Monthly Music: Favorite Releases 2015 August

Hi all! It's that time of month again where I share with you my favorite music releases from last month. I know that post comes super late in the month, but I had such a difficult time narrowing down my favorite releases to a small set of 8 songs.

In this month's favorite releases there are tracks from Kpop groups, a Cpop solo artist, and one Asian-American group. August was a crazy music month, in my opinion, with the comeback of 2 of Kpop's household girl groups: Girls' Generation (SNSD) and Wonder Girls. This was the first full-length album that SNSD and Wonder Girls have released since the change in members - Jessica leaving Girls' Generation and Sohee and Sunye leaving Wonder Girls while Sunmi rejoins the groups. As a fan of both groups, I couldn't wait to listen to the albums. Needless to say, both Girls' Generation and Wonder Girls title songs - "Lion Heart" and "I Feel You" respectively - made it onto this month's playlist. Not only was August the comeback for many Kpop groups, but it was also the introduction of Huang Zitao as a solo artist - Z.Tao -since his departure from EXO. Talk about a notable month of music!

2015 August - Kpop from DaniSweetiee on 8tracks Radio.

Tracklist:

1. AZIATIX "Better"

2. 1TensioN "Burning Love"

3. Z.Tao "Cinderella Girl"

4. Joo Young ft 매드클라운 & 웨일 "Downtown Love"

5. Z.Tao "Feel Awake"

6. Wonder Girls "I Feel You"

7. Girls' Generation "Lion Heart"

8. B1A4 "Sweet Girl"

For this playlist, 3 of the tracks I picked had a throwback/retro meets modern-day kind of vibe to them. Maybe it's simply because of the way the music videos for the songs were shot, but either way I am digging the nostalgic feeling. The tracks I'm talking about are Wonder Girls "I Feel You," Girls' Generations "Lion Heart," and B1A4's "Sweet Girl."
