AB6IX snatched a place in my top 10 Kpop songs of 2019 with the effortlessly cool Blind For Love. Since then the group have gone through a number of issues including members injuries and leader Youngmin's DUI, which eventually led to him leaving the group. This led The Answer and its accompanying album to be … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: The Answer – AB6IX
3YE debuted last year with one of the more unique kpop member configurations and garnered some instant buzz as a result. Sure, it wasn't as massive as some of the other debuts that we were graced with last year, it did show some promise. OOMM especially with its thumping Billie Eilish inspired pre-chorus indicated some … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Yessir – 3YE
Since the conclusion of Produce X 101 and the disbandment of resulting group X1, most of the groups members have embarked on solo ventures. However, most of these (especially the UP10TION boys) seemed like simple cash grabs or opportunistic efforts to increase member popularity. However for someone like Cho Seungyeon (Woodz), solo work was expect. … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Love Me Harder – WOODZ
Boy today is packed with comebacks isn't it? If memory serves me right, we've got a grand total of nearly five acts coming back today?! That's probably the most I've ever seen! And for once, the soloists outnumber the groups. And while I have my own personal biases, I would be lying if I said … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Maria – Hwasa (Mamamoo)
I love Sunmi. Since officially debuting as a soloist back in 2017, she's pretty much become the kpop diva. She's one of the most consistent and instantly enthralling soloists out there, with one hell of a voice. And while she doesn't release songs very often, when she does, it's almost guaranteed greatness. Apart from a … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Pporappippam – Sunmi
Coming into May I expected to be raving about each and every single one of TXT's three expected music videos. But after the good but unspectacular Can't You See Me and the disastrous PUMA, my hopes for any further TXT releases had pretty much reached an all time low. Given this current disappointment, I'm actually … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Eternally – TXT
While 'GO LIVE' has been out for around two weeks by now, the groups release schedule prompted me to delay that feature for a few more. During each of the comebacks, the group have more often than not chosen to promote a few tracks alongside the main title track. So rather than write an album … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Blueprint – Stray Kids
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, please welcome an all new feature, Beast Sides! These songs put the Beast in B-side and are … Continue reading Beast Sides: OMG – Golden Child
A.C.E - Stand By You https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWLiDxXTFlc After a year that saw them release both their best and worst singles, A.C.E have finally made their mark in 2020 with the powerful balladry of Stand By You. While I would usually discount tracks such as this, Stand By You is a ballad that manages to hold its … Continue reading Quickie Catchup Reviews: A.C.E, Aweek, Bang Yedam, Ha Sungwoon, IU, Momoland, N.Flying, Super Junior K.R.Y, Victon,
When compared to last years more restrained release schedule, BTS have been utterly prolific this year. Stay Gold is the groups 6th!! music video this year and it's only June. Looking at it in perspective, the group have pretty much released one mv per month, a staggering feat in itself. However, with this much material … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Stay Gold – BTS
