• ~ MAY 2021 ~

    Hello everyone and welcome to the top Kmusic of May 2021! This month was filled with emotions to say the least: Taemin released his last solo comeback before his enlistment, NCT Dream finally came back as 7 with their Hot Sauce album, and TXT put out an incredible album. If you want to know my opinion about their "Chaos chapter: Freeze" album, click here.

    The usual disclaimer before we start: All the pictures included in this article are screenshots taken by me from official music videos if there is copyright infringement, I apologize in advance and will remove any problematic picture upon the owner's request. 

    You'll be able to find the link to the YouTube playlist at the end of the article. If you're asking yourself why I don't make a Spotify playlist instead, it's because I don't use Spotify. I'm an Apple Music user, and since not everyone uses the same music platform, I find it easier to create a YouTube playlist so you can listen to all the songs at once.

    So, without any further due, let's start!

    #19 Highlight - Not the end (comeback) - May 3

    Highlight Not the end comeback MV screenshotI really felt that "I'm still here it's not the end". I'm so glad to hear them making music again. Highlight (formerly known as "Beast") didn't have an easy career. They come from really far and now that all the members completed their military services I believe it will be a new beginning for the group. Watch the official MV for "Not The End" here.

     

     

     

    #18 Aespa - Next Level (comeback) - May 17

    Aespa Next level comeback MV screenshotI understand why people are mad at SM for not giving aespa an original song for them, because this song was revealed to be a remix of a soundtrack from "Fast & Furious". However, this song grew on me and I find myself humming "I'm on the next, level" from time to time, so this means that the song got into my head. I still am mad at SM for putting so much autotune over their real vocals, knowing that they have beautiful singing voices. But no, everything has to be polished. Screw you SM. Watch the official MV for "Next Level" here.

    #17 Oh My Girl - Dun Dun Dance (comeback) - May 10

    Oh my girl dun dun dance comeback MV screenshotI honestly didn't know much about Oh My Girl before watching Queendom back in 2019, and I never thought I'd stan a girl group with such a girly/cute concept because I usually don't like things that are too cute borderline cringy, but Oh My Girl is different. I cannot explain it, they're just nice to listen to. Watch the official MV for "Dun Dun Dance" here.

     

     

    #16 ITZY - Mafia in the morning (comeback) - April 30

    ITZY mafia in the morning comeback MV screenshotMafia in the morning… look, I really didn't like that song when it came out, because I didn't like the melody and the sound of it. The concept was ok, and the girls rocked the outfits and the choreography. But I still have a real problem with the song that just isn't my style. I will put it in the ranking only to give credits to the girls who still worked hard at the end of the day and deserve recognition. And the choreography is still amazing, kudos to whom choreographed it. Watch the official MV for "Mafia In The Morning" here.

    #15 Shaun - Closed ending (comeback) - May 9

    Shaun Closed Ending MV screenshotI really wanted to share that song with you because Shaun is not a very well-known artist, and he deserves more than that. This song smells summer, it's soft and relaxing. Shaun has a very soothing and deep voice that brings comfort.  Watch the official MV for "Closed Ending" here.

     

     

     

    #14 TO1 - Son of Beast (comeback) - May 20

    TO1 son of beast comeback mv screenshotTO1 (formerly known as TOO) is a group I kind of have on my radar since Road to Kingdom. They are still rookies, but they are starting to define their identity, and I don't want them to disband that soon. I'm saying this because there has been issues with their management, I hope it won't harm their future, because they sound promising! Watch the official MV for "Son of Beast" here.

     

    #13 Wonwoo X Mingyu (of Seventeen) ft. Lee Hi - Bittersweet (digital release) - May 28

    won woo x Mingyu ft lee hi bittersweet mv screenshotWhat a trio! I need to know who suggested that collab, because he deserves a raise. That song is the definition of COOL. I think this song is closer to the blues genre than the jazz genre, and I absolutely loved it. It's just that to appreciate that song, I have to be in a very specific mood, in which I'm not often in. Watch the official MV for "Bittersweet" here.

     

    #12 Joy (of Red Velvet) - Hello (solo debut) - May 31

    Joy of red velvet hello solo debut mv screenshotI read a lot about the controversy about Joy's solo album being only remake songs, and I can totally understand why people might feel offended especially that Joy is a confirmed artist who had proven herself enough in my humble opinion, and giving her a remake album is perceived by some people as saying "you're not good enough for us to make you original songs". But I still think that she did a good job, and if I wouldn't have read about all this I would have never thought about this album being a remake album. This whole story put aside, Joy's vocals are so melodious and pure, I can definitely see her making a career in a musical or her singing for many OSTs because she has the adequate voice for that. As soon as I heard this song I genuinly felt happy. Watch the official MV for "Hello" here.

