K-YOS

WHOOPS, it's summer all of a sudden. The slow month of April, dotted with a couple vacations by the girls, rolled into the even slower month of May with some more time off in June. So, why not wrap everything up into one for Spring 2025? Artists discussed: NCT Wish, UNIS, &TEAM, Katseye, RIIZE, SHINee, Seventeen, UAU (Dreamcatcher), Enhypen, ARTMS, ILLIT, Cravity, fromis_9, aespa, and... Lorde?

Returning from the 2024 recap, Dani and Lotus are back to their regular schedule reviewing the k-pop tracks that caught their attention — one way or another — from the end of last year through February. Additionally, going forward they may mention non-k-pop artists they'd like to bring to your attention, although the podcast will continue to be k-pop focused!Artists mentioned: Twice, &TEAM, XLOV, ONF, Zerobaseone, Lisa (Blackpink), MUNA, and Paledusk.

It was a nice, normal October in the k-pop world, consisting of a steady stream of releases from many artists. We didn't feel strongly about the majority of them, but it was a good month! Artists mentioned: Yuta (NCT), Xdinary Heroes, ITZY, &TEAM, aespa, Seventeen, The Boyz, and StayC.

Well, it finally happened... There's no k-pop we want to talk about. July was a relatively standard month in k-pop, but we just weren't enthusiastic enough about what did release to fill a regular episode. Instead of skipping the month altogether, we decided to check in with the rest of the music world. Azalea joins us to talk about our favorite non-kpop songs of this year — so far! — as well as some other releases we wanted to discuss. Artists mentioned: Bring Me The Horizon, Alice Longyu Gao, 12th House Sun, Brittany Howard, Caroline Polachek, Camellia, Doechii, Charli xcx, flowerovlove, Dog Race, Chelsea Wolfe, The Last Dinner Party, Everything Everything, Flyana Boss, Rachel Chinouriri, Future Islands, Kali Uchis, RaiNao, Jamie xx, Maggie Rogers, øneheart, Vampire Weekend, Megan Thee Stallion, MGMT, TURQUOISEDEATH, Twenty One Pilots, Porter Robinson, and Zach Bryan.

2024 has arrived and, likewise, the k-pop machine begins to spin back up.

2023 has come and gone, meaning it's time for us to cover our favorite k-pop songs of the year! From the period of December 1st, 2022 to November 30th, 2023, we saw dozens upon dozens of amazing releases in and around the realm of k-pop, many of which we covered monthly on this very podcast. But now, it's time for only the best of the best. Dani, Lotus, and Azalea join up once more to share their ranked Top 25 lists and share an important announcement about the future of the podcast.
