So I thought I'd dive straight into the whole "2016 in review" kind of thing! And before I start; these are just my opinions okay? If y'all start being rude about me not including your favourites or putting them in the wrong order... Don't. We all have different opinions and these are mine. There's about 5 more albums I wanted to include, but... no. Shout out to 24K's album The Real One which literally was 10,5 on the list. Literally. And oh, special shout out to SF9's single album Feeling Sensation. It just contained three songs but it was still insanely good. It didn't really feel right putting it on the list, but... yes. It's really good. Also, these 10 albums are my favourites from this year and hell yes I'm biased. No, okay I'm not. I've tried to just be really unbiased and one of the albums I thought would end up being number two actually ended up being number 8...  I've just kinda thought about what albums I've listened the most to. So yah. Also, I'll be making a special one for k hip hop if anyone wonders why Yoongi's mixtape didn't make the cut... Anyways, let's go into it! (Ps! Click on the little heart next to a song to be taken to youtube)

10: Block B : BASTARZ - WELCOME 2 BASTARZ 

(Released October 31st)

I freaking adore BASTARZ. My bias in Block B happens to be one of three in BASTARZ, and I fell in love with their music the first time I heard Zero for Conduct. That song had such a hard hip-hop vibe that I was floored immediately and when they announced this album I was so hyped. The first song they teased was Selfish and Beautiful Girl and it was so different from Zero For Conduct. I was a bit disappointed at first, but then I saw the video and the song grew on me. The album was only released 1,5 months ago but it's already on my top 10 list of the best albums this year, so surely that has to mean something. I love the tongue in cheek lyrics, the beats, the vocals... Make It Rain is such a good song that I can't believe it didn't get more people into BASTARZ. Make It Rain should've won every single time it was up on a music show. That's how good it is. Honestly, just go listen to it now. I live for the kind of dirty lyrics and P.O's deep voice, mixed with U-Kwon and B-Bomb's outstanding vocals. That's Right is so soulful and I bloody love Tightly?? It's so sensual. 

Best Songs: MAKE IT RAIN!!!!!!! Oh, and Selfish and Beautiful Girl. ♡ ♡

9: Mamamoo - Melting

(Released February 26th)

My queens!! My freaking queens. I live for Mamamoo, honestly. They were the first girl group I stanned and they pulled me in with their insane vocals, fun songs and hilarious personalities. They're recently put out a new album but I've been a bad fan and not listened to it very much. I'm still sat here with Melting on repeat. This album is absolutely insane. It starts off with the hilarious Taller Than You (1 cm) - google the lyrics, it's basically where the members roast each other - and after that it's just jam-packed with insane songs. From beautiful ballads like Words Don't Come Easy, to the brilliant uptempo track that is You're the Best, to the kinda odd Funky Boy.... They deliver vocals that will blow your mind. It's such a great album and I'm so in love with ut. I could go on forever and ever about their vocals and their raps but I won't. That's what twitter is for. 

Best songs: Taller Than You (1 cm) ♡,  You're The Best ♡, Funky Boy ♡

8: Seventeen - Love & Letter Repackage Album 

(Released July 4th) 

Okay, I love Seventeen. I love this album. A lot. Everything these thirteen boys touch seem to turn into something brilliant. I'm a very big performance unit stan (but my bias... is in hip hop unit) and whenever they get some time to shine, you know I'mma be all over that. Love & Letter was released on April 25th, and it's an amazing album but I had to include the repackage here since Seventeen blessed us with 5 incredible songs. On Love & Letter, I was obsessed with Chuck. I loved the weirdness of it? The "What the funk yo" part? Sign me the f up. Also, Still Lonely is so damn good, I'm still not over it. There's both uptempo tracks and ballads on the album, with Love Letter being the best ballad until the repackage dropped and Woozi blessed everyone with Simple. (I'm sorry but HONESTLY. Listen ti Simple and tell me it's not one of the best ballads to come out this year?) Also, Very Nice was a really good comeback and I was so ecstatic to finally get a studio version of No F.U.N. 

