Favorite Music Analysis

What This Deep Cut MJ Song is ACTUALLY About - Digging the Greats

Subscribing to this channel has been one of the best decisions I've made this year. Plus this look into this Michael Jackson joint was super fascinating. Every video on this channel just goes into the history of each topic in a way that's so engaging and rich with knowledge. I highly suggest giving this a watch for a great entry point to the channel and some cool info on Michael Jackson's craft.

Favorite Single

This is Love - Queenz Eye

I decided to give this group a chance with their first comeback before this and saw some potential. Yet, this comeback with this single was so up my alley that I had to share it here. This just has the groove and vibe I live for. Their vocals over the production is on point and I like the choreo over the dance track. I'm curious to see what we'll get next from this group, but they keep improving despite being in a small company.

Favorite Mini Album

Mujuk - tripleS EVOLution

Invincible is a great title track for this release, but when it comes to the b-sides!! TripleS has truly been one of the groups to watch this entire year, and this album (plus LOVElution) is evidence of why. Although, Rhodanthe is extremely similar to IZ*ONE's Fiesta the following 4 track run is one for the ages. The complete EP is one that I can put on repeat for hours and not get tired. Therefore, I debate every day which one of those will most likely be put on my Top 25 songs of the year. Get a load of it and soon!

Favorite Interview

Fathers of K-Pop (Monotree) - ReacttotheK

It's always a pleasure to see the interviews of producers and top-liners from ReacttotheK. They ask such great questions for insight. The second part of this particular interview is no exception. Getting a good look into the different styles & perspectives of each member of the collective was really interesting. Especially for a producer like myself. Maybe it'll be a great watch for you, as well!

Favorite Music Video

B-List - Chanmina

Ever since Miko introduced Chanmina to me, I've been a fan of her and her style. She got to show her playful side, once again with this particular video and I just had to share it with you all. Give it a quick watch and enjoy the fun concept and spectacular music. You won't regret it!

Favorite EP

New DNA - XG

The entire EP is phenomenal, but the above music video, "Puppet Show" I figured I would share in tandem with this release. The music throughout the project cover many different moods and styles, but cohesively exude the XG attitude since debut. The visuals for their music have continued to get more and more epic and this was the epitome of the era. If you've been hesitant to jump onto the XG train, then I suggest you try this track out to lead into the album if it hits you right. ENJOY!!!

BM5's August 2023 Favorites

Favorite Music Video

On My Mama - Victoria Monet

The release of this song had me giddy. Hearing Victoria again and over a track sampling "I Look Good" by Chalie Boy, was such a vibe. The throwback feels along with the promotion through social media asking fans to get their step teams and fraternities/sororities to choreograph to it. Then this music video dropped and I was flabbergasted. The styling, the choreo, the overall attitude on display made me so elated I couldn't stop smiling and pressing replay. PLEASE hit play!

Favorite Kpop Discussion

How Does NewJeans Use English? - Ben Atmos

I had this video pop up in my recommended feed and was intrigued. As a guy who occasionally likes looking up English speaking idol compilations, (which explains my algorithm,) this was some perfect content. NewJeans is quite an interesting group being so young with a big international fan base, along with 2 Australian members. Seeing how they communicate with each other is quite interesting as languages intersect and blend in ways that are quite peculiar for those who aren't around many multilinguistic people. Yet, this is broken down quite nicely in an easy to understand manner. Hopefully, you get some entertainment out of it, as did I.

Favorite Cultural Discussion

Bonding or Bullying? A Deep Dive into Roasting Culture - COLORMIND.

Boy, if you don't get your uncultured, surface-level mind over here! This video right here was something that I had to share. Growing up in African-American communities, roasting has become quite a pastime. Even if they're not solely in these sectors of society, it's quite ubiquitous and known to be present there as something we bond through. Though, there's a lot to ponder over with its presence. What are the positives, negatives, origins, reach? This video truly dives into it ways that hit home for me in a lot of ways. Maybe it can be enlightening to you.
