Asian Junkie Asian pop. Without discretion.
Hello and welcome to your regularly scheduled playlist of songs you probably missed last month. This month is a short one, so let’s go!
——
Ra Miran & Mirani – “Ramirani”
A fun little bop, and an extremely satisfying team-up.
Lee Eunsang & BDC – “Hole In Your Face”
Smooth groove with a sweet, playful edge. Part of TEN PROJECT, Part 2.
Zelo – “ILL LOVE”
So I always think that a “hook” where you just repeat the same thing over and over again is a bit cheap, but I like Zelo so…I’ll allow it. Is this his best work? No. Do I think he will find his feet if he keeps going? Yes absolutely.
Onewe – “A.I.”
Basically every song on this album is great, so really I just advise everyone to listen to the whole thing.
LUCY – “I Got U”
Summer belongs to Lucy now, I don’t make the rules.
Woodie Gochild ft. CHANGMO – “Jackson”
Absolutely passes the “can I bop to it?” test.
Xydo – “Can’t Fall In Love”
God, Xydo has such a lovely voice. Somehow I forget every time and then as soon as I listen to him again I’m like, who is this smoooooooooooooth smooth boy?
Sam Kim – “The Juice”
The Juice wins “favourite song on the playlist” this month.
Yezi – “Secreto”
I can’t pretend I don’t miss Yezi as a rapper, but I do really like her vocals so can I complain? No.
NIve – “Escape”
Na na na na naaaaaa na, na na na na naaaaaaa na, na na na na my escaaaaaape~ Very much an earworm, to the point where I dare anyone to not love this song too.
