Is San E's 'Body Language' K-Pop's New Sex Anthem? Watch
San E, "Body Language"
The rapper recruits Bumkey for an ode to love making and role playing that's reminiscent to Ginuwine's "Pony"
The success of San E's K-Pop Hot 100 No. 1 hit "Break Up Dinner" anointed the 29-year-old rapper as one of the K-pop's most promising rap prospects, bringing enormous interest to his subsequent releases. After shaking up the charts past June with breezy love jam "A Midsummer Night's Sweetness," a No. 2-peaking single, featuring After School's lead vocalist Raina, he takes a complete 360 with the raunchy sex anthem, aptly-titled, "Body Language" via Brand New Music.
Upon the Aug. 4 release, the track is already edging out huge K-pop stars like SISTAR and HyunA on Korea's real-time charts.
For his latest output, San E links up with his labelmate Bumkey, where the two talk about making love and roleplaying in the bedroom. The 29-year-old spits sexy lines like, "I’m a stallion / Get on top and ride me / Bouncing up and down / You want me to run? / I'll take it out / Whip me baby, If you wanna go (faster)" over a slick R&B/hip-hop production reminiscent of Ginuwine's "Pony."
San E Playlist
San E flaunts his immaculate rhyming, enunciating every single lyric precisely, while Bumkey smooths out San E's hardness on the chorus with his buttery vocals crooning, "I'll give it to you, girl / I'll show you my sincerity."
"Body Language" was written by the artist himself and co-composed by Brand New Music's in-house producer, Master Key and Lish. The steamy music video, where San E watches different sexual innuendos and fantasies via video games, has racked up about 325,000 views.
Amazingly, the debauchery was ruled too explicit in South Korea and it received an R rating.
San E had originally honed his chops at JYP Entertainment (home to miss A, 2PM and Wonder Girls) for years, but left his major-label backing in 2013. With "A Midsummer Night's Sweetness" still ranking high on the charts, the rapper has proven how successfully he's owning the mainstream with a No. 1 under his belt and ranking high with his latest 2014 releases.
