Seoul Singers: How Big Mama Went Against All Odds in the Korean Music Industry (Green Tea Graffiti)

Title

Seoul Singers: How Big Mama Went Against All Odds in the Korean Music Industry (Green Tea Graffiti)

Description

"By today’s standards, Big Mama singing, style, and image defy the common norm. The ladies’ debut song “Breakaway” is indeed a break from the norm in Korean music – soulful vocals that separate them from mainstream bubblegum pop. The namesake’s music video is also a cleverly created satire of Korea’s music industry – as described in the beginning. Instead of finding inspiration from American pop stars – such as Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera – they’d rather pattern their music to Soul/R&B legends Ella Fitzgerald, Stevie Wonder, and Whitney Houston."
