Despite the title track being a little too generic for my liking, Cravity's debut album is probably my favourite debut of the year so far. The album was full of enjoyable yet different material with tracks like Top of the Chain, Stay and Star being definite standouts. Another one of these undeniable highlights was Cloud … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Cloud 9 – Cravity
Nature are one of those groups that I knew existed but never really payed attention to. I enjoyed their debut and last years I'm So Pretty was fun but I felt like all their other singles were pretty forgettable. The group have gone through a number of conceptual changes but have always stuck to a … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Girls – Nature
Well I wasn't expecting this! Seventeen have long been one of my favourite boy groups but it's been a while since we got a poppy, upbeat track from the boys, and even longer since they've gone full funk. Pre-release My My isn't funk, but it's the first time since mid 2018 that the group have … Continue reading Song Review: My My – SEVENTEEN
After the debut onslaught that was 2019, 2020 has obviously felt slight in comparison. Not only have there been less debuts, but very few of them have actual left a lasting impression on me. Of course there have been exceptions, but I'm still waiting for 2020's Crown, Dalla Dalla or even Valkyrie! The latest group … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Swear – E’Last
Theoretically, I should have been counting down the minutes to Butterfly's release. But given 2020's terrible track record I've chosen to go into every single k-pop comeback with absolutely 0 expectations. Cosmic Girls released my favourite girl group single of 2019 and are easily lodged within my current top three girl groups. But after Gfriend … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Butterfly – WJSN (Cosmic Girls)
When it comes to 'Produce' idols, Park Jihoon has easily been the solo idol with the most musically consistent discography. Last years 360 and especially L.O.V.E were both strong pop songs with strong production and addicting hooks. And while I wasn't exactly looking forward to this comeback, Jihoon has shattered all expectations with the bombastic … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Wing – Park Jihoon
TXT are one of my absolute favourite rookie groups and so far have amassed a discography that easily set them apart form their star studded seniors. They burst out of the gate with the incredible Crown and followed that up with one of my favourite kpop songs, the breathtaking Run Away. This raised my expectations … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Can’t You See Me? – TXT
After almost 2 weeks, I'm finally back! And boy do I have a lot to catch up on! The past few weeks were absolutely packed with releases and while I eagerly wanted to write about them, my academic life was equally cluttered with assignments and tests at every corner. But now that I have some … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Daechwita – Agust D (BTS Suga)
Ever since their debut, Astro have always been one of my favourite boy groups. Their bright, upbeat pop sound was incredibly refreshing and paved the way for some of K-pop's most instantly addictive singles. But much like every other boy group, Astro felt the need to 'mature' themselves. And while this approach has mostly yielded … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Knock – Astro
Out of the three NCT units, Dream have consistently released some of my favourite material. While their earlier work adhered to a more bubblegum sound, it resulted in some of my absolute favourite NCT songs in Chewing Gum and especially My First And Last. Their shift to a more harder edged sound has made them … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Ridin’ – NCT DREAM