Best Songs: Healing ♡, Chuck ♡, Very Nice ♡

7: NCT 127- NCT #127 THE FIRST MINI ALBUM

(Released July 10th)

I told myself I wouldn't get into NCT, but when I heard their first sub-unit's first song (7th Sense by NCT U) I was floored and then I heard Fire Truck by NCT 127 and I knew I was screwed. I bought the album after only listening to it twice and that says a lot. Normally I tend not to by albums until I 100% stan the group, but there I was ordering NCT 127's album after listening to it twice and not even knowing their names yet. All I knew was that album was hella good. The album has 7 songs, since it's a mini album, and it's both uptempo tracks like Fire Truck, to heavily rap-focused songs like Mad City, to ballads like Paradise. Honestly, the entire album is just amazing. There's not a single song on there that I don't love and I'm so excited to see what NCT has to offer in the future. 

Best Songs: Mad City ♡, Wake Up ♡, Another World ♡

6: GOT7 -  Flight Log: Turbulence

(Released September 27th)

Okay, if you know me this is a very big surprise. I was a mess when this album came out - no lie. I listened to it and only it for about a week. Breathed this album. I was shook. And I freaking LOVE it. I really do. But, it's not the best album I've heard this year. I feel awful even putting it this low, the IGOT7 in me is kicking and screaming. Originally, I placed this on #8. Then I told myself to get a grip and it ended up being #6. It has 13 songs, and all 13 songs are true bops. I'm so proud of my boys for working on almost every single song on the album, and I'm especially happy that Jackson finally got his songs on an album. He's so great. Hard Carry killed me the second I heard it, honestly it's SO good. It's not my favourite on the album though. Flight Log: Turbulence has so much to offer. From EDM inspired Hard Carry to tongue in cheek Boom x3, from the very sensual Prove It to fun Who's That and My Home, from rap-centric No Jam to the beautiful ballad that is Sick. Honestly, even if you're not a GOT7 stan, give this album a chance. They show so much musical diversity and I love them for that.

Best Songs: Mayday!!!! ♡, Dreamin' ♡, No Jam ♡

5: Monsta X - The Clan Part 2: Guilty 

(Released October 4th)

I love Monsta X very very much and I'd probably do anything for them to finally get their first win. They deserve it SO much and I could talk about that forever but this is not the time nor place. They dropped two mini albums this year, as part of their The Clan concept. This is the second part, and it has 6 songs. The title song is Fighter, a strong song with a lot of strong vocals and rap parts. Fighter is honestly one hell of a good track, and in comparison to other singles from my other ult groups, I very much prefer Fighter over many of them. There's also the EDM influenced Be Quiet, a true dance track, and ballads such as White Love where every single member - even the rapper line - gets a chance to show off their vocals. Since y'all probably know who I bias (Wonho) I am over the moon that my man's getting more lines in this album. What I'm not over the moon about, however, is the lack of lines Hyungwon is getting. But, not the time nor place. 

Best Songs: White Love ♡, Fighter ♡, Blind ♡

4: SEVENTEEN - Going Seventeen

(Released December 5th)

Okay, yes this was released a week ago. BUT IT'S SO GOOD. Honestly, this album. Amazing. BOOMBOOM is a really good title track, and I feel like Seventeen's vocals have improved SO much. The album has 8 songs with three team songs; Highlight (Performance Team),  Lean On Me (Hip Hop Team) and Don't Listen in Secret (Vocal Team). Beautiful and I Don't Know are both mixed unit songs, while Smile Flower, Fast Pace and BOOMBOOM are all of the boys. There's beautiful ballads and uptempo tracks and I think what surprised me the most was the hip hop team's song, Lean On Me. It's slow paced but their vocals are absolutely insane. I love the way they rap slowly and their voices are strong and it just really works. I need to give a shout out to Fast Pace, because there's some high notes in there that blow my mind! DK, you've outdone yourself boy. Smile Flower or Flower Smile, is absolutely breathtaking. Honestly. Everyone sings, and their vocals are just stunning. I can't believe that we got to hear the entire hip hop unit sing and that they all have vocals that can make me weep. I think this album is one of the best ones that Seventeen has released and I love them so much. They're all so talented, in writing, producing and composing their own music. Listen to this album, please. You won't be disappointed. Oh, and by the way. Highlight is the best song on this album hands down. Hoshi is a goddamn genius and I love that song more than anything right now.