    #11 Enhypen - Fever (release) - May 19

    Enhypen fever mv screenshotFever was initially my least favourite song on their second mini album, but watching this MV made me think again. I listened to the song more often after this, and the MV really helped me understanding the vibe of the song. I now really like the chorus, better than the verses. Watch the official MV for "Fever" here.

     

     

     

    #10 WJSN The Black - Easy (unit debut) - May 12

    WJSN the black unit debut easy mv screenshotThat song left me speechless… I really have no words. The only thing I can say is that I was NOT expecting this at all. I'm not a fan of WJSN, but WJSN "The Black" is a whole other mood. First of all, WOMEN IN SUITS ARE EVERYTHING! Second, the ATTITUDE and the choreography made me forget to breathe. I'm going to keep an eye on that unit for sure. Watch the official MV for "Easy" here.

    #9 YUQI (of (G)-IDLE) - Bonnie and Clyde (solo debut) - May 20 [ENGLISH]

    YUQI bonnie and Clyde mv screenshotYuqi got me SHOOK! First, with Giant that holds an exceptional message. Second, with that song and her deep vocal tone! I had no idea she had such a deep and hypnotizing voice. And she really has a good diction and a good intonation in her voice which adds meaning to the lyrics. Watch the official MV for "Bonnie and Clyde" here.

     

     

     

    #8 Ailee - Make up your mind (comeback) - May 7

    Ailee make up your mind comeback mv screenshotI honestly discovered Ailee through this song. I knew her before, but I didn't think this was the type of song she would make. I'm thankful to the Youtube algorithm for recommending me this song multiple times :) Watch the official MV for "Make up your mind" here.

     

     

     

     

    #7 BTS - Butter (digital single) - May 21 [ENGLISH]

    BTS butter mv screenshotI think we all agree by saying that Butter will be THE summer song of 2021. This song spreads such good vibes and good energy, and the dance is so fun to watch (not to do lol, otherwise I'd break my back even though I'm young). I'm getting used to Jungkook starting songs now, and I like it (his blue hair are... wow). Also, kudos to the stylist who gave that glowup to Jhope! And there's the second chorus that was shot in a basketball court that reminded me a bit of their song "DNA", am I the only one? Watch the official MV for "Butter" here.

    #6 Gaho - Rush Hour (comeback) - May 24

    Gaho rush hour comeback mv screenshotIf you guys still don't know Gaho, you're missing out on a LOT! I'm sure you've already heard his voice before, he sang a lot of kdrama OSTs, but this man is pure talent. I could recognize his voice from a thousand miles away, and I fall in love every time he puts out a new song. His voice is truly powerful, and it can go low as much as it can go high. Just go listen to this song and you'll hear for yourselves :) Watch the official MV for "Rush Hour" here.

     

    #5 NCT Dream - Hot Sauce (comeback) - May 10

    NCT dream hot sauce mv screenshotJust like any other NCT songs, I didn't like it at the first listen. But the more you listen to it, the more you like it, and then it gets stuck in your head, and then you start learning the lyrics to sing along with them. And then, if you're crazy enough, you start learning the choreography. On a more serious note, this song was definitely a grower, and now I listen to it at least once a day. Also, I'm so happy Mark is back and that they will still promote as 7 in the future. Watch the official MV for "Hot Sauce" here.

     

    #4 Oneus - Black Mirror (comeback) - May 11

    Oneus black mirror mv screenshotDid you notice that they teased that song at the end of their previous comeback "No Diggity"?  That was really cool. I love when comebacks are connected even though I don't understand the story behind it :) Anyways, Black Mirror has to be my favourite title track from them. It's groovy, it's easy to sing along to, the beat is nice, and the choreography is on point. There's nothing bad about this song, it's just amazing. Side note: The whistling sound reminded me of that old song called "I don't like it, I love it" from Flo Rida. Watch the official MV for "Black Mirror" here.  

