My favourite March (2020) comebacks!

First of all… I got to apologise for how L A T E this is. I don’t even really have an excuse, maybe I can blame me doing university work but… I’ve been lacking with that too. I guess I am at that point where motivation is getting hard to find in quarantine, but you guys and this blog is important to me so here we goooooo!

5. 강다니엘 (KANG DANIEL) – 2U

I have to start this one off with how funny the music video for this actually is. However, I do really enjoy the dance for this and the song itself is nice and smooth. Definitely very Kang Daniel vibes, a song that you can listen to while chilling and relaxing.

4. SUHO 수호 – ‘사랑, 하자 (Let’s Love)’

I was so excited for this to come out, and Suho did not disappoint one bit. This is such a ballad and I am so in love with it and him. If you have not yet listened please do, it is really worth it, then come back and tell me how amazing this is.

3. DONGKIZ – LUPIN

BEAT. BEAT. BEAT.
This makes me wanna get up and dance along. They are a group that I really wish would get more recognition because they are genuinely so good why is the Kpop industry sleeping on them! Honestly really like the concept and if you have a spare minute this a good group I very highly recommend!

2. Stray Kids – “바보라도 알아”

Feel like it has been a hot minute since I have had Stray Kids on this blog, but this slower version of them is something I have really enjoyed. This was definitely a grower, a few listens and I was in love with how it all sounded.

1. ITZY – “WANNABE”

ICONIC. This has been on repeat, and I really mean on repeat. I am in love with the lyrics and how positive it is about just purely being yourself, and I highly support it. The music video is so strong and please get me a few of these outfits I need them! Also, the dancing is so good and on point, this months favourite was not hard to pick!

So what has been everyone’s favourite in March?

Review: GOT7’s DYE mini album

This is a comeback I have been building up my excitement for, from the preview photos to the preview of the song and mini album the boys were already impressing. Now the comeback is actually here, let’s look slightly deeper and review the all 6 tracks that are available on Spotify.

The title track ‘NOT BY THE MOON’ is definitely one that will get stuck in your head. It’s only been out a couple of hours and it has not left my mind. There are some crazy theories from what I’ve seen on Twitter, but mostly it follows the deeper story of Romeo and Juliet (or so it seems). The storyline is well thought out and the boys look as dashing as ever. We should also focus on the dance, from what the video gives away (this is written before any dance practise has been released), it looks so energetic and smooth. GOT7 serve looks well, and can we all appreciate Jackson with his crown?

I know a lot of fans were upset because once again, J.Y.P himself has written, composed and arranged their title tracks. We all know how quite often on albums their side tracks are more suitable for the title track but hey, we can’t change that unfortunately.

Even though there is a much deeper meaning to the video, the lyrics work so well with it. The whole album gives me some proper chill vibes, an album I would have on replay while doing university work or sitting in the garden chilling with my family and pets. Personally think that the line distribution throughout it has been pretty good too.

AURA

Written and composed by Choi Youngjae (also known as ARS), I was definitely expecting a masterpiece and our boy definitely delivered well. I like the rhythm and flow of the rappers within it.

CRAZY

Written and composed by our Jaebeom (also known as DEFSOUL), I think that this is one of the most catchy songs on the album. The chorus is so nice and upbeat, making you want to have a little dance along with it. I am really impressed (once again) with how well the rappers fit into this track, and for once they’re not given cringey English lines… we will get to that later ok.

LOVE YOU BETTER

This one is one that really hits me vocally, really enjoyable… though were we expecting any different? However, this is one where I wish our ‘double b’ got rid of the cringe lyrics, just personally don’t think it fits that well, GOT7 are at that stage where I’m sure they don’t need to do that. But hey, I’m no lyrics writer and Jinyoung did so well here, he’s definitely coming for me isn’t he..!

TRUST MY LOVE

Definitely one of my favourites on the album, since the preview this was one I was waiting impatiently for. It’s probably because music wise it’s the most up my street, let me get up and dance! I really hope to see it performed one day, let it make it a possible future tour, please. Vocals are so on point too, everything about this track just really works for me… I think it’s easily identified that it is my favourite.

POISON

BEAT. That’s all I want everyone to know. Please, Mark’s rap in this is something I am living for and want to see more of!

I am aware that there are 3 more tracks which are only available on the CD, if you guys would like then eventually when my albums do arrive I can add my review of those.

But for real, what did you think and which is your favourite?
