Music Obsessions – June 2019

Its the first weekend of a new month and that means time for this month’s Music Obsessions! Its been a fun and colorful month to say the least. There was a lot of music that I discovered and some new artists that I’m following.

Hot Blood – KALEO

Its been a while since I’ve listened to Kaleo. I love their style a lot and it was when I went to Brasserie Elements (recap HERE) that I heard this song and it is really awesome. It was then that I introduced my husband to Kaleo (at least the songs that I had already known) and then we went on to look for some other songs as well to dive further into their work.

你，好不好? How Have You Been? – Eric Zhou 周興哲

While I’ve known of Eric Zhou for a while in the Chinese music industry, I haven’t really heard much from him however this song was picked as a performance vocal song list in Produce Camp 2019 so I went to listen to the original and have been absolutely in love with it. The lyrics and the tune itself is really good.

工筆 – Awaken-F

The newest song from Awaken-F is really good. It has that ancient Chinese music instruments sort of usage but also keeps it very soothing and energetic. I like this stuff every once in a while and to be honest, I can see this as part of some TV series set in ancient China soundtrack.

作為怪物 As A Monster- 李宇春 Chris Lee x 吳青峰 Qing Feng Wu

My favorite song and the most recent release in this batch of music obsession. This one has all the elements that I love. I had never listened to Chris Lee before but I’m definitely sold on her voice. Its really unique and matching with Qing Feng Wu’s voice, it works so well and they have similar styles in their music. Its more indie but this one is so fun and addictive.

Where Do You  Go – Shaun Frank (feat. Lexy Panterra)

It feels like a while since I’ve shared some electronic music but I like Shaun Frank’s music ever since I heard Heaven so I was intrigued right away. This one didn’t disappoint at all. I like the video and I like the energy of the song in general.

FIREMAN – Produce Camp 2019 Original Production Performance

And a little extra bit..since I don’t usually share anything from these variety competition show things except as little ending pieces. However, in their specialty performances which was separated in dance, vocal and original production categories, one of the two teams doing original production not only completed a completely original song but also managed to deliver a great performance called Fireman. Really talented! I like this song a ton.

That’s it for this Music Obsessions!

Music Obsessions [June 2016]

This month’s Music Obsessions definitely were quite a struggle to work out.  There’s been a lot of obsessions but I think these take the front mostly because I just love how fun it is to listen to.  They make me super happy.  Some nice beats and good lyrics and fun times! Not to mention, the YouTube videos are pretty awesome (and entertaining) for most of them also.

Are you ready? Let’s check it out! 🙂

Sweet Love (Calling Out  Your Name) – Bolier

This might be one of the more unexpected choices. Sweet Love grew on me day by day. Its been on my Favorites for a while and one day, I realized that I just started loving it and then played it every evening. The video is hilarious and a little bizarre, but still, absolutely entertaining.

Evolution of Sinatra – Citizen Shade

I raved about Citizen Shade’s talent in last month’s Music Obsessions. While I do enjoy Frank Sinatra, its not my go-to music frequently.  This medley of Frank Sinatra songs by Citizen Shade is all sorts of classy. I love it so much!

Electric Elephants-Jay Hardway

We’re picking back up the pace a little with Electric Elephants. It starts up with a really energetic beat and that’s what caught me to it. I’ve returned in the last few months back to electronic music and I realized that the way it starts is what determines whether it’ll keep me listening. Its probably the most hit and miss genre so props to the DJ/producers that make this work out. There’s been some awesome finds.

Underground Bakery- CastNowski

Also a new discovery for me since the last post or two, CastNowski have had some really strong music. I like the style quite a bit. Definitely someone to look out for!

Heaven [Live Session] – Shaun Frank & KSHMR (feat. Delaney Jane)

Are you ready for my current huge obsession? I don’t like to play favorites but this one just landed two days ago on YouTube for this live session of Heaven. Delaney Jane has such a beautiful voice and then Shaun Frank on piano. I like their original mix but this live session is so great! I’m totally in love with it! 🙂

That’s it for this Music Obsessions!
