New Job, New Bedding, New Notebooks

So, I’m going to pre-apologise for going completely awol during my Mellow Monday posts. I know I had 2 left to go but a lot happened and I kind of got super distracted. As the title suggests, I did get a new job, and for the last few months it’s been a mixture of preparing […]

Mellow Monday! Part 10, Dumbfoundead – Water

I have posted about Dumbfoundead quite a while ago for a Mellow Monday and I had to squeeze him in. I know some people might argue he isn’t technically in the ‘Korean Hip Hop’ category but oh well. The whole Foreigner album for me was great, I loved how this album was an exploration towards […]

Mellow Monday! Part 9, Haon & Vinxen – Barcode

My journey to discovering this song was a little backwards. I found this song whilst watching the Korean talent show Dancing High. Team Hoya’s Jisung and YoonJun danced to this as part of their ace performance and I really loved it. I added it to my playlist and went on about my day. Recently I […]

Mellow Monday! Part 8, Ph-1 – Cupid ft PENOMECO

Number 8 in this Mellow Monday! onslaught is this wonderful feel good song by Ph-1. This is really my morning song, without fail it always makes me smile when I’m getting ready. The song is very easy on the ears and the beat isn’t too busy to distract you from the lyrics. The pre-chorus really […]

Mellow Monday! Part 7, Punchnello – Blue Hawaii ft Crush & PENOMECO

This for me, is one of those forever chilling songs – If that makes any sense at all. The mixture of Punchnello’s fast and sharp rapping, a splash of PENOMECO in the bridge coupled with Crush’s smooth vocals on the chorus really makes for some easy and generally great listening. I’m really happy Jay signed […]

Mellow Monday! Part 6, DPR Live – Martini Blue

DPR Live … DPR in general as a collective is just a hub. A hub of so much creative talent its actually quite scary. I love that these talented individuals have channeled their talents to create such amazing pieces of work. From music production, visuals to the lyrics themselves. It’s art at its finest. This […]

Mellow Monday! Part 5, Crush – None

I remember a few years ago, randomly stumbling across Crush in a cover he filmed with Lydia Paek for Pusher Lover Girl and just being mesmerised by his voice and the pureness in it. After then, I will admit, he did kind of, completely by accident, drop off my radar. That was until I heard […]

Mellow Monday! Part 4, Woodie Gochild – Cotton Candy

This is a relatively new addition to my playlist but its such a great song, a true summer anthem. I love the creative textures in the song and Hwasa’s vocals really compliment the song. We won’t delve deep in to the lyrics as well, I suggest googling a translation to see what I mean – […]

Mellow Monday! Part 3, Dean ft Syd – Love

I can promise you, that this is not the only entry from Dean in my top 12. Dean for me is just an amazing artist and producer. His vocal range, creativity and personality are just incredible. I also love reading about his journey into music – I love the fact that the route he took […]

Mellow Monday! Part 2, Crucial Star ft. Nam Surim – It Hurts Me Too

I remember a few years ago randomly stumbling across this song and just being taken by the sound of the song – I know most of you are thinking, well no shit sherlock, all songs have sound. But Crucial stars rap with the juxtaposition against Surim’s vocals is really beautifully pieced together, the gentle nature […]
