Stuck in my Head ~ Song of the Day 4

Hello FISHies.

Long time no see.

I hope everyone's summer is going well.

I have been easing into the Korean music scene once again and decided to share with you two of the songs that have been on my playlist for the past few days on repeat.

Forgive me. I could not find a good uploaded version. All of the YouTube ones are chipmunk'd due to copyright rules.

Still a fan of Epik High - YG influenced or not. But damn, Mithra lost a lot of weight.




Always nice to see Verbal Jint. Although, I have no idea why they needed to credit Kahi for the narration. Her lines are literally the bare minimum for a girl's voice in a hip hop song by men. Just seems silly to credit her (as much as I love her). She literally had, like, two lines!

Also, I sing this song out loud pretty often. I did not realize that this was a seduction song. I now have to have an awkward chat with my male Korean friend who said I was sending mixed signals.


Hope you enjoy them even half as much as me.


Premise:
I know that I already have two other (relatively) consistent weekly features (Questions of the Week and Stupid Things Fangirls Utter), but I was thinking of making another one. Just a trial. Let's see how you guys like it. It, of course, is subject to change or disappear. Depending. 

Since Korean music is in general very catchy, I find myself addicted to songs constantly, leaving them on replay for days hours on end. So I thought I would share some of the many songs that I have been addicted to lately. 

The whole point of this article is just to share music with each other. This is in no way one of our funny or trolling articles. I notice often in the chatroom (up top), many of us are telling each other what are good songs and which artists to listen to. So I felt that maybe posting them in the comment section below on an article would make it easier to navigate whose recommendations you trust. They can be old or new songs. Like I really care.

Feel free to post the song stuck in your head at this moment. You don't have to post your entire Top 25 play list right now either. These articles will pop up frequently, so you can share one song at a time.

    Mmm... Two of the many K-Pop songs that's been on repeat for a fair while on my player now are 2PM's "A.D.T.O.Y." and their "Come Back When You Hear This Song" Real catchy music and I like the lyrics, too.

    Gotta thank AKF for introducing me to Baechigi, I checked out some of their past songs and was very impressed. I find myself replaying "Are You Happy" from their Vol 4 Part 2 album a lot. I think it's been posted here before but everyone should check em out.

    Verbal Jint is Good but "비범벅" is one of his most Basic songs I have ever Heard. Takers "너란 독" is Good. So f(x)'s "Beautiful Goodbye". Lastly, I HEAVY FLOW recommend Crucial Star's "생각보다".

    Also, Verbal Jint and Sanchez's You Deserve Better is awesome. Gotta thank you guys for introducing me to Bumkey because I've been replaying Bad Girl for hours now.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2g1x9f7bGM - Sunggyu (Infinite) - Getting Further (original by Nell)
    This song has been stuck in my head for weeks. I love Nell and I loved the original but there's something about Sunggyu's voice that gives a new feeling to the song. Also, call me crazy but I like the little breaths he takes while singing.
    10cm - Give me a hug ( these guys are amazing, definitely worth a listen )
    Infinite - The Chaser
    Nell - Perfect

    I really adore Lim Kim/Kim Yerim right now, a lot of people said Allright was too repetitive for them but I actually adored it and it's repetitiveness(aside from the randomass autotuned guy in it). It kinda reminded me of britpop or Marina and The Diamonds or something and was great. The whole album is great though really. Also since you're Shinbi and will probably dissappear I feel I should take the chance and add that Game Over by 2pm may be literally the only song by them I like which takes a lot of effort for me it sounds like a movie or something awesome in a song

      Yes, I was hoping for someone to mention Kim Yerim here. When I first heard her sing in Shut Up! Flower Boy Band I thought she sounded weird but she does have a very unique voice. Her new album is amazing and she was on Superstar K3 long time ago.

      Well, I don't want to give you spoilers but.. yeah, he dies. Idk about this drama, it might leave you "feeling empty" but I think it's worth the watch. Imho it goes straight to the top, next to Reply 1997. Plus, there aren't many stoned Kim-Hyun-Joong-like actors in this, except for the female lead. Btw, I didn't know there was a Flower Boy series.

(http://cultclassicrecords.bandcamp.com/album/adaptation) If you get Nanjang (MBC America if you're in the US), you might be able to find it subbed.

      Umm...from what I can remember, maybe give Re:Plus a try? One of the latest albums I checked out was Relax & Smooth (which was okay) but apparently he came out with another one last month. There's a lot of stuff that not only he does but I think compilations as well with other artists (In Ya Mellow Tone series); you can branch out from there. MYK was featured on one of with Pe2ny in the In Ya Mellow Tone 7. I really liked the Everlasting Truth album but it's a little different.

      Here's some to try out:

      its kpop stuff, oneway produced, donghae's i wanna love you (?), some for b1a4 and mblaq (tho i don't know exactly which song)... but their latest song beautiful day is an excellent indication for what we might expect to get once they drop something as a group :)
