Wrapping up the month of February are some hot releases that tug on heartstrings, help channel our inner rebel, and time travel back to an iconic decade. The week’s charts end the month with an exciting blend of ballad, electronic, and jazz that adds a nice spin on genres trending on music charts.

SIX SAUCY SEÑORITAS

The ladies of (G)I-DLE express their wild sides with “Señorita” released on February 26 off of their second EP I Made. In this Latin and jazz inspired track, the members are up to no good when they create a path of chaos with every touch. Despite their hazardous auras, these devilish girls are seeking a man who they can call señor and handle their fiery hearts burning with passion. Climbing music charts like Bugs! for the number one spot, (G)I-DLE makes it clear that they won’t settle for less with their intense love.

TURNING BACK TIME

Kang Minkyung pours her heart out with “Because I Love You” released on February 27, from her first album Kang Min Kyung Vol. 1. As one half of the popular duo, DAVICHI, the singer finally shines with her solo debut with a heartfelt ballad featuring the regrets of separated hearts. Her heart, heavy with nostalgia, yearns to turn back time to treasure her past lover just one last time before their dreaded breakup and coping with her bitter present. Topping charts like Naver, Mnet, and Genie, Kang Minkyung tugs at listeners’ heartstrings with an honest ballad sharing her conflicted emotions for an undying love.

BACK TO THE CLASSICS

KYT (also known as KOYOTE) kicks it back to the ‘90s with “Fact” released on February 8 as part of their 20th anniversary album, REborn. The co-ed trio pays homage to their debut in 1998 with a fresh, yet nostalgic, track that is reminiscent of the decade’s trending music. In contrast to the heartfelt lyrics about the complications of love, the retro beat featuring energetic house music and retro synths has listeners dancing away their worries. Climbing up charts like Soribada at number 15 after their recent Knowing Bros appearance, KYT transports us back to the best of the ‘90s.