    Before we move on to the top three, here are some honourable mentions. These songs are songs I don't listen to that much and that weren't my cup of tea at 100% but that I still think are worth checking out:

    • E'LAST U - The beginning of spring (unit debut) - May 19 - Official MV
    • Rocket Punch - Ring Ring (comeback) - May 17 - Official MV
    • Various Artists - Now n New 2021 - May 17 - Official MV
    • Astro - Our Spring (single) - May 23 - Official MV
    • Tae Ho (of IMFACT) - Ggoma - May 27 - Official MV
    • JayB - Switch it up (special single) - May 14 - Official MV

     

    #3 Everglow - First (comeback) - May 25

    Everglow first comeback mv screenshotI can't believe they are the same girls who debuted with "Bon Bon Chocolat". This song goes really HARD! And there's me who thaught that La Di Da was the hardest they could go for, oh boy they proved me wrong. That song goes hard in every aspect: The vocals, the choreography, the facial expressions, the attitude, even the editing of the Music Video. I'm not a fan of these black and orange outfits, but that's the only thing I didn't like in this comeback to be honest. This time Everglow really impressed me, I'm definitely going to check out the b-sides of this album if there are any. Watch the official MV for "First" here.

    #2 Taemin - Advice (comeback) - May 18

    Taemin advice comeback mv screenshotI still am in denial, I don't want to admit that prince Taemin is gone for two years in the military… Seriously, this man is the incarnation of creativity and artistry. This man dares defying all gender limits with no fear which I absolutely love, and he constantly evolves and keeps trying new things when he has already tried so many different genres and concepts! He always does it the "Taemin way", but in a way to still do something new and surprising at the same time. Is it even possible? That song is spectacular. The piano portion at the start is hypnotizing, and the vocals in the chorus are heavenly. And these rap-singing verses are so new but I love it! Watch the official MV for "Advice" here.

    #1 TXT - 0X1=Lovesong (I known I love you) ft. Seori (comeback) - May 31

    TXT 0x1=lovesong (I know I love you) the chaos chapter freeze comeback mv screenshotI don't think I've ever been that much in love with a song. The lyrics to the song are actually pretty sad when you analyze it, and they definitely went straight for the emo vibe in this comeback. But I don't know I just love that song, and the raspiness in Taehyun's voice during the chorus. Also, Seori's voice fits so well in this, even though she only sings 2 lines in the chorus, but these two lines had a strong impact on me. I recently read about RM of BTS contributing to writing the lyrics of this song and finding the title, and I honestly am not surprised at all. I'm not saying that all credits should be given to him, no, but I definitely see RM's writing style in this song. Watch the official MV for "0X1=Lovesong (I known I love you)" here.

    That's it for the top kmusic of May 2021! If you want to listen to all these tracks at once, click here to access the dedicated YouTube playlist. I'm not making any Spotify or Apple Music playlists simply because not everybody uses the same music service. 

    Take care and I'll see you soon!

  • ~ April 2021 ~

    Hello everyone and welcome to my top Korean music releases of April 2021. This month we had really interesting and unexpected comebacks. I was surprised by a lot of groups and artists, but I still think that my top 3 won't surprise anyone. I will never remind you enough that this ranking is 100% subjective, 100% based on my own tastes.

    Before we start, a little disclaimer: All the pictures included in this article are screenshots taken by me from official music videos if there is copyright infringement, I apologize in advance and will remove any problematic picture upon the owner's request. 

    You'll find the link to the YouTube playlist with all the songs in it by order at the end of the article. Now, we can start.

    #16 StayC - ASAP (comeback) - April 8

    StayC ASAP MV screenshot

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    That song is really weird! The verses are a bit cringy and the melody too "girly", but I really like the chorus that is relatively simple but catchy. It's that freaking instrument they're using in the chorus that makes it so catchy! Watch the official MV for "ASAP" here.

    #15 OnlyOneOf - LibidO (comeback) - April 8

    OnlyOneOf Libido MV screenshot

     

     

     

     

     

     

    For those who don't know what "libido" means, it's basically the hormone that's responsible of the sexual drive. I knew this before the song came out this is why I was surprised that the MV wasn't rated 18+ or something, but I'm glad that a group dares doing things like this, because it works. It's sexy without being vulgar, and I personally like it. There's one thing I'm not okay with tho and it's that long haircut. Dude, it's time you cut your hair. Watch the official MV for "Libido" here.

    #14 Kang Daniel - Antidote (comeback) - April 13

    Kang Daniel Antidote MV screenshot

     

     

     

     

     

     

    I don't think I can call myself a fan of Kang Daniel yet but I'm getting really close to it. This song is really good, and the MV is really original & beautiful! The song is catchy too, it really has everything to be a great song. Watch the official MV for "Antidote" here.

