Four Women-Led Tracks, From Punk Pop To K-Rock
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Dress codes, first-crush nerves, quiet confidence, and full-throttle rock chaos all belong on the same playlist when women are driving the story. We’re celebrating Women’s Month the way we know best: four women-led releases that cover a ridiculous amount of emotional ground while proving, again, that the most interesting ideas in K-pop, Asian pop, and K-rock are coming from artists who still don’t get enough platform.
We start with ena mori’s “Funny,” a Filipino-Japanese shot of punky pop-rock that feels like a wink and a warning at the same time. The guitars bite, the groove moves, and the lyrics go straight for the weird rules girls get stuck with, from “naughty” ponytails to protection from creeps. Then we switch gears into BINI’s “Unang Kilig” (“First Thrill”), a bright, nostalgic track that captures the exact moment a crush locks eyes with you across the room and your friends start pushing you to make a move.
From there, aespa’s “ATTITUDE” brings polished power with a cinematic edge, plus the fun twist of being tied to an anime intro. We wrap with Rolling Quartz “Red Hot,” a self-produced rock anthem that makes us wish we could catch them live, because that energy belongs on a stage. If you care about women in music, girl groups, female rock bands, and Asian artists getting heard, queue this one up, share it with a friend, and leave a review so more listeners find the show.

Anna Mori And “Funny” Breakdown
SPEAKER_01I really like the song. But, anyways, let's start with that actually. She is a Filipino Japanese artist. Uh her name is Anna Mori. Her song, we're gonna be uh talking about her song Funny, that it was released on February 27th. Now, who is Anna Mori? Because I was surprised about this song and how good it is. So her she her name actually is Anna Patricia Morivella. Of course, she's known by her stage name, Anna Mori. Uh, she's a Filipino-Japanese singer, songwriter, and musician. She was born in Japan, but then moved to the Philippines to finish her senior year, high school in Las Piñas. Uh, she studied music production at De La Sale College at St. Benal Benilda? Benilde?
SPEAKER_00I'm gonna go with Benilda. Okay.
SPEAKER_01I have an A-E at the end, not an A, but that's okay. Oh, I well, see, we get different translations and things. So Saint Benilda could be right. I don't know. Uh she began pursuing her solo musical career in 2018 before releasing her self-titled EP in 2020, and her debut album Don't Blame the Wild One in 2022. I was like, whoa, love this cheeky already. I mean, this young lady. So the song funny to me, it's a bold in the pop. When I first heard it, I was like already hooked on the catchy, energetic sound. The track feels like empowering, it's rebellious, it brings back memories of like early 90s with the vibe similar to the breeders. Oh my god.
SPEAKER_00That was the first thing I thought of was the breeders.
SPEAKER_01L7 and L7, which I'm like, oh my god, I really like it's yeah, the whole the rebellious, the whole thing. Oh, please. That's so funny.
SPEAKER_00We both came up. I was like, this is like Kim Deal. What's going on?
SPEAKER_01Right? So the song also like touches on uh I like the the lyrics, it touches on like friendship, resilience, and uh the question of all ideas, like for girls, especially. I like the lyric when she says, according to the news this morning, we can't wear ponytails in school because that is naughty. And I do remember see like I don't know when it was a while ago. I really do remember seeing that, like I think it was on Japan Times that announcing girls cannot wear ponytails because uh it's the deems to be too provocative. I'm like, what?
SPEAKER_00Well, because it shows their neck, their bare neck and shoulders, and it's a distraction to men.
SPEAKER_01Oh anyway, yeah. So even so she was like saying, even though it's hot or rainy, you still gotta wear your hair straight, which is yeah. So I I like that she brought that up that in that I like the greediness of the guitar, the distortion bass. I just sounds great. I love the whole hip hop uh hip hop beats, the mix, the sound, the traditional instruments though, that they were very playful, cheer, like had a cheerful feeling, and it just almost feels like it could have been like a children's song towards the end, especially with that happiness.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_01But um, I just was like, I really, really like this song. This this this chicken. I'm gonna call her Chicky. I don't know why. Because she's I don't know, it it was just hook, they're catching it. Love it, love the whole empowerment on this song.
