Ley´s Release Corner Jun´22 - Boys Edition (1/2)
DISCLAIMER: This is all my personal opinion and most of the impressions are after first listening. So please keep in mind that my opinion can change and that I respect other opinions too. My rating is just based on how I like the song and has nothing to do with hate or anything else against an Artist. When I don't like a song it doesn't mean I don't appreciate the work and effort that are put into it.
Masterlist
Feel free to let me know what you think of the releases and now let's dive into Kpop:
Title: lost
Album: lost (Single)
Artist: Dvwn
Release: 2022.06.02
Okay I mean the lyrics are very very sad and I can kinda relate but that´s all I like about this song. I don´t know how to describe it but it´s really slow and long and the MV is really something else. It all feels very Indie or Alternative I have no clue what´s really going on.
"true colors" is also a slow song but I liked it a little bit more. "empty" feels kinda like a lullaby and overall the whole single could be an OST to a sad short indie movie.
Rating: 4,5/10 for lost (Instrumental: 4,5/10; Vocals: 7/10; Lyrics: 7/10; MV: 4/10; Overall Vibes: 4,5/10)
Rating: 4,5/10 for the Single because this is not really my kind of music but I appreciate his voice
Title: Snail
Album: Snail (Single)
Artist: Kim Jaehwan (Wanna One)
Release: 2022.06.05
Based on the MV this is probably a love ballade. I like his voice and this is not way too slow but it barely misses my playlist. The MV itself is very cute.
Rating: 6,5/10 for Snail (Instrumental: 6,5/10; Vocals: 7,5/10; MV: 6/10; Overall Vibes: 6,5/10)
Title: Today´s Weather
Album: Happy Birthday (EP)
Artist: SON DONG WOON (HIGHLIGHT)
Release: 2022.06.06
This Song is kinda a vibe. The MV is very sunny and makes a good mood. I´m not hundred percent sure if this could make it into my playlist because I got greedy after these 6 months because the playlist gets way too long.
"Rainy Season" is very vibey and I think it would be perfect for reading or something like that while "Letter" feels kinda sad and nostalgic. "Moderato" is my favorite on this EP with its vocals and its bright vibe. Lastly "Happy Birthday to Me" is a solid song with nostalgic vibes as well.
Rating: 7/10 for Today´s Weather (Instrumental: 7/10; Vocals: 7/10; MV: 7/10; Overall Vibes: 7/10)
Rating: 6,5/10 for Happy Birthday because I like his vocals but the songs don´t flash me
Title: WHO [吼]
Album: BLUE SET Chapter 2. CHOICE (EP)
Artist: TRENDZ
Release: 2022.06.08
Mhhhm I know I said I have to keep an eye on them back in January and I still think that but they kinda lost me over time and I got lowkey annoyed by their songs because I listened to them way too much and I´m not sure this song can deal with that as well. It´s very 4th gen like and the song is a little bit too overload for me. Like it´s like they switching between 2-3 songs and mixing them into one. Maybe it will grow on me like "O.O" by NMIXX did over time or maybe I will hate it even more, we will see. Anyways the song is very powerful and noisy. The MV is also way better than the first one.
"AWAKE" is a nice intro I really like while "CLIQUE" also follows the title track but just not that extreme and I liked the rap very much. "re : daybreak" is really nice because it´s a little bit more chill and surprisingly I enjoyed that a lot. Lastly "FOREVER MORE" is a pretty solid song I also liked a lot.
Rating: 7/10 for WHO [吼] (Instrumental: 7,5/10; Vocals: 7,5/10; Rap: 7,5/10; Lyrics: 7/10; Choreography: 7/10; MV: 7,5/10; Overall Vibes: 7/10)
Rating: 7,5/10 for BLUE SET Chapter 2. CHOICE because I actually liked the songs more than the one from Chapter 1
Title: Yet To Come (The Most Beautiful Moment)
Album: Proof (Album)
Artist: BTS
Release: 2022.06.10
This song is pretty solid and has a very beautiful message and everything but it´s not very special if you know what I mean and since I´m personally not attached to them I can´t find myself hype myself up for it either but may it will grow on me soon. And am I the only one who got a little bit of farewell vibes?
Okay first of all as not an army 35 album compilation it´s hard to find out what´s new since I only know 15 songs. Overall I see a good choice of songs I actually like but as always I only rate songs released this year. So “Run BTS” is actually fun and it´s the kind of song I like from BTS so if this would have been the title they would have been raked very high. “For Youth” feels very nostalgic and comforting at the same time.
