╔══════════════╗ Hey Everyone, I hope you all had a good week. My Week was pretty good, with a lot of excellent tunes 1that helped move it forward. Before we hop into the episode, I want to let you know that tomorrow, August 24th, I will finally tell you what my summer anthem and summer album were for 2025’s summer. Another thing I’m not going to be doing on today’s episode is reviewing Like 1 by Twice because I’ll be doing an album review of Enemy next week. Now let’s jump into the music and see what the artists delivered this week. ╚══════════════╝ https://preview.redd.it/evukzoyl0tkf1.jpg?width=1536&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2245e243dab579cfdb771c6f0b881552cf864264 Best of the Week :August 18th & August 20th From JOY, with Love - The 1st Mini Album - Joy/laundri - Moon Byul This week was hard to decide as two artists took over my week. Joy was the first artist with her 1st mini album that kept pulling me back. Love Splash is the title track and one I enjoy, but I still find that Get Up and Dance should’ve been the title track. La Vie En Bleu has this Paris vibe that fits wonderfully with the vocals from Joy. The second artist is Moon Byul, who takes over my week with an album that hits as hard as the Joy Record. " Goodbyes and Sad Eyes" is the title track, and although I find the pop-rock vibe generic, as we’ve heard it before. I still enjoy what Moon byul brings to the table with this tune. Da Capo has this melody that reminds me of Legend of Zelda, which keeps me coming back for more. Drip is where Moon byul goes for a boy group sound that fits her perfectly. It was hard to pick which album would take over my week, but I’m glad Joy and Moon Byul both delivered albums that kept pulling me back for more. https://preview.redd.it/td7qbzdu0tkf1.jpg?width=686&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c6a5dbc0e2747b2d7f2d5f8cd7729c8a4b8aacd9 ━━━━━━━━☓ ━━━━━━━ Other Korean Releases of the Week: August 20th Dancing Alone (90s Ver.) - KiiiKiii This week, KiiiKiii released a little bit of remixes for their song Dancing Alone, and I decided to talk about the 90s version. The 90s version brings in some synths that blend wonderfully with the vocals. I love how smooth the hook is, as it’s pulled me back for more. I do still like the original version of the song more, but the '90s version might be the best of their version of the track. I still will be coming back to this version from time to time. https://preview.redd.it/33v9oi9b1tkf1.jpg?width=1260&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f54a1adbdf79ee80703fc717355b7a1c7e18fab6 ━━━━━━━━☓ ━━━━━━━ Teenage Blue - Hi-Fi Unicorn Hi-Fi Unicorn is back with a new single album delivering three new tracks. Teenage Blue opens up the single with a fast-paced instrumental. The guitars and percussion fit perfectly together, crafting the overall melody. The vocals fit this rock sound wonderfully, as I’ve been listening to a lot this week. Cotton Candy i the first B-side on the single, which opens up with some synths that help blend with the guitars and percussion. I love the hook as it’s bouncy, and the vocals slay that section. The final song on the single is Backyard High-Five which brings in an acoustic-rock vibe mixed with their usual rock sound. The smooth vocals blend with the instrumental that will have you tapping along. This overall single album from Hi-Fi Unicorn i one that I’ll be having on repeat for a while because the songs are well-crafted and the vocals help elevate the music. https://preview.redd.it/7rj3m0qh1tkf1.jpg?width=2500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=290f3165e4f56c9665c59aae764003f60961e028 ━━━━━━━━☓ ━━━━━━━ Weekly Lastfm Roundup (August 15th - August 20th) Artist: Twice https://preview.redd.it/xjru013o1tkf1.jpg?width=696&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f38193a153de928c627107f3231b614ba97d92cc ━━━━━━━━☓ ━━━━━━━ Album: What Have We Done - pH-1 https://preview.redd.it/4iitgako1tkf1.jpg?width=1500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=392d54de563a9e6e7035ddbdd0794c161d02cac2 ━━━━━━━━☓ ━━━━━━━ Song: Like 1 - Twice https://preview.redd.it/w1hl9hzo1tkf1.png?width=1000&format=png&auto=webp&s=97ff6b254aeab0a9c78ce8e44c3269543540eee3 submitted by /u/Maltifandom23 [link] [comments]
