What I’m Listening To: February, 2017

I’m just gonna jump right into this my February 2017 list of fav releases!

Seoul Vibes

One of our Favs from August 2016 was the YouTube channel, Seoul Vibes, which curates Korean Hip Hop, R&B, Soul, Drum & Bass Lounge songs. They were on a hiatus, but are now back in full force! Head over to their YouTube account for new jams from underground and unknown Korean artists!

Here are some songs selected by Seoul Vibes:

미안해 (I’m Sorry) ft. 빈지노 (Beenzino)

Artist: Zion.T | Album: OO

Purchase on iTunes | Stream on Spotify

Other great listens from Zion.T: Complex ft. G-용 (G-Dragon)

Body Talk

Artist: Red Velvet| Album: Rookie

Purchase on iTunes | Stream on Spotify

While I like Red Velvet’s, about half the time I don’t like their releases and the other half I am obsessed! This time around I was not a fan, at all, of “Rookie.” However, this time around two of their non-title tracks really grabbed me. “Talk To Me,” and most of all “Body Talk” are unlike anything I’ve heard from Red Velvet before.

“Talk To Me” nodded to their typical, upbeat, almost hyper tunes, but retained a bit of maturity. “Body Talk,” however, was slow and sensual, the exact opposite of their typical, super girly, fast paced, aegyo numbers.

Other great listens from Red Velvet: Talk To Me

넘어와 (Come Over) ft. 백예린 (Baek Yerin)

Artist: DEAN | Album: Limbo

Purchase on iTunes | Stream on Spotify

Don’t Recall

Artists: K.A.R.D | Album: Vol. 2- ‘Don’t Recall’

Purchase on iTunes | Stream on Spotify

After an unexpectedly strong debut with “Oh Na Na,” K.A.R.D had a lot to live up to after making such a strong impression with their first single. “Don’t Recall,” wasn’t as strong a song as “Oh Na Na,” but still lived up to the precedent that the group set the first time around.

It was a well balanced dance number, and the group shows a promising future as a co-ed group.
