I think Twenty-three is really fun and different from what IU usually do. In fact, I’m not sure IU does things in usual ways ever, except maybe ballads. Because it seems her concepts are changing a lot from album to album. That’s good because the cabaret thing was boring and I was hoping we would forever forget it. So my wish became true. There’s a few song from her new album that are good, like Red Queen and Zezé, though that last one is strange a bit. IU might be trying to break from her “perfect little sister of the nation” image.

I’m sorry about the 28 ranked song, I couldn’t find anything about it, at all.

I like No Make Up. I don’t love it yet though. But the thing is, most Zion.T stuff is better than about half or 2/3 of everything that is released. So yeah, I’ll enjoy it, even if it’s a little less than his previous songs. At the same time, I really got into Zero Gravity lately, that I thought was a bit lacking specialness before.

I think I kinda like I from Taeyeon, even though I forget Verbal Jint is a part of the song every time I listen to it (he’s there for a little part and never comes back, so maybe that’s why) and that Taeyeon has trouble with her English pronunciation at the end of the chorus (or it’s the way the melody is done, it kinda blurs the pronunciation and make it sounds like “My life is so beauty”, which doesn’t make any sense). I’m usually not into emotional vocal stuff, but I really like it in this song for some reasons. The MV is pretty too.

A few things to talk about. I already glossed over a few song that are here in the chart overview, but there’s a few that never came up (if I remember correctly).

Like Purfles for example. They had a great debut, and I think A Bad Thing is a strong song too. I hope they get more recognition and continue on the path they are right now.

I’m not sure if I talked much about Miwoo yet. And I wasn’t sure also about how I was feeling about that song for a while. But I quite like it now and I still think her voice is beautiful.

I quite like Huk, even though sure, Unicorn isn’t the greatest girlsgroup there is and the MV is a little not up to the standard somehow. The song is still catchy and I find myself wanting to dance to the chorus.

That said, the few songs that really got in my head throughout the month are Son E Ga, Get Some Air and Cinderella. I’m not saying the others are not as great (though Son E Ga really is awesomesauce), but either they didn’t get the “earworm” effect with me or I haven’t listen to them enough so they get stuck up there. I got to get on top of things and listen to a few of them a lot more because, while doing the playlist, I realize I’ve been missing out on great music.

I think Welcome Back is maybe one of the only song of iKON I like. It sounds a little like something I know, but I cannot quite put my finger on it. Anyway, I would have prefer that song to go high up in the charts and have a MV to support it.

I really like Scar. The chorus is catchy and it’s not just a sad ballad that goes on and on with the vocal performance. Maybe it’s because Cheetah is there for the verses or something. Or it’s because it has this upbeat punchy twist that makes it a little less ballad-ish.

As I said in the Top 30, I need to listen to Ailee song a few more time. Why? Because I’ve been listening to Insane a few times, then left it aside for little while. Then, returning back to it now, I really enjoy the chorus a lot more and kinda like the song as a whole. The MV is a little too… into itself, so maybe that’s partially why it threw me up at first. But the song is nice.

I think I might need to listen to Mind Your Own Business a few more time to see if I like it or not. For the moment, I think it’s okay, but I’ve heard better stuff from Ailee before so I don’t know.

Then, the only thing I really like in Yezi’s Solo is Jay Park’s part, which is the main thing in his version of the song. So why bother with this one?
