Though they were always on my radar, 2019 was really the year when NCT 127 really forced me to take notice of them. Before the incredible one two punch of Superhuman and Highway To Heaven, I would have probably considered them to be my least favourite of the NCT units. But one phenomenal mini album … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Kick It – NCT 127
Time to kick off a new feature on this blog! As the title suggests, this feature will consist of me ranking every single by my favourite Kpop groups. There are many sites which rank their top 10 songs, but few look at the groups entire promotional discography. I aim to change that by looking at … Continue reading Ranking Every Single: SHINee
Sometimes the best things come from places where you least expect it. Though they released some pre-debut material, I was never all that invested in CRAXY. From a distance they seemed like just another low budget girl group destined to get lost in the ever-changing and oversaturated kpop market. As a result, I wasn't all … Continue reading Song Review: Aria – CRAXY
Although I’ll primarily be reviewing singles, there are some albums that are too influential or strong to not cover. In this segment, I will be spotlighting those standout albums and giving my thoughts on each and every track Probably my favourite album of the year so far, Dreamcatcher's first full length album is an absolute triumph. … Continue reading ALBUM REVIEW: Dreamcatcher – Dystopia: The Tree Of Language
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: February 2020
3YE - Queen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWOtN5B8PnU The entire first half of this song is as near perfect as modern k-pop can get. Heavily recalling everything great about 2NE1's imperial phase, Queen rides on an incredibly potent electro bounce that's made even better by the attitude infused delivery of the groups members. The trance influenced hook is also … Continue reading Quickie Catchup Reviews: 3YE, AB6IX, ELRIS, Henry,TWICE, Spectrum, UNVS
The first notable debut of the year, MCND are the latest boy group from the rather middling, but always musically potent Top Media. All three of the companies previous groups (Teen Top, 100% and Up10tion) have all been responsible for releasing an incredibly consistent stream of music, and as a result MCND fall under high … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: ICE AGE – MCND
To put it frankly, most of AB6IX's new '5INALLY' project is completely faceless. While I gave Woong's Moondance a decent review earlier in the month, that track has all but faded from memory. The same could be said about last week's More, which although I enjoyed more than Moondance, was equally as faceless and thus … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Rose, Scent, Kiss – Lee Daehwi (AB6IX)

This was a decade … Continue reading KBOPPED’s BEST K-POP SONGS OF THE DECADE (25 – 1)
Though the Korean music industry is one of the most fruitful, I've always found myself in constant search and admiration for albums that adhere strongly to a single genre or concept. Though K-pop is big on concept, very rarely does it manage to carry over from the teaser pictures or mv into the actual album. … Continue reading Genre Classics: KARD – 1st Mini Album ‘Hola Hola’
