This is quality female soloist material. Her best song yet! It reminds me of Chung Ha and Sunmi back in 2018 and 2019.
"LIGHTS ON" - Weeekly
This sounds very much like an elevated version of the "high teen" sound that they started out with. I love it.
"Let It Burn" - H1-KEY
I love the rock sound with a unique melody. It's reminiscent "Shoot Me" by DAY6, another song I enjoyed years back.
"Like That" - BABYMONSTER
I admit I haven't followed their releases so attentively, but so far, I appreciate how they're bringing back the old-school YGE sound (or Y2K sound in general).
"FOREVER" - BABYMONSTER
Again, not to sound redundant, but this is another song that makes me nostalgic for that old-school YGE musicality. BABYMONSTER doesn't miss with the rap verses. That's for sure.
"Stay WITH me" - STAYC
This is my favorite song on STAYC's recent album. It's a song dedicated to the fans, but instead of being another fan-dedicated ballad, it incorporates a rock-inspired guitar riff. There's something uniquely satisfying about all of it. It just works.
"Bubble Gum" - NewJeans
When I heard this and saw the MV, I instantly thought of "chill summertime in Japan" vibes. Very "slice of life anime." Love that they went in a city pop direction this time.
"How Sweet" - NewJeans
The "toxic lover, you're no better" parts are oddly addicting. "How Sweet" took a bit of time to grow on me, but I really appreciate it now.
"Supernatural" - NewJeans
An excellent throwback to the '80s and '90s. You can see it in the choreo and styling, too. I also like the use of Korean, Japanese, and English in the lyrics.
ROMANCE : UNTOLD - ENHYPHEN
I'm including this whole album by ENHYPHEN because I can't pinpoint my favorite song just yet, but from my listening experience, I enjoy it quite a bit.
