[MONTHLY] Favorites for NOVEMBER 2018
I'm picking three for the top this month!
(G)I-DLE's Soyeon and Miyeon participated in this League of Legends collaboration, which has blown up huge since release. It's incredibly catchy and I'm still enjoying every listen. I'll also give a little shout-out to Miggy Smallz doing a K/DA&BTS mashup with Mic Drop that I can't get enough of either... and I don't particularly like Mic Drop. XD
Then we have Yubin with her wild retro journey and a Jengi/SUMIN collab for the more chill end of things. I went a little heavy on the full post with 16 picks, since December will probably be lighter on releases and November was packed.
In the full post: Sam Kim, EXO, H.U.B, Dynamic Duo/OHHYUK, HYO & 3LAU, Drunken Tiger, Jaurim, Wanna One, xion, DONGKIZ, EXID, NCT 127, Martin Smith, TeRish, KEY/Crush, and Sun The Lily.

Kevin Woo's official solo debut after leaving U-KISS last year.

[MV] EXID - I LOVE YOU
I usually can't stand hangover/puking jokes, but this is pretty tolerable and funny.
Great to see Solji completely back in action.

[MV] Wanna One - Spring Breeze
Got a little emotional there. This is supposed to be Wanna One's last major release before their Produce101 contracts run out. Seems like things are still being negotiated though.
[MV] Zion.T - Uh Huh + Sleep Talk
I think this might end up expanded more as a series or longer piece? Not sure.
There was also a teaser for Sleep Talk with a bigger cinematic feel.
[MV] Steve Aoki (feat. BTS) - Waste It On Me
Aoki pulling some strings with a ton of cameos for maximum Asian representation.
Only RM, Jungkook, and Jimin are on the track. All English.

[MV] TANY - The Empty Frame
This is a posthumous release. TANY passed away in a car accident in April. He was only 22. Supposedly his manager found the demo of this track and was keeping some promise by releasing it.

[MONTHLY] Favorites for OCTOBER 2018
Cruising right into the Fall feels, my top picks are from RM's solo effort and Cacophony, a super indie artist. Both are moody. Both have atmosphere and emotional resonance. I guess that's what I was into this month.
Much more pop in the rest of the selections.
In the full post: SUMIN, Babylon/VINXEN, Soyou, AlphaBAT, MRSHLL, IU, Crush, SOYA, FTISLAND, Hoody/Crush, BoA, Golden Child, Ha Hyun Woo, and IZ*ONE.

[PROMO] K/DA - POP/STARS
Riot Games/League of Legends designed skins for a pop group (K/DA) and released this music video during their World Championships event. (G)I-DLE's Soyeon and Miyeon are on vocals, along with Madison Beer and Jaira Burns. The ladies also performed at the live event.

[MV] EXO - Tempo
Appreciated that long section where the track falls away and it's all vocal for a while. Interesting choice.
And I just noticed there are English subs! Only took SM 12 years to get on that!

[DEBUT] BLUE FOX - Wake Me Up
Their title track 'I believe I can fly' didn't have promotion, but this b-side got an MV, so I'll call this their debut.
Saturday, October 27, 2018
[DEBUT] PinkFantasy - iriwa
Interesting song and the vocals sound good.
Weird video. Apparently Shindong directed it. Makes sense. Lol.
[MV] Black Eyed Peas (feat. CL) - DOPENESS
Thinking back to when this collab was first being discussed seems like a lifetime ago.
[MV] SUMIN - WOO
Missed this from earlier in the month.
I recommend her album if your into an R&B pop sound with some electronica mixed in.
Link to 'YOUR HOME' on Spotify
Wednesday, October 24, 2018
[MV] Horan - Wanted
The last I heard about Horan was her 3rd DUI. I guess she's back to making music.
Don't drink and drive, kids!
Monday, October 22, 2018
[MV] RM (BTS) - forever rain
RM said he would be dropping his 'playlist' with only a few days warning.
It's his first solo album since his mixtape back in 2015.
It's completely free. You can listen to it on just about every streaming platform or download it.
Soundcloud link for 'mono'
Spotify link
Official twitter with download links
It's completely fucking amazing, to be honest. 11/10 would highly recommend.
[MV] Super Junior - Animals
Completely skipped over posting this a month ago.
It was the pre-release before Otra Vez.

[MV] MC Sniper - Cause I Love You
Would not recommend if you're freaked out by clowns or masks or drug abuse.
Thursday, October 11, 2018
[DEBUT] JEI - If You Love Me
JEI was in Amor, which I believe is disbanded. This is her debut as a soloist.
Tuesday, October 9, 2018
[MV] Super Junior X REIK - One More Time (Otra Vez)
Good to see Ryeowook back from military service.
[MV] Lee Hongki (with Cheetah) - I AM
Such an odd and unexpected collab. Must have connected while being coaches on Produce.
[MV] NCT 127 - Regular (English Ver.)
Might have to wait for a Korean version. I can't get past the lyrics. It's really hard to take bravado about making huge amounts of money seriously when I know what SM Ent.'s idol contracts are like. Lol.
Korean version added:
[MONTHLY] Favorites for SEPTEMBER 2018
Quite a wide range of genres in the full post. Jamie (Jimin Park) and Sunmi out on top this month. Maybe something of a femme fatale thing happening in both of these videos. Lol. Not intentional choices. I just like the tracks! Rock on, ladies!
In the full post: 100%, THE BOYZ, HAON/Jay Park/Hoody, GWSN, Purple J, THAMA, SURL, SHINee, PENTAGON, OH MY GIRL, Jay Park, MOVNING, Samuel Seo, Asol, LUCENTE, Park Sanhee, Station X 0 (SEULGI/SinB/CHUNG HA/SOYEON).

[CF] NU'EST W - I Don't Care
This is a collab with NCSOFT (Videogame publisher?) with their brand character Spoonz.
[MV] Park Won - rudderless
Interesting MV.
I wonder what they had to rig up to make breathing possible in that mask.
[OST] Mr. Sunshine Soundtrack compilation
Mr. Sunshine is a big budget K-Drama that has been releasing on Netflix Instant. The final episode went up yesterday and the MVs for the OST are all up. There's some nice stuff in there. I had posted Hyo Shin's Part 1, but decided to compile them once it was all out.
In the full post: Kim Yuna, Lee Suhyun (AKMU), MeloMance, Hyunsang Ha, Park Won, O3ohn, NU'EST W, Baek Ji Young, Sejeong (Gugudan), Hwang Chi Yeul, and Nam Hye Seung & Park Sang Hee.

There's a great compilation post on reddit with all the artists who made greetings across the industry.

[MONTHLY] Favorites for AUGUST 2018
I only just realized my favorites for August was still sitting in my drafts! Woops! Better (very) late than never, eh?
My top two were from Hyolyn and IMFACT. They aren't particularly innovative or unique, but they both scratched that itch for a catchy summer track. With SISTAR disbanded, I was grateful to get a fun SISTAR-esque effort from solo Hyolyn for the season.
In the full post: Villain, gracie, iKON, JUN, SISSO, LOONA, (G)I-DLE, MXM, BIGFLO, Gaeko/SOLE, OVAN/SHAUN, BTS, Ugly Duck/Chloe DeVita, Woogotsa, and Baekhyun/Loco.

[MV] WJSN - SAVE ME, SAVE YOU
Official channel link
I'm going to start using 'WJSN' instead of 'Cosmic Girls' in titles. I've always used both tags, but they've switched from primarily using 'Cosmic Girls' around debut... to WJSN for a while, so it's probably better to identify them this way.

Baek Yerin's new band! Seems like this is the direction she's going now.
