#NowPlaying: DAY6

So about halfway past 2015 last year, I sort of fell out of the K-Pop scene, simply because there wasn't any new releases that really caught my attention (My favourite track from last year was Legend's Trace!). So only now that I started to try to crawl back to re-discover what I missed. Lo and behold, I found one I really enjoyed, and it was from a new band called DAY6. Are you guys a fan?


I first stumbled across this band when YouTube auto played their debut single "Congratulations" after I watched Roh Ji Hoon's If You Were Me (Which is an awesome track as well). Since they were from JYP, this is like my replacement for the absense of 2AM. Their singles are actually ballads but with a rock twist to it. I'm even into their new song "Letting Go" right now. Go check them out and buy their EPs!

My jam right now...

I just discovered 2 K-Pop songs which I'm loving right now... 

The first is a 2013 song by MYNAME called Day by Day. I can't believe I did not know about it during its release. This would've been my top songs of 2013. It's a mid-tempo pop/r&b ballad I would say. The kind of track I'd love to have if ever I was singer :p 



Next is a song by SouLime SounD called Ride Something. It's in the same vine as Day by Day. A mid-tempo track but with a more uplifting beat. I can imagine this a great song when you're by yourself just enjoying the view of solidarity. I'm yapping. Anyway, I want you all to listen to these too so go ahead! Support these artistes by buying their music on iTunes.

New K-Pop: Go Crazy! by 2PM

It's out! The MV for Go Crazy is now out for everyone's viewing pleasure. Hmm...I don't really know what to say about the song so far. Maybe I need to listen to it more often to get hooked. The MV looks cool but the effects seems a bit cheesy. Anyway, enjoy!


2 Comebacks I'm Excited About...

So yeah. I'm back from Korea. Sorry I didn't really do much blogging. Our itinerary was so exhaustive that we came back every day after 12am and by the time I reached for my PC, I dozed off. Anyway, today's post is about 2 comebacks I'm most excited about that's happening soon. They are from 2PM with their track 'Go Crazy!' from their new album of the same name and Teen Top with Missing from their new mini album EXITO. Hopefully their tracks are exciting and interesting as their teasers. More after the break.


New K-Pop: Mamma Mia by Kara

OK. When I initially heard this song, I didn't like it at all. I just thought it was typical girl group song that just didn't have what it takes. However, as I spent my days here in Korea, I keep hearing the song being played and it's kind of catchy to me now. Maybe I should've given it a few listens before judging. I even picked up their album here...and got to see them perform on Show Champion! I love you Seungyeon! Enjoy the song. Will try to post my review on the album.



Listen to Fever by HALO

There's still lack of great music coming out this month. Hopefully next month's Super Junior, Taetiseo and 2PM comeback brings awesome music back. HALO is another rookie group I found out by looking at the M Countdown. This track reminds you of the late 90's and early 00's pop. Kind of have that summer feeling going on. Also check out their other track Can You Hear Me?



New K-Pop: Left Out by Legend

This might've been out for a while. It's the debut song from rookie group Legend. It might not be on most listener's playlist but it's definitely going into mine. I love the catchy chorus. I was bored of the lack of new music so I scoured through the M Countdown ranking and found this gem. Enjoy!


MBLAQ at K-Festival Malaysia 2014

Just this weekend we had the K-Festival happening at Pavilion KL with booths promoting Korea services as well as performances from Korea that includes traditional dances, fashion show and even artist appearance. Of course the highlight was the appearance of MBLAQ.

New K-Pop: Back Seat by JYJ

Honestly, I've heard of JYJ's previous works but was never a fan. Their new track, Back Seat, on the other hand is not that bad. It's taken from their long awaited comeback EP 'Just Us'





Katy Perry's new video "This is How We Do" is out!

One of the stand out tracks off of Prism I would say is "This is How We Do". It's like a more urban "Last Friday Night". And now the official video for the song is out!



New K-Pop: Let's Love by C-Clown

Here's a new one from C-Clown. I wasn't a fan of Justice, their previous release. It was too full on rap and rock for me. This one is a little different. I love the opening beat and the overlapping chorus lines. That was the hook for me. Lyrics and links to purchase in this post.



Listen to Stay With Me by Taeyang Featuring G-Dragon

Everyone's been talking about Taeyang's new album. I haven't been riding on the bandwagon though. Last week, I was watching Inkigayo and he started off his comeback with this song Stay With Me and it has now been at the top of my playlist. Eyes, Nose, Lips might be an OK song for me but this song is my jam right now!


New K-Pop: Good Luck by BEAST

BEAST is back with a new song titled Good Luck. The last song from them that I liked was How To Love from their Hard to Love, How to Love album. The title track for that one didn't really caught my attention. This time around, I got hooked as soon as I listened to the bridge part. That did it for me. Straight away into my iPod playlist. Enjoy and buy the music legally!



Listen to This! Problem by Ariana Grande featuring Iggy Azalea

I'm in love with Ariana Grande. It started out with Victoria Justice. Tried to watch Victorious because of her, but then fell in love with the red/pink haired Ariana. This is so wrong. She also happens to be a very good singer. The new Mariah! Her songs are reminiscent of songs from the 90s including this. It's not your typical pop song but you just can't not get hooked after spinning this a few times.


New Music: Quit Playing by U-KISS

I knew about this song a while ago. Anticipated it but I took a bit of time to cozy up to it. The teaser really piqued my interest with the guitar beats but I was a bit dissappointed with the song as a whole when it first came out. It wasn't an instant hit for me and needed a few listen until I put it in my playlist. Enjoy!



Best of Korea: 2AM Concert Experience

It so happens that when I planned my 2nd trip to Korea, 2AM was to perform on the weekend. So I told myself that this would be the perfect K-Pop related activity to do in Korea. It was even the last thing we did on the trip so it's like a "Save the best for last" moment. Eventhough the concert had been announced for a while, I did manage to snatch seats. Excited!

New K-Pop: Obsession by Boyfriend

Boyfriend had this too cute persona when they first started out. The earlier songs weren't my cup of tea until Janus. Janus was surprisingly good and a proper growth for the group. The album was good as well. My favourite was Good Night. Now they are back with another EP with this upbeat track, Obsession as the title track. This has more of a hip hop pop beat to it in the lines of BTOB's Beep Beep. It's starting to grow on me. Enjoy!

New Music - XO by John Mayer

I absolutely loved XO by Beyonce. It's such a sweet midtempo heartfelt song. A tribute to the love of your lives. Now, John Mayer has went on and done an acoustic cover of the song that I think is as good as the original. I just love the melody of this song.


New Music - Love Never Felt So Good by Michael Jackson and Justin Timberlake

Michael Jackson is back with his 2nd posthumous album and the lead single out of it is Love Never Felt So Good. The single version features a duet with Justin Timberlake. I personally love this song as it definitely has that Michael Jackson goodness circa Thriller era. It is in fact recorded in the 1980s but with this released version, it sounds so current. Enjoy!
