BM5's June 2024 Favorites

Favorite Music Discussion
How tripleS Became the "La La La" Group - Ben Atmos


There's been quite a few kpop essay videos from Ben Atmos that I've enjoyed lately, and the cross section of him and tripleS was certainly one I was happy to indulge in. This group definitely has a sound that carries through much of their discography which makes them one of my favorite 5th gen groups. This video in particular covers one of those characteristics that most easily identifies tripleS in the public eye and how it has been used to great effect. If you think you'd like to learn more about the group or see if you agree with his opinion, I highly suggest giving this a watch.

Favorite Comebacks
Rockstar - Lisa


It's her first solo free of YG's influence and it's a banger! 'Nuff said? I think so. Just in case, though, I love to see how ill the camera work and editing was in the video. Plus the song itself sees her kind of dabbling in the hyperpop genre in a way that truly suits her. It's easy to put on and just jam the whole way through. Ultimately, you'll end up singing along and feeling like Lisa; A ROCKSTAR!

Sticky - Kiss of Life


Kiss of Life is the other contender for favorite 5th gen group and both the title, Sticky, and Te Quiero are testaments to why that is. The music video for Sticky is so wonderfully shot with the "one-take" style of direction. The choreography is quite well done with the members and dancers involved, with all of the afro-inspired roots. The song itself is also quite a treat for the ears that immediately left me elated. Yet, the track that left me floored was Te Quiero, another English song from the group. The production and vocals in this one made me awestruck and instantly pressing replay. If you haven't gotten into Kiss of Life by now, what are you waiting for!?
