Taeyang - Wake Me Up
Taeyang is back with another solo album after three years with White Night. In true Taeyang fashion, one of the lead singles, "Wake Me Up," is romantic RnB song. The bright synths are the perfect pairing for Taeyang's powerful vocals. The MV and the song offer a dreamy vibe that we definitely don't want to wake up from.

Sunmi - Gashina
Sunmi is back as a solo artist... it's been three years since her last solo effort - Full Moon. This is her first release since Wonder Girls disbanded earlier this year. In Gashina, Sunmi still channels the sultry vibe from her previous tracks, but she also manages to balance being sexy with an adorable, playful personality.

Wanna One - Energetic
Wanna One hit the k-pop scene hard earlier this month. The group - formed from Produce 101 season 2 - made their debut with the EP, 1X1=1(TO BE ONE). It's one of the biggest debuts we've ever seen for a rookie group. And, as we write, Wanna One has already taken nine wins on music shows for lead single, "Energetic." And we can see why... the song and the music video are exactly that - full of pure, K-pop energy.

Loco - Summer Go Loco (Feat. Gray)
Summer is winding down, but there's still time to add to your summer playlist. And Loco's just come out with another slow, hip hop beat - "Summer Go Loco" featuring Gray. Loco and Gray make up one of our favorite collab pairings. And it's looks like they always have a good time together. The MV follows Loco and Gray have fun on four wheelers, hanging on a yacht, and playing with sparklers in a tropical location. The perfect vacation! And a great track for the season.

Hoody - Hangang
A song that starts with a slow jam version of "I need a Cha Cha beat boy," can't be anything but good summer jam.
Warm and optimistic, Hoody’s newest single, "Hangang," is the perfect track to close the summer. Produced with AOMG labelmate, Cha Cha Malone, this is Hoody’s first solo release since her December album, On&On. The song is an easy listen, layering Hoody’s honey sweet vocals over a smooth RnB beat. The accompanying MV matches the lyrics perfectly and is worth checking out at least for Hoody’s cute 90’s-esque outfit. We can’t help but bop to this song!
