For this edition, I'm going to do
something different. I had a little trouble to find tracks that really got me
going, that's why I decided to take 5 songs for the month of February and 5 songs
from the month of March. I hope you like it, and check them out!
1.
Henry: Monster
Super Junior M member, Henry, released a new track on
February of 2018. This song was release in Korean, Chinese, and English, with
MV for the English and Chinese versions. The track is an alternative R&B
song with a bit of a rock vibe, which talks about the struggle with the end of
a relationship.
2.
Hyolyn: To Do List
After leaving Starship Entertainment and the disbandment of
SISTAR, Hyolyn decided to go on her own. She stablished her own agency called
bird3. "To Do List" is the first song that she produced herself. An
acoustic ballad with lyrics about someone delaying a breakup and the struggle
to part away. The track is one of a three single project called "Set Up
Time". She decided to not appear on broadcast for her comeback, just
communicate with fan through music.
3.
Suzy: SObeR
Suzy has released a new album title "Faces of
Love", with seven tracks. The song "SObeR" is the one that got
me, with some retro nods and an upbeat sound with a great chorus. The lyrics of
the song were writing by her, and talks about wanting to know someone's true
feelings.
4.
Red Velvet ft Hitch Hiker: I Just
The group Red Velvet released their song "I Just" in
November, but it was 'till February that they released the MV for the track.
Filmed on a van, gives us the vibe of a road trip. It was a one take shot with
minimal effects, like animations and colors. The song help us to hear each member’s
unique vocals.
5.
Ailee: Rewrite If I Can
This new track is part of the web drama OST, "This
Flower Ending". The song can be describe as Ailee's comeback as the
"OST Queen". As the title describes, the track talks about rewriting
the history to get back to that loved one.
6.
Got7: One and Only You
The JYP boy band made their comeback with the album
"Eyes On You" which has seven tracks. "One and Only You" is
a pre-release of the album and title track "Eyes On You". The track
that I selected for the list is a collaboration song with Hyolyn, "One and
Only You" it's a playful track with different melodies. The album
"Eyes On You" topped various music charts all over the World.
7.
Mamamoo: Starry Night
The group has release the title song "Starry
Night" from their mini album "Yellow Flower". The track talks
about a romance happening under a starry night. The member Moon Byul was part
of the lyricists of the track. On the MV you could see beautiful scenarios from
New Zealand.
8.
iKON: Rubber Band
On March, the group announced the addition of the track
"Rubber Band" to their promotions. The group made their comeback on
January with the album "Return", and positioned themselves at #4 on
Billboard's World Albums. The label shared a dance practice video of the group
on March 7. BI and WINNER’s Song Mino made the writing and composing of the
song. The track describes the stage that comes right before a break up.
9.
J-Hope: Daydream
The most anticipated project from one of BTS rappers was
release this past March. The mixtape from member J-Hope was named by fans
"Hixtape" but it's official title is "Hope World". It has
seven tracks, from which two MV's where release. The first one was
"Daydream", which has a psychedelic layback vibe with a 90's tune.
Meanwhile, the second MV, "Airplane" is a poetic outburst of his
youthful dreams of flying around the world on a plane and achieving it thanks
to his work and success.
10.
Heize: MAINHAE (Sorry)
The new album from R&B artist, Heize, has finally come
out on March. "Wish & Wind" has seven tracks, and two MV release,
"Jenga" ft. Gaeko, which is the title track, and "MAINHAE
(Sorry)". Even though the latter is not the title track, you can be easily
drown by its retro-modern R&B tune and jazzy vibe with an incredible hook
of the word "mainhae" along the song.
Well, this is for now. Hope you like
the new format and comeback for the next post. Like and share!!!!!!^.~
