NEW MUSIC MONDAY'S EP.2 : TROY(트로이) - Why are We?(변해가)

Hii Guys!!! I back with another NEW MUSIC MONDAY'S!!!!



TODAY'S MUSIC MONDAY CHOICE IS.....TROY!!!!








After their debut in March, TROY has finally made a comeback with an mid-tempo R&B hip-hop track co-composed by Lee Hyun Do and Bumkey. The song talks about many changes lovers go through in a relationship. The MV starts off with the quartet singing in several locations with noticeable outfit changes.  Each member is sporting their own unique version of street/ hip-hop style. The MV also includes a story-line which shows a couple going through a break-up but end the end get back together because they can't get over each other. I am in love with the song and I am in love with TROY!!! ^_^  I hope you enjoy the song as much as I do and please give TROY lots of love and support okay! ^_~

NEW MUSIC MONDAYS: EPISODE 1 - Crucial Star

Heyyy WHAT'S UP GUYS!!! long time no see but I'm back and I want to stay more frequent I'm sorry I have been away for sooooo long but A LOT of things have happened lately it's been a combination of being too busy and just pure procrastination BUT I AM BACK!!! and ready to get serious with this blog.



SOOO.... moving on from that note to be more frequent I want to start having segments and little series to guarantee that I will be posting content more frequently than in the past. I think I am going to start having a segment called "New Music Mondays" where I talk about different Korean artist that you may not know or ever heard of and I will being explaining who they are and  how they got into the music industry/business and plus I introduce some new music to refresh you and help get your week started! With that being said enough of my rambling and let's get STARTED!!!



TODAY'S ARTIST IS.....Crucial Star!!!!



He has recently made a comeback (like today haha ^_^) with this latest single "Paris".







I am feeling this song...This is Crucial Star's latest song titled "Paris" and I am LOVING IT!!!! A thing you all may not know about me is that I LOVE K-HIP HOP/ R&B!!! and the R&B feel is strong in this song. It's is a very chill and easy-going song that is perfect to start off the Autumn/ Fall season with. ANYONE at ANYTIME at ANYWHERE can sit back and listen to the relaxing melodies that this song possess. The MV takes place in the beautiful streets and gardens/parks of Paris, France. The music video was simple but had a very elegant editorial vibe; it showcased Crucial Star walking around in various well-know, popular attractions in Paris. It also displayed the citizens in their every day lives and Crucial Star interacting with some of them. What I really loved about this MV is the level of diversity among the cast in the MV; it was refreshing and added an unique, approachable and realistic feel to not just his MV but his overall image.  The fashion is also casual but still trendy. There weren't that many outfit changes through out the MV; he had at the most 3 or 4 outfit changes that mostly stuck with a black and white/street-style theme. Overall his wardrobe was simple yet very fashionable and chic...and something I would want my future boyfriend to wear! ^_~ <3. Please support him and give his newest single a listen!
