Midweek New Music Roundup :: July 31st - August 7th

[hitokage]

Aiyah, I know, I'm super late again this week. It's still Wednesday where I am ... but probably not where you are by the time you read this. Sorry about that - the cats put me severely off schedule today. Kitty Nurses Cirrus and Nimbus were determined to keep me in bed for as long a nap as possible ... which is better than yesterday, but that's a whole other tangent. XD

SO YES! Welcome to another installment of the Midweek New Music Roundup! Whatever your preferred type of Kpop, from hip hop to pop-rock, EDM to jazz, there's a little bit of everything again this week. Debuts this week include ex-Pixy U-Chae, ASTRO's Sanha, and new boy group CELEST1A, while comebacks range from trot singer Kim Churi to rock bands Xdinary Heroes and Eddie and the Bricks. Want to get your dance on? We've got a lot of options, from Blackswan to UNIS. Looking for OSTs? We've got two from Your Honor this week, plus a bunch more R&B releases from such as Colde, COOING, and NIve.

Banner artist slot this week goes to ASTRO's Sanha. Additional picks are Seo EVE, NMIXX, and Eddie and the Bricks. What are your favorites this week? Anyone surprise you? Let's chat about it!

( Releases for the week of July 31st - August 7th )

* content warning - see specific entry in the listing below for details.

🎋 this list compiles nightly with a cut-off at (roughly) 1am ET, meaning some Wednesday releases are on this list and some are being held over to next week. I tend to avoid audio-only releases for established artists and those on major labels because music videos are so common, but for some more niche subgenres and indies artists, the audio-only upload may be the only option. But this means I sometimes make a willful choice to hold off on linking an upload when I know an MV is going to be along eventually (ie. xiker's Tsuki, which first posted as audio on Tuesday, with the MV/PV coming out too late to make the cut for this week)
