Now Playing: KAI – The First Mini Album

Kai (EP) - Wikipedia
KAI (self-titled), released by Kai on November 30, 2020

The incredibly talented (and unjustly attractive) singer and dancer Kim Jong-in, mononymously known as Kai, released his debut solo project just over a month ago, extending his work beyond active K-pop groups Exo and SuperM (both of which he’s also a current member). The self-titled mini album was prefaced by a visually stunning teaser FILM: KAI just mere days before it’s official release. Known for his enthralling dance skills and smooth voice, this literal Gucci model was able to really shine in his element with this R&B project masterpiece.

Rewind: Best Albums of 2020!

Happy (almost) New Year! I know I have been gone for like months, but I wanted to return on a good note and share some of the music and artists that have been getting me through this whole pandemic situation. I know, who thought I’d be using the word pandemic in an intro – but here we are. Anyway, there were a lot of changes in the world and in my life, and that also includes changes to my taste in music and exactly how I absorb content. I found myself not wanting to really relate to anything at the start of this, and as I turned to a lot of new music in foreign languages, it kind of took me back to a purely sonic approach to determining what sounds actually caught my attention (detached from the lyrics themselves). So, you may see some things here that are new, surprising, or even shocking – but isn’t that what 2020 was all about? These few selections are based purely on my perceptions and are in no particular order. Let’s get into it!

With that said, there is still a best album of the year –  so read on to find out who took the top spot!

Now Playing: Songs For You

Songs For You – Released November 21, 2019 by Tinashe

So there I was, meticulously putting together my end-of-year reviews: shows, songs, and albums included. I thought I had a long-standing, clear decision on my favorite release of 2019. I thought. Then tenacious triple-threat Tinashe said hold on 2019 imma put out the album of the year real fast and well, here we are. Wrapping up the decade with one of the most fulfilling, well-constructed, and engaging albums I’ve had the pleasure of listening to, and the honor could not be going to someone more persistent, hard-working, and deserving of the title. Here’s my review of her latest album Songs For You.
