I think that I'm gonna do monthly/weekly (if there is) music reviews from now on. It isn't really music actually, just KPOP HAHAHA unless there are really nice english or chinese songs that I like.

I've lost track of music releases and ain't crazy about kpop anymore, but there's still something that makes me go back to my fave music hehe
Although kpop is saturated with endless new boy/girlgroups now (mehhhhhh), I'm glad that there are so many good songs being released this month, lots from my fav singers too :) !!
I shall list them by rankings for this post, but I may do it by chronological order next time, who knows!! LET'S START.
1. Everytime | Chen ft. Punch | Descendants of the Sun OST Part 2
This song is LOVE. Yup I had to bold that haha I don't think its my bias towards EXO (not a crazy fan anymore, seeing how they are falling apart now in my eyes) but everytime (pun unintended LOL) CHEN releases an OST, it seems like it will cfm plus chop be a hit. His vocals are dreamy, not the usual manly vocals but his emotions are on point. I just feel this song shouldn't be Chen ft. Punch, but rather sung by Chen AND Punch, since her parts were really important and suits the song (maybe better than chen) well but oh well it's not up to me to decide that right haha
(Just saying, this song sounds creepily similar to his It's Okay, It's Love OST (Best Luck) :/)
2. Always | Yoon Mi Rae | Descendants of the Sun OST Part 1
I'm always looking out for Yoon Mi Rae's songs. It's hard to find someone who can rap and sing and pull both off so well nowadays. She definitely deserves all the respect she is getting.
3. Say It! What are you doing? | K.Will | Descendants of the Sun OST Part 6
Say what? Another DOTS OST?? HAHA yes. Maybe that's why this drama is receiving so much love. The actors and OST are top-notch. The official MV states the title as Talk Love but I don't understand what they are trying to mean by that, it's not even a (meaningful) literal translation LOL. It's another K.Will song, but not just another song. It's K,Will, do I need to say more? Hehe :)
4. Spring Love | Eric Nam & Wendy
Ahh the spring songs have arrived. They are SO CUTE they can't stop smiling and laughing and having fun in the MV hehe *squeals* !! I did not expect this collab at all, but I'm glad they did it. The song is quite mellow and only abit catchy, but their vocals make up for everything lacking. Maybe I'm just biased towards them haha but I really hope that Eric Nam finds happiness hahahha he is one of those singers whom I really like them for who they are, and not just their vocals or looks. He took International Studies in university too, maybe this is a sign for me to take Global Studies? HAHAHA ok moving on.
5. One of these Nights | Red Velvet
These girls can sing. And they have the looks and personality. This is probably one of the few groups that I feel that SM has managed properly lol but really, it was a weird choice to give them a ballad, after dance songs like Happiness and Ice Cream Cake. Maybe it was time to do something different, but these girls are best at upbeat and happy songs. And the distribution of lines is still ridiculous as usual (what can I say? it's SM)
6. Letting Go | DAY6
This group deserves so much more attention and recognition. This is their comeback after Junhyeok left the group following the dating scandal...lol idek what era is this anymore and knetizens are still making a big hoohaaaaaa over an idol dating? This group isn't even considered idols, they are more like musicians. But all that being said, he is gone from the group, so let's just let go and enjoy the music.
7. Remember That | BTOB
YAY they are back. As a full group this time. With SUNGJAEEEEE. Did I make it obvious enough who my bias is? HAHAHA I liked him since they debuted (i even bought his merchandise......foolish fangirl days) not after his popularity skyrocketed from the dramas he did and WGM. OKAY THAT'S NOT THE MAIN POINT HERE sorry haha they are another group that has failed to get the recognition they truly deserve. But this is a group that is like a treasure to me, I love every single song of theirs and am so thankful for their songs for getting me through the days. Quick question. Anyone knows when is CUBE gonna step up their game and give them a song that will bring them the fame, since they already have so much potential to do so???? I hope the answer to that is not never. These boys have waited long enough for their breakthrough yet sadly this song is still not good enough for the ticket to stardom. Better luck with the next song :(
8. Liar Liar | Oh My Girl
Another one of the few girl groups I enjoy listening to, and also very underrated (compared to overrated groups like GFRIEND imo la). This song is refreshing and cute, but the high pitched parts kinda annoy me while listening, but overall the song is catchy and nice enough to make me listen through the whole thing on replay. This may sound like something Red Velvet will promote, but I think it will be too cute for their style. Hyojung's parts in this song were the best and was the song's SAVING GRACE, but Closer is still a better song IMO. Definitely looking forward to their next comeback ^^ !!
