- listen. This song is just everything I wanted for seulgi’s solo debut. The vibe of the song fits her voice so incredibly well and the entire concept is just so cool. She’s one of the very few people in the industry rn that can pull off a song like this. The way it’s so stripped back really allows her vocals to shine. Rv honestly never disappoint. This entire EP was amazing -

2: ANTIFRAGILE - LE SSERAFIM
- dare I say,,, soty… honestly, antifragile is iconic, so incredibly catchy and also really refreshing with its soundscape compared to the current industry. This song is a big slay and deserves all the praise -

1: Anywhere But Home - SEULGI
- I fell in love with this song on first listen and just never fell out of love. It’s become sort of a comfort song for me and it never fails to make me feel nice and warm inside. Also just on a technical standpoint this song has such a good vibe. Idk how to express all the love for this song the is compressed in my body, but be assured it’s in there -
7: Black Mamba (Orchestra Version) - Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra
6: A Fairy Tale of Youth - Jong Ho
5: Wake up (School of Rock) - COCONA
4: Let’s Get Together - ATEEZ

3: Drive It Like You Stole It - Jackson Wang
- Jackson Wang From China once again delivering some top tier music. This album was really solid with a clear musical direction and I really liked it. Very chill but sophisticated. This song specifically spoke to me because it’s just incredibly easy to vibe to. Also makes me happy to listen to it in the car because they’re talking about driving (not really but that’s what I’m choosing to believe) -
.
2: Animal Farm - BIBI
- oh my god what a fucking song!!!! The fact that this is a pre-release is absolutely insane. This song makes me feel powerful and the mv was also just insanely good. Genuinely one of my favorite songs she’s released. The soundscape of this song is super cohesive and works well to build that good Vibe. And I gotta be honest,, strings for a dark spy-like songs are always a weak point for me -
.
1: One In A Billion - ENHYPEN
- Honestly don’t have much to say. Just a good rock song that makes me want to get up and unionize or smth idk -
- I don’t have much to say about this song except that it has a really nice chill groove and that out of all the songs on newjeans’ debut album this one was the most underappreciated -
.
2: Brave - TWICE
- This song reminds me so much of victorious specifically and so it invokes some really funky childhood nostalgia for me. It’s also super fun to sing along to and just genuinely nice -
.
1: Attention - NewJeans
- so I’m not really on board with debuting such young kids but they undeniably have some really good music. NewJeans is kinda hit or miss for me but attention is definitely a Hit with capital H. The production on this is just spot on and sounds absolutely magical. Perfect summer song with some really fun use of samples and some absolutely stellar vocals (and also the outro will never leave my brain again) -
