A SuperM comeback has been almost imminent for some time now. After gracing us with last years divisive but surprisingly great Jopping, the SM super group have been undertaking personal activities with either their groups or own solo ventures. But without much teasing at all, news dropped that the group were coming back with the … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: 100 – SuperM
Of all the trends that have come to dominate the K-pop landscape over the past year, the retro revolution is one that I'm fully on board for. After the gargantuan success of western acts such as the Weeknd and Dua Lipa, Korea have quickly latched onto this now global appreciation of music of the days … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: When We Disco – JYP (Duet With Sunmi)
Since his stint on Produce X 101 and resulting group X1, I have been completely charmed by Han Seungwoo. He singlehandedly got me to pay more attention to Victon's discography and his talent as a musician really shouldn't be underestimated. He reminds me alot of INFINITE's Dongwoo, an idol who can both rap and sing … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Sacrifice – Han Seungwoo (VICTON)
ONF are one of my absolute favourite boy groups. And while their discography may be small, I don't think they've had a single miss yet. The group's sound has been quite varied over their now 7 singles but each have managed to be absolutely stunning in their own unique way. New single Sukhumvit Swimming might … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Sukhumvit Swimming – ONF
With the burgeoning growth of K-pop in its current state, many newer fans are unaware of many of the genres past classics. That’s why every week I will be taking a look back at some of K-pop’s most exciting and iconic tracks that were released before the conception of this blog to shed some light on this … Continue reading Retro Rewind: As If It’s Your Last – Blackpink
After almost two years, TREASURE are finally here! In standard YG fashion, the boys have been pulled out of the dungeon to debut with a grand total of...... 2 tracks! It's the kind of release formula the company have always favoured and one that I for the life of me can't understand. But January's Going … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: BOY – TREASURE
I'm a massive fan of Woolim Entertainment. They gave rise to my favourite boy group of all time, Infinite and now house the great Lovelyz and brilliant Golden Child. Those are all groups I adore, so why am I having such a hard time getting into Rocket Punch? While I enjoyed their last mini album … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Juicy – Rocket Punch
I just havn't been able to get into Cherry Bullet. Apart from their great debut, none of their singles have really connected with me. This lack of enthusiasm was furthered thanks to February's Hands Up which attempted to incorporate an interesting Für Elise sample to less than impressive results. I thought that track was a … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Aloha Oe – Cherry Bullet
Oh boy. In my July monthly roundup I mentioned how Daniel's pre-release single, Waves had fallen from a rather strong single to something that I rarely returned to. While still a fine song, I described my desire to see a much stronger and unique title track. Well, I'm pretty sure I jinxed it because Who … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Who U Are – Kang Daniel
When it comes to my favourite Korean solo artists, I would have to toss it up between Sunmi and Taemin. Not only do both artists have some incredibly strong material but both manage to infuse each and every single one of their songs with a sense of individuality. More than just singers they're performers and … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: 2 KIDS – Taemin (SHINee)
