[MUSIC ROUNDUP] MONSTA X, ATEEZ + GOT7

Featuring brief commentary on the latest comebacks for ATEEZ, MONSTA X and GOT7.



GOT7's latest title track is You Calling My Name and wow I was not expecting such smooth operator sexiness in the choreography. The song also has a bit of a Charlie Puth touch. I haven't seen this kind of mature suaveness since If You Do (that was one of my favourite title tracks when it came to serious GOT7 but I enjoy fun GOT7 as well. Hello, Just Right!). I love the opening part of the routine with everyone on the floor in a circle with JB in the middle like he is the hand of a clock.



The performance video highlights all the moves so Ahgases can enjoy the choreography in full glory.



MONSTA X have had some massive up and downs with Wonho leaving the group but the group managed to snag two wins on music shows with Follow. It was a definite grower with very catchy party beats. The video is a visual feast and it seems Minhyuk and Hyungwon got more lines this time which is great. Follow is as the title suggests. It's all about missing each other by seconds and then trying to follow the other person so they can meet up again properly.



Follow relay dance with OT7. Always a joy to see these relay dances.



Side note - Find You is so achingly fitting with their current situation and seeing one member missing on the music stages is painful (and I'm also upset if not a little regretful I decided to not go to the group's Wembley Arena concert last July due to the ticket drama with the organisers). Hope every single member of MONSTA X is doing ok.

ATEEZ make their Japanese debut with the Japanese version of Utopia from their 3rd EP and it works out very nicely. The MV is simple with the group dancing in different coloured scenarios and showcasing their cool dance moves. I think it's a great introduction to the Japanese market.