Best Songs: Highlight ♡, Smile Flower ♡, BOOMBOOM ♡

3: Monsta X - The Clan Pt 1: Lost

(Released May 18th)

Yes, I love The Clan Pt. 1 more than Pt. 2. Okay? I could listen to All In for days without getting tired of it? And don't get me started on Ex Girl. It features Wheein from Mamamoo and honestly?? What a masterpiece. It's so beautiful and I love "ballads" that have strong rap parts and since it's Monsta X, it obviously does. Jooheon kills me in the beginning when he says "my little princess" but yes. Amazing song. And from that, it just gets better. Stuck is another masterpiece, a strong song with EDM vibes and a beat that gets stuck in your head for days. Sweetheart is an adorable ballad where Monsta X really do get to showcase their vocals. Unfair Love is another uptempo song that really gets stuck in your head. The na-na-na-na bit? Yeah, it's been stuck in my head for days and I'm not even angry about it. Because of U is a kinda weird song but it's so catchy?? It's not uptempo but not a ballad? The beat is very strange but they make it work. I've listened to this album more than what is probably normal and while it's not my favourite Monsta X album (sorry, Rush holds that spot lol) it's absolutely incredible and I wish more people would appreciate Monsta X and their talent.

Best Songs: All In ♡, Ex Girl (ft. Wheein of Mamamoo) ♡, Stuck ♡

2: GOT7 - Flight Log: Departure

(Released March 21st)



I love this album so much. So much that I own 5 physical copies of it. Yes, that much. If there's one album I can say I've played on repeat at least thrice a week, it's this one. Sometimes it's even been on repeat once a day. I've definitely listened to it once a day, that's for sure. I was a GOT7 stan before this album came out, but this was the first comeback I experienced as an IGOT7 and it kind of killed me and dragged me into the hell that is stanning GOT7. I bloody love it though. As soon as I heard Fly, I was sold. I knew it would be one of the best songs I'd hear this year. Then I started listening through the album. I heard Can't and didn't know whether to smile or weep, then I heard See the Light and I was floored by the melody?? the vocals?? the rap??. After that came Fish and I've never laughed as much as I did the second I heard "Welcome to the fishtank!". Honestly Im Jaebum, what the hell went through your mind when you wrote this?? (Low-key, I'm the #1 Fish stan. I love this song so much even if it's ridiculous) Then, Rewind. Oh dear God Rewind. Youngjae, you genius and wonderful man. Rewind is 100% one of the best songs GOT7 has ever made. The vocals. The melody. The rap. The lyrics. Everything about this song just works. Fun fact: one of my 20 most played songs of the entire year. (I blame it all on Jinyoung's verse. I mean.) Beggin On My Knees is another one of my all time faves from GOT7. It's fun, it's catchy, it's easy to listen to and dear GOD does it get stuck in my head. Something Good oh my god, y e s. I love everything about this song and it's one of the songs I sometimes forget is on the album but then I listen to it and I love it. Yugyeom's voice is so good in this song and it works so well with this beat. Also, Home Run?? Another bop, one of their best ever. It's cheesy and it's such a fun track. I love it so much. 

Best Songs: Can't ♡, Rewind ♡, See The Light ♡

1: BTS - Wings

(Released October 10th)

(warning. this will be a long ass description. Sorry. I really tried shortening it down but eh...)

