Although they debuted with bang, Blackpink have since recessed into one of modern Kpop's most confusing release schedules. Their 1 song a year promotions since 2017 have transformed each Blackpink comeback into more a musical moment than just any standard song release. However, more often than not these year long waits result in rather underwhelming … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: How You Like That – BLACKPINK
Year released: 2009 Although I've fallen in love with many Johnny's entertainment groups over the past few months, the group that have probably struck me the hardest are Kat-Tun. Not only do they have an incredibly consistent yet varied discography, but their incredible vocal blend is enough to make almost any song transcendent. Even though … Continue reading JPOP HALL OF FAME: Rescue – KAT-TUN

Despite the fact that Golden Child are one of my favourite groups, 2020 has firmly taught me to never hold any expectations. Compared to both 2018 and 2019, this years singles have felt rather underwhelming, adhering much more to stale trends than forming strong, unique melodies. But while the title tracks have mostly been lacklustre, … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: One (Lucid Dream) – Golden Child
Although I consider them one of my bias groups, I haven't really been enamoured by a Seventeen title track since 2018's Thanks. And that was more than two full years ago. The group have had consistently strong albums but I've always felt like the promoted singles have played second fiddle to the much superior b-sides. … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Left & Right – SEVENTEEN
After about a week and a half after the release of WayV's debut full length album, 'Awaken The World'; I've come to the conclusion that it and its lead single are the strongest the NCT project have sounded all year. Not only is Turn Back Time a dynamite blast of rock and hip-hop, but the … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Turn Back Time – WayV
As June's onslaught of comebacks continue, I've noticed a rather interesting trend. While most of the singles are improvements over much of what we've heard this year, there's always an album track (or group of album tracks) that far outshine them. This is a rather common occurrence but the fact that it's happened for almost … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Oopsy – Weki Meki
Despite the title track being a little too generic for my liking, Cravity's debut album is probably my favourite debut of the year so far. The album was full of enjoyable yet different material with tracks like Top of the Chain, Stay and Star being definite standouts. Another one of these undeniable highlights was Cloud … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Cloud 9 – Cravity
