The girl group well known for their cheerier concepts take on a hauntingly beautiful journey with their dark new image.

The girls of CLC are taking us to the skies with a catchy new banger in what has become their signature glamorous girl crush style.
A.C.E. – “Goblin (Favorite Boys)”
The five membered boy group (members: Donghun, Jun, Wow, Kim Byeongkwan, Chan) are back with an catchy, powerful, absolute banger. The saturated colours, the mashup of feminine and masculine styles, the fusion of genres is everything we’ve come to recognize as uniquely K-POP. Definitely worth a listen.
IONIQ x BTS – “I’m On It” (for Hyundai)
Yes, this is an advertisement. But it’s also got a hella cool music video.
H1GHR Music Artists – “The Purge”

Straying away from mainstream K-POP, here is some mumble rap that is quite frankly, a little bizarre.
3rd September
JAMIE – “Numbers”
Jamie bringing the light R&B vibes with this catchy anthem calling out society and it’s tendency to grade everything.
Super Junior D&E – “B.A.D”
When is a SuJu track ever not catchy? Straight off their 4th EP ‘Bad Blood‘, Donghae and Eunhyuk turn into “bad” biker boys in the EP’s funky lead single.

Bizzy never dissapoints. This feel good track is a blessing to us mere mortals. Enough said. You need to experience this one for yourselves.

This soothing acoustic track is endearingly soft, very lullaby material.

Fresh off his third solo album ‘Never Gonna Dance Again: Act 1‘, “Criminal” is a moody, angsty, dance pop masterpiece.
YooA (Oh My Girl) – “Bon Voyage”
Oh My Girl’s YooA made her solo debut in stunning fashion. The song itself carries a fresh and pure feel, and the cinematography is breathtaking. Possibly inspired by ‘Princess Mononoke‘, ‘Tinkerbell‘ and ‘Pocahantas’, the magical forest fairy vibes are alive in this release.
