MONDAY MUSIC MUSINGS II

It's Monday all over again, which means I'll be counting down to Friday again . I had a lot of fun exploring new music the last two weeks! Apart from BTS  I Need U , I have switched my playlist to include some more... sentimental notes. First up, INFINITE's leader Kim Sung Kyu is back with his second mini album! Featuring a total of seven songs, including the intro, three of these tracks manage to make it into my playlist. One of his two title songs is this emotional ballad with some pretty heavy tones titled Kontrol . (Love the play on spelling here, by the way.) I feel the immense desperation of clinging onto a love that is no longer. I also feel the courage of holding on, waiting and inviting back a love that has gone. This is one of the songs I could listen to all night because it successfully puts me in a state of deep thought. It separates me from the real world and lets me momentarily immerse in a separate time, a time where I can safely and slowly ref...

MONDAY MUSIC MUSINGS I

Kickstarted the month of May with the comeback of my all-time favourite group - BIG BANG . God knows how long I've waited for the group's comeback, especially when I wasn't fully satisfied with Fantastic Baby. I mean, it was supposed  to be a triple title song promotion with Blue and Bad Boy but Fantastic Baby shot through the roof and the other two title songs got lost along the way. Anyway, two years later and VIPs are beaming with pride and joy at Big Bang's (yet another) evolution. And I say evolution  because it amazes me how they transform their musicality and manage to produce new unique sounds time and time again. Of the two songs released, Loser and Bae Bae, I much prefer the former. I loved all the interpretations of the MV I have read so far but my favourite (and I agree with this) interpretation is that the MV might  reflect the reality that the members face as celebrities - always having to juggle between the need to maintain a reputation...

SATURATION

Good day, y'all! Today, I wanna share a couple of Korean boy groups I personally feel are underrated. ت I don't mean they should be sweeping online charts and winning number #1 on music programmes. I mean they deserve more recognition for their constant effort. Disclaimer: My focus will be on the group as a whole  and not why the group should be more popular because of certain members. I'm also the kind of person who'll explore other songs if  the comeback song sounds good so you'll find the other songs I list are comeback  songs. Should you want to find out more, I'm sure YouTube will serve as a good platform. ت ---------- #1. ZE:A The group debuted on 2010 with their single Mazeltov  and while the song never made it onto my list ( Friday, Saturday, Sunday~  anyone?), they've made quite a huge progress since then. The song that really caught my attention and put ZE:A within my radar is Here I Am . I remember this song was released almost...

METRONOME

Before posting, I'd like to share the following music video by Jay Park.   Jay Park is, by far, one of my favourite  solo male artist. ☺ Metronome  has been on replay ever since I first heard it two days ago. What makes the song even more awesome is the fact that Simon D and Gray are in it too! I'm so proud of Simon D for making his comeback in this song. I've always wondered what would happen to his music career ever since Supreme Team disbanded last year but hearing him rap again has got to be one of the best ways to celebrate the end of this semester. ☺ I also really, really love Gray's part. It's just so… amazing. Anyway, enjoy the song and spread the goodness! Moving on to what I'm about to share. Today marked the last day of Y2S2. Not that there's nothing left to school but I've officially ended all my lessons and what's left are the written papers and my listening and oral test for Jap. Other than that, I guess I could ...
