IU - Modern Times (2013) Hi-Res

Ever since IU's big scandal, people have been predicting her sudden and devastating downfall. I'm not sure she can hear you over the sound of her starring role in a highly-rated weekend drama and her domination of the K-Pop charts with her first post-scandal album, the A-list guest-star laden 'Modern Times'.

Modern times takes the IU we all know and love and grows her up a bit, marrying her usual lullaby-in-fantasy-land sound with the show tune and latin inspiration that LOEN's songwriters have been giving us with Ga In, Sunny Hill and FIESTAR in IU's absence. Her singing is as lovely and skillful as ever, and the songs are all the top-notch quality we expect from any IU-fronted project.
