21:32 My Top Songs of the Month - Розваги
Her comment on every song: It's a good song but it's not my style 😭
That's what happens when you're real and don't get swayed easily by tiktok.
I also felt that way with most of the songs in april. Like ZeroBaseOne Sweat is a good song, but not my style so I don’t like it much.
what does she even like
I am so in love with Heya! Maybe the music video being so beautiful is helping, but anyway it’s one of their best songs for me! It’s not a pre release by the way, their EP is out! But there is going to be a MV for Accendio as well.
ice queen is good too
@@okie0629 i love the intro of ice queen those haunting vocals chef's kiss
@@okie0629 Yes it’s my favorite Bside!!
Yeahhh good job guys 🎉. Culture appropriation is ignored again 🥳
The absolute standout hit this month for me has been Midas Touch, I am obsessed with it. Other releases I enjoyed were from ZB1, Onewe, ONF, ILY:1, Solar, Kingdom, Yuqi and TXT.
Accendio is such a vibe! I hope the MV's good too.
Well it is not that mv get quirkier as you said that txt mv is so interesting. Their lore is super interesting and therefore they re mv are always have been deep.
My fave : Bubble Gum by NewJeans , Spot by Zico n Jennie and Maestro by Seventeen.
I'm addicted to Bubble Gum, like this song is everything. Starting from the MV with this retro vibe, and how spontaneus it looks too! It is literally them being them. And to the song itself, all the adlibs that mostly Dani and Hanni are doing in the song are addicting, Dani part just after the first chours then Haerin just after that Dani part are so so good! The chours is perfection for the song too imho, it fits the concept so much. This song is just a vibe!
THAT PART OF LUCKY GIRL SYNDROME ALSO REMINDS ME OF SOME SONG BUT I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO PUT MY FINGER ON IT SINCE THE EP RELEASED
I think it sounds like that “following following following” part in Maroons 5 song “Maps”
I think it's dazzling by POW
@@chaarlyex8025omgg yess thank you
favorite liar by the wrecks..
Sza ?
Oh, as an Army and a casual NewJeans enjoyer, I was worried I was letting the recent drama cloud my judgement of Bubble Gum. Thank you for validating my ears haha you said exactly what I was thinking!!
I separate the politics and actual songs in the industry. So no matter how much s--t a company gets into, it will not affect my opinion of a song.
Kiss of Life just knocked it out of the park, prob my fav song so far this year
We gotta say seventeen devoured HARD
@_Imbored.-jq1ps YASS SAY IT LOUDERR
they slay every comeback 🔥⚡
❤
I would have loved Maestro if it had more vocal parts and not that much empty just instrumental parts.
SEVENTEEN RIGHT HERE
they way my draw dropped when you put maestro and heya in ygs dungeon..
i have no taste
I really love Earth Wind and Fire! It's such a cute, fun song and it always puts me in a good mood. :)
Yuqi's "Freak" is so fun and happy! I love it.
My favs were Midas Touch, Sheesh and Heya
Deja Vu is so good though, truly 2nd gen vibes! The more I stream it the more I love it ☺️
Big booty bop: Midas Touch by Kiss of Life
Cup of milk: Deja vu by TXT, Earth, Wind, and Fire by Boynextdoor, Sweat by Zerobaseone
2nd gen vibes: Bye my monster by ONF, C'est le vie by Cravity, Maestro by Seventeen, Blush by Woo!ahh!, I'm ready by Chungha, Our by Boynextdoor, Like that by Babymonster, Batter up (OT7 version) by Babymonster
Grower not a shower: Impossible by Riize, Renegade by Lucas, Glow by Big Ocean, Spot by Zico ft Jennie, Heya by IVE, Freak by Yuqi, Flip that coin by The Kingdom, Love, Love, Love, Love, Love! by N.ssign, Youth2Youth by Epex
Skip: Like a Movie by DKZ, Beautiful maze by Drippin,
YG's dungeon: IMMM by ILY:1
Kpop hell: Lucky girl syndrome by Illit, Little light by Doyoung, Bubble gum by Newjeans,Sing! by Bewave
I agree
Bubble gum is such a awsome song
My favorite songs of April
Samuel - Shawty
Leo - Pretty Plzzz
82major - Choke
Lee Jin Hyuk - Relax
Love seeing your personal top 10 at the end! So honest and cool to have a mix of kpop and other songs in there, because most of us kpop superfans really do listen to a variety of genres
same I felt the same way about Midas touch when I first heard it. it took a while to grown on me and now it stays in my head lol
This month was impeccable (personally)
TXT: I loved Deja vu, I kinda got emotional listening to it haha.
KOL: kiss of life killed it, I loved the song it is sooo fun.
