Chk Chk Boom (#853)

Ahoy,

last week saw me listening to a bunch of new releases...

 

Scrobble count:  201.342

Last week in covers:

Most played artists:

• HGich.T : New album context. "Lenovobeach" starts interesting, because of unusual vocals. But the second half seems weaker. The title track is definitely a highlight for me.
  
• Gryffin : New album context. "PULSE" might give you tons of collaborations, but it lacks any highlights.
  
• ENHYPEN : New album context. "ROMANCE : UNTOLD" may have had its charts success, but I find it disappointing.
  

Most played tracks:

• ENHYPEN & Ava Max - Brought The Heat Back : Quite nice collab version of a catchy song.
• Stray Kids - Chk Chk Boom (Festival Ver.) : I really like this version, because of the heavy beats and the drops!
  

Noteworthy:

• SHOKI : Research context. She released a few new tracks on "Cumshot", but nothing worth noting right now.
• ENNIO : New release context. I've checked out his pre-singles for the upcoming album. But "Die Jungs" feels very downtempo.
• Alison Goldfrapp : New release context. The artist started a new label and produced a song with Richard X, that I would connect with Kylie Minogue. And thus it was no surprise for me to hear familiar sounds on her new single "I Wanna Be Loved (Just a Little Better)".
• Delta Goodrem : Yup, still that one good song - "Hearts On The Run".
  

News

█ The Killers came back for a new single. "Bright Lights" has retro vibes and reminds me of Arcade Fire a bit. The music video looks like a performance in Las Vegas. Speaking of Vegas - the band has now a residency in The Colosseum at Caesars Palace for a few weeks - to celebrate the 20th anniversary of their album "Hot Fuzz". (You know, that place, which they built for Céline Dion.)

█ Looks like Katy Perry's comeback does not get much attention, because also her second pre-single "LIFETIMES" has low numbers compared to other new releases.
