Not loving this. The more melodic chorus part is nice. Struggling with the MV styling. The rest of the album is awesome though! This is my least favorite track on the album by far. Good stuff on there.

[MV] SUNMI - TAIL
Intense Catwoman Sunmi. Holy cow.
Choreo is pretty clever in the bridge with the leg 'tails'.
[MV] CL - Wish You Were Here (Eng.)
Oh, man. That's tearjerker. This is dedicated to CL's mother who just recently passed away.
[MV] ONF - Beautiful Beautiful
Figured cyberpunk aesthetics would be showing up in K-Pop this year. Really fun track and I love the hyper vibrant look of the MV. Also having an AMA with ONF later today on r/kpop.
[MV] APOKI - GET IT OUT
Wasn't familiar with APOKI, but I guess they're a virtual personality/YouTuber/influencer.
The track is actually pretty tight!

[MV] ONF - My Name Is
This is cute. Make sure you turn the lyrics on. They're introducing themselves as a group. Fun idea for a pre-release.
[PROMO] SWJA X Dear Jazz Orchestra - Oh Tomorrow
I think this is a promotional collab with a fashion/art project. Not sure.
Gorgeous though! The strings are so beautiful.
[DEBUT] C.T.O - Oh! That Girl
Korean debut. They've recently been on a couple Chinese/Taiwanese competition shows.

[MV] CHUNG HA - Bicycle
The MV is a lot to handle visually. Lol. Initially I really disliked this track. Just not really my thing, but great production. For some reason, listening to it as just audio on the album improved the experience. Unusual. It's still in the realm of an Ariana Grande-ish sound that I'm not a fan of, but I appreciate the bold move. Got through COVID and came back as fierce a performer as ever. Good on ya, Chung Ha!
[DEBUT] TRI.BE - DOOM DOOM TA
This general sound trend most-associated with the girl crush concept is really not my thing, but I feel like this is one of the better/more interesting representatives of it. Decent for a debut. We'll have an AMA with them on Friday this week in r/kpop.
[CF] Soyou & IZ*ONE (feat. pH-1) - ZERO:ATTITUDE
Collaboration with Pepsi.
Includes IZ*ONE members: Eunbi, Sakura, Minju, Yuri, Wonyoung.
[MV] Mark Tuan x Sanjoy - One in a Million (Eng.)
Gonna be interesting to see how all of the GOT7 leaving JYP Ent. drama unfolds as the members sign with different companies and pursue their own work.
[MV] SIA - FRIDA
Don't usually post pure instrumentals. This one is pretty wild though. Transitions between electronica and traditional styles and that's also reflected in the performance/dance throughout.

[MONTHLY] Favorites for DECEMBER 2020
So far behind on all the things! Gotta update releases for this week, December and January playlists, and once again try to finish up the big Top 30 playlists for both 2019 (oh god!) and 2020. Lol. Been trying to recharge over the last few weeks to take on this gauntlet.
Slowly, but surely.
Top choice for December was Jhnovr's entrancing 'Strangers Again', which also ended up being one of my favorite picks for the whole year. Just keeping one top selection for the month. Lots of nice stuff under the cut though. Shout-out to Rolling Quartz for that great all-women rock band debut!
In the full post: BoA, DAVII, JAMIE, sEODo, Kim Sung Kyu, Sonnet, Taeyeon, Youngkut/Jung In, Wavycake/Ovus, MRSHLL/Queen WA$ABI, SUZANNE, DAHEE, Syn Hjang, Heechul/Min Kyunghoon/BIB/ATEEZ, Rolling Quartz, and RAIN/JYP.

[MV] IZ*ONE - D-D-DANCE
I think this is exclusive UNIVERSE content so I was a little reluctant to post an unofficial post when it was released last month, but just gonna go with it.

[MV] PURPLE KISS - Can We Talk Again
Sounds good. Kinda reminds me of SPICA's early stuff. Good vocals.
[MV] SE SO NEON - Jayu
Whew... that gets a little intense in there.
I reeeaaally can't handle seeing footage of wildfires burning things anymore. Oof.
