BY BRENESSA ROACH | OCTOBER 31, 2023
Happy Halloween!! This month I have 10 songs to share with you all! A few of them were released at the end of September and a few were released throughout October. Hope you discover some new songs out of this article too.
Release Date: September 28, 2023
“Spicy” is one of the singles on their EP Spicy which released on September 28th. I absolutely love this song because of the production and the lyrics. I think No Guidnce has such a unique sound, while still incorporating sounds from ‘90s R&B.

Zack Tabudlo is a singer I have been listening to since this year, but really got into his music once he started teasing this song on TikTok prior to the release. “DELULU” is such a relatable song and I absolutely love the meaning of it and I think it sounds so beautiful sung in Tagalog as well.

“3D” is Jung Kook’s second pre-release track for his upcoming album Golden which comes out on November 3rd. This song is so catchy and I think Jack Harlow was a cool feature for this song.

“what do i do now?” is a song I first heard on Spotify prior to the release. It was stuck in my head before it came out so i knew I’d love this song and sure enough I did. I absolutely love the sweet production with the heartbreaking type of lyrics.

This song I discovered through my daylist playlist on Spotify I believe and it’s so catchy! I had never heard of AWIN prior to this song, but I really like their voice and style of music.

Minshik is an artist I discovered this year and I really like his style of music and voice. “New with you” is definitely one of my favourite songs so far though!

This song is by far my favourite song this month. Since the release it has become my #1 most played song for the whole month. I absolutely love the lyrics and the production. Everything about this song is sad, yet beautiful and reminiscent. Can’t really explain it, but it’s definitely one of my favourite releases this year. As well, the whole i cried my eyes out album is amazing.

As a fan of GEMINI, I was really excited for this song to come out because I had never listened to Etham before or even knew who he was. With this release, I realized I really like Etham’s voice and style of music. This song was different than GEMINI’s regular music and I think the blend between both their voices and styles was really unique!

“Bar Is On The Floor” was one of my favourite new songs on Alex’s EP Lovesick which also released on this same day. It is a no-skip EP for me though, but I think this song is so energetic, powerful and fun. Alex is also an artist I really admire.

If you have been following Behind The Beat for a whole, you would know that I’m a huge WIMY fan. Literally love every single song he has released since his debut and “pages” is another one to add to my favourites collection. I also love the cover art so so much. WIMY’s vocals are so warm and mixed with his indie-pop genre of music, his songs are just cozy and comforting.
