Ah December. The month where most groups wind down for Christmas and awards season. It's a notoriously quiet month, but much like the rest of 2020, December has flipped expectations and is looking surprisingly stacked. We've already got comebacks from the likes of BOA, NCT 2020, ONEUS and have acts like Ghost9 and Super Junior … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Panorama – IZ*ONE
It seems as though the debut of a new SM girl group has been imminent for some years now. In fact, it's been four years since SM last debuted a new group and almost six since their last girl group, Red Velvet. As such, Aespa, and their debut effort, Black Mamba arrive with much expectation. … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Black Mamba – Aespa
I think it's finally time for me to come to terms with the fact that I've begun to fall out of love with BTS' music. 2020 is a year that has heralded massive success for the group and their recent success on the billboard hot 100 with August's Dynamite is certainly evidence of that. But … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Life Goes On – BTS
Oh boy it's been a while hasn't it. I really don't want to keep taking these really long breaks but University exam season is in full swing down under and as a result, the time I can afford to spare on reviewing the latest kpop releases has shrunk massively. So, here is a jam packed … Continue reading Quickie Catchup Reviews: AB6IX, Berry Good, E’last, GFRIEND, Mamamoo, Monsta X, Park Jihoon, Taemin, TREASURE, TXT, XIA
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
