So far, of the two 2020 Johnny's debuts Snowman have yet to completely impress me. I really enjoyed both D.D. and especially Stories but nether of them felt like stunning musical moments, something their brother group, SixTONES excelled at delivering last year. And as such, I came into Grandeur with pursed expectations. And thankfully, I … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Grandeur – Snowman
When it comes down to K-pop and music in general, the best songs usually aren’t the ones getting promoted. And because of this, their quality is most of the time never unearthed or just completely overlooked by the majority of listeners. I want to change that and that’s why I’m going to be counting down … Continue reading The 100 Best K-pop B-Sides / Album Tracks of 2020 (50-26)
After 2019's sensational Fantasy, Pink Fantasy have been going through an unfortunate downward spiral. Both commercially and musically. Neither of their follow up singles were all too promising and the departure of some of their more popular members hit them pretty hard. Lemon Candy is a pre-release single for their upcoming mini album and unfortunately, … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Lemon Candy – Pink Fantasy

U-know's 'NOIR' has quickly gone onto become one of my favourite mini albums of the year so far and while that might not mean much given that we're only 20 odd days into January, I predict it will remain in heavy rotation for the foreseeable future. This is because the project is consistent all the … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: La Rosa – U-Know (feat. Shin Yeeun)
When U-know debuted as soloist in 2019 with the fantastic Follow, I was absolutely thrilled by its classic, near robotic soundscape. And much of the album matched the strength of its lead single. So when I heard that his new project would be centered around the idea of film, I was very excited. It promised … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Thank U – U-Know (Yunho of TVXQ)
If you've been a regular on this blog for the past year, then you might know that my relationship with Cherry Bullet's music hasn't been the best. I didn't think much of either of their 2020 singles and their sugary sweet sound wasn't something I really gravitated towards.

If there's anything that I've come to love about ONEUS over the past 2 years, it's that they're remarkably consistent. They're a group who love to experiment both musically and conceptually and while their material might not always hit the mark, every one of their comebacks is sure to excite in one way or another. … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: No diggity – ONEUS

Their singles run has been on a kind of downward spiral with each lead single being weaker than … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: My Turn – Cravity
