[delayed post] Midweek New Music Roundup :: June 11th - 25th

[hitokage]

Yes, yes, two weeks of music AND I'm super late. Things have been ... A Lot lately, between poor health, kitty sickness, landlord shenanigans, and then the heat dome. But I did it! I got through all ... actually, I haven't done the math yet, but I probably started at 200+ to have gotten down to this ridiculous listing of over 160 videos. As such, I strongly recommend fetching a drink and/or snack before even starting. This was an incredibly crowded fortnight even before the indies got folded in, so yeah, whatever your subgenre of preference, there's new music here for you. Hiphop? J-Hope is killin it. Dance pop? ATEEZ lets the lemon beat drop. R&B? Too many to even start. Rock? From folk to heavy metal. Trot? Jazz? Neoclassical? KIDS? Yup, all of them, too.

This fortnight's banner slots go to ATEEZ and Hearts2Hearts and I am not sorry about inflicting a soaking wet Yunho on everyone. Especially when it could have been Seonghwa. Or San. That aside, additional picks were a struggle this week, just because there were so many, but in the end I have to give it to my darling babies XLOV, along with Yugyeom (times two), Bangtan Pink (with Baekho), KANGDANIEL, and XXOK.

Small aside, before we get into it: I'm aware a couple of these videos may be dipping into areas some people will disapprove of for this or that reason. If you want to get into it at me about my choice to include those videos on this listing, save us both the effort and don't.
