Midweek New Music Roundup :: May 7-14

[hitokage]

Look, Thursday still counts as mid-week and it's still Thursday until I go to sleep, regardless of what the clock says, okay? Okay! 😆

This week the listing was a tiny bit more manageable and still covering a whole range of genres. We got two debuts this week - virtual group Priz and new girl group ablume - plus more comebacks than you can shake a stick at. In the mood to dance? Try the latest comebacks from E'LAST or MEOVV. Looking for more trot? Jeong Dongwon dropped another video, plus we got performances from two Handsome Trot artists. In the mood for something rock? There's dance rock from KARDI and CHUU, folk rock from Big Baby Driver and SoonSoonHee, soft rock from MRCH and Seoul Dabansa, or whatever Sons of Madam are doing this week. Seeking the freshest hiphop beats? Check out the latest from Loco, MOST, and JA!L. Need some R&B? Woody dropped a bunch of performances. Wanting a theraputic cry? Search out the hanky warnings. Not sure where to start? Browse the listing however you like or drop me a comment and I can try to steer you in a good direction.

Banner slots this week went to KARDI and P1Harmony, with my additional picks going to LUCY, SAAY, and Kwon Soonkwan with Bang Yedam, because I can be both surprising and predictable some weeks. 😉

Abuela's Song of the Day (May 16)

[hitokage]

Watch on YouTube

NCT DREAM - BOOM
cw: lens flares, supernatural elements (powers)

Flashback Friday to this song that always starts playing on the psychic radio in this household when it starts thundering outside. Which is not the most random association, but still kinda random. 🤣 Old enough to be part of when SM was still building NCT lore, but also NCT lore is maybe no longer relevant to anything? And also I'm still having FEELINGS that this is old enough to qualify for Flashback Friday oh lort cheesus.
