Rob’s Pick of the Week

(G)I-DLE - Wife

I woke up in the middle of the morning, seeing this release, so I decided to check it out on my phone while half awake in bed. I’m not normally into (G)I-DLE’s music, but with pre-releases, artists can usually stray from their signature sound and I was pleasantly surprised. It’s very american radio-coded. It’s a fun song, it’s too bad that they couldn’t promote it because of the lyrics. I definitely want to see more of this from them.

Rob’s Second Pick of the Week

Kim Jaehwan - Ponytail

I love this kind of modern funk genre. Not many people do this nowadays, but former Wanna One members seem to do it. This song just has a fun and bright vibe to it. I need more of it.
