I've had a strained relationship with EXO-SC. As much as I've wanted to love them, they've consistently released the weakest EXO adjacent material. Their music is just not for me and their debut single What a Life was everything I despised about modern music in one unpleasant package. It was one of my least favourite … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: 1 Billion Views (Feat. Moon) – EXO-SC
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

So it seems fitting that they … Continue reading Ranking Every Single: TWICE

Given the hype surrounding the Irene x Seulgi sub-unit, I guess … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Monster – Irene & Seulgi (Red Velvet)

Not only has this raised anticipation for her album but it also proves that she's a dynamite performer capable of pulling off multiple … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Play (feat. Changmo) – Chungha
Stray Kids are going all out with the promotional cycle of their first full length album and I couldn't be happier about it. It's one of the years stronger projects, full of strong, genre bending material that really helps showcase the groups different sides. God's Menu has grown on me ever so slightly since release … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Easy – Stray Kids
After years of being under-appreciated, SF9 finally hit big with their January hit Good Guy. I enjoyed that song quite a bit and while it was no Now or Never, it felt like a solid breakout song. Thanks to members Rowoon and Chani gaining attention through their acting gigs, the group have finally gotten enough … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Summer Breeze – SF9