Yes, my kings. Honestly, they are my kings. My absolute favourite group ever. I can very well be critic of the things they do, but this album is a fricking masterpiece. Let me break it down. From the intro that is Boy Meets Evil, we're immediately transported into the world of BTS. J-Hope drags us into their universe with his insane rap and vocals, before we're thrown into Blood Sweat and Tears. This song. THIS GOD DAMN SONG. Sometimes I think BTS are out to kill me, and this song was a damn good try. Everyone's vocals are absolutely mindblowing. The high notes? The falsetto? J-Hope's chorus?? The rap parts? Yes, sign me the f up. I'm down. After Blood Sweat and Tears, it's Jungkook's time to shine. Ah Golden maknae, what can't you do? Literally, is there something you're not capable of? Jungkook's voice here is so goddamn stunning and if you read the lyrics it will 100% bring you to tears. He cares so much about the people around him and he's just a beautiful human. The song starts off as a ballad but the chorus has this weird dance beat, but it's SO good. This song grows on me every time I hear it, just like Lie does. Jimin's solo is probably one of my favourite solo songs. It's such a powerful song and his voice is insane? I mean, we already knew that didn't we? But this song... Holy hell. The chorus always blows my mind, no matter how many times I hear the song. After Jimin's solo, it's my boy's time to shine. Mr. Kim Taehyung, with the deep and soulful voice. I was actually not hooked the first time I heard Stigma, but when he took the high notes.... I was ready to burst into tears. I had goosebumps and it was because he did THAT. After Tae's solo, it's Suga's time to shine and boy does he shine. First Love is my favourite solo on the album, because there's something about Yoongi's voice that just calms me down as well as triggers these feelings inside of me. I can't explain it but his voice is so powerful and so capable of just filling people with emotion. His voice is so raw and the emotions are just spilling all over. I love this song so insanely much. After Suga, it's Rap Monster's turn. Reflection was the first one on the album that actually brought me to tears. Since my korean is very shaky and kinda minimal, I looked up the lyrics the second time I listened to it. He sings a fair bit of the song in English and when I read the rest of the lyrics, I just burst into tears. I'm sure we've all hated ourselves sometimes, and felt like we're all alone in the world. This song made me remember all the times I've felt like that, and I'm so glad that Namjoon wrote this song. I listen to it whenever I do feel alone and I feel less alone, because in some twisted way I know that I always have BTS. Namjoon is so wise and he writes the deepest lyrics, and this song never fails to make me cry but it also makes me feel less anxious. But honestly, most times I hear it I just want to find Kim Namjoon and give him a hug. Time for a mood change, and who else but J-Hope can deliver that! Oh Jung Hoseok, how boring life would be without you. MAMA is such a killer track. I just want to dance when I hear it and I can't dance at all??? It has some amazing beats in it and J-Hope's voice works so well with the melody and the beat. He both raps and sings and I'm like?? What can't this amazing guy do. Ah Seokjin, finally. As a BTS stan, I wish everyone would love and appreciate Kim Seokjin a little bit more. His voice especially. It's so stunning. Can you believe there are people who say he can't sing? Whenever I see someone say that, I just want to send them a link to Awake and make them listen to it. I listen to this when my anxiety gets the best of me, and it feels a little easier to breathe. I also listen to this when I can't fall asleep. It calms my soul, that's what Jin's voice does. The Cypher's have been everyone's favourite songs for so long, and I've been wondering when Vocal Line would get their song. And now, finally! They decided to bless us all with Lost and I'm so so so so glad they did. It's such a wonderful song. Their voices blend so well and the melody and the beat is amazing. After Lost.... it's Cypher Pt 4. As an avid fan of the Cypher's (who isn't?), I was a little disappointed at first. My fave Cypher is Pt 2, and this was so different. But after three listens, I was hooked. It's so in your face, the whole "sorry bae" thing made me laugh and I freaking love the cockiness and how strong the lyrics are. Rapper line really killed it, again. When I have a bad day, I listen to this and I just... get so hyped up. Am I Wrong is sampled from a song by Keb Mo, an american blues singer. It's so catchy and the beat is so amazing. It's one of my favourite BTS songs ever, and it's just something about it that makes it stand out so much. Vocals and rap on point as always. 21st Century Girl is by far my favourite on the album. Yes. I love it so much. Honestly. I can't even put it into words. It makes me so happy??? The lyrics are amazing?? Empowering women?? AMAZING. This song is just the best, 10/10 would recommend it. Would also recommend watching a live performance of it because the choreo is ridiculously cute. Two! Three! (Still Wishing There Will Be Better Days) is a song from BTS to Army and it's just the most beautiful song. The lyrics make me feel all fuzzy inside and I'm so blessed to stan such brilliant people as BTS. (Okay, so I'm very biased now but come on. Even FUSE put this album as the 8th best of the year. An American channel!) The album ends in a spectacular way, with Interlude: Wings. The track most likely to be played in a club? Yes. The best way to end an album? Yes. Do I want a longer version since this is just over 2 minutes? Yes. 100%. Rap is on point as are the vocals. One of my faves, ever. In conclusion: Best album of the year. Maybe of the least two years. Listen to it. Buy it. Live it.