SPEAKER_00Right. I was gonna say, well, Chicky's kind of like an empowering thing, taking back, you know, when men are like a bunch of chicks hanging, right? Yeah, right. Yeah, that's right. We're chickies, you bet. So she's so punk.
SPEAKER_01And I'm already so punk. I love her.
SPEAKER_00Mattern? Yes. Yeah, I was gonna say this is sort of like grunge indie rock. The guitar and the bass, drums, all of that, they're kind of they're kind of basic and raw, but at the same time very powerful because they're so stark, there's not a whole lot of like background noise going on. Like you said, I had it right here, a bit like the breeders. That was the very first band that came to mind. I was like, wow, this is so edgy chick rock, right? But there's also like this slight psychedelic twist in there and a little bit of a swagger about it. It's just it's full of strength and defiance, and like the way the delivery of the vocals is so sort of like, yeah, like you said, the can't wear ponytails because that is naughty. I also like the line um wearing long nails to protect us from you creeping. Because this, like the beginning of it is sort of like some man's point of view saying how don't disrespect me. And then like following you to your house and see your lights on and whatnot. So at times I was like, exactly who's saying you think this is funny? Mm-hmm. You know, I was like, is that the guy being like asserting his dominance, or is that her being like, you know what? You think I'm being funny? I'm gonna tell you something, buddy. Because, like I said, that wearing the nails long to keep you from creeping. Yeah. And it's exactly what it is. You know, you have all these things, like we were saying, the can't wear your hair up because you're showing your neck and your shoulders. We've had stuff like that happening here in schools. Can't wear like sleeveless shirts or whatever because showing your bare shoulders. Oh my god, you don't know what is this 1800s when women couldn't show their ankles, you know.
SPEAKER_01No too much, you know, chest, too much, you know.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. Well, like I said, we're going back to the Victorian era where you couldn't don't lift your skirt up too high, taking a step because your ankles will show and men will.
SPEAKER_01Do not show your ankles. Even you're wearing boots up to your ankles, right?
SPEAKER_00Exactly. Oh, geez. So this was to me, yeah, a very empowering song talking about like fighting back against those societal restraints and constrictions, and especially the sort of unspoken rules that men have for how women dress, how they look, how they act. You know what I mean? So it was really it's playful, but it's got a message. Right. You know what I mean? It's like, don't mess around with me, dude. I'm not I'm not gonna take it. No, no, so awesome. Just good, good song if you're feeling like a little like angry, but you don't want to be totally nasty about it. So just you know, ha ha. You think it's funny.
unknownYou think it's funny.
SPEAKER_01Love it. Because it's this you love it. It's I love it. It yeah, exactly. It's like you maybe complaining maybe to a maybe a a brother or some some more dad, maybe, and it, you know, like we find it funny. It's like, oh, you girls cannot, you know, blah, do this or that is like, oh, you think this is funny? I'm gonna tell you to let I die how you know absurd the thing is. You know, exactly.
SPEAKER_00You're never gonna hear the end of this. No, it's not, it's not cool, it's not okay. Yeah, no, exactly. Love it, awesome, yes, awesome song.
SPEAKER_01It's like perfect for this month. It's so perfect for this month. Definitely. Love, love, love. Anyways, sort of in sharp contrast to the next song. I know coming now for the next song. I I wanted to have, you know, we gotta give some different, you know, feelings. Mix it up. Because, you know, we're females are very passionate and emotional, just like people say, oh, females are so emotional. No, but we have so much inside of us.
SPEAKER_00That'll be little volcanoes waiting to explode all the time.
SPEAKER_01Especially if you're a Pisces, according to a lot of like algorithm.
SPEAKER_00I know everything. They're like Pisces is the most emotional. Well, yeah, we kind of don't cross up Pisces, we feel everything 120%. Oh my god.
