Music crush: Urban Zakapa 어반 자카파

You know how when you fall in love,
you wanna tell everyone about it but keep it a secret at the same time?

Well, actually I wouldn't know, because I've never fallen in love before. Except with bands. ...And this one, I LOVE.


A 9-piece Korean band with silky smooth vocals and grooves. Stumbled upon their 'Cafe Latte' song during my daily Youtube trawl. It was just aight at first, but when I heard the phrase 'caramel macchiato' (so cute!), I kinda just fell for them. Hahaha! Unfortch, they don't seem to be that well-known so I can't find proper translations for their lyrics yet. In fact, there's hardly any info on them in English.

So tempted to order their album, but... it feels a little lame to be a lone fangirl all the way here in Australia (at least it seems that way according to their 176 fans on FB).

Ah, I wanna live in Korea for a while after I graduate. Go to gigs, eat at roadside stalls and drink soju by myself. HAHA! But I'm always afraid I'd be murdered in a foreign country if I go solo. Are there a lot of psycho killers in Korea? Doesn't seem like it in k-dramas. Seems like the only murderers they have there are murderers of love *cue cancer/losing eyesight/cruel mother-in-law scene*.

Listen to their songs after the jump >

And I'm just throwing this one in for good measure, because I adore Alex (from Clazziquai) and Bye Bye Sea:
