I’m getting more and more picky as time goes by. It was hard to find 8 songs this month, and I bet it will only get harder further down the road.
Weirdly enough, I like White Night, the “intro”, more than the other two main title of the new Taeyang album. The other two song are like… I don’t know, they’re trying too hard to be the new Eyes, Nose, Lips, but failing at it. I guess that the chorus of Darling is catchy enough, but it’s still a so-so song.
I have to say I’m impressed with Hwang In Sun. The song is nice and it suits her well I think.
The MV for Hello is not the best. But the song is really catchy and I enjoy it quite a lot.
Since Instiz and Melon don’t work the same way, I might not put every newbies of Melon if they’re already in the Top 30 of Instiz. Like, Melon put San E, Hyorin – Coach Me in rank 41, yet it’s in the first 30 ranks in Instiz. I won’t mention it in the weekly newbies since, to me, it’s not all that much about the position of the new song, but mainly about the fact it’s a new song. So that’s that.

Finally, The SeeYa came back with a good song! I think maybe LE has something to do with it but, yeah, I enjoy it. I know some people don’t like her part in it but I think it balances well enough.

I really thought I would have more “Christmasy” song in this one, but this year was horrible in that matter so this playlist is maybe a bit more on the hip-hop vibe. And we already have one of the mashup for 2014 :)
I really really really love leeSA and their new spin of their song. I’m thinking about buying their album (it’s available on iTunes).

*I don’t have an audio vid or a MV for this one so I put the karaoke version of it. Sorry.
Kiss Me is alright, but I prefer my Zion.T doing Zion.T stuff if you know what I mean.
Breath is great. I’m not quite sure about all the part of the song, but I like one of the two boys and Shannon’s part. If I had to suggest just one track out of the newbies, it would be this one.

Well, this year, I’m really not feeling the Christmas song. It’s such a shame though, I was really looking forward for this year Christmas bonanza since last year was really fun and great.
There’s a really short MV for SsSs, but since you just get about 1/3 of the song, I didn’t put it on the YouTube playlist. The song is really fun, but I was maybe expecting something else from Dynamic Duo, even though it’s a collaboration. It’s more pop than what they usually do, even when they actually go for a more mainstream sound. But you still get some Dynamic Duo rap throughout the track.
IU’s song is the same old Christmas song that pops out on the chart every year.
Daybreak Rain is interesting, but I don’t have a real opinion on it. I think I’ll still keep an eye on Shannon since I think she might surprise us later on, but I’m not that much into that one. Her first EP is planned for 2015 so we’ll see more of her anyway.
I really hate Hearthrob. Way too aegyo for me.
But then, there’s Brand New Music that release this awesome track in all this Christmas music crap fest. I really like Brand New Day a lot, I think even more than You Make Me Feel BRAND NEW. The beat is good and Kang Min Hee’s part (the chorus) is really joyful, balancing everything quite well.
Thinking About You would be really good, if the track was only Jay Park’s part again and again. The rest is a bit meh… Kinda makes me think about Metronome.
