New K-pop Releases

It's been a while since I did a K-pop post (apart from the K-pop in Public- Boys' Edition! post, the last K-pop videos one was in January), so today I'm sharing some new Korean releases! :)

 

MONSTA X- GAMBLER

First up,  here is boyband MONSTA X's new single GAMBLER, which is the first release from their 9th Korean mini album One Of A Kind.

Member Shownu is currently taking a break from the group due to health issues, so MONSTA X will promote the new mini album as a five-piece.

GAMBLER was released on 1st June.

Ex-member Wonho also has a new release, the single Ain't About You featuring American singer Kiiara. Watch the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqKXq-_32z8

 

 

EXO- Don't fight the feeling

Next is Don't fight the feeling, the new single from fellow boyband EXO. It came out on 7th June and is the title track of their special album, also called DON'T FIGHT THE FEELING (relased on the same day).




 

TWICE- Alcohol-Free

Now for the girls! This is Alcohol-Free, the latest single by girl group TWICE. It's from their 10th mini album Taste of Love which was released on 10th June.  

Alcohol-Free is the lead single and came out on the 9th.





BTS- Butter

A "newish release is BTS' Butter which came out in May. It's been No. 1 on the American Billboard Hot 100 Chart fot 3 weeks. Check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMweEpGlu_U


Hope you liked the post! :) I said back in January that I planned to share more K-pop this year, but we're already halfway through 2021 and I haven't posted much! Never mind lol. I can share more during the second half. :) I am missing Pops in Seoul which abruptly ended in April. :( I first saw it when we got the Arirang TV channel in the UK, in September 2016. But at least there is still Simply K-Pop and YouTube to keep with K-pop!

25th Anniversary of Mariah Carey's Butterfly Album

My favourite singer Mariah Carey recently released a 25th anniversary edition of her 6th studio album Butterfly. The original album was released on 16th September 1997 and featured songs such as her hit single Honey, The Roof and My All. It was actually the first album I ever bought (on cassette tape, lol) and I still consider it one of my fave MC albums. :) Butterfly was the first album that Mariah had more control over and it is R'n'B, rather than the pop (and later pop/R'n'B) of her previous releases. It also has pop and hip hop influences.  The expanded edition contain 8 extra tracks (the original standard edition has 12)- a duet version of Whenever You Call with Brian McKnight , a new take on The Roof featuring Brandy , live versions of Butterfly and My All, acapella versions of Fourth of July and Outside, an Amorphous Anniversary Club Mix of Butterfly (with DJ Amorphous ) and a remix of Honey (Another Taste of Honey David Morales Mix). I had previously heard the

Debut XG Mini Album

Japanese girl group XG have released their 1st mini album. It's called NEW DNA and was released on 27th September. XG (whose name is short for Xtraordinary Girls) made their debut in March last year and have brought out 7 singles so far- Tippy Toes, MASCARA, LEFT RIGHT/SHOOTING STAR double single), GVRL GANG , TGIF, NEW DANCE and PUPPET SHOW. The first 3 songs (or 4 including the double single) aren't on the mini album. The concept behind NEW DNA is that of being a "new species" free from conventions and limitations .  Although the group is Japanese, their creation was inspired by Korean music and they are based in South Korea. They have released songs in English so far and have been described as a global group and "X-pop". NEW DNA consists of 6 tracks- HESONO, X-GENE, GVRL GANG, TGIF, NEW DANCE and PUPPET SHOW. It is an R'n'B/pop mini album with influences from other genres, such as K-pop, dance and hip hop. My favourite song is PUPPET SHOW. I al
