[MONTHLY] Favorites for OCTOBER 2022

Strong start to the month with Seulgi's big villain energy. Really cool track and great performance. Then nearly to the end of the month with ALICE's 'DANCE ON', which is a fantastically catchy bop. Nice comeback for them.

What happened after that in Itaewon was such a gut punch. Still very much on my mind. Only heartened to see that there will hopefully be better safety measures in the future.

[MV] JAMBINAI (feat. SWJA) - from the place been erased

[REMAKE] Rolling Quartz - Sing Your Heart Out

[MV] MUSTB - ALL DAY

[MV] LEESEOKHOON - Distance

[OST] Cha Eunwoo (ASTRO) - Love Sailing

From the upcoming 'Decibel' movie OST.

[MV] VIVIZ - Rum Pum Pum

Was intrigued by the teasers for this since the visuals looked so elaborate. But as is often the case with the UNIVERSE tracks, the song is pretty bland.

[MV] NATURE - LIMBO!

Man, that instrumental is tough. Caustic on my ears. I almost dislike this as much as Oopsie My Bad.

[MV] YooA (OH MY GIRL) - Lay Low & Melody

Pre-releases for YooA's upcoming album. Both pretty nice. I really like Melody.
