Listen to the song above you V.3

[miito]

wow. okay. this collab. not feeling some of their hair, but that's avoidable.

i've never heard any of penomeco's songs before, but he did great in this collab
so i'll check him out. this does not disappoint. i really like the vibe of this song -
it's laid back and chill, but still groovy. and - dean. just. dean. his vocals. amazing.
these four together just have something to them. this is a relisten, for sure.

hyuk // boy with a star
(eng sub)

[hiero]

That was really nice! I thoroughly enjoyed it. Typically I am not really into vocalists in that genre but I really liked his voice, I guess maybe it was the quality of it but I can't really put a finger on exactly why I liked it so much. It's not the sort of music I listen to on the regular, but it was pleasant to listen to. The guitar that was kinda hidden in the back was I think what held everything together, without it it would have probably felt a bit empty so I think that was a good thing they added in there. Over all, a good song :thumbup:

Elsewhere - Young the Giant

[a small animal]

Heck this is taste. In the most chicken smoothie friendly way I felt like I had...ingested questionable things while listening to that. The slightly irregular beat in the first verse was just so nice, and the piano with it made it sound echoey and dark, it just reminded me of something recorded in an empty house on abandoned instruments, idk if that’s weird but that’s what it was like to me. Then the chorus came in and I just loved the high vocals and drums. That’s all there is to say. I just loved it. Will look into this band but by their accents I think they might be Icelandic or something? Lol Iceland have all the best music, it just gave me that sort of standing on a mountain feeling. It’s so chilled and yet so upbeat and has little weird quirks in it like when the singer does that squeak thing towards the end, that scared me a bit xd

Mercy Street - Opus Orange and Emy Reynolds

[kaplantai]

this song reminds me of a song that would play as someone
is driving in the rain in the back of a cab and looking
longingly out the window. i like it a lot, but it's more
of a one time listen for me.

breakup haircut - danny and alex {warning: there are some
cuss words in the lyrics}

[luca balsa]

You know, at first, I thought I wasn't going to like it very much, but as the song went, it grew on me more and more. This is definitely outside of my musical comfort zone, but it's a pretty groovy song. It makes me wanna swing back and forth and sing it to my cat. I appreciate the shape of the song, it's very smooth and curvy, but it's not quite my jam. I probably won't go out of my way to listen to this song again, but many thanks for the recommendation!

''Hooped Earrings" - The Front Bottoms

[oakfather preserve u]

i thought this song would be the heavy vocals yelling
type. boy was i wrong. umm, i can see how the lyrics
can be emotional but i couldn't really focus on it bc i
didn't like the song at all ): i really disliked his singing
style but it's an acquired taste i guess?

fancy - palaolto feat. dean & sway d

[Prince Apollyon]

alrighty, so. i had discovered kpop back in 2016 when my friend sent me the link to the BTS "Fire" music video, and was immediately hooked. Luckily for me, that was the same year that BTS released their Blood Sweat and Tears album, so my interest in them and kpop just took off, until a year later, i grew sick of that whole scene and completely stopped listening all together, turning to indie and bedroom pop instead. Now, three years later, I just discovered dean, and LOVE HIM SO MUCH, making me totally into kpop again.

ANYWAY,

of course, being a new but tried and true dean fanatic, im immediately drawn to this song knowing that my boy is singing in it. that said, i have not listened to it before, haha.
however, after listening to the song thoroughly, i think that its not necessarily dean's part that makes me love the song so much, but the rapping! Sway D has a really unique voice and style, and i love the overall (somewhat ethereal, yet still catchy) feel that he brings to the song.
Everything flows very nicely, this was a great pick! Thank you for sharing. c:

here's my recommendation: joji - slow dancing in the dark

[pristine]

I've heard a cover of this song before, but I hadn't listened to the original. I'm glad you recommended it though, it's a VERY pretty song. it's not quite the style of music I usually listen to, but I added it to my favourites and will probably be listening to it again!!

lavender blood - fox academy

[gently]

such a lovely song! i really like how the chorus has a different kind of flow to the rest of the song, i wasn't expecting it. a lot of songs in this genre kind of suffer by all sounding the same so i liked how this one changed it up a bit. love the singers voice too, it's so smooth. added it to my playlist and i'll definitely be listening to it again~

the village - wrabel

[guar]

listening as i type

first of all the piano + humming at the start, i'm weak for that stuff. their voice is absolutely stunning and right off the bat the message of the song is incredibly clear. although i cannot relate to the scenario, i can imagine that it must have helped many people struggling at the time of hearing the song.
the voice is impressive and the lyrics have meaning behind them which is important too. however, it probably wont be getting on my playlist.
