Alex, one from two vocalist of Clazziquai, released his second solo album, Just Like Me, on June 2, 2011. Alex, alone or together with Clazziquai, has sung a lot of K drama OSTs. But my attention to him is highly picked when he played a role in Pasta, as a nice Italian restaurant owner (seriously all roads in Pohonphee’s world leads to K drama la la la land :D ). I really like Clazziquai since they are good in both electric pop and acid jazz, two different music genres. And Alex’s first solo album in 2008, My Vintage Romance is not bad at all. So I really anticipated this album.
But I’ve got to say, after I’ve listened to this album, Just Like Me, several times, I like his first album more. I don’t know, except the track no. 5 되돌릴 수 있다면(Dweidoril suidamyeon) If I Could Bring You back that he sings together with Jane, I find no song in this album really catches my ears :( . Actually I have heard 되돌릴 수 있다면 3 month ago. This song is an OST from one of the Hyun Bin’s latest works before he went to military service on March 2011, Late Autumn (see I always find a way :P ). As much as I love Hyun Bin as an actor, I love 되돌릴 수 있다면 . There was a time when I played this song over and over again, sang along, and cried over it :D (oh yes, I brought my personal bandage that time ^^). Unfortunately, I have not been able to watch this movie :( :(.
Track no. 6 미쳐보려 해도 (Michiboryeo haedo) Can't Be Crazy is chose as title song with a MV following. Jung Ryeo-won (she was playing Hee-jin, second lead female in My Name is Kim Sam Soon), is starring in this MV. The amber scenes through out the MV go along the way with the song theme. JRW looks skinny here (very skinny for some people), but really? Tell me when she doesn’t look skinny by the way. Some people were born skinny, no matter how much food they eat, doncchaknow? I think some bangs for her hairdo will do her good. I don’t know why she keeps sporting this kind of hairdo. Her hairdo in her latest movie, Pain is just eeek, chincha! It made her long face looks even longer.
And I went trough I hard time to pick another song to accompany 되돌릴 수 있다면 as my two favorite songs from this album. Songs in this album, ranged from dance pop to ballad, somehow sound similar to me in part of melody. And because of that I can't say just because it is not my cup of tea. I'm usually sold easily by dance pop or ballad song. If I have to choose two favorite songs from Alex’s second solo album, Just Like Me, then they will be track no. 5 되돌릴 수 있다면 If I Could Bring You Back and track no. 12 평범한 그대 Ordinary You.
I give you the lyrics of my two favorite songs from Just Like Me album. First is this 되돌릴 수 있다면 If I Could Bring You Back. Ready for a box of tissue you may be need it :D

평범한 그대 Ordinary You is a kind of song that is felt better after I understand the lyric. One of the reason why I like Alex's 1st solo album My Vintage Romance much because this kind of vibe that I got from 평범한 그대 Ordinary You song, but it is applied on the entire album and without I have to understand the lyrics. I feel the romantic positive love vibe from this song. That's how "love" supposed to be right? :) It makes you think positively about life and world.
Can you imagine how insanely romantic Alex is?(hah! one step closer to delusional fan) Just look at the songs he write. Imagine he sings 평범한 그대 Ordinary You, ok let alone Alex, your boyfriend sings it in front of your door on one bright sunny morning. Me: faint swooning :P
