Whee Sung - Insomnia

Finally I have got back to my favourite Korean songs !!! Hmmm I must have been disturbed by other things -- GOOD THINGS OF COURSE !

So you know already that I have a strong liking for Clazziquai and Yiruma.   Two very nice little choices I do feel.    Now its time to add to that list.   I REALLY LIKE INSOMNIA BY WHEE SUNG !!!!!   Admittedly I am not familiar with his other stuff but if it is as good as this, then I shall be duly sampling it indeed.   

However, back to the song in question.   If you had been listening to the various charts around the world, barhopping around the clubs, cranking up the car stereo and bopping to your I-Pod, you would have no doubt come across the Craig David version of Insomnia.   Yes team, Craig David did the original, a fine tune I must add, and Whee Sung did the Korean remake, a tune that in my honest opinion is just as fine, and maybe even finer.   Sorry Craig !!!

Actually it may indeed be natural that some people may feel Whee Sung did a better version, as Craig David apparently actually asked Whee Sung to do the Korean version of the song.   Smart move I say, as Whee Sung really did justice to it. 

Whee Sung brought a really relaxed feel to his version of Insomnia.   Whereas Craig David has a very drum and groove orientated, Whee Sung provides a more ambient feel which I feel is much more suited to Korean audiences.  

I tell ya what.   If you can find the Craig David version, pull it out and have a listen.   Then sample the Whee Sung version below and decide for yourself which one you like more.  

Whichever version you choose, heres to some happy listening !!
