There's No Way I'm Turning This Off Repeat Any Time Soon

Kristian J is definitely my favorite Korean-American singer-songwriter, there's no doubt about it. The hip-hop contender sits firmly on a high pedestal in an already fantastic industry. After living in South Korea for two years and independently releasing two albums, Kristian is now based in Mexico City, ready to further his music career in Latin America, while constantly honing his personal brand: sexy, smooth, camp, queer.
Empowering and standing for equality, are two of the reasons why I fell head over heels for Kristian's music. The track flows freely without a care in the world. At just over two minutes long, the track may be short, but it’s certainly sweet. Fitting perfectly in today’s mainstream charts, it’s Kristian J’s smooth vocals that steal the spotlight.

Despite the enigmatic imagery and strange metaphors, it is—just like all the other songs on this EP—a very personal song and you can really hear Kristian connect with his fans. Look at the lyric “dirt on my mouth” represents those not-so-clean details in your life that you can choose to either reveal to the world or keep to yourself. Would you wipe it off?”

I haven't turned this track off since its release and it sits perfectly on an EP that defines an artist ready for the next step. Armed with breathtaking harmonies that create a safe-haven, the beat is by BrazyKey$ and the vocal production by Kristian J himself. “YANG-A-CHI” also features the previously heard single ‘ON&ON’ which received well-deserved recognition, and I'm not surprised in the slightest.
