[delayed post] Midweek New Music Roundup :: March 19-26

[hitokage]

I know, I know ... and since even I'm tired of it, I will stop apologizing. Maybe. For a week or two. Or who knows, I might even get back on schedule and stay there for a couple weeks! They say anything is possible, right?

ANYway, I know it's the weekend now, but this is your midweek roundup for the week of March 19th to the 26th ... which does mean we got a cut in Stray Kids' serial subunit releases, but on the other hand, there's a whole lot of other releases from the week as well. From the actual official debut (finally) of two new idol groups, NEWBEAT and KiiiKiii, to fresh hiphop, from most OSTs than you can shake a stick at to original jazz from the SM Jazz Trio, plus an array of rock styles and even some new trot. Whatever your musical taste, there's bound to be something new to try.

Banner artist slots this week go to SM Jazz Trio and AILEE, with additional picks from me going to REDDY, Stray Kids, MARK (NCT), Mashiho, WOOKI, and TEN (NCT). Yeah, I know, that's a lot of picks, but we have over 80 videos this week, so I'm allowed, dammit.