Bini’s “Unan Kiling” First Crush Glow
SPEAKER_01Maybe more. Yes. So our next group is Bini. This is not the first time we have talked about Bini. Nope. Uh their newest song, Unan Killing. I translated to First Thrill. How about you? That's what I got too. Oh my god. Yay. I know, right? Did you use Google Translate? Yes. Okay, me too. All right, so now Google Translate, because sometimes Sarah and I will use Google Translate, might say something different than Sarah's. Well, why is the one?
SPEAKER_00I wonder if it's because whatever uh search engine we're using to Google Translate in, maybe we use different so this song was released on March 5th.
SPEAKER_01Uh, let me just give you a quick introduction for the ladies. But if you would like to go to our past episode that where we did a deep dive on Binny, and now that episode came out on October 24th, 2021. Wow. And the name of that episode, I know, girl. So the name of that episode is Beanie Born to Win. Please check that out. Definitely. Please check that out. It was a really good. I I I we like from then on, we were like, yeah, this come on, this girl group gotta win. You know, they're born to win. So introducing you to the ladies, we have Aya. I don't know, I got Tantai there, Colette, Maloy, Gwen, also Stacy, Mika, Johanna, and Sheena. Woo! Isn't she the warrior princess?
SPEAKER_00No, I think that was She-Ra. Oh, I thought She-Ra was the one that went with He-Man. Yeah. Sheena was a different. I think there's oh, maybe she's like a jungle queen. I don't know. Anyway. I like the name. It's it's fun. Sheena. Or are you no, you think you think of the mm? It's not important.
SPEAKER_01Well, you start naming things, and my brain is like, no, let me think. Laulless was the last name of the actress.
SPEAKER_00Oh, that was um Xena? Zina, yeah. That's something different. This was way back in the 80s. Tanya Roberts. I mean, it was awesome. Because she went with like Beastmaster. She was Sheena, the beast mistress, maybe. I don't know. It was, you know. You know how everything had to have the counterpart. Yeah. He man She-Rah. Beastmaster, Sheena. Zina was her own thing. Maybe she was opposite Hercules or something. I don't know. But anyway, we digress.
SPEAKER_01Well, they're all empowering ladies, even though this song is not about that. Well, but it could be. It's Women's Month, and we give you giving empowerment to the ladies, to the female, you know, representation here. Anyways, Unan Killing. Alright. Now, for me, that mixed like bubblegum pop, uh, city pop, and like like retro RMB. It creates like a warmth, it's upbeat, it feels both like new and nostalgic. I like the eight talented vocalists. The song just gives these funkiness and playful vibes. You can hear this the singer's like excitement and they like waiting for that boy to make the first move. That first thrill. Oh my god. Exactly. Just like the boy, like the song, the name of the song. Uh, it really brings out like a feeling of first crush. Yes. I like the it's just the whole the way they project, and of course, the lyrics just capture that thrill of that certainty of like new romance. Um, in that moment that your heart races, and you're just like, come on, boy, like tell me what I want. Like, hello. And it's just but it's catchy, it's uplifting, it's slight, it's just beanie charm. There's strong vocals, they're knacked to turning like everyday feel into like a you know, like a peepop, you know, powerful hit for the group. But yeah, that's how I feel. I mean, I I don't know how much for it, just like you feel like, oh, first love, this is so sweet.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, it's fluttery. You feel like excited and a little thrill. Thrill. That's the only word there is for it. Yeah. I was gonna say, yeah, I sort of got this um when they open, it's this like flashy, showy kind of Broadway musical stage show almost sound. Very much like theater music is sort of how I but then they s they bring in their sweet vocals and sort of transition to this swell of voices and sound, and they bring in some background synth and some brass, you know, orchestrated. And it's subtle, but it drives the song along. It really is sort of like just background sounds to their voices, which are just so sweet and beautiful. And it's very much like this party mixer kind of feel, like everybody's standing together and like bumping each other and being like, Look at the look at that guy across. He's looking at you, he's looking at you know what I mean. Like it's very much they're just slightly bopping to the music, but laughing, having a good time, and checking out the room, you know, like and catching someone's eye and someone catching your eye, and just being like, Oh, look, you know, oh, I'm feeling a little flutter. Like, am I blushing? Oh my god, you know what I mean? Is it looking at me? So it's it's sweet without being like sugary and sappy. It's just like literally a bunch of friends hanging out, being like, Oh, check him out. Oh, he's checking you out, girl. Go for it, go for it. You know what I mean? Like, so it was really just fun and light and bright and happy. Again, like I said, big contrast to the first song. It's like, don't mess with me, dude. These girls are like, oh, you know, let's see what what's going on. Who's who's gonna make a match tonight, you know what I mean? Kind of thing. Right. And it's just very much, yeah, a very sweet, happy, playful kind of t mood to it. So I just I really enjoyed it for that. You know, it just it did. It gave you that memories of your first sort of thrill of seeing the guy you like, and he catches your eye, and you're both sort of like, oh, oh, who's gonna who's gonna walk across the room and talk? So awesome, great song from the girls. Yes, really liked it because again, it's not like just sugary sweet, it's sort of full of all these emotions that you get. That first thrill of attraction and love and everything else. It's awesome.
