Five Fresh Singles: Vibes, Vocals, And Evolution

MP3•Episode home

Five songs, five moods, and a whole lot of evolution. We cue up CORTIS, STARGLOW, Kento Nakajima, TAEMIN, and WONHO to unpack what’s changing in J‑Pop and K‑Pop right now—artist-led production, bolder concepts, tighter writing, and performances that live in your head long after the chorus fades.
We start with CORTIS and "GO!", a slow-rolling hip hop cut built for car speakers and late-night struts. The bass is punchy, attitude effortless, and the twist is in the credits: the members are hands-on with writing and visual direction. From there we leap to BMSG’s STARGLOW and "Moon Chaser", a piano‑sparked dance rush that surges and releases like a festival drop. The vocals soar, the arrangement begs for a remix, and the lyrics reach for sky and fandom in the same breath.
Kenty’s "IDOLIC" flips nostalgia on its head with a vaudeville‑tinged, jazz‑sprinkled production that contrasts perfectly with his sleek “2.0” persona. It’s a clever mirror trick: classic showmanship framing a modern, sexy, art‑driven image. Then TAEMIN’s "FINALE" brings the hush—silky, emotional, and quietly luminous. His voice threads melancholy with hope, the kind of ballad that makes time slow down and movement feel like meaning. We close with WONHO’s "Good Liar", all violin snap and side‑eye swagger, turning frustration into charisma with crisp delivery and a hook that won’t quit.
Across the set we talk craft, identity, and why evolution keeps pop exciting—whether it’s a debut group or a veteran artist. If you want bass that moves, choruses that lift, and stories that grow with each release, queue this one up.
