E-TRIBE praises SNSD for their talent and potential

The hit composers of E-TRIBE, who are now also the producers of Dal Shabet, praised SNSD during a recent interview with TV Report and chose them as the best idol group in the current market.

They stated, “We don’t believe there’s a solo artist up to par with Rain or Lee Hyori in the currentmusic industry. In the case of idol groups, after TVXQ, SNSD has been the only group that has been able to perfect a variety of different images.”

They went on to choose SNSD as the best artists who were able to ‘give life’ to music through the combination of dancing, singing, and performing. “There are many good songs, but it’s only when a song is able to fit perfectly with an artist’s unique concept that it shows its true power.”

E-TRIBE continued,”After creating a mega hit with ‘Gee,’ the girls succeeded once more with a completely new style through ‘Genie.’ Same goes for ‘Oh!‘ and ‘Hoot.’ They show growth, as well as infinite potential. We never know what new style they will be putting out.”

They concluded, “We believe that SNSD is the only idol group after TVXQ to be able to pull off a variety of styles and give life to a song’s potential. They fit best with the nickname ‘a thousand faces’.”

E-Tribe ''SNSD are top-notch artistes''

Famous composers E-Tribe have nothing but all praise for SNSD.

E-Tribe whose masterpiece includes great songs in the music industry such as Lee Hyori’s ‘U-Go-Girl’ and SNSD’s ‘Gee’ are now the producers of a new girl group called ‘Dal Shabet’. However, to them, the best idol group is SNSD.

E-tribe recently told reporters, “Currently, there is yet a solo singer better than Rain and Lee Hyori. In the case of idol group, after TVXQ, SNSD seem to be the only group who can adapt and present themselves perfectly to various different styles”.

Great artists could present their music effectively through the combination of dance, song and performances. E-Tribe also believed that an artist could produce something great not only with good song but also the existence of a unique concept at the right place and time.

E-Tribe commented, “SNSD’s ‘Gee’ was a mega hit song and they continue to succeed with ‘Tell Me Your Wish’, which was totally different from ‘Gee’ in terms of style. Similarly, this happened to ‘Oh!’ and the recently released ‘Hoot’ as well. In order to come up new appearances, ideas and endless possibilities are being explored to develop new styles”.

They added, “In our opinion, after TVXQ, SNSD is the only idol group with variety of styles who could adapt well and perfectly express the feelings of their songs. ‘Thousand Faces’ are the best words to describe them”.
