Music Roulette: Five Songs That Will Make You Hit Repeat

After weeks of music news and concert recaps, we're finally dedicating an entire episode to what we love most—experiencing music together!
Takanori Nishikawa's "HEROES" kicks things off with powerhouse vocals and orchestral rock arrangements that immediately transport you to an epic landscape. Nishikawa delivers clear, emotionally resonant performances that leave us in awe, and we find ourselves swaying to his perfectly enunciated lyrics and that unmistakable voice that gives us goosebumps.
We shift gears to savor Baekhyun's "Chocolate"—a sultry, jazz-infused R&B track that lives up to its name. The EXO member's solo project showcases his smooth, rich vocals against dreamy production. We focus on the metaphor comparing a potential love interest to chocolate and appreciate how the arrangement mirrors this complexity with subtle electronic flourishes and soulful piano.
i-dle (formerly (G)I-dle) brings attitude with "Good Thing,". The Avril Lavigne and Kesha vibes had us immediately hooked as we theorized that maybe this isn't your typical breakup song, but that maybe it's about that moment when you meet someone with a great reputation and quickly realize they're not worth your time.
VANNER's "Goodbye & Hello" offers a beautiful moment of calm with gorgeous harmonies and thoughtful lyrics about friendship and reunion. The song's gospel influences shine through in those goosebump-inducing vocal arrangements, creating a comforting soundscape that had both of us gently swaying throughout.
We close with Number_i's "Psycho"—an intense club banger that showcases why headphones are essential for truly appreciating modern production. The audio effects move across channels while each member's distinct vocal style shines through, from powerful belting to what we affectionately call Kishi's "demented rap" delivery.
