[MV] PSY (feat. SUGA) - That That

Quintessentially PSY.
Still cracking up about SUGA's involvement. He was just going to produce the track and that would be it. Ended up roped into rapping on it, appearing in the MV, hamming up some acting scenes, learning choreo, and performing it in the mass dancing scenes. PSY basically pulled a BangPD on him, promising he wouldn't have to dance when first putting BTS together. LOL.

[MV] Dreamcatcher - MAISON

I think that's the best rap part I've ever heard from Dami. I'm a little frustrated by how much English there is overall, but it still sounds great. The English hook works. MV is wild. Kinda glad I know nothing about Dreamcatcher lore. Lol.

[MONTHLY] Favorites for March 2022

Catching up with February and March at the same time. February was so sparse and then March made up for it. Lots of good stuff. Top choices nicely represent R&B, Rock, and Pop.

Kwon Jin Ah's 'Pink!' is my favorite with a great uplifting vibe. Then we've got 9001's 'Zinnia' which has a driving rock sound that would actually be great for literal driving. And my ultimate bias rounds it out with a straightforward EDM track.

In the full post: TEMPEST, sogumm/Keumbee, ADORA, TAN, Park Bom, Jay Park/IU, JAEMAN, NU'EST, WEi, Solar, WAY1, Rad Museum/DEAN/LEE HI, XG, Red Velvet, VERIVERY, meenoi/10cm, OH MY GIRL, Heize, MUSM/oceanfromtheblue, Younha, and KINGDOM.

[MONTHLY] Favorites for FEBRUARY 2022

It was a quieter month for releases due to the Olympics.

Only one top pick. Taeyeon's 'INVU' will certainly make it to the end of the year. A catchy, cohesive, pretty track while the current trend is bombastic, cluttered, Frankensteiny, and discordant. Makes it that much sweeter for me. Also a gorgeous MV.

In the full post: JAMIE, VIVIZ, Moonbin&Sanha, Epik High/Wonstein/pH-1, WONHO, STAYC, Woody, SHAUN/Yuna, WOOSUNG, Rocket Punch, and WELOVE/Anandelight.
