The last time TXT came back in the month of October, we got, what I now consider one of my favourite Kpop songs of all time, the sensational Run Away (9 and Three Quarters). So theoretically, this should put massive expectations on Blue Hour; but given my rather evident dislike for May's Can't You See … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Blue Hour – TXT
Ever since old school funk and retro became one of the K-pop industries leading trends, I've been pulling for Seventeen to give us the kind of big, brash, pop stomper that characterised so much of their early years. Unfortunately, June's Left & Right was not that, relying much more on catchphrase heavy hooks and the … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: HOME;RUN – SEVENTEEN
Although I love them dearly, TXT's 2020 output has been less than stellar. Title track Can't You See Me has only gotten more forgettable with time and the less said about Puma the better. I loved their debut year work but it almost seemed like the group were going down a route that just didn't … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Everlasting Shine – TXT
As their popularity continues to grow, I've felt an odd disconnect from BTS' recent musical output. Sure, it's been solid but it hasn't had the same kind of emotional or dynamic impact as their best work. Last years "Map Of The Soul: Persona" was a step in the right direction but despite a few highlights, … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Dynamite – BTS
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 After being acquired by Bighit Entertainment, Gfriend have embarked on a new album series that can only be … Continue reading ALBUM REVIEW: GFRIEND – 回:Song Of The Sirens
For a while now, Gfriend have been stuck rehashing past glories with songs that while enjoyable, feel much more underwhelming than they should for a group of their status. Such was the case with early 2020 single Crossroads, which while solid pretty much vanished from memory after a few weeks. It also didn't help that … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Apple – GFRIEND
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
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
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
I debated whether or not to give this song a full review. Given its release earlier in the year as one of the best album tracks on BTS's 20 song opus, 'Map Of The Soul:7' and the fact that I gave my thoughts on it in my review of the album, it almost felt kinda … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: We are Bulletproof: the Eternal – BTS
