Their shift into safer more bright territory to appease the western market results in tracks that while strong, don't feel anything like the BTS that many have come to know and love. But every once in a while … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Permission To Dance – BTS
SONG REVIEW: Butter – BTS

SONG REVIEW: Life Goes On – BTS
I think it's finally time for me to come to terms with the fact that I've begun to fall out of love with BTS' music. 2020 is a year that has heralded massive success for the group and their recent success on the billboard hot 100 with August's Dynamite is certainly evidence of that.