IVE: this group releases hits every time, I didn’t think it was possible for group to be releasing hits each comeback (no wonder why HYPE was scared of them 😂)
SVT: I wasn’t impressed with their comeback tbh, SVT to me is hit or miss but that’s just me.
I no longer enjoy any kpop songs anymore recently, but NewJeans bubblegum blew me away because i LOVE japanese city pop!
OMG HEYA! I've never been this earlyy❤❤
Love your videos!
Omg i love your videos! Glad that I'm early!
my fav bg cb this year is BOYNEXTDOOR's... OUR and Earth, Wind, and Fire are my fav songs on the album
I.M's Lure MV was amazing, as was his whole solo album 🙌
REAL, Im literally in love w that song.
HEYA IS THEIR BEST SONG AND LOVE DIVE WAS MY FAV KPOP SONG
I'm french and your pronunciation of "déjà vu" is just soooo good, you really sounded like a native French speaker ❤
Sorry if I made some mistakes, english is actually my fourth language lol 😂
i speak french! haha 💕
Your English is good!
@@moluccensis Oh, ok now I understand 😅💞
@@ruthie9011 Thank you
Fourth language! That's super cool! Your English is really good!
Love watching your opinion as always! Could you maybe review Solar's "But I" next month? It came out on April 30th, so I was expecting it not to be here. Hope you see this! Have a wonderful day!
New Findings about HYBE and Dahn World.
H: Healing
Y: Yourself
B: Brain
E: Education
Extremely powerful politicians (former prime minister, former and current members of parliament, former and current mayors, former and current ministers, and more) were found to have sent Dahn World congratulatory messages for their event.
Be careful H.Y.B.E loves to sue
ur reaching, no one cares
Stop reaching and believing every conspiracy theory. Min Heejin is a problematic person and a known liar.
thank god my favorite vids are back 😭
I love the intro and outro of bubble gum With Heyin at the end being like "ahhhh" and shaking the bubble wand XD it makes me smile every time.
I wondered why your review is so short this time and then i checked and realized that you forgot Rolling Quartz, Apink, Solar, Xdinary Heroes, Loossemble, the pre releases of ARTMS and the debuts of Lucas, Nowadays, VVUP, ViV and Bewave xD
My favourites from this list were definitely bubble gum, heya and midas touch
The part you played from Lucky Girl syndrome that reminds you of another song, to me sounds similar to a part in "Le Voya9e" by Kepler 🤔
The "I believe" part of Illit you can't get out of your head is from "I believe I'm falling in love" from Yarbrough and People's. It's an old R&B song...
My favorite song this month was Little Things by Xdinary Heroes, in my opinion their best title track! Hopefully you can include it in the next month‘ review :)
Agreed happy to find another villain
Honestly my opinions on the Riize songs are
Don’t stream any riize songs boycott until Seungchan comes back ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
In spotify there are people uploading RIIZE's songs in the way you upload a podcast so people can listen without streaming,so just search that if youu want to listen to some RIIZE
Yesss
I agree
Babymonster 'Sheesh" and "Like that" is the best kpop song this year. they are the next revolution of the kpop. they have all the elements (vocal, dance, rap, SP, songs, huge fandom, some haters🤣) to became next biggest girl group.
gurl the way you said deja vu was so on point (coming from a french person aka me)
even when you pronounce etc i'm like "is she french or not"🤍
ZEROBASEONE's 'SWEAT' is actually a pre-release for their new album!
i'm glad to know! haha
Angelina always has the tea when it comes to the latest drama in kpop. 😂💯💯 after seeing all this Jojo Siwa stuff I was like .. man Angelina would be covering this too if she did American pop culture 😂. 2024 is crazy everywhere 😅yikes
I believe, I believe, I believe I'm falling in love ... Not sure what song that is . 1970's?
Sweat by ZB1 is a prerelease single.
It gonna be a B-side on their upcoming mini album that comes out on May 13th.
Naurrrrr I love Bubblegum xD But hey better a grower than skip xD
i (will) love it too!
My top comebacks/debuts from lately are probably riize, illit and j-hope
I also liked wooah, txt and kof
I also love espresso 😭
Bubblegum🔥🔥💯💯💪💪💕💕
D.O also had a comeback just recently (on the last day of April HAHA). It's called Popcorn and its not even the title track yet! The title track is called Mars and its coming next week AHHHH. He never misses, also the MV makes me giddy and happy :D
i wish you included solar's "but i", which was released on 30th april! i really loved it - the message, the delivery, the performance, the vocals, everything... 😍
The slowed down part in Good Luck Babe comes at the very end. Its one of my favourite parts of the song!
yeah i like that part too, but im wondering if the song slows down slightly in the chorus too!