Best songs: First Love ♡, 21st Century Girl ♡, Reflection ♡, Blood Sweat and Tears ♡, Lie ♡. (Y'all didn't think I'd really just pick 3 did you?)

okay, so I know the whole "age - work - name - hobbies" thing is completely irrelevant to y'all, right? It's literally not at all what you wanna know, right? Don't worry, I gotchu. If you, like me, are a kpop stan then this is most likely what you wanna know: ult groups, other groups I stan, how long I've been a fan and so on. I'll give you the lowdown. Oh, and I'm 25 so I'm old as hell when it comes to being a kpop stan (actual truth, I've been on kpop twitter for 1,5 years I know what's up).

• How long have I been into kpop? 2 years this december. Time flies when you throw yourself into a mad world. (No regrets)

• Ult groups? Oh boy. BTS (as if you didn't figure that out already), GOT7, Monsta X, Seventeen and Block B. Okay and EXO. I could go on for days. But I will not. 

• Other groups I stan? Haaaaa. Okay. 24K, SF9, Topp Dogg, Mamamoo, AOA, NCT, Shinee, Teen Top, Sistar, Pentagon, IOI, WJSN, 2PM. Also BASTARZ, the block b subunit. Obviously.

• Groups I want to stan? BTOB!!! VIXX, BAP, KNK, B1A4, GFriend, Wonder Girls, Oh My Girl, History... A bunch! Recommend me some stuff to watch / listen to please! 

• Biases? How long have you got? No, really. I have three ults, Park Jinyoung (GOT7), Kim Taehyung (BTS) and Shin Hoseok (Monsta X) and that's all you need to know. (Here's my bias thread on twitter!)

• Most played song this year? According to spotify, Lotto by EXO. According to Lastfm, Mansae by Seventeen lmao (I had to sync Seventeen to spotify and they didn't put their albums on until like mid-year so my plays didn't count :( ) 

I don't know if any of you have ever had an issue with mental illness. 

I have. I'm still struggling and it's honestly hell. Some days when I wake up, I feel like nothing is impossible, like I can do anything. Most days are good days. But then, there's the bad days. Sometimes it'll start out like a good day, and then come the evening and the anxiety will slowly creep up on me. It can come slowly, or it can come crashing over me like a bloody wave. Lately, it's happened a lot when I've been at work which isn't ideal. I've figured out that it's due to my insane schedule (working 230 hours this month) and my full time studies, as well as moving to a new apartment and decorating it. It's been a bit much lately and I've not been myself. I've been isolating myself a lot, only seeing two of my friends and kind of neglecting the others. It's not right, but I can't help it. I don't want to go out, I don't wanna go to parties. I just want to stay at home and watch tv shows and be alone. But even so, I hate being alone. It's so weird. I like being alone most times, but 50% of the negative thoughts inside my head are about me being alone because no one likes me, and how no one ever will. While I know that it's not true, my brain has a terrifying way of convincing myself that it's the truth. 

Even if I choose to be alone and be by myself, sometimes that will lead to an anxiety attack and me crying for several hours because I feel so lonely. It makes no sense. I wish that I could change so much of what I feel, and I wish that I wouldn't sometimes burst into tears because I feel like my life is so empty and that I am so alone. A lot of my friends have partners, or they're talking to someone that they like... And then there's me, who's not really got anything going on in the romantic department. And you know, most days I'm 100% fine with that. I don't need anyones attention or validation to feel happy and to be content with myself. I am my own hype squad - literally. But, it honestly sucks feeling like you will never meet someone. I don't know why I feel like this and it's so dumb. And this is coming from a girl who only wants to spend time in her apartment and be alone. 

