In a degraded frame (blue-to green top down gradient on top and bottom bars only), a screenshot (with black bars to left and right) from Stray Kids' new video, Chk Chk Boom. All eight members of the Korean group lounge close together on and around a TV news anchor desk while Ryan Reynolds, dressed as Deadpool (sans mask) stands behind the screen-left anchor position. He's turned towards the kids, asking how long they've been there, as if surprised to see them. The set is mostly shades of blue with a city view background, said city sporting several red spotlights aimed up at the sky. Header text reads Midweek New Music Roundup. Bottom text reads July 17th - 24th.


Welcome to another midweek new music roundup! The list of releases this week is quite extensive at almost sixty, plus almost half a dozen previously missed releases, so whatever your vibe, there's almost guaranteed to be something here you'll like. Looking for some good dancing? Mashiho and Jimin are here to start you off right. Girl groups your thing? Dreamcatcher, AleXa, or Gyubin might satisfy that itch. Wanting a trip down memory lane? TRAX have returned (as a duo), as has KARA, and Yoon Jongshin released a series of his older collabs. Looking for rock music? Lee Wonseok, summercomesagain, or LAVEEN may be what you need. Want a more cinematic experience? Stray Kids teamed up with Marvel for their latest, plus there's several OSTs again this week, including tracks from Miss Night and Day and Yumi's Cells. Need some fresh hip-hop, GroovyRoom released two new collabs, plus new tracks from PLAK and TOKAI. Still not sure what you want? Plenty of R&B, a couple jazz releases, plus English versions from Lena Park and Gyubin, so feel free to take your time and browse the list with your fav drink or snack.

This week's banner artist goes to Stray Kids with Ryan Reynolds because I have a weakness for both Felix Lee and Deadpool. Additional top picks from me go to KWACA, &TEAM, GroovyRoom, and, to my personal annoyance, Jimin. XD What are your favorites this week? Anyone surprise you? Let's chat about it!
