Monthly Underrated K-Pop New Music Releases - Second Half of October

The second half of October (15-28) brought us many emotional ballad tracks for the fall season.

Power vocalist Dia released a new single “Be Modern” with girl group Kiss & Cry, who she will be debuting with early next year. Members consist of Bo Hye (Miu of Bella), So Yumi (from disbanded idol group VNT), and Hae Na. The four ladies showcase their strong vocals with Shorry J of Mighty Mouth. Korean-American singer Paul Kim features in 2LSON’s newest single “Slow Jam.” The song is pretty straightforward, a slow R&B track with Paul Kim’s charming vocals.

Duo D-Day releases their first mini album. Compared to their last single in August, the title track “보이나요” (translates to “Can You See?”) is an emotional ballad that is able to bring out their sweet voices. Male group M-Note debuts with their first single “사랑해선 안될 몇가지” (translates to “A Few Things You Shouldn’t Love”). The title track has a perfect blend of harmony, and the powerful soul-oriented music flows throughout. Although the group just debuted, members LK, Mogun, and Doy were previous members of R&B group Attain.

With an electronica, acoustic sound, Rotiful releases their first single “So Bad.” The soul-pop team consists of drummer and producer J-tea, guitarist Jae Won and vocalist Mini. Vocalist Mini has had many great vocal coaches from MBC’s “Birth of a Great Star” MC Sniper, Illinit, Leo, Shirosky, Chwi Rap, and Deegie who she has also featured with.
