Stray Kids released my favourite song of 2019 with the incredible Miroh and have since found a permanent place on my bias list. Since that show stopping performance, they've comeback with the equally exhilarating Side Effects and consistently strong 'Cle:Levanter' mini album. Considering that 'Go Live' was going to be the groups debut full length … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: God’s Menu – Stray Kids
Though I consider IZ*ONE to be the most consistent of all the winning produce groups, their material is still incredibly hit or miss for me. And while I have enjoyed most of their Korean work, their last single Fiesta was the complete opposite of a grower becoming more grating as the months went on. The … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Secret Story of the Swan – IZ*ONE
After releasing some strong but otherwise rather similar tracks for their first few years, Twice wowed me last year with the one two punch of Fancy and Feel Special. The girls had expressed a desire to expand conceptually for years and 2019 was really a year to spread their wings. So far, almost every song … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: More & More – TWICE
The disbandment of X1 late last year has got to go down as one of K-pop's biggest disappointments. After breaking numerous records with their (very good) debut mini album, the group was forced into an unavoidable hiatus before simply being thrown out. Since then, many of the members have returned to their respective companies and … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Red Moon – Kim Wooseok
Before I start the review, I have to say that Oh My Girl is my favourite K-pop group currently active. Not only do they have one of the strongest and most consistent discographies of any group ever, but their sheer charisma and willingness to challenge the boundaries of their fairy tail concept has resulted in … Continue reading SONG REVEW: Non Stop – Oh My Girl
The debut of a new group is always exciting, especially when it comes from one of the bigger entertainment companies. Starship entertainment's Cravity is the latest group to join the company's illustrious roster of groups. Given the groups number of Produce alumni and last years excellent Pretty Girl, I was full on expecting the group … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Break All The Rules – Cravity
Over the past few years Winner have strayed away from the sounds that made me fall in love with them in the first place. While they have found success both commercially and musically with songs like Really Really, I've always craved that mature musical touch that defined much of their debut years. Remember and its … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Remember – WINNER
Almost 2 months on from their debut, C9 entertainments newest girl group have made a quick fire comeback with new single Assa. While technically a comeback, this track is being billed as a second debut, similar to how Blackpink debuted with both Whistle and Boombayah. However, the two month delay between songs does seem like … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: ASSA – Cignature
Since their massive 2018 debut Latata, (G)I-DLE have quickly gone onto become one of this generations most popular rookie groups. By initially adapting the girl crush market popularised by groups like Blackpink, the girls have carved out a little niche for themselves thanks to their leader and producer Jeon Soyeon. But while the girls continue … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Oh my god – (G)I-DLE
It's been an exciting few weeks for fans of Produce 101 alumni. A week ago we had former I.O.I member Kim Sejeong's Plant, and now former Wanna One members Kang Daniel and Ong Seong Wu have released solo comebacks on back to back days. Unfortunatly, neither of those aforementioned tracks really left much of mark … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Gravity – Ong Seong Wu
