Asian Junkie Asian pop. Without discretion.
…well, better late than never? Ha. Let’s get into some of my favourite b-sides from October, shall we?
——
aespa – “Iconic”
This one was a pretty tough choice between the above track and “Lucid Dream”, which I also really enjoyed. This one just makes a bit more of an impression, and aespa are still in the early stages – so right now it feels more important.
Youngjae (GOT7) – “Tasty”
I love this vibe for him, it just feels right.
Woodz – “Kiss of Fire”
Woodz continues his trend of dark, sultry pop gorgeousness and I continue to love every moment of it.
N.Flying – “Video Therapy”
I’ve never particularly paid attention to N.Flying before now, but this song is currently at the top of my “most played” list, and I also bought the album as soon as I was done listening to it. So yeah; it slaps.
Blitzers – “K-Pop”
What’s that? An overdramatic boy group bop?? Y’all know I love those.
Pixy – “Moonlight”
I adored this whole mini, and it’s a little difficult to work out which are the b-sides seeing as three of the tracks have MVs…but this one is my favourite so I’m sticking with it. Please listen to all of the mini, though!
Enhypen – “Upper Side Dreamin’”
I recently realised that this group isn’t called HyPHen, like I thought they were, and I actually feel sort of betrayed? Anyway, this song is a bop.
Tri.be – “Got Your Back”
You really just can’t go wrong with a cute girl group track. Yes I am incredibly easy to please.
Lee Jinhyuk – “Coffee on Sunday”
It’s that time again – time to play “can I bop to it?”. In this case, the answer is: yes, but make it slightly subdued.
Kingdom – “We Are”
Let’s immediately play another game of “can I bop to it?”. In THIS case, the answer is: yes, absolutely, it’s a perfect little serotonin hit.
Seventeen – “Crush”
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: Seventeen are my boys, and they rarely disappoint me. They’ve managed to kill it yet again.
CL – “Chuck”
She’s so cool and I love what an absolute blast CL seems to be having at the moment. She deserves it and this track slaps.
Nam Woohyun – “Alone”
Vocal king Woohyun has kindly come to remind us all why we love him, and I love that for us.
CNBlue – “Hold Me Back”
This track was perfect for autumn, and I have been listening to it every time I get sick of winter already being here and being so fucking cold.
Park Jihoon – “Want!”
Jihoon’s voice is so nice; I have no idea how he isn’t one of my super faves at this point.
Jeon Somi ft. Giriboy – “Don’t Let Me Go”
The playful melody, Somi’s vocals, and Giriboy featuring make this a top track for me – because I am, as I have already said, extremely easy to please.
