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
As a group, EXO have supplied us with some of the most unique, hard hitting tracks of the past few years. Not only that, but the groups diverse roster of vocalists and performers make the idea of solo work and incredibly exciting prospect.

I've liked almost all their the songs initially, but only a few have been able to last the test of … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Hold – WINNER

Other than their brilliant high energy 2018 debut, Call Call Call!, they've embraced a much more moody and dark sound. This has impacted both their recent Korean material, as well as their … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Fallin Flower – SEVENTEEN
What can I say that hasn't already been said about Kang Daniel? I mean the guy is a CEO, Produce 101 winner, the nations centre, former Wanna One member, and most importantly god Jihyo's boyfriend.

RBW Entertainment's ONEUS were on of my top rookies of 2019, bursting out of the gate with the incredible Valkyrie and an equally potent mini album.

While they group still provided excellent album tracks like A … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: A Song Written Easily – ONEUS