Mental illness isn't something I've discussed before and it's not something I happily open up about. But it's tearing me apart. I've been doing a lot of night shifts at work lately, and then always end with me crying. And most times I don't even know why I'm crying, I just feel like the world is crashing around me. Most days, I struggle to feel excitement. The only thing I really feel excited about, is my trip in November. I get to travel the world for 7 weeks and I couldn't be more excited. I'm not sure if it's because I get to leave this town or if it's because I get to see new parts of the world, but I'm excited. I can't wait to just get away. I already know those 7 weeks will be the best seven weeks of this year. I know I'll be happy. Maybe not every minute of every day, but for the majority of the time I'll be happy. I get to do what I love, far away from the people who bring me down. 

I got a panic attack two weeks ago, and before that I hadn't gotten one for about three months. And I was doing really well, and I felt so happy. But then, boom. It happened at work and I collapsed. I felt like I couldn't breathe. I reached out to a few friends, and felt like I was being ignored. When you're going through hell, it can literally be a lifesaver to feel like you've got support. Which I didn't really feel. My best friend always has my back and no one knows more about my mental illness than she does, and I'm blessed that she always knows how to handle me at my worst. I don't really tell a lot of people about my mental illness because I feel like I get judged. And I shouldn't have to feel that way at all, I shouldn't be ashamed of myself. So many people struggle with it, so I know I'm not alone. I was severely depressed as a teenager and it got very bad. My depression still shows up, like an old friend you'd rather have left in high school.. But it keeps coming back. But right now, the anxiety and the panic attacks are the worst. And I feel like it's expected of me to constantly be happy, to be cheerful and to smile and be cocky. But sometimes, life ain't that good. I can't always be smiling, I ain't got that in me. Sometimes it has to be okay to cry and to be really goddamn sad. The thing is, people always talk about how if you're happy and cheerful then people will be "attracted" to you and want to talk and stuff. And sure, it makes sense. People are normally more attracted to outgoing and cheery people, but no one is like that all the time? 

I know I have to work on myself, and work on my mental health. It sounds worse than it is, I suppose. It just means that I have to work on doing things that make me happy, and do things for me. So often I find myself doing what other people want me to do, and doing things that's expected from society. I forget who I am and what I want. I have to be better at doing what's best for me and doing what I feel like. If I want to stay at home and watch kpop videos, rather than going to a party at a friends house, shouldn't that be okay? We're expected to constantly be social and to hang out with people, but sometimes it's so nice to just be by yourself. Spending time with yourself is just as important as spending time with other people. You gotta get to know you - before you get to know someone else. I feel like I'm just rambling, but I need to get these thoughts outta my head. This coming week I'm making some changes to my life. I'm going back to the gym, getting back into shape again. Exercise used to make me really happy and it made my demons disappear for a bit, and I'm hoping it'll work this time around too. I'm also getting rid of some people from my life. Yeah, okay that sounds awful but sometimes we need to cut people off. Whether it's blocking them on social media, deleting their number or actually telling them that this ain't working anymore, it's good. You should never ever settle with having people in your life who brings you down and steals your energy. My mum always tells me that bad friends are energy thieves, because they just steal your energy and never boosts it. Which is so true. I tend to always feel drained after interacting with some of my less good friends, and like I give a lot but get so little back. And that's not an okay way to feel. If you feel that way about any type of relationship - be it friendship or a romantic relationship, act on it. Do something - it's never okay to feel like you're the one person keeping the relationship alive. 

Anyways, this has turned into a really messy post and what I originally wanted to say was just that... I have anxiety. And panic attacks. And sometimes my depression comes back to haunt me. And that's okay. I'm not ashamed of it, and I won't try to be something I'm not. It's a part of me and even if it's not my favourite part of myself, I just gotta learn to live with it.

Hello friends!

I have returned, finally.

It's been hella long, hasn't it? I'm sure all of you have missed my non-interesting posts about random stuff. I've been working non stop for two months while studying full time, so it's been a bit hellish if I'm honest. But now I'm not working as much, got a break before summer hits and I'm back to full time until September, so I figured why not get back to blogging. Honestly though, having a blog is a full time job? I wish I could find the time to take nice outfit pictures, organize nice posts about clothes and makeup but recently I've not had the time to do so! Hopefully now I will though.

I miss getting stuff off my chest and pouring out my thoughts into a blogpost, whether it's about something really deep or just about some clothes I want.

