New Albums and Songs of June and July that left us speechless!!
The world is in a halt due to Covid19. Everyone is working from home including artists. We have not been getting any new music videos from artists yet but Kpop and K-hiphop just wont stop. 2020 may not be the year for us but its definitely the year for them and we their fans cant thank them enough. Artists have been releasing one song after another, one mv after another and one album after another.
1. Blackpink is the Revolution!!
BlackPink has driven the world crazy with their new hit How You Like That. They are breaking records and the internet. the BBC, BillBoards, Youtube and all the major news channels are talking about how a South Korean K-pop girl group just made 5 records. Honestly, I was beyond excited when they were going Live on Youtube. As soon as they dropped the song, it caught me in the first play. it didnt have to grow on me. I just fell in love with it immediately and I am sure Blinks all over the world did.
Yes, the music, lyrics, instrumentals and the song as a whole wasn't something out of the world. Teddy produced it and we all kinda had this type of production coming. We know Teddy's touch. Don't we? Yes YG stans, you got me. But look at the video quality, makeup, outfit, choreography and lighting. Mindblowing. YG knows how to invest on their talented girls. What I liked most about their outfit is the way they styled their traditional Hanboks. Moreover, hasn't YG gone through a lot already? After all the scandals and bashings, they did well. They didnt break the promise of giving the Blinks what they've been waiting for. Blackpink deserves this fame and we are proud of them. All thanks to YG the OG.
2. HEADLINER by SIK-K
This comes from the K-hiphop world. Our dearest Kwon Min Sik from H1gher Gang enlisted in the military on 29th June 2020 and fans all over the world are sad for sure. Just when Sik-k was rolling in the world of k-hiphop, he had to go. But he knew what he had to leave behind. He left his fans with two albums this year. Isn't that just great? He released Officially OG in April and HeadLiner in June.
If you are into Hiphop and you are not listening to Sik-k then you are missing out on a lot. The best tracks from this album are Tell Ya, Darling, Nirvana, Need her (HeadLiner Deluxe) and Joe (HeadLiner Deluxe). Tune into his tracks and I swear you wont be disappointed. Also, dont forget to watch his mv/short film Tell ya and Darling ft. Crush.
3. RANDOM BOX by ZICO
Lets cheer for the King of the Zungle. Zico, coming for a Kpop boy group always has a pop touch to his rap tracks. He raps really well no doubt but his songs are the type that even kids will enjoy. He makes it all sound fun and cheerful. The Tik Tok challenges act as cherry on top. In January he dropped Any Song and that did really well. Last year he released two mini albums Thinking1 and Thinking2 and a Fanxy Child single "Y". he surely knows how to balance the pop and hiphop in his tracks. Thats what makes him what he is.
The latest mv Summer Hate featured Rain and we cant get enough of it. Here's the best part. Rain is back to the Kpop and K-hiphop world after so many years and we are beyond happy. We missed him. The mv is superbly done with all the animations that I am sure anyone will enjoy. When you listen to Kpop, you dont have to know the language. The visuals do the work.
4. MARIA by HWASA
Hwasa from Mamamoo is the new badass girl we love in the Kpop world. She has great vocals and doesnt give a damn about what people say about her. Knets tend to control their idols a lot but Hwasa is the queen of her own world. She is also getting noticed by Hollywood singers like Dua Lipa. They even did a collab named "Physical". Give it a listen.
Her mv Maria is aesthetic and not like the usual kpop we see. It has a charm of its own. It very much represents just the type of artist Hwasa is. Strong and sexy. The best part of the mv is the same ouotfit worn by the female and male dancers as well as Hwasa. The best tracks of her new album are Maria ofcourse, Why (my fav) and LMM (the most melodious one). Honestly, I dont think so Hwasa can make bad music. She cant. She just cant.
