After a near 15 month hiatus, incredibly underrated boy group Imfact are finally back with new music. And while I accept any return with open arms, 2020 has been a rather lacklustre year for kpop, and boy groups especially. Many groups, both popular and nugu have been attempting to recreate the same sounds over and … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Lie – Imfact
GOT7 have been a weird group for me. I loved most of their debut era work, but almost all their post 2016 has left me cold. However, last years excellent You Calling My Name gave me hope of a resurgence, one dominated by unique soundscapes and instantly captivating hooks. This gave me hope that the … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Not By The Moon – GOT7
The debut of a new group is always exciting, especially when it comes from one of the bigger entertainment companies.

While last year was filled to the brim with high profile debuts, 2020 has only seen two really notable debuts in Cignature and MCND.

There's just something incredibly charming about its anything … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Spring – MCND
Over the past few years Winner have strayed away from the sounds that made me fall in love with them in the first place. While they have found success both commercially and musically with songs like Really Really, I've always craved that mature musical touch that defined much of their debut years. Remember and its … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Remember – WINNER
Almost 2 months on from their debut, C9 entertainments newest girl group have made a quick fire comeback with new single Assa. While technically a comeback, this track is being billed as a second debut, similar to how Blackpink debuted with both Whistle and Boombayah. However, the two month delay between songs does seem like … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: ASSA – Cignature
When we're talking about the connoisseurs of Kpop as we know it, one name that comes immediately to mind is TVXQ!

While I am the type of person who readily watches idol survival shows, To Be World Klass was one of the few that I pretty much ignored during its run time. While this was mostly due to a lack of time, the terrible remix of Brown Eyed Girl's groundbreaking Abracadabra didn't exactly help either. Add … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Magnolia – TOO
