Hey Steemiters!
It’s pending summer (although the weather here in Chicago thinks otherwise) and that means it’s time to release those Summer Bops!
I have a list of May promotional releases that I think are going to be the jams of this summer bops. Sistar used to be the overarching queens of summer but with them now gone, who’s going to take over!?
1. (G)I-DLE ((여자)아이들) - LATATA
(G)I-DLE is my number one summer song pick so far. This rookie girl group has already won a number of awards for their debut track and rose on the charts quick with their bop LATATATA. An element to be a song of summer is the use of tropical/reggae sounds and a bomb ass dance move to follow along. The post chorus has got to be my favorite part as I love the pick up in the beat and a little bit of tut-ing, then the second part of the post-chorus has a bomb move to follow along too.
2. CROSS GENE (크로스진 ) - FLY
Cross Gene made their comeback this May with an EDM inspired track and a colorful music video to boot. They even run around with colorful smoke bombs, how does that NOT scream summer? The music video is basically of the boys enjoying life freely as a summer music video should be.
Honorable Mention:
SHINee - Good Evening
SHINee's Back Yo! And in the first of three part of a much deserved 10th anniversary celebration. The song is very reminiscence of their track View with the EDM sounds. Everything that comes from SHINee is a bop, but the reason why I didn't do it as first pick was because the dance moves isn't something to easily follow.
Can't wait to see what songs of summer June may bring!!
