By now it’s obvious that I’m a sucker for any and all thing R&B and Soul. This, of course, includes all subgenres. One that I’ve not had the pleasure of hearing a lot of from South Korea is neo-soul. Sure, some of the top and more adventurous idols delve into what are considered fringe musical … More Cy Recommends — Nuz
As you all know, I actually took the time out to go to KCON LA this year. Let me tell you, it was one of the most enlightening experiences in my life. A consequence—or perhaps blessing—of getting to go to perhaps the largest celebration of Korean music and pop culture in the world is getting … More Cy Recommends — Odd Folks
Today I’d like to take you outside of yourself for a second, let you experience what it feels like to see your own psyche as you float above yourself. (Yeah… sometimes I get a little deep, but you all love it, really.) What I’m talking about is music that truly transcends the limitations of what … More [Out of the Box] Mndsgn
Last year marked a lot of firsts for me: first festival (SXSW), first time interviewing a Korean artist, first time meeting my new sisters in indie, Jenna and Rebecca. Among those was the opportunity to see my first electronica artist live: haihm. Though the lighting was a bit of an issue (as was her placement) … More Cy Recommends – haihm
I never thought I’d find myself weak with emotion from an artist’s debut album, but that’s exactly what happened to me when I first happened upon Hippy Was Gipsy, a duo comprised of one of my new favorite producers, Jflow (also part of collective WAVISABIROOM), and vocalist Sep. Their debut, Tree, is one of the more … More [Review] Hippy was Gipsy – Tree

This young sir decided he was going to bless my soul with his rendition of a song straight from my childhood. This boy had the nerve, the unmitigated gall to cover … More Cy Recommends – Rico

It’s raining today. It’s one of those days where you don’t want to do anything put listen to something soft and love while watching as fat teardrops speckle your window. On a day like this, I’m reminded of a band that I’d come across while looking over the bands attending last year’s Zandari Festa. Room306 is a … More Cy Recommends – Room306
Anyone who knows me knows I have an affinity for big voices. And while South Korea certainly isn’t lacking in talent, after a while hearing the same type of R&B just becomes… blah. However, when multiple members of clube$kimo hype up one singer in particular, trust I’m going to take an interest. Of course it helps … More Cy Recommends – SAAY