I'm gonna try and get some posts up this week. About my love for kpop and the absolutely amazing bands I've found out about, and how I feel that I've gotten both happier and more confident thanks to said music genre. I'm also gonna blog about all my clothes and beauty wants right now, and be warned, there's a lot. I'll also keep you updated about my plans for the year and where I'll be traveling this year... I can't wait to go exploring and see different parts of the world.

I'm actually currently at work, I'm working a night shift so I've got about 2,5 hours before I get to go home. Honestly, I can't wait. I'm insanely tired!  Red Bull + coffee = my best pals right now. I got some more tattoos recently by the way. One on my ribs, and another one on my shoulder. The shoulder one took over 10 hours in total, because my tattoo artist is insanely focused and wants every single line to be perfect. He's definitely a perfectionist. It's not fully healed yet, but here's a recent pic of it anyways. Take care pals, see u soon x

I am in love. Not with a person, but with a song. An absolutely mindblowingly beautiful song. And it's a cover. The original is made by Troye Sivan and it's stunning, but it never really made me feel anything. I thought it was a beautiful song but I never really loved it. Then, I stumbled across a cover of it and fell. Hard. The cover is made by two Korean singers from the band BTS and honestly, their cover blew me away. They uploaded it to their Soundcloud and I was stunned. Their first language is Korean, and not English, yet the English is so flawless in the cover. They've put so much effort into the song and it's absolutely beautiful. I am just in awe of how great they are. Jungkook and Rap Monster both have incredible vocals and this is just a really really great cover. Please listen to it and tell me what you think!



Y'all know I'm a massive musiclover, and I absolutely l o v e finding new music. Recently, I've gotten more and more into kpop and I'm gonna write a blog post about that some day. I just thought I'd show you what's spinning around in my headphones these days. 9 tracks, all very very different.

(ps! click the x after the title to get to the youtube video and to hear the track!)

BTS - Run // x

I listen to this song every single day. BTS are a Korean group that I have spent about 3 weeks listening to on repeat. I'm not even kidding. I just love their music so much. They're great dancers and singers and their music videos are amazing. But more on that in another post... This song is absolutely amazing. Just check it out, even if you're not into kpop. It's so good.

Young Rising Sons - Fucked Up // x

This song is SO good. A girl I follow on twitter got me into these guys and I absolutely adore their music. This song makes me happy and it's a proper amazing pop tune. It's got some great vocals and the music is just really great. I've told literally all my friends about this song. Look it up!

EXO - Lightsaber // x

Yep, it's actually called Lightsaber. It's also Korean and fucking AMAZING. Exo are an absolutely amazing group of guys who can do no wrong in my eyes. Lightsaber is a collaboration with Star Wars (obviously) and it's such a great song. The video is only about 2 minutes, but the song is 4. If you like the video, look it up on spotify!

MAX - Wrong // x

I love Max. I've loved him since I saw his covers on youtube and I was so happy when he was signed by DCD2 Records (which is owned by Pete Wentz from Fall Out Boy). Max Schneider has such an incredible voice and I listened to his song Gibberish all summer long. Wrong is a killer track and please check it out and support this incredible guy!

The Maine - As Long As You Love Me // x

The Maine is honestly one of my all time favourite pop-punk bands. They have such amazing lyrics and they are just the best. However, this song is a cover! Yes! It's a Backstreet Boys song and the Maine has made it into their own. It's different from the original and it's got such a chilled out vibe. I love it!

G-Eazy - Me, Myself & I // x

Honestly, who doesn't love this song? It's incredible. That's all I'm gonna say. You've probably already heard it.

Panic! At The Disco - Emperor's New Clothes // x

Honestly I haven't listened to Panic! At the Disco in so many years, but then I happened to hear this song and was like... whoa. This is so good. I love Brendon's voice and this song has got some killer music in it.

Hailee Steinfeld - You're Such A // x

This is just a really good pop song. It's so catchy and I love Hailee's voice and the lyrics are fun. It's just a great song!

Troye Sivan - Fools // x

I was a bit late to the Troye hype and I do enjoy his album, but this is probably the only song I listen to on a weekly basis. A band I love has made a cover of this which was absolutely astonishing, but Troye's original will always be the best.
