Though I would have loved to see a full group comeback from them after January's Skinz, OnlyOneOf's Underground Idol project has been remarkably solid. Bar Junji's middling Be Mine, both Yoojung's Begin and KB's Be Free have served as 2022 standouts, targeting my musical sweet spots whilst also working as great expansions of the groups … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Rie (OnlyOneOf) – Because
aespa - Girls A mammoth SMP-style throwback from one of Korea's biggest and most popular groups, Girls reaches back to the SM sounds of old to create one of the years most magnetic singles. Endlessly creative and consistently thrilling, Girls stands as the groups most vocally exciting and instrumentally bombastic track yet, harnessing their many … Continue reading 2022 K-pop Roundup (July – August)
With last years dynamic libidO, OnlyOneOf finally managed to find that perfect match between song and concept. Its dark, evocative production coupled with its thrilling collection of hooks proved to be truly iconic in a year that was already filled with its fair share of icons.

As much I want to, I've never really been able to get into OnlyOneOf. Their music always seems rough and unfinished to me and I think that has to do with the arrangement of most of their tracks. It could also do with their vocal blend. One that I personally don't find too exciting. So … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: libidO – OnlyOneOf
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: May 2020
BVNDIT - Jungle https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lqsGDqkl2c Another BVNDIT track that just doesn't connect with me. I appreciate the attempt to incorporate a more tribal vibe but most of the track just plays like generic moody girl crush. The central drop is especially grating and retains almost nothing that made Dumb (their best single) at least mildly enjoyable. … Continue reading Quickie Catchup Reviews: BVNDIT, Day6, DKB, KEEMBO, Monsta X, Nu’est, NCT127, ONEWE, OnlyOneOf, Sujeong
