[DEBUT] MAVE: - PANDORA

New virtual girl group. It's like aespa and K/DA had a baby.

[MV] XG - SHOOTING STAR (Eng.)

I only like the R&B parts of the song. The rest isn't for me. But I want to acknowledge the MV is mesmerizing and impressive. It also feels like the most perfect fusion I've ever seen of Western pop trending sound mixed with East Asian, K-Pop/J-Pop aesthetic and performance training. Not sure if I'll always be posting XG since their official stuff will probably all be in English? It's an interesting project though.

I didn't post it at the time, but back in November they had a cypher project that went a bit viral. Thought that was cool since it's in English, Korean, and Japanese. I'll pop it in here now.

[MONTHLY] Favorites for DECEMBER 2022

Mellow December as usual, but I enjoyed 'Ditto' there at the end. NewJeans is really the most exciting new group for me. Good vibe to close out the year.

Committed to getting my full 2022 Eclectic favorites list up before the end of January. Frustrated I didn't fully catch up with the previous years, but those drafts are actually close, so I'll just get them up when I can this year.

In the full post: Stella Jang, Lee Seung Yoon, RM/Anderson .Paak, SHINHWA WDJ, Motte, Fromm, SOHA, GEMINI, SHAUN, NCT DREAM, Forestella, Moonbyul, and ATEEZ.

[MV] GOT the beat - Stamp On It

[MV] YENA (feat. BE'O) - Love War

Big shift from SMARTPHONE. Good stuff.

[MV] TAEYANG (feat. JIMIN) - VIBE

Big warning!! Heavy strobing/flashing lights throughout.

Was pretty excited about this since Taeyang was mostly the only BIGBANG member I was interested in for music and performance. And then I'm a big fan of Jimin. It's a fun straightforward pop song. Not super interesting, but it's pleasant. Surreal to see a 2nd and 3rd gen idol, not in the same company, do a collab like this.

The MV though... I can barely watch for the chaotic lights. Bummer. Only got a short dance challenge video, but I'd really love a dance practice. Not gonna hold my breath, but 🙏