    #13 Rosé - Gone (Release) - April 4

    Rosé of Blackpink Gone MV screenshot

     

     

     

     

     

     

    I really like the accoustic guitar riffs in that song, it just adds emotions to a song that's already emotional. I was still hoping for more vocal-wise because we all know that Rosé has a killer voice, but she still does the job. Watch the official MV for "Gone" here.

    #12 Kim Sungkyu - Hush - March 29

    Kim Sungkyu Hush MV screenshot

     

     

     

     

     

     

      

    I know this song was released in march but I missed it and I wanted to include it in this month's ranking. This song gives me James Blunt "You're beautiful" vibes, it's calming and soothing, and the instrumental is not overcrowded. Watch the official MV for "Hush" here.

    #11 ONF - Ugly Dance (album repackage release) - April 28

    ONF ugly dance mv screenshot

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    This song is really weird, but I really like it because it's weird. We find that "futuristic" vibe they've been going with for a couple of comebacks now, but there's that groove in the chorus that makes this song really interesting and different from their previous releases. Watch the official MV for "Ugly dance" here

    #10 Day6 - You make me (comeback) - April 19

    Day6 you make me MV screenshot

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Everytime day6 comes back I listen to their album non-stop for like one whole week, and this album is no exception. I'm quite sad that this is their last comeback as a full group for a while because of Sungjin's enlistment, but it made me enjoy it more in that sense. You make me is a really good song,  it's easy to listen to and to vibe to. I also really like the drums in this song. Watch the official MV for "you make me" here.

    #9 The8 (of Seventeen) - Side by Side (solo release) - April 13

    The8 of Seventeen Side by Side MV screenshot

     

     

     

     

     

     

      

    What an interesting song from the8! I was not expecting this at all, I was maybe expecting something more contemporary and artistic, but this is very fun and light-hearted (which makes it easier to sing along to and I'm here for it). I especially like the counting part. Watch the official MV for "Side by side" here.

    #8 Hoshi (of Seventeen) - Spider (solo debut) - April 2

    Hoshi of seventeen Spider MV screenshot

     

     

     

     

     

    That MV is breathtaking. Hoshi portrays the most beautiful spider on earth, I'm not against meeting such a beautiful and elegant spider lol. I absolutely love he starts the chorus on a relatively low tone and while whispering, but then he switches his tone and the song becomes even more sexy and sensual. Watch the official MV for "Spider" here.

    #7 Chanyeol (of EXO) - Tomorrow (solo release) - April 6

    Chanyeol of EXO tomorrow MV screenshot

     

     

     

     

     

    Chanyeol has such a beautiful singing voice. I'm glad he's releasing a solo song even though it's under SM station. The song fits his style so much, I know I will casually listen to this song without any problem. I just wished it was a bit longer. Watch the official MV for "Tomorrow" here.

    #6 Astro - One (comeback) - April 5

    Astro One MV screenshot

     

     

     

     

     

     

    What a new concept for Astro! I was not expecting such a rap from rocky, but he's not my bias for nothing after all :p I'm also impressed by all the members for nailing this pretty hard choreography! "One" might not be my favorite title track from them, but it's definitely a grower. Watch the official MV for "One" here.

    #5 SuperM - We do (comeback) - April 9

    SuperM we do MV screenshot

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    I just love how this song pumps up your mood. I haven't been doing well for the past few days and this song really helped me get out of my bed when I didn't want to. Plus they just look so happy in the MV, and the dance is really energetic. Watch the official MV for "We Do" here.

    #4 IZ - Missing U (digital single) - April 22

    IZ missing you official MV screenshot

     

     

     

     

     

     

    IZ is a korean band I discovered last year, and every time they come back I am not disappointed. However they do come from a small company and they don't have enough exposure, so I'm taking this opportunity to help them get more fans. So please, go check them out, they really are worth it. The instrumental of "Missing U" reminded me a bit of Muse's "Starlight", and the main vocal has such a unique and distinct voice. Watch the official MV for "Missing U" here.

