Asian Junkie Asian pop. Without discretion.
Mainly there’s one standout that deviates from the latest boy group trend that’s interesting. Other than that, a lot of pleasant but forgettable stuff.
======
Lee Su Jeong – “Walk The Moon”
If you don’t recognize the name, it’s former Lovelyz member Baby Soul with a trop house solo effort and she doesn’t really have the right vocal to carry it as there’s a lot of sharpness/shrillness to it.
——
Miyeon ((G)I-DLE) – “Drive”
Yeah, sorta feel the same way as above about this. It’s cute, light, and sentimental but the delivery isn’t appealing to me and the instrumental isn’t anything noteworthy.
——
Yoon Ji Sung – “Bloom”
Safe and pleasant but quite forgettable for me.
——-
E’LAST – “Creature”
Actually found this interesting just for the fact that it has an anti-drop that opts for almost complete silence aside from the bass over random noise. I can’t tell if it’s intriguing just cause it did something different or I actually enjoy it, but it’s neat.
——-
Soyou (Feat. BE’O) – “Business”
Good to fall asleep to in the living room accidentally when you meant to just close your eyes for a bit. Also, I still don’t get how or why BE’O became a thing.
——
DKB – “Sober”
All of the tracks like this … I guess if you’re a dancer this kind of stuff is useful, but I just could never imagine seeking this out to listen to.
——
MONSTA X – “LOVE”
Fascinating that as everybody goes with hyper-aggressive sounds that are kinda Monsta X-esque that they kind tone things down. Always felt they do it well and this is a nice effort again, though it does get a bit repetitive on multiple listens.
