Ever since the finale of Produce X 101 and later, the dissolution of project group X1, we've been seeing a steady stream of debuts from units or groups comprised of members that gained new found popularity through the show. And while some have been quite great, most have been pretty middling to just flat out … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: KILLA – MIRAE
DRIPPIN debuted last year with the stunning Nostalgia, instantly cementing themselves as one of this generations most promising rookies. Their stylish dance pop sound was incredibly refreshing and bled through into the supporting mini album, 'Boyager' which also was home to some of 2020's strongest B-sides. But as important as a debut is, equally important … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Young Blood – DRIPPIN
Since the release of 2019's fantastic Sha La La, I don't think I've connected strongly with a major Pentagon release. Sure some of my past posts may indicate otherwise but even the songs that I initially reviewed positively since went on to not have the best longevity (see Dr.BeBe). I think that's been more due … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: DO or NOT – Pentagon
As RBW's first girl group since the incredibly successful Mamamoo, Purple Kiss have a lot to live upto. We've seen sneak peeks at the girls abilities through pre-releases like the Dreamcatcher-esque My Heart Skip A Beat and the moody downtempo Can We Talk Again but neither really caught my attention. So I was curious to … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Ponzona – Purple Kiss
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 Rave Review: I Really Want You – SHINee

Keembo are an interesting case study for me. As one part Spica and one part Sweetune, they were theoretically a guaranteed lock for me and were destined to be one of my bias groups. But apart from debut effort Scandalous, I don't think I've very truly connected with any of their songs. Their releases feel … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Inside – Keembo
Despite my personal qualms with Blackpink's music, I've always found the girls to be more appealing as four distinct personalities than as a group. This is something that lends very well to solo ventures and much like how member Jennie debuted back in late 2018 with, Rosé has graced us with her own solo venture … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: On The Ground – Rosé (BLACKPINK)
Though I had not expected much from them upon their debut, Ghost9 have quickly gone onto craft a truly interesting discography with songs that go straight for the jugular and arrangements that reach for the sky. They have proven themselves to be conveyers of some truly immense music and their versatility completely shattered my initial … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Seoul – Ghost9
Though I might currently favour the more modern discographies of multiple different Johnny's groups, there was a period of time in the late 00's and early 10's where Kat-Tun were just unstoppable. It was legendary period where almost everything they released was gold with songs like Rescue, Run For You, White, Triangle and Dead or … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Roar – Kat-Tun