SPEAKER_01I don't get that anymore.
SPEAKER_00I haven't gotten it in a long time. It's yeah, me too. Oh well.
SPEAKER_01So, hey, we get to relive that experience by listening to the song. Right.
SPEAKER_00Well, I mean, because the memories are still there. You still you can remember what it felt like, whether or not it hits you anymore. You know, right. It's it's there in the back of your mind, subconsciously. You're like, oh, I remember feeling like that. Right. I remember thinking that way.
aespa “Attitude” And Anime Vibes
SPEAKER_01Right. Yes, the song does that bring those memories. So that's cool. Thank you, ladies. That was really cool. It was awesome. Now we're gonna go into uh more uh attitude, pretty much. That means the song says it the name says it all. We're going to talk about esp attitude. Now that was released releach release, you are much. I am and you just need more water, or it I am drinking water. So a quick introduction of the ladies. They are under SM Entertainment. We have Karina, Giselle, Winter, and Ning Ning. I think that's how it's pronounced. I think now the cool thing about this song Attitude, it it's work as a solo, but it's actually the intro for the anime. Oh my goodness, now I d what did I last? Blue, I'll kill Blue. So that's kind of cool. They're doing a collaboration with a Japanese company for their anime. So now I want to see that anime. I kind of read it a little bit. I mean, the in the introduction of the anime. It looks interesting. It's sci-fi. So it might be up my alley. So we'll see. Again, attitude. This is a very lively, upbeat song. I mean, it's come on, it's Espa is well known for their like dance or techno or like EDM track. So this is like another one. But of course, it's more polished for the anime. Uh, but of course, the girls strong vocals. The track features like confident lyrics, it's just catchy tuned, smooth production, of course. It's a Sam. And just working as a solo song. Great. And I and I can't wait to see the anime, how they introduced that as a theme. So uh, yeah, that's gonna be great visuals. It had gotta have great visuals. So I just you know, I don't have much too much to say about this one because it's so dancing, but it's just bold, it's empowering, another empowering song.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, definitely.
SPEAKER_01You know, definitely so, but uh of course, if you see that live, that's gonna be an awesome, awesome song. Oh, yeah. Love to see that.
