hitokage: Suran in a white frame with rainbow hearts on the right side under plain text Abuela's Kpop (abuela's kpop)
[personal profile] hitokage
In a slightly grunge/distressed frame (top and bottom bars only) in the hues of a diagonal (upper left to lower right tilt) rainbowgradiant with a black slash diagonally (bottom left to upper right tilt) across the middle with the text of Midweek New Music Roundup running up the divider. To the left of the slash, a shot in red lighting of a Korean man (Mingi of ATEEZ) in profile and dressed in all black, arms spread wide. To the right/below the slash, Korean girl group NMIXX, in which the six girls are each posing with arms raised and hands together like a lotus petal, but lined up and then each slightly tilted at a different angle to simulate a lotus blossom all together. Behind them is a generated blue-white environment of waveforms of light shaped not unlike mountains and a beach and a stormy sky. Bottom text reads March 12th - 19th.


Bringing the queer love early this year because I said so. Plus some other tweaks as I continue to feature multiple artists each week - just seems the most fair, considering I'm regularly rounding up 45-60 tracks a week. And while it's probably already Thursday for you reading this, I'm counting this as On Time anyway because I need the win, okay? Okay then...

So yes, we've got another full week of releases for your browsing pleasure! Want to dance? We've got poppy comebacks from such groups as STAYC and The Wind, plus EDM from Ten (NCT) and Bibiana Kim. Looking for something more relaxing? There's soft rock from donburi, folk rock from ULUV, R&B from Min Jiwoon and OVAN, or even neoclassical from LIZIN. Looking for something more in your face? There's new self-composed rock/hiphop from ATEEZ's Mingi, NEWBEAT are on the hiphop side this week, and ASH ISLAND has a new rock track collab with ZICO. Not sure what you want? Grab a treat and take your time making your way through the list in whichever order feels right to you!

Banner slots this week went to Mingi of ATEEZ (left) and NMIXX (right), with additional picks going to Min Jiwoon, OVAN, LE SSERAFIM, Ten (NCT), and The Boyz. Is that too many featured picks? Probably. Do I care? Not at all. 😆😉

Releases for the week of March 12th - 19th )

The Mea Culpa section continues to be empty this week.

note: Despite appearing separate in the list above, releases by a single artist have been pulled back together in the links below to make them easier to find.
note 2: I'm still experimenting with how to handle surrealism, but it did seem less frequent this week, so...