KISS OF LIFE💋
Deja vu❤❤
Hey Angelina. At 12:43 you wondered what that melody was, and i thought it was Maroon 5's "Maps". "Following, Following, Following" is what you may be remembering. ALSO here's some songs i recently added to my playlist: Hold Tight (꽉 잡아 (Hold Tight)) ~flash
In Bloom ZEROBASEONE
But I Like You BOYNEXTDOOR
Perhaps you or someone will like them. Happy Summer!
Whenever i hear kiss of life “midas touch” chorus my mind goes directly to charlie puth’s song how long because of their similarities
Seventeen maestro song of the year
If it doesn't win or AOTY,SOTY,or best boy group dance performance of the year then things are definitely rigged,like they slayed so hard only one song deserves alot of awards
FACTS
Regardless, I think April was stacked with great songs and comebacks. Another good month for Kpop imo.
Ahahah read this comment and for a second I was like didn't April disband?
I loved Ives comeback
YESSSSSSS to Sabrina Carpenter Espresso!!! I'm soooo addicted to this song ever since I saw her at Coachella!!!! Chappell Roan so good too! Love your taste in music
Where's the ranking at the end?
That part in Lucky girl syndrome you thought was familiar is from Twice’s Best thing I ever Did! 💫
I feel the same with Heya. It didn't hit me well until the bridge. Would put it on grower tho, but I blame tiktok for that one.
Its obvious the song magnetic and lucky girl syndrome were affored to hybe by some outside producer as song meant for new jeans that higherups at hybe repurposed to be used by illite but no one is saying that...
Heya is soo good!
SOTY
PLEASE check out all the comments about burn the bridge teaser. That's exactly their goal. 🙏
Girl we got the same taste and its crazy😂
For me it goes:
Love: Spot by Zico ft Jennie and Popcorn by Doh Kyong Soo
Like: Freak by Yuqi and Bubblegum by NWJNS
TBD: Heya by IVE and But I by Solar
Wanted to love: Midas Touch by KIOF and Candy Crush by ARTMS - still love both groups but I'm kinda over the Y2K trend
where is solar but i
Sheesh is listenable but Heya is a skip…? I don’t understand it but hey, music is subjective ig
heya's chorus is boring imo and sheesh chorus isn't good either but sheesh is obv better as a whole song
I find accendio is a much better song. I feel like ice queen could have done really well as a title track.
Deja Vu 💙
Heya i feel the same way, for me it’s the last chorus
What about loossemble and artms 😓
Angelina. How dare you not put Loosemble on this list! STREAM GIRLS NIGHT!
i like midas touch, but it didnt land for me either. its a good song, but not once did i go out of my way to listen to it. its on my playlist and i tend not to skip it, but thats about it.
i felt bad bc i was getting hyped up before the release but i just dont find myself going back to the song🫤
nah i don’t like it anymore. ppl says it gives off “2nd gen vibes”, but i don’t really see it. stan kiof tho
Xdinary heroes had a comeback on april 30th too!!!
One Last Time- Ariana Grande has a similar part as Ill-It's Lucky Girl Syndrome
You should check VVUP and XODIAC…
Sometimes i wonder if she even likes kpop 😂 every review she does, each song she's like "its not really my style..." ok... lol
this 😭😭
Stan ily:1
MAESTRO ON TOP 🔥
THEY ATE
missed girls night 💔
Angelina did you hear like that by babymonster its sooo good 😊
i have heard some snippets on tik tok but i’ll go listen to the whole thing!
midas touch is one of my fav
dohkyungsoo‘s popcorn just came out on 30th and the mv is fun and cute, definitely recommended
You aren’t crazy, the music does slow down multiple times in Goof Luck, Babe!
No love for Loossemble's Girls Night?
heya's chorus reminds me of red velvet b-sides
Does Angelina have Latin American or Spanish ancestry? I only ask because she often mentions Spanish-language music. And no, this isn’t hate, I’m Mexican lol.
You forgot Hyuna’s new song Q&A?
RIIZE, TXT released bops❤❤❤ I love luck syndrome too. Midas touch and Heya was good too and for Sheesh i actually listen to aespa ai version only.Its really good😂🔥🔥
I am numb to some good songs and its sad
I just never listen to midas touch but i know its good
Loossemble girls night?
EXO D.O❤ Popcorn🍿🍿🍿
OH MY HAT, ANGELINA, ten minutes in, and you're "not my style"ing all over my favourite songs from the month! Shocking
I'll still support your high quality journalism, but GRUDGINGLY 🤣
By the end of the video I was thinking "...yeah, fair" more than not tho lol
oh nooooooo hahaha glad you're still here though!
never beewn this early
Baby monster ?!
12:47 Sounds like IU Lilac! ❤
Idk why, but lucky girl syndrome reminds me of twilight by Kim Lip idk 😅😅
Wind sunlight water ran so Earth wind fire could walk
Maestro by Seventeen ❤❤
Halfway between big booty bop and grower = *big booty grower*
HEYA = BEST!!!!!!!