    Honorable mentions:

    #3 Enhypen - Drunk-Dazed (comeback) - April 26

    Enhypen Drunk Dazed MV screenshot

     

     

     

     

     

     

    I've been a fan since I-Land, and watching them grow up makes me feel like a proud mother. I'm really surprised at how mature they are now, how they gained confidence (especially Jake and Niki), and how they seem to embrace their career with so much energy. And although I'm still not a fan of that creepy vampire concept (it's not against them, I just really hate this concept), this song is really catchy and sticks to my mind. I just wished there was less autotune, because gosh I cannot differentiate the members' voices and that frustrates me so much because we all know they can all sing well! Watch the official MV for "Drunk-Dazed" here.

    #2 BTS - Film out (comeback) - April 1st [JAPANESE]

    BTS film out MV screenshot

     

     

     

     

     

     

    I find myself liking their Japanese stuff more than their Korean stuff I don't know why though… That "lalalalalala" part is so catchy, and the vocals are just heavenly. Do I even need to further explain? Watch the official MV for "Film out" here.

    #1 SHINee - Atlantis (album repackage release) - April 12

    SHINee Atlantis MV screenshot

     

     

     

     

     

     

      

    I prefer Atlantis to Don't Call Me. This song screams more Shinee, and the harmonizations are their signature. Plus the MV is really gorgeous, especially the "under water" scenes. It's as beautiful as the mystical city of Atlantis. Watch the official MV for "Atlantis" here.

    If you'd like to listen to all these beautiful songs in a row, you can access the dedicated YouTube playlist here

    That's it for my top Korean music of April 2021! Feel free to leave a comment below with your own favorites, I'm curious to know ^^

    Take care and I'll see you all soon!

  • ~ MARCH 2021 ~

    Hello everyone and welcome to the top Korean Music releases of March 2021! What a month honestly... This month I made some interesting discoveries that I cannot wait to share with you. We also had iconic comebacks with queen Jessie, Super Junior, IU, Jackson, Rosé, IKON and many more. Once again, I want to remind you that this ranking is a 100% subjective, and that I don't mean to offend anyone by not including their favorites on purpose. We all have different tastes, this is also the reason why I invite you to share your own personal favorite releases in the comments!

    #20 Ghost9 - Seoul (comeback) - March 11

    Ghost9 Kpop boy group comeback Seoul

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    I'm not a fan of the song, I'm a fan of its chorus. This chorus has everything: The vocals, the catchy instrumentals, even the memorable choreography. Watch the official MV for "Seoul" here.

     

    #19 Ateez - Fireworks (comeback) - March 1

    Ateez Kpop boy group comeback Fireworks (I'm the one) MV screenshot

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    This song is very Ateez-style. I didn't see the second part of the chorus coming and I was very surprise (in a positive way). I just wished they used less autotune in their songs because they obviously don't need it. Watch the official MV for "Fireworks (I'm the one)" here.

     

    #18 MCND - Not over (release) - March 4

    Kpop boy group MCND comeback Not over MV screenshot

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    I just smiled during the whole MV for one simple reason: They are wholesome. They just go all out in everything they do and that's what I love about them. This song screams youth. Watch the official MV for "Not over"here.

     

    #17 Stray Kids X Alesso & DJ Corsak - Going Dumb (special release) - March 19 

    Kpop boy group Stray kids with Alesso and DJ corsak going dumb MV screenshot

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    You got me going du-du-du-dumb! I mean, this song has nothing really special to it, it's just really catchy. I'm glad they got to collab with Alesso and DJ Corsak, it just gives them even more exposure. Watch the lyrics video for "Going Dumb" here.

     

    #16 Purple Kiss - Ponzona (debut) - March 15

    Kpop girl group Purple Kiss Ponzona MV screenshot

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Okay now I know that "Can we talk again" was a pre-debut track and that this song is their actual debut. These girls seriously have unique voices! Their concept is unique too. Yes, if I had to describe them, I'll say unique. Watch the official MV for "Ponzona" here.

     

    #15 Pentagon - Do or Not (comeback) - March 15

    Kpop boy group Pentagon Do or Not MV screenshot

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    That WHISTLE! What's with the whistle huh? Poor me I don't know how to whistle… But I'll whistle with them anyways. Please don't count how many times I wrote whistle, it's embarassing. I'm glad Hui had the time to participate in the production phase before his enlistment. Watch the official MV for "Do or Not" here.

     

    #14 MY.st - *Dazzle (comeback) - March 17

    Kpop boy group MY.st *Dazzle MV screenshot

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Remember when I said that I made some interesting discoveries this month? MY.st is one of them. They debuted back in 2020 under Mystar entertainment. I absolutely love the instrumental in this song and the chorus drop is really satisfying. Watch the official MV for "*Dazzle" here.

