#like yubin's me time was objectively good but I didn't enjoy it myself

[ayeonz]

checking out a bunch of releases from the last two weeks or so:

txt - can you see me? the cinematography is amazing! i love the song. the second verse??? what the fuck??? what is going on???? i love it??? im scared????? i can't work out the symbolism but im scared of it. total jam tho, no pun intended

onlyoneof - angel (prod. gray) the mv is really cute and i love the use of neon green. the female actor is cute as hell. this is definitely a gray song. its not soty but this is definitely going on my playlist because i like the vibe.

d-crunch - pierrot the "cliche cliche" line is lowkey funny because this is a very cliche boy group song BUT i am in love with the drop. second verse is really good and i fucking LOVE the dance break instrumental. def a keeper. would've preferred the whole mv was shot with the colourful scenes because the outdoor and white scenes are kinda meh.

day6 - zombie (english version) i think i like the english lyrics better tbh, i guess they're easier for me as an international fan to relate that. totally love it, this is my favourite side of day6

ryu sujeong - tiger eyes i really did not expect this type of solo debut from a lovelyz member but isn't that the whole point of a solo debut anyway? her voice really suits this and she looks gorgeous, i even like the leopard print (but why isn't she wearing tiger print? lmao). it reminds me of billie eilish bad guy a little bit too

secret number - who dis? THIS BEAT!!!! IT'S SO 2015 NUGU!!!! I LOVE THAT SO MUCH!!!!! the main vocalist's tone reminds me of ailee, like the chorus sounds like an old ailee song because of her. the raps are pretty good (kpop standards tho, obviously) also YES JINNY GO JINNY star of the fucking show YES

crush - mayday (feat. joy) oh this music video is hilarious, i love the low budget feel. the lyrics are so relatable lmao. joy looks like a goddess

woo!ah! - woo!ah! the music video is really nice and they're so pretty but i'm not into the chorus much. the post-chorus is slightly better. the styling is gorgeous and the sets are really well designed. "badda badda bing" and "everybody say to us woo!ah!" are my favourite parts!! it's better on the second listen, though, call that the itzy effect.

lay - jade okay there's no mv for this but i really like the song, the incorporation of the traditional instrument with the trap(?) beat is really catchy. i just love lay's solo music tbh, and this totally fits his sound.

nu'est - i'm in trouble i'm ashamed of myself for not listening to this on release because i really loved it from the teasers and this totally lives up to that expectation, sultry and smooth but still catchy

bvndit - jungle not my first listen of this song but ive only heard it once and it was like 7am so I wasn't even awake enough to pay attention. it's definitely really good and totally in line with their previous releases but it's almost... too line. still a solid 8 though and i love the breakdown/dance break, it's the best part imo.

bol4 - hug it's colourful and sweet and super bol4 but it doesn't feel as catchy as her/their older songs

busters - paeonia it's way better than pinky promise. aesthetically it's everything kpop has been lacking this year. kinda sad chaeyeon isn't here though
