I sometimes like to just share songs I’m listening to. If you’ve been reading my blog for awhile, you know by now that my music taste is very eclectic. I listen to just about anything, from KPOP, American top 40, 80s, 90s, oldies, indie music, anime theme songs, covers, whatever.
Here’s what I’m listening to this week.
I am inspired to create this post today by my discovering TXT’s new English song “Magic”. – I previously shared TXT’s other English track “Cats and Dogs” – Their English was not very good – But I still love that song – but now, in 2021, they have been working really hard on their English skills – This new track is perfect. I can understand them just fine now. They’ve come a long ways! Their dancing is just too cute too.
So without further ado…
1.) TXT – Magic
Also even though it’s not in English, their new song Loser Lover also slaps. Listen to it here:
2.) Vault Boy & Eric Nam – Everything Sucks
This is funny and catchy and kinda in the vibe of the pandemic and relatable to anyone with a broken heart or just sick of this pandemic. – And Eric is cute 🙂
3.) Jay B – B.T.W. Featuring Jay Park
I’ve been a fan of Jay Park for a long time. I haven’t heard of Jay B until now. This is really catchy. I turned on subtitles because it’s mostly in Korean except for a few lines in the chorus. It’s about a guy spending money on his girlfriend and the rapper lifestyle. “24 Everyday you’re my baby” – That’s gonna be stuck in my head for awhile lol. – They both have such pretty eyes and cute smiles lol.
4.) BTOB – Outsider
Kinda a 50’s Swing Vibe or something here – but their dancing is damn fire…. The red hair guy with the rap interlude is super sexy. But the blonde lead singer/dancer is cute, and I can’t take my eyes off him when the group is dancing. His eyes lock right into the camera and it’s hard to look away. – Sorry I don’t know their names. I’m not really a Stan. I just enjoy listening and watching 🙂
5.) Jonah Kagen – Wish You Did
This song is catchy and cute – and a lil sad – but very melodic. I’d never heard of this guy. But he’s quite talented.
6.) Jonah Kagen – Moon
So I decided to listen to a few more songs by Jonah – and I found this one. Another sad / sweet love song.
7.) Lee Hi – Only
This video is so damn cute and sweet – and a little sad – as she watches an old couple walk by, and gently fixes her boyfriend (or husband’s) shirt collar – already in the first ten seconds – you can tell it’s a tear jerker.
There’s some talented fans doing covers already of this beautiful song
8.) JMIN – Dedication (featuring Jay Park)
They’re so cute – their English is perfect too. – The lyrics are a little harsh – but well… We’re all in love with money sometimes – I mean how else can I buy dolls and video games and the newest Iphone – I’m a material girl – and this is a material world LOL.
9.) JMIN – I Swear
So I’d never heard of JMIN, so I started looking at his other songs – they’re all great. This one is even catchier than the one above. – He’s obviously dealing with a breakup or broken heart to inspire his lyrics lol.
10.) Kihyun – Little Bit Of Love Cover
Why is he so handsome? lol.
I am a fan of the original too…
Monsta X has a new song premiering tomorrow too… Set your calendars:
And in case you missed it, this was their most recent song back in June:
11.) HyunA & Dawn – Ping Pong
Never heard of them – but this song is awesome! Check it.
12.) Woosung – Lazy – Featuring Reddy
This should be my theme song – seriously – my favorite thing to do is lay in bed, or do nothing, nap, or play games, or watch anime, or other lazy things. I could do it for a few months without being bored – COVID was nothing for me – I don’t need to go out to have fun, I have fun all by myself lol.
13.) MCND – Movin’
Never heard of them – but I’m loving this.
They did a cover of BTS Dynamite. Pretty Good!
14.) Jason Derulo – Acapulo
The chorus is super catchy – “Oh oh, you’re just a little loco. Like boats in Acapulo, I’m just riding waves. Baby, Oh oh, you’re just a little loco. Emotions like a yo-yo. I love you that way.”
15.) Diane Warren, Rita Ora, Sofia Reyes, Reik – Seaside
Diverse and talented cast on this girl power breakup jam. – I want that sparkly swimsuit coverup – that’s so pretty.
16.) Sub Urban & Bella Poarch – Inferno
Nice visuals and a catchy beat
17.) Oliver Tree & Little Big – Turn It Up – Featuring Tommy Cash
LOL WTF DID I JUST WATCH?! LOL I kinda love it for making me laugh so hard.
They have some other funny songs:
18.) Mia Rodriguez – Billion Dollar Bitch – Featuring Young Baby Tate
Mia is so cute – and this song is so catchy.
19.) Oneus – No Diggity
Never heard of them – but they’re very talented.
20.) Dawn – Dawndididawn – Featuring Jessi
I’ve heard of Jessi but not Dawn – this song is catchy too
21.) Blackbear – Do Re Mi
The cats are cute lol – but the song is catchy too. “Do Rei Mi Fa So Fucking Done With You, Girl. So fucking done with all the games you played, I ain’t no Tic Tac Toe. So save the X and O’s on another note. I’m ghost.”
22.) 777 Triple 7 – Presente
I’ve never heard of this group – but I love that it has both girls and boys in the band. I haven’t seen a KPOP band like this.
23.) The Knocks – Bedroom Eyes
This video is so fun.
24.) Glass Animals – Space Ghost Coast To Coast
As a 90s Kid, I loved Space Ghost – Plus it references other 90s things like Dunkaroos, GTA, Doom, Quake, Nintendo, Pokemon and Capri Sun. 90s kids – this one’s for us. – And yes it’s weird AF – all the weird naked men…. lol.
By the way, I absolutely LOVE Heat Waves by Glass Animals. The first time I heard it on the Billboard Music Awards this year – it became one of my favorite songs of 2021. Highly recommend.
Tangerine is another great track by Glass Animals
25.) The Academic – Not Your Summer
A small indie band with only 80,000 followers on Youtube. Let’s show them some love. They’re very talented.
26.) AJR And Daisy The Great – Record Player
I didn’t know how I felt about this song at first. But by time it was halfway done, it was stuck in my head lol.
I like all of AJR’s songs really. I’m actually going to go see them Live in Pittsburgh in May 2022. Here are some of my favorite’s:

I love Imagine Dragons too. Here’s their newest song.
