When SM Entertainment unveiled their female super group back in early 2022, many including myself believed them to be the female equivalent to the wonderfully successful SuperM. Both in sound and ambition. With the likes of Taeyeon, Wendy, Seulgi, BoA, Karina, Winter and Hyoyeon, the stage almost seemed set for a real display of throw … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: GOT the beat – Stamp On It
Around the same time last year, NCT 127 graced us with one of the most baffling lead singles in recent memory. Sticker was a complete shock to both fans and casual listeners alike, delivering an absurdly produced single with one of the most wacky samples these ears have ever heard. In many ways its overall … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: NCT 127 – 2 Baddies
At the start of 2020, Stray Kids were one of my favourite artists. Off the heels of two of 2019's strongest and most daring singles in the form of Miroh and Side Effects, the group seemed to be moving towards even bigger and better work. And though their commercial success has definitely sky rocketed since … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Stray Kids – Case 143
When NMIXX debuted with the big, brash and incredibly fractured O.O, many including myself were left completely dumbfounded. It was the definition of a Frankenstein song, bringing together a number of completely disparate elements into a single that felt like putting your brain into a blender. But time has been incredibly kind to that track, … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: NMIXX – DICE
I think it's become a universal thing for Blackpink's Pink Venom to grow from an otherwise obnoxious listen to a fun, almost comical experience. The song has experienced a surprising level of longevity on my playlist, courtesy of endless meming and its honestly addictive centrepiece. It's not a good song at all and is unlikely … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: BLACKPINK – Shut Down
Ever since their debut last year, EPEX and I have had the most bipolar (ironic considering the name of their debut album) of relationships. I absolutely despised debut effort Lock Down but came to adore comeback single Do 4 Me. They were effectively on two sides of the scale, one at the very bottom and … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: EPEX – Anthem Of Teen Spirit
The debut of a Korean JYP girl group is always an exciting prospect. They're a company that have yet to miss in this particular department, having both a killer current roster and incredibly star studded history. And usually the debut tracks that these acts are introduced with are equally as great as the groups themselves. … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: NMIXX – O.O
Despite my personal qualms with Blackpink's music, I've always found the girls to be more appealing as four distinct personalities than as a group. This is something that lends very well to solo ventures and much like how member Jennie debuted back in late 2018 with, Rosé has graced us with her own solo venture … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: On The Ground – Rosé (BLACKPINK)
Ever since their debut with the explosive Treasure and experimental Pirate King, ATEEZ have had an incredible, no filler all killer singles run. The triple punch of Wave, Wonderland and Answer remains one of K-pop's all time best and the groups adherance to a bombastic yet heavily melodic sound was one that clicked with me … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Fireworks (I’m The One) – ATEEZ
Chunga's first full length studio album has been teased for almost a year now with a number of very strong pre-release singles and alluring teasers. Songs like Stay Tonight and Play saw Chungha at her strongest, which only raised expectations for what could have been one of the most momentous comebacks of the year. Unfortunately, … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Bicycle – Chungha
