Monthly Music: Favorite Kpop/Cpop Releases for 2015 October & November

Hi everyone! I'm back with a new monthly music playlists post. Since I totally slacked off last month - sorry - I decided to put up two playlists containing my favorite releases for 2015. There's a total of 16 songs - 8 from October and 8 from November - this posts so without further ado let's begin!


Tracklist:
1. UNIQ "Best Friend"
2. Melody Day "Hallo"
3. TAEYEON "I (feat. Verbal Jint)"
4. N.Flying "Knock Knock"
6. Damiano "달다 지금 Sweet Now (feat. 남주)"
7. BTOB "Way Back Home"
8. f(x) "4 Walls"

Among the 8 tracks on the 2015 October playlist I would have to say that Taeyeon's solo debut with "I" was the one I anticipated the most before its release and it did not disappoint. As I'm a long-time fan of Girls' Generation, in which Taeyeon is a member of, I already knew that Taeyeon has amazing vocal skills. With the release of "I" it only further solidified her superb vocal skills as she delivered flawless performance after flawless performance on every music show she was promoting her song on.

Another track I thoroughly enjoyed from October was f(x)'s "4 Walls." It is such a fun song with a catchy chorus that would get stuck in my head for hours on end. It was so catchy that I eventually made it one of my ringtones for all of November.


Tracklist:
1. Wu Yi Fan 吴亦凡 (Kris) "Bad Girl"
2. J.Heart "Call My Name"
4. Royal Pirates "Let U Go"
5. Luhan 鹿晗 "Promises"
6. Royal Pirates "Run Away"
7. BTS "Whalien 52"

From November there's only one winner for music in my book: Royal Pirates. This trio of boys - Moon Kim, James Lee, and EXSY - is hands down one of my favorite music groups ever and I'm not just talking about in the Kpop realm. Each song they release is an instant favorite of mine, which meant it was super difficult for me to pick only two songs off their latest mini album, "3:3,"  to put on November's playlist. Now I think that the new mini album's release date was December 1, however the music video was officially released on their YouTube channel on November 30. Given this I've decided to add them to the 2015 November playlist. Plus the new tracks are all so addicting that I had to put them on a playlist ASAP.

As for picking which two songs I actually wanted on the playlist, I knew I had to include the title song, "Run Away," because of how meaningful it is to each member. You can see the emotions and meanings of "Run Away" represented in their music video here. James' even posted an insight on how he felt regarding music video on his WordPress, which you can read about here. The 2nd track I picked off their mini album is "Let U Go" and honestly it made it onto the playlist because I hit the "random" button to pick another track. That's how eargasmic Royal Pirates new mini album is! Or well at least in my opinion.

From the high notes and catchy chorus' of October to the more "rock" vibes of November, I hope you enjoy the tracks from the above playlists. To find more tracks to jam out to, check out my previous "Monthly Music" posts here.
