It's finally that time of the year! Given that most us have been stuck indoors for the greater part of 2020, it's hard to believe that we've already reached the halfway mark. And apart from the global pandemic, rising international tensions, social uprisings and natural disasters I would like to think that it's been a … Continue reading Best Kpop Songs of 2020: Mid-Year edition
After their rather successful stint on Road to Kingdom, Verivery have made a rapid-fire comeback with their new mini album 'Face You'. The group have slowly been going down a mature route since their debut and January's Lay Back felt like one of the more successful transitions. However, their RTK comeback ''single'' Beautiful-x pointed towards … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Thunder – Verivery
Due to the relentless release schedule that us K-pop fans have to endure, it’s not easy to consume all the content at once. That’s why I thought it would be fun at the end of each month, to look back at my top 5 singles and B-sides along with my top 3 albums. Although my placement for … Continue reading K-POP Monthly Roundup: June 2020
AB6IX snatched a place in my top 10 Kpop songs of 2019 with the effortlessly cool Blind For Love. Since then the group have gone through a number of issues including members injuries and leader Youngmin's DUI, which eventually led to him leaving the group. This led The Answer and its accompanying album to be … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: The Answer – AB6IX
3YE debuted last year with one of the more unique kpop member configurations and garnered some instant buzz as a result. Sure, it wasn't as massive as some of the other debuts that we were graced with last year, it did show some promise. OOMM especially with its thumping Billie Eilish inspired pre-chorus indicated some … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Yessir – 3YE
Since the conclusion of Produce X 101 and the disbandment of resulting group X1, most of the groups members have embarked on solo ventures. However, most of these (especially the UP10TION boys) seemed like simple cash grabs or opportunistic efforts to increase member popularity. However for someone like Cho Seungyeon (Woodz), solo work was expect. … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Love Me Harder – WOODZ
Boy today is packed with comebacks isn't it? If memory serves me right, we've got a grand total of nearly five acts coming back today?! That's probably the most I've ever seen! And for once, the soloists outnumber the groups. And while I have my own personal biases, I would be lying if I said … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Maria – Hwasa (Mamamoo)
I love Sunmi. Since officially debuting as a soloist back in 2017, she's pretty much become the kpop diva. She's one of the most consistent and instantly enthralling soloists out there, with one hell of a voice. And while she doesn't release songs very often, when she does, it's almost guaranteed greatness. Apart from a … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Pporappippam – Sunmi
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
While 'GO LIVE' has been out for around two weeks by now, the groups release schedule prompted me to delay that feature for a few more. During each of the comebacks, the group have more often than not chosen to promote a few tracks alongside the main title track. So rather than write an album … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Blueprint – Stray Kids
