Our Take
Our Take
North Korea may not be known for its pop music scene, but the Pyongyang Gold Stars are here to change that. Their latest album, "Take On Us! Pyongyang Gold Stars Play Great Popular Hits Volin British English," is a delightful homage to some of the greatest hits of all time, reimagined with a uniquely North Korean twist.
From their infectious cover of A-ha's "Take On Me" to their surprising rendition of Madonna's "Like a Virgin," the Pyongyang Gold Stars bring an unexpected energy and charm to these beloved classics. The use of British English adds an extra layer of novelty to the album, giving these well-known tunes a fresh and intriguing spin.
But what truly sets this album apart is the Gold Stars' quirky and fun-loving attitude, which shines through in every track. Their playful interpretations and spirited performances make for a truly entertaining listening experience that is sure to bring a smile to your face.
While the production may not be as polished as some of their Western counterparts, the raw energy and enthusiasm of the Pyongyang Gold Stars more than make up for it. In a world of cookie-cutter pop stars and formulaic hits, the Gold Stars offer a refreshing and authentic take on popular music that is both endearing and entertaining.
So if you're in the mood for something a little different, give "Take On Us! Pyongyang Gold Stars Play Great Popular Hits Volin British English" a spin. You won't be disappointed - just be prepared to have these catchy tunes stuck in your head for days to come.
