MONTHLY MIXTAPE: OCTOBER 2024
BY BRENESSA ROACH | OCTOBER 31, 2024
Happy Halloween and happy end of October! This month, there were so many songs we loved and had on repeat. We originally had over 30 songs, but narrowed it down to our top 14 songs of the month. We will share each song in order from most played to least played (but still obviously made it to the recap).
Let’s get started!
Release Date: October 4, 2024
WOOSUNG’s album 4444 released on October 4th and it is a no-skip album for us. We love every single song, but “Found You” was one that we had on repeat all throughout this month. It’s a slower song and really showcases WOOSUNG’s beautiful voice and emotional lyrics.
Release Date: September 21, 2024
We are fans of Wonstein and this song is so beautiful. “Leave it all behind” is an original television soundtrack for the Korean drama Love Next Door. We listened to this song so much this month and we are currently watching the K-Drama as well.
Release Date: September 20, 2024
Haiden Henderson is someone we started listening to at the end of August after discovering him through MICO. We honestly wish we knew Haiden before, but now we are a fan (and will be seeing him in Toronto in November). “sweat” is such a fun, energetic song and Haiden’s vocals really fit this genre of music.
Release Date: September 20, 2024
We have been fans of Junwav’s since his debut and with each song, his discography just keeps getting better. Absolutely love the vibes of “Soldier On” and it was constantly stuck in our head throughout the month of October. The lyrics and also the cover art are also so beautiful. We cannot wait for Junwav to release more music.
Release Date: September 30, 2024
VANNER is a K-Pop group we actually started listening to this month with the release of their EP *BURN.* We really enjoyed “Blossom” the most from the EP and definitely are excited to hear more of VANNER’s future releases now that we know about them.
Release Date: September 23, 2024
“Novacaine” is our favourite song on KEY’s latest EP *Pleasure Shop.* This song is an indie-pop English song with a nostalgic feel to it. There is a lot of drum and bass too which we love! The lyrics and structure of the song are perfect to us.
Release Date: October 4, 2024
This collaboration is something we did not know we needed, but we needed it. Regina Song and hongjoin’s style and vocals mesh so well together, especially for this song. “i don’t rly care bout u!” is a fun alternative-rock style song. It kind of reminds us of the songs we grew up listening to in the early 2000s which instantly made us love this song even more.
Release Date: October 4, 2024
Chelsea Cara is an artist we started listening to around September and we absolutely love her style of music and her voice. “back then” is such a catchy and fun, dark pop style song. Chelsea has this dark, but light vocal style which makes this song complete. The chorus is so catchy and was constantly stuck in our head since the song’s release.
Release Date: October 3, 2024
YUTA is a member from NCT – the K Pop group. As a soloist, YUTA’s style is so different from the music he makes in NCT and it was so refreshing to hear. “Goodbye” is a song on YUTA’s debut album Depth – which is a no-skip album. The whole album falls under the punk-rock genre with a bit of screaming/metal. “Goodbye” was the song we had on repeat the most. It is a J-Rock song and that is just a genre we really love.
Release Date: September 13, 2024
LAYYI is an artist we have been listening to since end of 2023 and her style is so diverse. She typically falls under the Pop and R&B genre, but this song “REGRETS” has an alternative-rock feel to it due to the electric guitar, drum and bass production. We really enjoyed this song so much. The production is catchy by itself and then you throw in LAYYI’s light, sweet voice with her lyricism and the song is literally perfect. We have had this song on repeat since September and all throughout October so, we had to include it.
Release Date: September 18, 2024
“Starfruit” is Nilo Blues latest song and it is so catchy! It’s definitely one of our new favourite songs from his discography. We had the opportunity to see him perform it live this month when he opened for Sylo and it was an incredible performance.
Release Date: October 3, 2024
We love Loco and “SEE YOU” is an amazing song!! The production is so fun and we love the way Loco sings in this style of song. The part where he sings “see you at the top” was constantly stuck in our head.
Release Date: September 20, 2024
“SAD SONG” is part of P1Harmony’s latest EP SAD SONG. It’s the title track and it is so catchy and youthful. It’s a Hip-Hop Latin inspired song and very easy to dance and vibe to.
Release Date: October 11, 2024
“Hold on to the light” is a new favourite song by Jimmy Brown. He is such an incredible singer and songwriter and this song just showcases his vocal style, range and lyricism. The cover art is also so pretty.
