Hello everyone!! I will now let you know what songs I’ve
been listening to since the last post.
1.
DPR Live- Know Me ft Dean
2.
DPR Live- Right Here Right Now ft Loco & Jay
Park
This first two songs are from the same
artist, that is why I will share the same space on the post. Dream Perfect
Regime is an independent multi-genre music and video group
(dreamperfectregime.com). This group creates, direct, and edit different types
of visual work, as well as curate’s artist stemming from different music
backgrounds. The group is based on Seoul, and its main goal is to engage
viewers to a unique experience with visuals and audio output. Two of the visual
producer you might know, since one is Christian Yu, former member and leader of
the group C-Clown and was known as Rome, and the other guy is Scott Kim, one of
Amber’s (F(x)) friends and was part of the YouTube Channel “What The
Pineapple”. The group has been active since 2014, and now they are taking a
more active part on the music side of it. They released a couple of projects
the last March, from which we have the collaboration with Dean, as well as with
Loco and Jay Park.
3.
Highlight- Plz Don’t Be Sad
The group Highlight has made their debut,
well re-debut. Formerly known as Beast, the past month the members had made
their “debut” after departing from Cube Entertainment and stablishing a joint
label, Around Us. On February, the group decided on the name “Highlight”
because it was the last title of their album as Beast, and released their
mini-album “Can You Feel It?” on March 20. Two songs where released, “It’s
Still Beautiful” which is a slow song, and “Plz Don’t Be Sad” an upbeat track.
4.
CNBlue- Between Us
CNBlue has made their comeback since “You’re
So Fine” from April 2016. 7ยบ CN is their seventh mini-album and their lead
single is the track “Between Us” which conveys the confusing feelings that can
lead to a romantic relationship.
5.
GOT7- Never Ever
GOT7 has finally arrive! After the release
of “Departure” and “Turbulence” the group has released the last album from this
series, which title is “Arrival”. For the first time JY Park “Asian Soul” has
produced a song for the group since their debut on 2014. The single track “Never
Ever”, has the feel of “The Asian Soul” and it’s has the dance music touch.
6.
Code Kust ft G Soul and Tablo- Fire Water
Code Kust is a producer from Highgrnd and
has released a couple of tracks, like “Parachute” and “Beside Me”. For this
song we have G Soul, a JYP Entertainment R&B artist who has made his debut
on 2015 after 15 years of training. Alongside him we have Tablo, founder of
Highgrnd and leader/ producer of the Korean hip-hop group Epik High. This track
is part of the album “Muggle’s Mansion”, in which the previous two tracks are
part of.
7.
Rap Monster ft Wale- Change
The lead rapper and leader of the boy group
BTS, Rap Monster, is well known around the music industry in South Korea for
his amazing rapping skills and lyrics, as well internationally. That is why you
shouldn’t be surprise when I mention his collaboration with Wale, an American
rapper from Washington D.C. The collaborating song “Change” is in English, and
it was released on March 19 under iBig Hit.
8.
So Ji Sub ft Changmo- Are You With Me?
After a long time our beloved So Ji Sub is
back with new music. Even though So Ji Sub is known internationally by his
incredible acting projects (The Master’s Sun, Oh My Venus), he is also a
R&B/ Hip-Hop singer. His last music project was on 2015 with the song “So
Ganzi”, this time his back with a more romantic/ slow song. You can really fall
for him all over again after you hear him sing.
9.
Eric Nam ft Somi- You, Who?
I personally love Eric Nam, he had a great
job after graduating from college and was gaining a lot of money, but his
passion was music. So, he moved from Atlanta to South Korea to persuade his
dream, and slowly he has gained the attention of the Korean fans, and
international fans. Born and raised on the US, Nam was going for a whole new
goal on the Korean music business that let him debut on 2013 with “Cloud 9”.
From singer, MC, correspondent of the entertainment show “Section TV”, and a great
number of variety show appearance, Nam was a well-known raising star. On 2016,
he came more active to the music scene with great collaborations and his
digital single “Can’t Help Myself”. Now, for this new single, Nam has made a
collaboration with JYP’s singer and former member of I.O.I, Jeon Somi. It’s a
cute track, filled with love and innocence.
10.
Gugudan- A Girl Like Me
Jellyfish’s girl group, Gugudan, has made
their comeback with the song “A Girl Like Me’. Whit a little more mature look than
the one they use to have for their debut on 2016. Obviously, the song has that
catchy beat and great choreography, a great characteristic from any good k-pop
group.
Well, this is all for now. Thank you for the support and
hope to be back next month with more great music from the Korean scene. Like
and share ^.~
