Tek - yeah it was fine

July 16

Yiyang - “Listen”

Tek - she sounds lovely, but I’m not a huge fan of ballads as debuts

Kas - It’s okay. Not an eye catching debut.

*Rankings (by K): Listen - (3)

XRO - “Welcome to My Jungle”

Tek - I’ll be very surprised if Kas doesn’t like this

SSAK3 - “Beach Again”

Tek - fun

Kas - I really like both songs.

*Rankings (by K): DDALALA - (5); Lip Gloss - (4)

Y&W - “Walk With Me”

Kas - I really liked this song. I’ll have to give anything else they have out a listen. *Rankings (by K): Walk With Me - (4)

Tek - I’m only in July and it’s getting harder and harder for songs to stand out to me. It’s a nice song, it really is, but in the past few days I feel like I’ve heard so many like it.

July 20

CHIC&IDLE - “3! 4!”

Tek - Same as before. Do I like it? Yes. Is it a nice song? Yes. Does it stand out in any way? No! (The outfits are cute, but that’s not the song.)

Kas - Look me in the eyes and tell me it isn’t SNSD 2020 edition.

*Rankings (by K): 3! 4! - (3)

Huh Chan Mi - “Highlight”

Tek - This is more my music taste. July has really been failing me.

Kas - A really solid little release. I don’t have any complaints. They weren't stand out songs, which lost them the 5,  but not everything has to be. 

*Rankings (by K): Lights - (4); I’m fine thanks - (4)

Yoon Dujun - Daybreak

Tek - Look. Again, it’s nice. It’s pleasant. He has a nice voice. For most of these debuts I really don’t have anything to say. It’s a little above average for me, but something to write home about? .........maybe.

Kas - Yes Tek, you were right. I like him. I really enjoyed this album, actually. New comfort soloist? I think yes. Little note: I like how the two songs before it are more somber, and “Fool of Love” takes on a more playful air as he is playing the fool. And after EXO-SC, I’m always here for a Moon collab.

*Rankings (by K): 0:00am - (5); Lonely Night - (5); Fool of Love - (5); Save Me - (5); Be My Light - (4)

Blastar - “One Way”

Tek - the best way I can think to describe this is ‘almost special.’ I don’t know where it missed the mark, but it did.

Kas - Yes! I love it. I don’t quite know why I like it so much, something about the chorus...*Wait they disbanded on Christmas eve? What kind of a present is that?

*Ranking (by K): One Way - (5)
