Featured MV of the Day: “You Know (feat. Okasian)” by Jay Park

The chorus-effected guitar on this song is so rich and distinct I initially thought it was an organ. It makes the entire song feel infused with soul as the bass and drums lock together in perfectly groovy synchronicity. The female vocal is sweet but bold as it soars above the band during the chorus. In the verses it’s intimately coy, with a mysterious delivery. This was the first song I ever heard from Bosudong Cooler, and it got me hooked on the band forever. Make sure to check it out!
