Music of my Life (at least, right now)

 Okay, I'm going to be honest here. I was kinda stuck on what to talk to that I haven't already discussed recently when I realized that three absolutely kicking songs were released recently and that I just had to talk about them on here. So please, stick with me for a few minutes while I rock your world with three new amazing songs. 

The oldest of the three was released on the 17th of July. Addict is a song for Hazbin Hotel, a delightful musical about Charlie, the princess of Hell, hoping to start a hotel where she can try to redeem souls. The show pulls no punches, and the video Addict goes even further into that, into the very checkered past of Angel Dust, a spider demon porn star denizen of Hell and the hotel's first demon recruit. I totally suggest you check it out. I can't stop listening to it!


Just over a month later, BTS released their newest single, Dynamite. This is a lot hoppier than the sort of songs I usually associate with BTS, but I've got to admit, I'm kinda digging it. It's catchy as hell and quickly rising into my current favorite list. It doesn't hit you as hard as Addict but I appreciate it all the more for the bubblegum, 80's pop sound. Also, while its never a requirement for me, I really did enjoy that so much of this song was done in English, so I didn't have to find a lyric video to try to learn the lyrics, which are always what I pay the most attention to in my music. If you haven't heard it, listen. 



The last song on this list came out just yesterday. I am always stupidly excited by Riots songs for League of Legends. Of all those, K/DA's Popstars remains my absolute favorite of the lot. So, imagine how stupidly excited I was when Riot started putting out new character designs for K/DA and suggesting that their newest EP would be dropping soon. Yesterday, we got about 2/3 of a lyric only video (or at least, it sounds unfinished to me) and I've heard a rumor that its because one of the new girls to the group drops a kickass chorus directly after this which we'll all get to hear when the full video is released. I can't guarantee that, but I can't wait to see if it does continue. Either way, the song, called The Baddest, absolutely rocks. I haven't wanted to stop listening to it since I first heard it. 



There have been other songs that I have been falling in love with too, of course. The new Black Pink song, How Do You Like That, and of course, the RWBY, Vol. 7 soundtrack are also top-notch, just not quite as amazing as these three songs for me. Tell me, which is your favorite? Have you heard any other new releases that you can't stop bopping to? Let me know in the comments or on FB! I'd love to hear what you're unable to turn off right now.
