BM5's November 2019 Favorites

Favorite Live Performance
World's in You - Ella Jet & Future Soul


I love, love, love ELLA JET!!! Her and the band have been uploading more and more show footage and I'm ecstatic about it. If you haven't seen my mentions of them before, they are a blend of soul, funk, alternative, jazz, and rock. This happens to show more of the alternative side of theirs. If you check out their channel, you'll see how their blend of genres truly show what fantastic artists they are and wish they would already have a project out. Or maybe that's just me. You be the judge above!

Favorite Dance Cover
Eclipse - Got7 by LOONA


As an Orbit, I have quickly appreciate Loona's skill in dancing. In their choreography and dance covers, they have proven that they are becoming experts even with every member not having dance as their strong suit. They work within their means and still manage to create clean imagery, power, and grace with each piece. It has also made Heejin my dance bias. Loona is soon to become my ULT girl group if they keep up the content and the next album is better than Blackpink's. Plus, they already have more music out for me to listen to. Anyway, this cover is simply amazing and does its best to highlight all 12 members, so enjoy!!!

Favorite Music Video
Speedboat - Denzel Curry


Possibly my favorite song from ZUU; "Speedboat" has more than a lyric video now. They made it even more cinematic from the music to the video concept. They flash through key events in the storyline and then proceed to go through those vignettes backwards chronologically. It's simply spectacular! Showing a movie-esque take on how the environment that can lead to riches and death in the streets that coerce you to hustle to make ends meet. I can't imagine garnering a greater appreciation for Denzel Curry in the hip hop scene than I have now. Check it out!

Favorite KPop Discovery
Mamamoo


Eventually, you'll all get to see my reaction to listening to their latest album, Reality in Black. For now though, just know that "HIP" was my introduction this month and I've been obsessed. I did look into their past, since I heard they've had a bit of controversy, and I get into a bit of that in my reaction video, yet I've learned they also are marvelous artists in the Idol scene. Digging into the discography, a few fan events and other content has converted me into a MooMoo. The above video is probably my favorite renditions of "HIP" since you can truly see their personalities shine through the choreo and in waiting their turns. In addition, after immediately making Moonbyul my bias from the original music video, Wheein's charisma in this relay dance made her my bias wrecker. I told you that I'm getting into KPop, ya'll! Hahaha...
