Although I’ll primarily be reviewing singles, there are some albums that are too influential or strong to not cover. In this segment, I will be spotlighting those standout albums and giving my thoughts on each and every track While ITZY had a watershed 2019, the only thing that kept them from really transforming into bonafide superstars … Continue reading ALBUM REVIEW: ITZY – IT’z ME
During her stint on Produce 101 and resulting group IOI, Kim Sejeong always stood out to me as one of the more interesting members. While she has an incredible voice, it was her undeniable charisma and ability to hook you immediately that really transformed her into a bonafide star. And while her own group Gugudan … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Plant – Kim Sejeong
Eyedi has always been a weird artist for me to properly assess. Her brand of psychedelic lo-fi synth-pop is completely unique within the K-pop landscape, and this often results in a number of singles that are either absolute knockouts, or complete let downs. Last years hypnotic &new luckily fell into the former category, providing one … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: J.us.T – Eyedi
These girls really never stop do they. Since last years excellent 'Raid of Dream' album, the group have pretty much been promoting non stop between Korea and Japan. While their Korean work has been phenomenal, their Japanese songs have been a little more hit or miss. Last years Breaking Out failed to fully capitalise on … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Endless Night – Dreamcatcher

In this segment, I will be spotlighting those standout albums and giving my thoughts on each and every track In honour of Loona's first win, I though I would it would only be appropriate to have a … Continue reading ALBUM REVIEW: LOOΠΔ – [#]
Recently, I've begun to dive deeper into the world of incredibly large Japanese girl groups. Of these, Nogizaka46 is probably the one that I've taken the most interest towards. Not only do they have some of the strongest j-pop singles of all time up their sleeve, but their discography as whole is incredibly solid. This … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Anastasia – Nogizaka46
Almost a year on from their last song, the fun latin inspired Loca, FAVORITE are back with a new single in the form of Lie (또 LIE). Although not much of a fan of their previous effort, I went into this track with utmost optimism. This is due to the track being an Ollounder/ Leez … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Lie (또 LIE) – FAVORITE
Other than their less than stellar debut Nom, I've enjoyed pretty much everything Dongkiz have released. The ghostbusters sampling Blockbuster was a great time, and followup Fever was even better. Even January's All I Need Is You, an album track turned single was one of that months stronger songs. After all my favourite group have … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Lupin – DONGKIZ
Over the past few weeks, I've had an almost unhealthy obsession with the works of OT5 TVXQ. The addition of the majority of their discography back onto Spotify certainly helped, but even before this I've always believed that their work as a duo never came close to their work a quintet. Not only did they … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Brava!!Brava!!Brava!! – Kim Jaejoong
In just over a year after their debut, ITZY's shadow looms over much of what modern day kpop girl group fare sounds like. This disjointed upbeat pop, made viral early last year by the groups mammoth hit Dalla Dalla, has pretty much come to dominate much of the girl group landscape in the past few … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Wannabe – ITZY