SPEAKER_00Well, just because the that opening part to it is sort of like a little suspenseful, and I found it interesting that the opening synth also it went from sounding like a wolf growl whine into just this tone, right? I was like, is that a how oh no, it's just the synth. It was crazy, it was really wild. But awesome beats and the sort of the push staccato, like very di at the beginning. And that's like they're prowling along the streets, scoping out an area before entering. Anywhere. It's like, and it's full of attitude for sure. So it's like not they're not skulking along warily. They're just boldly walking in and checking out, all right, what's going on, surveying the scene and being aware of what's going on. I really like too their use of the dec decrescendo, like the way the music goes down. I was like, oh, that's kind of wild. Because it's again that sort of feeling of like sliding into the the area and being like, yeah, we're here. Not making a big grand entrance, just sort of grabbing attention by being subtle. You know what I mean? It's it sounds like it shouldn't work that way, but that was the feeling I got. Like they're like, we're not gonna burst in and be like, hey, we're here with our attitude. They're like, we're gonna just walk in and you're gonna know we came in because we've got this aura and this energy coming off of us that we got our attitude. But at the same time, they've got some some sweet vocals, but they're bold. And so it's this just not overpowering, but it's an empowering sound coming off of them. And then they break into that high-energy dance, and you're like, whoa, what is going on? So it's just awesome. And but then they they keep transitioning back to that sort of cat and mouse game where they're like, again, we're not we're gonna tone back the attitude a little and just sort of play with you, and it's awesome. And that the closing vocals that like is epic. That holding that tone, giving you my attitude. That's that's where they bring in the force, and they're like, you can't miss me now. Here I am. So I just think that the whole song is exactly what they're saying, giving you my attitude. It's gonna come on strong, you're gonna feel it, but I'm not I'm not gonna beat you over the head with it. I'm just telling you, you're gonna know that I'm here. I'm not taking any bull crap from anybody, just standing my ground. And yeah, at the like I said, that towards the end, those vocals when they're holding those notes and stuff, I was like, wow, wow, that is some pipes somebody's got going on there. But it's just yeah, you get so sort of caught up in some of that energy of the the dance part that you're like, oh yeah. And subconsciously and unconsciously, you are exuding attitude. You're like, oh yeah, I feel powerful. So this is a good power song. Oh yeah. Like to give you that edge on your day when you're feeling like, all right, nobody mess with me today.
SPEAKER_01I need some oomph. I'm gonna listen to this. I like also the um the distorted song that goes attitude and attitude is like wow.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, that's that descending. It's it's wild. Yeah. Like I said, instead of going up and being like, like what they do at the end when they rise up and s just hold that attitude in the in the middle in the whole beginning part, they're going down. And it's just they're like, we don't need to be loud about this.
SPEAKER_01We're gonna It's just like that little voice keep you you know that whisper. You know, I think the most powerful like level of most powerful level of voice to get it stuck in your head is when somebody whispers in your ear and you're just like, oh, because it's like stuck in there. So that's what's like giving you my attitude, you know?
SPEAKER_00Yeah, because it's well it's because it's controlled and it's it's not that loud and bold, and right, it's like, here we go. You're gonna remember this because I'm keeping steady, calm, yeah, cool, but you're gonna know what I'm telling you.
SPEAKER_01So you're like, ooh. So that's a great production there. Absolutely. The usage of that. So you're like, yeah, I'm stuck in my head. It's stuck in my head. It is, you know. So that was great, great play there. Whoever did that. I didn't check who actually produced that, but um, I didn't either. Okay. Wanna move on to the next song? Or you wanna check who did the production for Espa's attitude? Oh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh. Don't play it. No, we can't do that.
SPEAKER_00Alright, so yeah, I don't see producer, I see composer, composer, composer, lyricist. So Edwin Lindbergh, Lucas Halgren, which is a name I've seen before. Yeah. He's done music for a lot of people, I think. Not so much Edwin. I I don't recognize that name. And then Wilhelmina is another composer, and Lauren Kaori is the lyricist. But it doesn't say production, which is weird. Yeah, no, I amazing song. So it's probably Lucas. We we recognize your music and your sound, so we really like it. Uh awesome, Espa. Check it out. Are we gonna move onward?
Rolling Quartz “Red Hot” Rock Fire
SPEAKER_01Moving on to the next song. Last but not least.
SPEAKER_00Someone else we've talked about before. Not in a whole episode, though. No. We've we've done at least one from them before.
SPEAKER_01One other song. Uh the next group is a band from Korea, Rolling Quartz, with the song Red Hot. Yeah. That was released on March 5th. Love the Red Hearts. Now, this is self-produced too. I know, yeah, they do everything themselves. Yeah, you want to introduce the ladies?