     

    #13 Verivery - Getaway (comeback) - March 2

    Kpop boy group Verivery Getaway MV screenshot

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Ehm… Excuse me? When did you have the time to grow up? I mean… you all are still young but you improved so much in the lapse of just one comeback! I'm impressed. I'm going to keep an eye on them. Watch the official MV For "Getaway" here.

     

    #12 Baekhyun (from EXO) - Bambi - March 30

    Kpop soloist Baekhyun comeback bambi MV screenshot

     

     

     

     

     

    This is Baekhyun's last solo comeback before he enlists in the military. I will surely miss him. To me Baekhyun revealed himself through his solo career, and I really appreciate his work. UN village is still my favorite song of his, but this one is a close second! Watch the official MV for "Bambi" here.

     

    #11 Woodz - Feel like (comeback) - March 15

    The sexy, hot guy from "love me harder" is BACK people! Bump Bump was nice but this, this is ion another level. The electric guitar at the beginning of the chorus? Chills. Watch the official MV for "Feel Like" here.

    They might not be 20 anymore but they never lost their energy. They just are legends at this point, putting out bops after bops. We need pum-it-up songs like these. Watch the official MV for "House Party"here.

    We asked for it, we waited, and now we got it. I wished she had a whole mini album but we got 2 songs so it's fine, I'm not going to complain. There's one scene in the MV where she writes "Rosé" on the mirror, and then it shows her real name "Roseanne", and I just cried at this point because I know how she felt there.

    I cried watching this "Visualizer". Whenever you show me puppies I will cry. They were so adorable. And her amazing vocals just adds another layer of emotions. I just love this artist. Watch the puppies version for Youha's "Zzz" here.

    I decided to include this song and not Lilac because this song is more my style.The way she just plays so easily with her voice is fascinating, and the jazzy/blues instrumental in this song just make you want to get up and dance with her. I also love her badass attitude, women in casinos are dangerous people :p Watch the official MV for "Coin" here.

     

    #6 Jackson Wang - Leave me loving you (single) - March 26

    Seems like the retro trend is still going on, and I'm not complaining. This song has definitely a nostalgic feeling to it, and I feel like Jackson's vocal keep on improving every time. I'm just a proud fan. And I also love how half of the music video is dedicated to explaining the behind the scenes of the MV, how it was filmed, the storyline, etc. Watch the official MV for "Leave me loving you" here.

     

    #5 IZ - Say Yes (digital single) - March 9

    IZ is a band that deserves the world. I beg you to give their songs a listen, and you'll see you won't regret it. I would recognize the singer's voice no matter what because his timber is so unique, and god please let me marry the bassist. Watch the official MV for "Say Yes" here.

     

    #4 Jessi - What type of X (comeback) - March 17

    And another banger from Queen Jessie! I just love how she's saying that she's basically a bad girl ("I'm so bad at being good") and that she's proud of it. Yes girl, just be whoever you want to be! Watch the official MV for "What type of X" here.

     

    Some honorable mentions before we enter the top 3:

    Okay, call me a fan. This man is a gem. When you watch this you know it won't be like anything out there. Christian has his own things going on in his mind and he wants to materialize it with his music and I absolutely love this. Watch the official MV for "Nerves" here.

     

    #2 Ikon - Why why why (digital single) - March 3

    I read somewhere that the song was going to end on a bridge, and I was like "no way, that's impossible". And they did it, and I was left speecheless. This song is really emotional, and damn all the members got better at singing, especially DK. I really hope it's not the only comeback we'll hear from them this year.

    #1 B.I - Midnight blue (single) - March 19

    I cannot put into words what I felt when listening to this song. First, I'm just happy to hear B.I making music again. Second, the animation is really beautiful. Last, the lyrics are very deep. We all are going through tough times, and the last sentence "So go ahead and cry" is really triggering. Indeed, cry if it makes you feel better. It's okay to cry and it's okay to feel sad, and it's really liberating when you just scream it out. Watch the official MV for "Midnight Blue" here.

    And that's a wrap! As curious as I am I would love to know your personal favorites of this month, so why don't you leave a little comment down there? 

    As usual I'm leaving the link to the YouTube playlist with all the songs in them if you want to listen to them all in a row.

    Take care and I'll see you all very soon!

    Love, Swan
