CIX's Jungle has been a long time coming. Originally scheduled for a June 30th release, the track and its accompanying album, 'HELLO Chapter 3: Hello, Strange Time' were delayed due to centre and former Wanna One member Bae Jinyoung's ankle injury. And now after nearly 4 months, it's here. But was the wait worth it? … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Jungle – CIX
Ever since the release of last years Hip, the members of Mammamo have lent a much greater focus on their solo careers. Moonbyul, Hwasa and Solar have all released solo singles (and in Hwasa and Moonbyul's cases, mini albums) and Wheein has furthered her reputation as an OST mainstay within the K-drama sphere. Now, nearly … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Dingga – Mamamoo
Over the past few months, I've come to realise that I love the idea of Loona more than the group themselves. I heavily enjoyed much of their pre-release material and the group is home to some really great personalities. But musically, I've failed to really connect with any of their full group release. Apart from … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Why Not? – Loona
As a group, UP10TION had a fantastic first few years. Songs like White Night, Tonight and Going Crazy were some of the best pop songs of 2016 and 2017 respectively and while their material since has remained strong, it's lacked the impact of their best work. Last years Your Gravity was a nice dance track … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Light – UP10TION
Despite having some of the best pre-debut material i've ever seen, Treasure's eventual debut ended up falling kind of flat for me. It was solid but felt way too much like a rehash of the current sound that YG seem to be obsessed with. That's why despite the very promising teasers, I remained wary of … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: I Love You – TREASURE
CLC are one of those groups that I've desperately wanted to like more than I do. There are moments in their discography that really shine, but as a whole it doesn't really connect with me. For every To The Sky or No you've got a High Heels or (even though many loved it) Me. I … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Helicopter – CLC
It's been almost 16 months since the last Lovelyz comeback. For many, such a long wait would amount to nothing less than career suicide. Thankfully, Lovelyz have formed a strong, dedicated fanbase and have been spending this lost time giving their many members solo ventures. Kei's 2019 solo debut was a fun Disney-esque single reminiscent … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Obliviate – Lovelyz
KARD's transition to a more harder edged sound has so far yielded some less than impressive results. Bomb Bomb and Dumb Litty were two of my least favourite tracks from last year and while it has since grown on me, Red Moon wasn't much better. And while I understand that this is more an issue … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Gunshot – KARD
If I had to put it bluntly, I've been underwhelmed by almost every single post X1 comeback. All the boys have the potential to really hit big but the material they've chosen or been given has just not made good use of their talents. Of the many that we've gotten over the course of the … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: No More – Kim Yohan
Despite the amount of hype garnered for their debut, Cravity's initial foray into the kpop world was kind of underwhelming. Sure, Break All The Rules has grown on me quite abit but to say that it was what I wanted from the group would be far from the truth. It felt too much like Monsta … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Flame – Cravity
