Stray Kids [K-Pop Boy Band] for TTT

Today's tunes for the TTT initiative by Ablaze are from a recent discovery. It all started with a piece of news I came across yesterday, which I couldn't resist clicking. Per the post, the boy band claimed their 7th consecutive #1 on the US Billboard Album 200, becoming the first artists to have seven number 1 entries in the 69-year history of the Billboard chart, surpassing Linkin Park, BTS, and Dave Matthews Band as the group with the most number 1s on Billboard 200 since 2000. Whoa, they must be really good, I thought. I just had to check their songs!

*Stray Kids.* The name sounded familiar, but it was my first time seeing their faces. Then I remembered [a comment](https://ecency.com/hive-193816/@muktakinahmed/re-ifarmgirl-t1mve1) from Muktakin last week, where he mentioned them (thank you). I didn't realize they are a K-pop group. Anyway, all three songs for today are from the group's fourth studio album Karma, which was released recently (August 22). Here's the lead single from the said album for our first tune: ### Stray Kids - Ceremony

Hip hip Hooray! Aah, I like the fun, playful vibes, the funky rhythm, and powerful beats. It's something nice to listen to when you're sleepy, but don't want to close your eyes because you already snoozed too much, lol! I also liked the futuristic music video, which was quite interesting to watch. Accordingly, the song has won in four Korean music shows (i.e. M!Countdown on Aug. 28; Music Bank on the 29th, Show! Music Core on the 30th, and Inkigayo on the 31st of August). Anyway, our tune number two is the first track on their album. ### Stray Kids - Bleep

I liked this hip-hop tune for its energetic and strong beats. The group's intense singing kept me awake, that's for certain.😅 I wouldn't listen to it on days when I want to be quiet and relaxed, though. *"What the _____!"* They censored the F words on it, which I appreciate a lot, because I tend to get a bad headache when hearing too many in a sitting, lol! And the last tune for this week's edition: ### Stray Kids - In My Head

I wouldn't confine this to pop, as it has elements of hip-hop, punk, and rock (that's what I think anyway). The lyrics are relatable, delving into mental battles, which (I believe) we all (or most of us) experience at some point in our lives. And with that, I end this Three Tune edition for the week. I'd say the first song is my favorite among the 3.
