Kpop: Ladies Code - Galaxy (갤럭시)

The kpop community still remembers the horrible events in september 2014 that took the life of EunB and Rise of Ladies Code, and so it is a hard line to thread for the remaining trio when they finally do their comeback one and a half year later. Thankfully for everyone, the new song "Galaxy" very much hits the right tones perfectly and the word that comes to mind is "reflective". The song both works as a pop song but at the some time somehow respects what has happened without becoming speculative or (honestly) boring. I hope this means the remaining three of Ladies Code can begin moving on, I'm cheering them on at least.

Jpop/hip hop: Rip Slyme

The best songs of Rip Slyme has those interesting sounds and verbal twists that makes them almost quirky, but it is just that that lifts them beyond 'just' hip hop (not my cup of tea). The new Jump is just that, with singer Chay joinging them in this effort.
