Music Monday | Xydo — Sweet

Hello fwends~ I’m back with a Music Monday post~ Again, I’m trying to post the sweet and cute songs I wanted to post last month, but didn’t have the time to… I wanted to start off this week with 『Sweet』 by Xydo~ It’s a soft, chill, and sweet r&b track~ It’s a fairly recent release~ I’m a fan of Xydo and his voice, and I’m definitely huge fan of the vibes of this track too~

So first off, let’s talk about Xydo~ Park Chi Woong(박치웅) debuted under the name [Xydo(시도)] in 2019. He is a K-R&B/K-Hip Hop artist that debuted under VIXX’s Ravi’s label Groovl1n. I believe his first single was 『#OOTD (Feat. Coogie)』. Before his debut, he was pretty active in the underground K-Hip Hop scene. He was also a member of Value Per Hour and a former member of POISONHOLYC. He’s also featured and collabed with some familiar names in K-R&B and K-Hip Hop. Aside from Ravi, there’s also pH-1, Bumkey, Boitello, Snzae, and more. He’s got this smooth and languid type of vocals with a nice groove to it~ I honestly didn’t know much about him at first. I just absolutely loved his voice and groove when I first heard his tracks a few years ago. I think the first tracks I stumbled upon were 『Betting (Feat. pH-1)』 and 『Snapshot (Feat. VIINI)』. Both of which were my instant faves and probably some of my top faves from him. 『Snapshot (Feat. VIINI)』 probably my top fave though. But I’m pretty certain I only stumbled upon Xydo because pH-1 was featured on 『Betting (Feat. pH-1)』. Some other tracks that I like include 『Dream』, 『Let’s go out tonight』, 『Spotlight』, 『For Sure (Feat. Cold Bay)』, 『Mint Chocolate (Feat. Ravi)』, 『First Snow (Feat. Bumkey)』, 『Doll (Feat. YUNHWAY)』, 『Stay (Feat. Jade)』, 『Paradigm』, 『Flower (Feat. Yoon Juae)』, and 『Can’t Fall In Love』. He also has a track called 『너 없는 난 (Me Without You)』, which features Moobyul of MAMAMOO. He’s also contributed to the OST for [Twenty Five Twenty One] with the track 『가보자』. Which is interesting becuase it’s more of like a rock kinda track. He’s also contributed to the OST for 조선 정신과 의사 유세풍(Poong, the Joseon Psychiatrist) with 『별빛처럼』. He also contributed to the OST for 공범 2/Accomplice 2 with 『Psycho (Feat. Vahn of NINE.i)』. He also sang the male version of 『Run』 for OST of the Netflix drama [The Fabulous]. Xydo also released an EP with Ravi called Dessert Tape. I really love the track 『말투(feat. Leellamarz)(prod. TOIL)』.

Alright, so let’s get into our actual track~ Like I said before, 『Sweet』 is actually a fairly recent release as it just dropped about 2 weeks ago on February 21. It’s a track that was produced and written by Xydo and Puff. I gotta say that I love that he was completely involved with his music. It’s a very chill, slow, yet sweet Korean R&B track. Of course, we also have Xydo’s languid, yet sweet vocals too. It definitely has sweet and loving vibes to it. I also have to mention that I also love that the track it has a lot of little simple elements in it, but the song itself isn’t simple. It has a lot other little elements added through it, but it’s not overwhelming and works so well with his vocals. I definitely love the guitar. Then you got the other little elements coming through every now like the piano and then to switch it up a bit. It just adds to the ambiance of the track. I couldn’t find properly translated lyrics, but what I could pick up, it was a really sweet track. It’s like the typical singing love for someone kind of track. Things like you can’t help but have them on your mind, and you just find them….so sweet~ Never having felt this way, not knowing how to express your feelings, and wanting to express them carefully~ Yeah~ It’s my kinda cute and fluffy shit~ The line “Girl, you’re the only one, my galaxy” got me going, “AWWW~”. Anyway, you can find the Korean lyrics [here] if you want to MTL it.

Anyway, that’s it for this post~ I know it’s a pretty short and simple post this time! I’ve just been loving this track a lot recently~ So I thought I’d share it with y’all~ Cuz as you know, I love my K-R&B. And I know not everyone is into Korean pop. Like K-Pop has a lot of genres and sounds. It’s a big umbrella term. I just wanted to show people some things outside of mainstream idol music, and I also like sharing artists that I think people might not be as familiar with~ I definitely think Xydo should be hyped up more too~ Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the track. Let me know what you think~ I currently had like a week-ish off of work since my parents had some business out of town (and I ain’t solo-ing our restaurant). So I’m trying to catch up on all my stuff. As you can see, I’m also trying to get as many posts out there as I can~ So hopefully, I’ll have my long-due novel posts out within the next couple of days~ Anyway, I hope you all have a great start to your week! Take care, stay safe, and have a great day friends!
