[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.

[MV] BF - ADONIS

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

[MV] Messgram - Animal of Prey

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.

In the full post: fromis_9, ONEUS, A.C.E, Stray Kids, STAYC, Young K, ICHILLIN', Meaningful Stone, PURPLE KISS, BIBI, 015B/Yeona, ATEEZ, MAMAMOO, SUMIN/Slom, WOOSUNG, BORN WILD, PARKMOONCHI, and Ciipher.

[MV] ONEW X Punch - Way

[MV] DAVICHI - Everyday Christmas

[MV] BADROOM (feat. Mingginyu) - Bedroom

[MV] JUNG YUP - Tonight

[MV] chanju (feat. Wonstein) - zZz

Starts off very chill and quiet. Worth sticking it out for all the layered vocal fun and harmonies. Really pretty.

[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

Interesting mix of super mellow and anthemic.

[MV] Gaho - Part time lover

Flashing light effects throughout

[MV] Eian (feat. Angelina Danilova) - Ella

[MV] SEVENTEEN - Ainochikara (Jpn.)
