Paperback Writer posted:as someone kind of on the outside and learns a lot from this thread my favorite releases this year have been Not sure if you're just after recent stuff or not, but you might like - Keembo (duo made of 2 members of spica, an older group) - they did an album and releases for most of the songs on it, a mix of styles and stuff. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-OwfwHwcmUE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aoIuQtoqaig https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ll8akHNe4NY If you want a song that I think is really great, and are willing to be disappointed that the company immediately pivoted off of the concept and is also a miserable dumpster fire listen to Sonamoo's debut Deja Vu: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRY0Dk9avck Brown eyed girls is another group thats been around a while with a lot of stuff you might like. They got together again the other year and did: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5q3RoDYObOA, but some of their older stuff was pretty incredibly impactful - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofwFr8o8p0Y. For something a bit slower I like the later stuff from ladies code. Their earlier stuff was good too but we never got to see how that would have progressed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hcgT1eq3CLM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wsx9f8tdifw Their last song was more upbeat but still solid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gif0f4_1z2w

ZypherIM posted:The MV... personally didn't like it that much. It feels like they sort of wanted to go with some of the 'stylized+wacky/silly' vibes that you see in a lot of EXID's videos, but like not everyone was on board or understood how to make that work. I didn't really get an EXID vibe, other than the colour scheme. The MV otherwise fit in with the other TRI.BE MVs, imo, if a bit more dance heavy. ZypherIM posted:I was sort of surprised that the did a whole thing at their show case for the sub-units, but I enjoyed it. '-18' let their dancers do some sharper stuff than the whole group goes for, and 'got your back' did some more live vocal work than usually goes on (because of the whole, singing+dancing thing being super hard). I think they should have just gone ahead and given them mic stands though. Yeah, this rocks. EXID was always great about having different solo or unit tracks on each album, and I'm glad Shinsadong Tiger and LE are following that same formula for TRI.BE. When writing the song, LE asked the -18 girls what they wanted to do when they were adults (since as someone who is +++++18 she has no fuckin clue) and Soeun said she wanted to get into Bitcoin. So LE thought next time she'll just write without asking lmfao. I want Soeun's bitcoin jam now. agreed re: mic stands Also everyone should dive into BEG's discography, if they haven't already. Their debut album as a pure vocal/ballad group is so good, and then of course their evolution over the years. Basic is a REBOOT-tier album. Seriously this is imho still the best debut song ever done by any kpop group, even if it isn't as iconic as something like ITNW or Fire. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0CZyRWtozJ8 e: oh, also all of their solo work, especially Gain and Narsha. But Gain should already be a given for everyone who listens to Korean music, by default. esperterra fucked around with this message at 22:37 on Oct 12, 2021 |

Songs not amazing but it's a well done video with the dance crews getting their own parts to showcase their own choreo.

Lightsum comeback: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5WZ2htfiZU I like it better than their debut, but I sort of feel like they don't have a solid identity. Maybe they'll hit into one of those soft-ish girl group concepts a lot of the general korean audience likes and do well, but it is cube so I also expect them to gently caress it up somehow.

Big Iz*one vibes from that track which is fitting/hosed for Chowon. Even the choreo and videography are reminiscent of Iz*one. It's a good track though, I'd like them to keep this style. Bottom Liner fucked around with this message at 21:11 on Oct 13, 2021 |

Speaking of IZ*one I knew they did extremely well sales wise but I would not have predicted Jo Yuri doing so well in 1st week sales, especially with only 1 version. I think I've decided it's one of my favourite tracks this year. Makes me think the Hybe Sakura/Chaewon group will be pushing 3-400k on debut. https://twitter.com/IZONE_stats/status/1448299314522902528?s=20 Centusin fucked around with this message at 14:19 on Oct 14, 2021 |

Schpyder posted:Kinda, yeah. The 1st half of the chorus also sounds a lot like the 2nd half of the Wannabe chorus too. I think its less it sounds like those songs, and more than its got some sounds that are similar to how like early 2ne1 was, and Teddy was the composer back then too for YG, so a lot of BP stuff has similar influences in the sound.

I think I've decided it's one of my favourite tracks this year. Makes me think the Hybe Sakura/Chaewon group will be pushing 3-400k on debut. The thing with izone (along with the other competition groups) is that a decent chunk of their sales base came from "people who watched the show" and not "people who are normally into kpop stuff", so it looks like the marketing team did a good job of letting that segment of the fan base know that she was having a song come out. edit: content https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvEwaBiyL0I e2: whee in on the begin again open mic thing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFIsNdodBHA&t=163s ZypherIM fucked around with this message at 06:12 on Oct 15, 2021 |

Chuu from Loona was on Wild Idol which was nice because she's on the panel with all her very famous seniors but in a serious not joking bit she said when they were on a diet they would eat half an apple a day, dance with sandbags on and wear a winter jacket with the heater on for 8 hours and jesus christ what is wrong with kpop agencies.