Rating: 7,5/10 for Yet To Come (Instrumental: 7/10; Vocals: 7,5/10; Rap: 7,5/10; Lyrics: 7,5/10; MV: 6/10; Overall Vibes: 7,5/10)
Rating: 8/10 for Proof because I kinda liked the new tracks
Title: CRAZY
Album: Facade (EP)
Artist: WONHO
Release: 2022.06.13
Yeah... I want to say I like this so badly because I normally love this rocking sound but I´m very afraid that this will become a downer like "Eye On You" was for me. And to be honest this gets boring over time I don´t know like it´s missing something. But I still love him and it breaks my heart to rate him this low but yeah can´t do much about it.
"INTRO: 9AM" and "OUTRO: 9PM" are just instrumental intro/outros so not much to say about these. "Close" is full in english and I really appreciate it because it´s very beautiful. "White Miracle (Korean Ver.) is nice to have but nothing I really needed.
Rating: 7/10 for CRAZY (Instrumental: 7/10; Vocals: 7/10; Lyrics: 6/10; Choreography: 6,5/10; MV: 7/10; Overall Vibes: 7/10)
Rating: 7/10 for FACADE because the bsides are pretty solid
Title: ZERO
Album: Villain : ZERO (Single)
Artist: DRIPPIN
Release: 2022.06.15
Okay this is what I meant when I said "Villian" could be a little bit more powerful. I think this song will be a grower. And again I really liked the MV and everything but actually, it felt like "Villian" wasn´t out for long but it´s already 5 months ago that they released it.
"GAME" is a very nice song I kinda like and "Trick and Treat" is a typical hype song and I also like this one very much.
Rating: 7,5/10 for ZERO (Instrumental: 7,5/10; Vocals: 7/10; Rap: 6,5/10; Lyrics: 7/10; Choreography: 7/10; MV: 8/10; Overall Vibes: 7,5/10)
Rating 7,5/10 for Villian : ZERO because I kinda dig the songs
Title: PLAY DUMB
Album: Story Written in Music (Album)
Artist: OMEGA X
Release: 2022.06.15
I love this. It´s such a nice summer track I´m really in love with it. The MV makes also very much fun to watch and I fall in love with them with every comeback a little bit more.
"VENUS" reminds me of something that could be a weird Monsta X and NCT crossover. "BINARY STAR" is a pretty solid song and "ALL ABOUT U" is as well. I really like "DON´T" which is surprisingly a slower song but I could vibe with it very well. "TAKE´EM ALL" is a hype EDM song I also enjoyed. "BOUNCE WITH ME" is also very powerful and I like it a lot while "DANCE WITH U" is slower again and I kinda vibe with it. "AIRPLANE" is a solid song I don´t really mind and "DRY FLOWER" is also kinda nice to listen to while "CONTROL" is again a solid song I don´t really mind. Lastly "LOVE" is a very nice love song I like a lot.
Rating:7,5 /10 for (Instrumental: 7,5/10; Vocals: 7,5/10; Rap: 7/10; Choreography: 7/10; MV: 7,5/10; Overall Vibes: 7,5/10)
Rating: 7,5/10 for Story Written in Music because no song was a miss but not an extraodinary hit as well for me
Title: Stupid Cool
Album:Stupid Cool (Single)
Artist: DAWN
Release: 2022.06.16
I´m not sure about this. It´s a nice love song and the MV and performance are kinda fun but I think I don´t like the chorus with its saxophone (?) and it destroys the whole song for me. Maybe it will grow on me I´m not sure.
Rating: 7/10 for Stupid Cool (Instrumental: 6,5/10; Vocals: 7/10; Rap: 7/10; Lyrics: 6,5/10; Choreography: 8/10; MV: 7,5/10; Overall Vibes: 7/10)
Title: Sweet
Album: Sweet (Single)
Artist: THE BOYZ
Release: 2022.06.17
Another Universe Release and I kinda love it. I´m still annoyed that the MV is always released so much later but yeah that´s probably the intention. Anyways the song is kinda fun and uplifting. I really like their latest releases. The MV is also very colorful and I like the theme of them shooting a campaign video for a friendly vampire village. I love it.
Rating: 7,5/10 for Sweet (Instrumental: 7,5/10; Vocals: 7,5/10; Rap: 7,5/10; Choreography: /10; MV: 8/10; Overall Vibes: 7,5/10)
