Considering that GFRIEND were my favourite girl group at the time of their disbandment, I'm quite surprised that I never got around to writing about either of Viviz's two singles, Bop Bop or Lovedade. Neither track really did much for me but the affiliation to my prior bias group really should have warranted a few … Continue reading Song Review: Viviz – Pull Up

Song Review: NCT 127 – Ay-Yo
Despite three units and more than 20 members, NCT have basically become a one trick pony. Both musically and personality wise. For what seems like forever, 127 seem to be the primary unit, with U basically being forgotten and Dream essentially teetering a similar sound though more recently have been going back to their brighter, … Continue reading Song Review: NCT 127 – Ay-Yo
SONG REVIEW: TWICE – Moonlight Sunrise
When considering some of the best English language K-pop tracks of the past few years, TWICE' wonderfully catchy The Feels ranks near the very top, delivering a cavalcade of classic pop hooks whilst still retaining the classic TWICE sound that we all know and love. Moonlight Sunrise, similarly to its predecessor, comes as an English … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: TWICE – Moonlight Sunrise
SONG REVIEW: WEi – Spray
Despite essentially having arguably one of the strongest lineups in the industry, WEi's musical output has been less than stellar. Bar last years incredibly catchy summer time bop Bye Bye Bye, the group have been a little all over the place. Songs like March's Too Bad and August's Maldives have pointed towards a brighter, more … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: WEi – Spray
SONG REVIEW: (G)I-DLE – Nxde
For some strange reason, there's been a surprisingly high number of references in media towards Marilyn Monroe over the past few weeks. Most notably in the form of Netflix's incredibly controversial Blonde (you can read my thoughts on the film here), the former American icon has been almost everywhere, continuing to be peddled as a … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: (G)I-DLE – Nxde
SONG REVIEW: Kep1er – We Fresh
You know, looking back at Kep1er's discography so far, it actually isn't too bad. Debut effort Wa Da Da initially polarised but soon grew into a pretty catchy listen while followup Up! impressed with its bright summery energy and great chorus. And while the singles were nice, b-sides like MVSK and Attention also shone some … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Kep1er – We Fresh
SONG REVIEW: BTS – Yet To Come (The Most Beautiful Moment)
6 years on from its release, BTS' The Most Beautiful Moment In Life project remains my absolute favourite creative venture from the group. Gorgeously melodic whilst still playing around with genres, the entire project was what made me truly fall in love with the groups music in the first place and a sound that I've been … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: BTS – Yet To Come (The Most Beautiful Moment)
SONG REVIEW: NCT DREAM – Beatbox
When NCT Dream announced that they would be returning with bright, throwback single titled Beatbox, I was over the moon. I had longed for the return of the bright, poppy sound that the sub-unit had debuted with and though last years Hello Future helped reignite some of that through its gorgeous, jubilant chorus, its harsher … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: NCT DREAM – Beatbox
SONG REVIEW: SEVENTEEN – HOT
Though perfectly serviceable and quite pleasant, Seventeen's Darl+ing didn't last as long as would have expected on my playlist. It's promising instrumental shifts excited initially but became more and more tiresome as the listens added up. As such, I didn't quite know what to expect from new single HOT. SEVENTEEN's music has become much more … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: SEVENTEEN – HOT
SONG REVIEW: GOT7 – NANANA
When JYP announced that all 7 members of GOT7 had chosen to leave the company back in January of 2021, many including myself saw it as a soft disbandment. Sure the boys vowed to come back together as a group in the future to meet fans but as history has told us time and time … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: GOT7 – NANANA
