"Wifey material, I can make you my bride" is exactly the horrible lyricism I would expect of Bella Thorne.

The new Pretty Reckless album is great. The second half is a little more appealing than the first, but the first has some great riffs. Taylor has a good voice, although sometimes it sounds like an affectation.

i love lava la rue!!! i loved hitman by kelly i'll have to listen to the whole ep, also love the serpentwithfeet song a lotttttttt

it was last week but i finally listened to Chung Ha's album and i actually thought it was really good haha, even though i hated bicycle. i thought it was well produced and a super solid pop album and she's improved her range a lot. her voice used to grate but she's moved more into like red velvet style range.... also she's sooooo cute and very hardworking!

I.M.'s is good too.... i have to admit he's not one of the members i'm familiar with so i didn't know what to expect from the vibe but i like it, lots of it is going on my kpop stoner playlist

also, OP, i've been busy and lazy at commenting but i love these posts! i always listen to the songs you embed and usually save a few new ones <3

I didn't like the version of Charger with Charlie, which was disappointing bc I just discovered the original and have been looping it all fucking week. I LEFT MY LEFT MAH LEFT MAH CHARGAH!!!! ugh so fucking catchy.

I liked I.M's album enough to buy it.

Did you have issues finding it? A lot of people were and couldn’t figure out why it wasn’t charting in kpop only to find out he was in rap/hip hop. I had to hunt for it to find it this morning.

[mnemo_syne]

No, I didn't, but I was only looking for digital, not hard copy. I just googled and it came up on Amazon Music and iTunes.

[slaygalthessily]

I need to start working smarter not harder. I enemy through 900 searches before going through Apple Music to find the download link. Usually I find stuff on charting, but it wasn’t in the kpop charts. I didn’t expect it in rap/hip hop. For some reason.

Kingdom was one of the debuts I was looking forward to this year (along with Mirae, who is KARD’s lil bro group) and I think it was really powerful. They have an interesting concept and apparently a 12 year 30 something album plan?

But I think, as expected, Changkyun has been the star of my week. I love Duality so much.

i really ate my words when i listened to duality, because i wasn't feeling the sampler at all. thank god it's digital only because i really can't afford any more albums rn.

[slaygalthessily]

It’s not really in my habit to listen to previews or samplers for that reason. I listened to this one because I was excited and in general I like his vibe and the older stuff from him (I love horizon). But I’m on the same page. I lost my job in January and can’t afford any more albums. The ones I ordered recently were for my birthday and mom is paying me back for the Wonho albums I pre-ordered because of that. It’s my last order until I get employed.

[mayjailer]

i'm sorry to hear that! i got laid off in november, so i definitely can relate there. i ordered wonho's, and i ended up really liking cherry bullet's mini so i bought a copy of that, but that's all for a bit.
