N-Train debuts with “One Last Cry” on Inkigayo


Famous producer Kim Chang Hwan finally debuted the fruits of three long years of labor on today’s episode of ‘Inkigayo‘!

His very own boy group, N-Train, held their debut showcase on May 25th and revealed that they were determined to be acknowledged for their vocal talents alone. Their debut track, “One Last Cry“, is a soul jam with lyrics about a man reminiscing over a woman who he can’t seem to forget.


N-Train explained, “Idols are usually known for releasing dance tracks with strong beats. We hope to differentiate ourselves by emphasizing an R&B style. We’re confident, but we won’t let it get to us, especially since we still have much to learn in order to grow as artists who leads Korean music.”

Check out their debut below!

'I'm a rockstar not a parent': Rihanna defends controversial new video showing her murdering a rapist

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Controversial: Rihanna's video for her new single Man Down has attracted criticism


Rihanna has defended her controversial new music video Man Down, insisting 'this is the real world'.

Taking to Twitter today the singer attacked her critics, claiming she was a 'rockstar not a parent' and saying she had 'the freedom to make art'.

Man Down attracted the wrath of the Parents Television Council, who blasted Rihanna for showing a 'cold, calculated execution of murder'.


Violent: Rihanna is seen hiding in the shadows with a gun in her hand as she seeks revenge


The video shows her taking revenge on a rapist by gunning him down in a crowded train station.

But Rihanna, herself a victim of domestic violence, disagreed with the criticism.

'I'm a 23 year old rockstar with NO KIDS! What's up with everybody wanting me to be a parent? I'm just a girl, I can only be your/our voice!' she wrote.

And in an apparent direct response to the PTC she added: 'Cuz we all know how difficult/embarrassing it is to communicate touchy subject matters to anyone especially our parents!

'The music industry isn't exactly Parents R Us! We have the freedom to make art, LET US! Its your job to make sure they don't turn out like US.'

The council said in a statement: 'Rihanna's personal story and status as a celebrity superstar provided a golden opportunity for the singer to send an important message to female victims of rape and domestic violence.

'Instead of telling victims they should seek help, Rihanna released a music video that gives retaliation in the form of premeditated murder the imprimatur of acceptability.'

Media justice group Industry Ears also criticised BET for airing the video.

'If Chris Brown shot a woman in his new video and BET premiered it, the world would stop,' Industry Ears co-founder Paul Porter said.

'Rihanna should not get a pass and BET should know better. The video is far from broadcast worthy.'

Today, a defiant Rihanna praised her fans for their support, tweeting: 'Thank you for the amazing response on ManDownVideo I love you guys, and I love that u GOT IT!!'
It's the second time in as many weeks Rihanna attracted criticism from the PTC - she was slammed for her kinky performance with Britney Spears at the Billboard Awards.

Rihanna Navy Are To Thank For Britney Duet

18 May 2011 - Unless you’re Madonna, it’s not easy to work with Britney Spears. Even though collaborations are very much en vogue, Miss Spears seems happy to go it alone. So when a Britney remix of Rihanna’s S&M came out last month, the pop world sat up and listened.

What was behind the hook up? Twitter of course. According to RiRi, she has her fans and their tweets to thank, explaining: “They asked about me and Britney Spears and we did it! Obviously it worked out pretty well!”
n fact, the 23-year old from Barbados has so many fans online (over 32 million on Facebook) they are now called the Rihanna Navy - something the singer doesn’t take lightly.

The What’s My Name star stated: “It is important for me professionally because I get to really get the first feedback you know, right away. I don’t have to think about it, I don’t have to guess.”

She added: “They say right to me what they like, what they hate, what they want, what they want more of. And that is important."
