Since debuting early this year with the great, Midnight Romance, The Midnight Romance have been slowly but steadily releasing a strong collection of synth heavy music. Not all of it has been for me but their adherence to building a signature sound has definitely perked my ears. In fact, they've slowly become the band I'm … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Nightmare – The Midnight Romance
I don't think I've been this hyped for a debut since TXT's Crown early last year. Woolim are one of my favourite companies and given its star studded roster, it shouldn't be any surprise why. They're home to my favourite Kpop group of all time (INFINITE) and groups like Golden Child and Lovelyz are also … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Nostalgia – DRIPPIN
While I predominantly cover singles on here, I’ve always been an avid consumer of albums. More often than not, this results in some songs that I adore but others that I detest. As a remedy to this issue, we have Beast Sides! These songs put the Beast in B-side and are either stronger than their … Continue reading Beast Sides: Top Secret – Weeekly
CIX's Jungle has been a long time coming. Originally scheduled for a June 30th release, the track and its accompanying album, 'HELLO Chapter 3: Hello, Strange Time' were delayed due to centre and former Wanna One member Bae Jinyoung's ankle injury. And now after nearly 4 months, it's here. But was the wait worth it? … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Jungle – CIX
The last time TXT came back in the month of October, we got, what I now consider one of my favourite Kpop songs of all time, the sensational Run Away (9 and Three Quarters). So theoretically, this should put massive expectations on Blue Hour; but given my rather evident dislike for May's Can't You See … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Blue Hour – TXT
Despite my love for Twice, I found June's More & More and its resulting mini album to be a complete bore. Of course there were some highlights, but it was a far cry from the TWICE of 2019 and felt like a massive downgrade from what I consider the groups strongest single, Feel Special. That's … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: I Can’t Stop Me – TWICE
Ever since the release of last years Hip, the members of Mammamo have lent a much greater focus on their solo careers. Moonbyul, Hwasa and Solar have all released solo singles (and in Hwasa and Moonbyul's cases, mini albums) and Wheein has furthered her reputation as an OST mainstay within the K-drama sphere. Now, nearly … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Dingga – Mamamoo
Wow, it feels weird talking about a B1A4 (or is it A3 now?) song in 2020. Despite them being one of my all time favourite boy groups, I had all but given up hope on seeing any new material from the group after Jinyoung and Baro left WM. Especially since Jinyoung was responsible for almost … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Like A Movie – B1A4
Ever since old school funk and retro became one of the K-pop industries leading trends, I've been pulling for Seventeen to give us the kind of big, brash, pop stomper that characterised so much of their early years. Unfortunately, June's Left & Right was not that, relying much more on catchphrase heavy hooks and the … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: HOME;RUN – SEVENTEEN
Over the past few months, I've come to realise that I love the idea of Loona more than the group themselves. I heavily enjoyed much of their pre-release material and the group is home to some really great personalities. But musically, I've failed to really connect with any of their full group release. Apart from … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Why Not? – Loona
