We're finally here. After 12 gruelling months, we have finally reached the dog days of 2020. And aside from the political, social and *cough* pandemic related struggles that many of us went through, it was fulfilling to see the Korean music industry rise up to even greater heights. It was a year that saw the … Continue reading The Top 100 K-Pop Songs of 2020 (Honourable Mentions)
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.

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
