34: CORTIS: Too Cool, Too Straight, Too Auto-Tuned?
from Micah's K-Spot · host Micah's K-Spot
This week I’m taking a closer listen, literally, to CORTIS. K-pop’s newest 5th-gen phenomenon. With song clips and way too much autotune analysis, I’m unpacking why their music sounds so polished yet strangely familiar ... From Black producer influences to their “vocals optional” approach, we’re diving into how CORTIS represent both the best and most confusing parts of K-pop’s new sound.As well their intense "frat boy" energy which for a queer like me can be hard to connect with.
