6 years on from its release, BTS' The Most Beautiful Moment In Life project remains my absolute favourite creative venture from the group. Gorgeously melodic whilst still playing around with genres, the entire project was what made me truly fall in love with the groups music in the first place and a sound that I've been … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: BTS – Yet To Come (The Most Beautiful Moment)
When NCT Dream announced that they would be returning with bright, throwback single titled Beatbox, I was over the moon. I had longed for the return of the bright, poppy sound that the sub-unit had debuted with and though last years Hello Future helped reignite some of that through its gorgeous, jubilant chorus, its harsher … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: NCT DREAM – Beatbox

As my current favourite boy group, I approach every TXT release with a sense of optimism and curiosity. … Continue reading Album Review: TXT – minisode 2: Thursday’s Child
P-Nation have been one of those agencies that have drawn me in through the sheer personality of their artists over their musical output. Artists like Jessi, HyunA and PSY himself all have such magnetic charm that they can make almost anything, music or not worth seeking out. And though I didn't watch LOUD, it seemed … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: TNX – Move
When I consider groups that have been incredibly hit or miss for me, AB6IX are right up there with the likes of NCT and Monsta X. Groups a record of releasing tracks that I absolutely adore but most of the time return with solid if rather forgettable material. Their 2021 material largely sidestepped this issue … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: AB6IX – Savior
ONEUS were on fire in 2021, releasing some of my absolute favourite singles and albums of the year with a constantly shifting sound that somehow still maintained a high water mark that eventually culminated in the majestic Luna.
