singer BoA has a new single / video combination out, and guess what, it’s in English!! According to Wikipedia, this is her very first US debut, after falling into Korean irrelevance:

On September 2, 2008, BoA’s Korean record label, SM Entertainment announced that she will make her American debut under SM’s new subsidiary label SM Entertainment USA. A press conference was held on September 10, 2008 at the Seoul Imperial Palace Hotel, to clarify the details of her American debut, with the slogan “Best of Asia, Bring on America”. SM announced that her debut single, “Eat You Up”, would be released on October 14, 2008 on the internet via iTunes and many other online stores. However the single has been pushed back to October 21, 2008.The single will be released in stores on November 11, 2008; a remix of the song features rapper Flo Rida.

The vapid lyrics start “When I first saw you I knew things weren’t like it used to be / Boy you have got to be the finest thing in history” and don’t get any better. The music video feels a decade old, the incredibly heavy digital processing on her voice ruins the song–I never knew imitation T-Pain effect existed…
