[MV] The Rose - Beauty and the Beast

A nice little surprise from The Rose. Seems likely this was done way back before the contract dispute and military enlistment of most members and it's only being released now. So this will probably be the last release associated with their previous company. Really pretty!

[MV] JEON SOMI - Anymore (Eng.)

Strobing light through the first half and ending. Fairly gentle though.

[MV] BamBam (feat. SEULGI) - Who Are You

This is tight. Interesting collab. Wish the MV wasn't so dark/muddy in parts though it does match the mellow mood.

I guess I had totally missed this, but Boyfriend had disbanded. But then reunited earlier this year and re-debuted as BF. Interesting!

[MV] JT&MARCUS (feat. YUNHWAY) - FIRST

Nice heavy rock sound. Killer female vocalist. I just wish bands like these sang in Korean more often.

[MONTHLY] Favorites for SEPTEMBER 2021

Catching up with monthly posts part 9.

Liked a ton of stuff in September. Got LEE HI and Tasha up here along with KEY. Also CL's English track and BTS's collab with Coldplay. But releases from ONEUS, A.C.E, Purple Kiss, SUMIN/Slom, Woosung, and PARKMOONCHI all great.

[MV] Donghae - Lost

[MV] RAVI (feat. Soyeon) - ANI

[DEBUT] Xdinary Heroes - Happy Death Day

Bold sound choice for a debut. I can't stand the flat/discordant parts, but it's interesting to see from a new JYP group.

[MV] Truedy (feat. Kim Boa) - LovE yOuRSelF

I feel rude for saying it, but I kinda wish it was just a Boa song. Or KEEMBO.

[MV] TWICE - Doughnut (Jpn.)

[MV] Changmin - Human (Jpn.)

Took too long to realize he didn't have mud caked on his face like an awkward chin-strap. Might have worked better visually to make it a bright platinum metal or chrome.

[MV] Amber Liu - DON'T DANCE (Eng.)

[MV] KANG DANIEL (feat. Loco) - Outerspace

[MV] KAI - Peaches

All the Hanbok-inspired fashion stuff is cool. The grey outfits are beautiful.

[MV] EVERGLOW - Pirate

Mostly too crowded for me. The bridge is pretty.

[DEBUT] IVE - ELEVEN

Quite like this. The tempo changes are a risk. Good to see some of the IZ*ONE ladies moving on to something potentially more permanent.

[MV] Stray Kids - Winter Falls

[MV] cignature - Boyfriend

[MV] B.I - COSMOS

[MV] SOHLHEE - Freakin' Flower

[MV] GREE (feat. Yerin) - Sorry for loving you

[MV] NiziU - Chopstick (Jpn.)

It's a little too high/J-Poppy for me as a song, but it's such a great example of taking a simple good idea and then having the song, choreo, and MV go all-the-fuckin'-way to elevate the concept. Super fun and clever. Really appreciate everything going on here.

[REMIX] pH-1, Kim Sung Jae - As I Told You

Usually don't post audio stuff like this, but everyone is throwing back to the 90s lately and this track has been a jam since release in 1995. Quite like pH-1's remix. RIP Mr. Kim.

[MV] Mark Tuan - Last Breath (Eng.)

[DEBUT] Billlie - RING X RING

Listened to the rest of the album since the mixing seemed kinda weird here. It's kinda weird in every song. There's a lot of interesting vocal stuff that's buried under the tracks. The album feels all over the place in general. In my mind, Mystic Story is usually so good about showcasing beautiful vocals and high quality sound so I'm a little let down with their foray into making an idol group. Quite the gap between this and all of LUCY's work for example.

[MV] ONEUS - LUNA

Always love the traditional fusion. Really strong.

The MV feels like a brother to VIXX's 'Shangri-la', which is gorgeous.

Let me see your pride. Because you're the one who shines like stars.

They probably don't have much in the way of production budget, but the track has a genuinely interesting combination of styles, and the effort and courage is very appreciated!

[MV] Eunhyuk - be

Never heard Eunhyuk sound so pretty. Almost always the dancer/rapper for SuJu. Minimal singing. Not that he has a bad voice, but it's not his strength. Bizarrely he sounds like a combination of Ryeowook and Sungmin here. Producers did an excellent job of finding some gentle/falsetto/layered sweet spot that suits him. I'm impressed. Video is also really nice.

Interesting track.

[MV] CRAVITY - VENI VIDI VICI

[MV] Paul Kim - After Summer & Gloomy Sunday

[MV] Stray Kids - Scars (jpn.)

[MV] aespa - Savage

The rhythm and singing parts are signature Yoo Youngjin. Reminds me of old DBSK songs like 'O Jung Ban Hap' and 'Hey Don't Bring Me Down', but the rap/hip hop verses are of the current trend and are my least favorite parts of the track. Very much SM Ent. of the current generation. Weird but obviously very intentional.

[MV] APRO (feat. Gaeko, PENOMECO) - ING

[MV] OWALLOIL - Tree

Good vibes.

[MV] TRAP - FARGO

Nice to hear a heavier rock song in Korean. Seems like English is usually the preferred language for the genre regardless of the fluency of the singer and I end up skipping over a lot of Korean bands because of that. Yay Korean!

[MV] Kimfeelsun - Busan Letter

That look with the braids seems.. medieval-inspired? Like 13th-14th century Europe, but in contemporary streetwear? Fascinated by that one.

[MV] The Wild Idol - Born to be wild

This group is being formed on MBC's show 'Extreme Debut'. Kinda combines the usual survival audition show format with physical/mental 'Survivor' type challenges. Don't know much about it or what the end goal is for the group, but the production for this track is pretty solid.

[MV] ITZY - LOCO

Not one of my faves from them, but better than Mafia.

[AUDIO] Coldplay X BTS - My Universe

There'll be remixes and an MV for this eventually, but I'll post the lyric video now. It's on Coldplay's album so BTS are just guests on it and don't have many lines, but OH GOD THERE'S NO GARBAGE VOCAL EFFECTS ON THEM. And they sound a million times better than most of their own work from the last few years. Jungkook's opening line melted me into a puddle. What a damn shame that his voice is so stripped of character on their albums. Missed it so much.

Also quite a jam. Thanks, Coldplay!

Edit: Short documentary on YouTube with a making-of that is really lovely and worth a watch!

Edit again: Putting the acoustic version and 'Supernova 7 Mix' under the cut. The acoustic one is pretty!

[MONTHLY] Favorites for JULY 2021

Catching up with monthly posts part 7. Almost there!

Seemed like everything was packed into June. July was a little less exciting, but there was some fine stuff in there still. Peakboy's jam was my easy favorite. Gets me dancing. Also putting Dreamcatcher up here although this isn't one of my favorites from them.

The main project to remark on was AKMU's collab album. The whole thing was great, but it had quite a dark feel.

In the full post: AleXa, JEON SOYEON, TAEYEON, Sound Kim, meenoi/Loco, HA:TFELT, Sam Kim, En, WOOJEEWON, AKMU, SURAN/Wonstein, DPRLIVE/Beenzino/HwaSa, SEVENTEEN, SWJA, NIve, BIBI/Tiger JK, Kwon Jin Ah/PARKMOONCHI, and JANNABI.
