After the debut onslaught that was 2019, 2020 has obviously felt slight in comparison. Not only have there been less debuts, but very few of them have actual left a lasting impression on me. Of course there have been exceptions, but I'm still waiting for 2020's Crown, Dalla Dalla or even Valkyrie! The latest group … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Swear – E’Last
At this point I'm honestly surprised that DIA still exist. Though they whoo'd me (no pun intended) with last years retro-infused WOOWA it's been more than a year since that track dropped.

Although my placement for … Continue reading K-POP Monthly Roundup: May 2020

The girls had expressed a desire to expand conceptually for years and 2019 was really a year to spread their wings. So far, almost every song … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: More & More – TWICE