SPEAKER_00Produced and written by Jeeong.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, which she is the front woman.
SPEAKER_00She is. So we've got Iri, I think is how you would say it. Aram, Jae Young, who actually she wrote this particular song. Yunjoon and Hyan Jung are the ladies of Rolling Quartz, South Korean rock, but did we say that? And they're under Rolling Star Entertainment.
SPEAKER_01Which I think is their label.
SPEAKER_00I believe so, yes. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01I love this. This is all them. This is all them. This is amazing. And just being like the front woman. Jee Yong. I want to say Jee Young, right?
SPEAKER_00Yeah, that's I think.
SPEAKER_01You can tell from her vocals. Oh hoo hoo. Like, yeah, like I'm Red Hot on this one. Like, where did you get this emotions for this lyrics? Because just the song, because she just like, yeah. Uh-uh. It's just Red Hot is just very modern, hard rock, hits punk, and also pop rock. It starts with songs with like the streaming section, then it just jump into like crunchy electric guitars, the drums, uh MG. I mean, these girls are so amazing. The production, the energetic, letting the instrument just stand out. It's bold. You know, we missed them live. They actually they came. Mm-hmm. Yeah, no, I remember. And we're like, why New York? We can't afford New York now. Come on. So we're kind of sad about that. But her vocals are just bold, expressive, and aggressive. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. She moves like from control delivery to like explosive curse. Just brings that emotion, the attitude. Ugh. Just love her way. She's such a like rock diva. Love it. You know, it shows like how this group just come on. It just stands out in the K rock. Not many. Yes, you can only. I only seen only like male groups just dominating the K rock. But of course, you know, whatever. Yeah, the ladies, you know, they don't want to. You know, our feel on it. But I mean, they should be up there with male, you know, rock bands. They're charismatic vocals, their fearless, just rock attitude, they're playful, they're intense. I just, you know what? I just love the girls. And I just feel really bad not seeing them live because I mean they're that good in recording. Just imagine them on stage. I know. Feeling the energy from them.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, it's totally different seeing like a band versus just a girl group. Yeah. You know, it's not better, not worse, just different. It's a different energy. Yeah, you get something else out of it.
SPEAKER_01That's why we love live concerts. We love concerts because of that. We hear our favorite music, but then when you see it, you're there in the same room with everybody else. It's just like this vibe that's like more intense. But your favorite song is just intense, you know, millions and millions of times because you're like, that's why you come out of concerts, like, oh just random marathon. Exactly. Your emotions are you're drained. So I just have a feeling that if we ever get to see the ladies and they play this song, I'm gonna feel the same way. Like, oh my god. I'm gonna come out of there like, wow, wow, I need to, I need to lay down, I need water, I need some nutrition. Because I I mean, I'm gonna I'm gonna feel it, I'm gonna like enjoy it so much because of their energy. Absolutely, yeah. But I I do love I love this song.
SPEAKER_00No, it's cool. Well, I really like that opening bass accompanying the vocals, and then it sort of transitions into that like just heavy, bold, good old rock and roll, like strong guitar, strong bass, strong drums. This is like rock anthem, totally. And a sort of there were moments, brief touches where I was like, this is sort of like the Ramones energy. That like gritty grungy rock that just sort of grabs your attention, gets you like, you know. Um, the vocals, they're raspy and strong, but not like shrieky, not overpowering, not forced, just strong, bold voice coming through to you. I loved the the shredding guitar solo in the middle. It's like, and like this is this is sort of like that raging party feel. And they're they're just like, we're on fire right now, we're red hot. We are here, just bringing the vibes, bringing the energy, and getting everybody involved, pulling you in and just putting you in this party mode.

Just like you're like, woo, that took a lot out of me because there was so much emotion, angst. I don't know. You know what I mean? It's really had that true rock and roll grit to it. It was awesome. So, like you said, yeah, seeing this live would just be so cool. The whole room would be jumping and hopping and like bouncing off the walls.
