K-POP ONE-STOP: November 5 – 11, 2016

I can’t even begin to tell you how happy I am that it’s Friday. This week has been freakishly long and I’m so very, very happy that it’s finally coming to an end. Not that it’s been all bad, mind you. I mean I did get to go see CL last night, perform at the Chicago Theater and I get to go see Crush perform tonight at The Vic, but still… This has been one of those weeks where the only reason I’m still functioning is because I do have back-to-back concerts and all I can say is, thank goodness for K-Pop!

Sunshine On A Cloudy Day

As I sit down to write today, I have to admit that my heart is almost too heavy to do so. Having spent the entirety of this week watching people around me display the very worst of themselves. My heart has broken and my stomach has turned so often that I’ve almost given up all hope in humanity as a whole. But even in the midst of all this darkness, I’ve been able to find little rays of sunshine which have served to remind me that even when things are bad, and you feel like giving up, there is still goodness in the world, there are things that can still bring joy and that, in itself, is enough to give me hope.

K-POP ONE-STOP: October 29 – November 4, 2016

This past week brought with it a whole slew of new K-Pop music videos, several of which I’d been looking forward to with anxious anticipation, which is probably why I’m so excited to share this week’s playlist with you! (Seriously, I’m bouncing in my chair as I write this, I’m that giddy!) Continue reading “K-POP ONE-STOP: October 29 – November 4, 2016”

K-POP ONE-STOP: October 22-28, 2016

I think October may be my favorite month. Not only does it bring with it all the wonderful, warm-fuzzy inducing goodness of fall but it also brings an overwhelming number of K-Pop releases. Despite the fact the month is almost over, the music hasn’t slowed down in the least; which means I’ve got another playlist full of goodness just for you!

While I refuse to claim any one track as my favorite, I’m more than ready to squeal over several of them. Lay’s solo track is probably at the top of my list, as I’ve been waiting for this since he teased us with a glimpse of it at the end of his last solo MV, “What U Need.” Right up there with Lay is BASTARZ’s “Selfish & Beautiful Girl.” While the track doesn’t possess the hard-hitting goodness I was originally expecting from Block B’s only sub-unit, it’s still a great song and it really makes me excited for the full album release. Well, that and the teasers for the trio’s “Make it Rain” MV… I have a feeling that’s going to be the MV that brings us all the original BASTARZ elements we love. Of course I spent a good deal of time this week being mesmerized by the beauty of INFINITE’s newest “The Eye” dance practice video. I swear, these boys produce the most beautiful dance videos I’ve ever seen. Also on my list of music  I’m enjoying this week are the OST releases. I’m beyond happy that Monsta X’s track for Shopping King Louis is finally out in both the original and acoustic version. Jay Park, Hyolyn, TWICE… There’s list of great new music out this week goes on and on. I really could keep talking about them all for a very, very long time but I won’t. Instead I’ll ask you which tracks are your favorite. Are there any you’ll be adding to your own K-Pop playlist this week? Let me know in the comments below!

I love Fridays! Have I ever mentioned that? I think I have… Somewhere… Maybe… Whether I have or haven’t doesn’t really matter. What does matter is the fact that I’ve got another playlist full of brand new music. Woohoo! (Hey, if that isn’t reason to celebrate, I don’t know what is!)
